I have as far as I know copied the inscriptions as they are upon the bells, and if the Latin is ungrammatical or wrongly spelled, the reader must blame the bellfounders and their instructors. One printer's error, however, I know that I have overlooked several times, namely Incunditate for Iucunditate. It only remains for me to thank the many kind friends who have in all sorts of ways helped me in this work. Aldborough-vol. xvii, p. 211. 4 and 5 are by Henry Jordan (1440-70), so could not have been given by Thomas Myton. Arncliffe-vol. xvii, p. 192. This bell is by John de Stafford. Barnby Don-vol. xvi, p. 59. Dr. Fairbank says that there was no such bell as 1 (old) when he saw the bells in the early eighties. He says there was a late sixteenth century bell, with a rose (? 16) on the shoulder, S.S., two crosses, and a shield with a cross and two crowns (? 15). I cannot say where I got the material for my note as to these old bells, but think it was from a Sheffield architect, who had the restoration of the church in hand in 1887. Bolton-by-Bolland-vol. xvii, p. 198. I am informed that an abbreviation, sometimes more like a 9 than a 2, is commonly found in ancient MSS. for con. Boroughbridge-vol. xvi, p. 212.

The date of 6 should be 1852. Keighley-vol. xvii, p. 197. These bells were cast in 1760. Ripon (Holy Trinity)-vol. xvii, p. 228. This bell would seem to be by John Wallis, of Salisbury. Sedbergh-vol. xvii, p. 208. 3 (old): Viat should be Fiat. Wakefield Cathedral-vol. xvii, p. 458. James Harrison was working at Barton, not Barrow, in 1739. Whixley-vol. xvii, p. 214. 1759. PIEBEM should be PLEBEM. (1) This date must be wrong; possibly CONFIRMATION OF A GRANT OF LAND AT HUGGATE TO WATTON PRIORY. THE original document, of which a facsimile and a copy are here given, is now in the possession of the senior Honorary Secretary of this Society. The deed records the confirmation by Thomas, son of William, of a grant by Geoffrey de Mandeville of half a knight's fee at Huggate to the Gilbertine priory of Watton, both places being in the East Riding. The deed is a very good specimen of the caligraphy of the period, and its interest is enhanced by the endorsement, which records that it was enrolled in Chancery on the third day after the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, in the 19th year of King Henry, son of John, that is, June 27th, 1235. The circular seal of green wax bears on the obverse, 1§ inches in diameter, three cushions, and the inscription, SIGILL' : THOME · FILII · WILLELMI; and on the reverse, inches in diameter, a classical gem, a sphinx, SECRET..... GILL': The marks of the fingers of the person who prepared the seal are still very visible on the reverse. The document is one of considerable importance, both from the rank of the parties and from the largeness of the gift, which amounted to about half the parish of Huggate, which now contains 7,003 acres. King's hands, Huggate is situated in the Wolds, between Driffield and Pocklington. In Domesday1 times there were two manors there. One, containing eight and a half carucates, was in the and the other, containing half a carucate less, was held by the King's thane, Ernuin the priest. By 1284-5, the date of Kirkby's Inquest, the two owners in chief at Huggate were Peter de Mauley, who held seven carucates, where sixteen carucates made a knight's fee, and the Baron of Greystoke held a knight's fee of ten carucates, which was held under him by the prior of Watton and the prior's tenants in frankalmoign. It is further stated that the prior had acquired his property from a certain Geoffrey de Maundewyll, or, as he is more correctly called in the charter, Mandeville. How the two moieties had become vested in Mauley and Greystoke, or how Mandeville's gift of half a knight's fee had been doubled in size, is not known. 1 1 Domesday (facsimile edition), pp. 66b, 88b. 2 Surtees Society, xlix, 84, 89. |
