C [vol. 120] 22 The King granted to Edmund de Lacy I market on Wednesday at Tanshelfe in his Mannt of Pontefract And one faire there for three dayes, viz. on the Eue, the day, and the day after St Trinity &c.

15 There was no separate return for Tanshelf, either in the Domesday Survey or in the Poll Tax of 1378. In the above grant of a Fair, it is described as in the manor of Pontefract. But the corporate privileges of Pontefract never extended to Tanshelf, till they were obtained under a recent Borough Extension Act.

16 This seems to have been part of an attempt of Edmund de Lascy to raise the status of Tanshelf. It failed, however, and the fair was transferred to Pontefract by another charter of 22 Ed. I. (1294). See 31st Report of the DeputyKeeper of Public Records.

Note that the Duke of Lancaster had a Parke at Fipping, halfe a mile short of Turnebrigg vpon the Riuer Dun.

17 Thorne is recorded in the Domesday Survey to be in the fee of William de Warenne, to have a taxable area of four carucates, and to be tilled by 5 sokemen, 11 villanes, and 4 bordars. Its rateable value was not specifically mentioned, all the manors subordinate to Coningsborough (including Thorne) being rated in one lump sum. In the Poll Tax of 1378, the names of 90 taxpayers are given, 87 of whom paid only 4d. each, and 1 tailor paid 6d. The two most highly taxed, a chapman and a mercer, paid 12d. each, making a total of 31s. 6d.

18 Two different places are here confused: Thorne, a manor in the parish of Hatfield, and Turnbridge, a hamletin the parish of Snaith.

19 This must be for the rebuilding of the chapel, which was an ancient foun

dation, and is named among the early chapels belonging to the Lewes Cluniac Priory.

20 This will be found more at large in THE SIEGES OF PONTEFRACT CASTLE (R. Holmes, 1887). But there is in Mon. Ebor. 402, a much earlier document of the year 1285, by which the land between "Thuren-brigs and the bank of the river Aire" was made tithe-free. Unfortunately the reference escaped the index-maker, and therefore the passage is almost unknown. Burton gives page 22 of the Great Chartulary of Selby as his authority.

the same Thorp, which was not distinguished by a second name (Audlin) at the Survey, when it was reported to have formerly belonged to Elsi, the owner of Norton, Sutton, and other manors in the neighbourhood. The taxable area he possessed in Torp was 6 carucates 3 bovates, and it could have maintained 5 ploughs. The royal revenue from the manor was £1. At the time of the Survey, Elsi had been dispossessed and the manor was owned by one Ralph, who under the name of Ralph Pincerna in the time of Ilbert de Lascy, i.e. before 1087, had contributed to the foundation of St. Clement's Chapel by the gift of two garbs (apparently two-thirds of the tithe), and all the tithe of the mill, which he could not have given according to the practice of the day, had he not owned the mill itself. This gift must

have been after the Survey (and quickly, before the death of Ilbert de Lascy, who seems to have died very nearly at the same time as the King), for at the Survey the mill was not built, though the site was allotted; while, when the grant was made to St. Clement's the mill was built and in use. See also some remarks upon the introduction of windmills at the head of this article. The mill has now quite disappeared, and there is no trace of its former existence. At the time of the Poll Tax in 1378, there were 26 taxpayers, 19 at 4d., 4 at 6d., and 3 at 12d., paying altogether 11s. 4d. The 4 at 6d. were a butcher, a draper, a webster, and a wright; and the 3 at 12d., the three wealthiest men of the place (significant of the fact that the Great North Road bisected the manor), were three ostelers.
