tenants of the towns of Burnedyssh, Tatyngton, Batyngham, Dynyton,
Laxfeld, and Stradebrok to repair the king's palisade of Eye and the
causeway of that town contrary to what they have been used to do, and to
permit them to have what they have been used to have for the repair and
maintenance of the same, they having complained to the king that he
distrained them to repair the palisade and causeway contrary to what they
had been used to do, not permitting them to have what they have been
used to have for the repair of the same in times past; whereupon the king
ordered William de Ormesby and Robert de Reydon to enquire into the
premises in the bailiff's presence, and they found by inquisition that the
men and tenants of Burnedissh and Tadyngton ought to repair 66½ perches
of the palisade and 80 feet of the causeway, the men and tenants of Badymham ought to repair 40 perches of the palisade and 61 feet of the causeway,
the men and tenants of Dynyton 57 perches and 60 feet respectively, the
men and tenants of Laxfeld 40 perches and 100 feet respectively, the men
and tenants of Stradebroke 57 perches and 64 feet respectively, and that
they have been wont to do so time out of mind by reason of their tenements
held in those towns at fee-farm of the honour aforesaid by demise from a
duke of Louvaine, formerly lord of that honour, who first ordained the
enclosure of the park, and that the said men and tenants have been wont to
have from that time for the repair of the palisade and causeway timber out of
oak delivered by the bailiff of the honour out of the park to be felled at
their cost, and that they have been wont to take and dig soil in the land of
the honour near the causeway by delivery of the bailiff, and to take brushwood unfit for timber together with the remainder of the felled trees that
were not required for the repairs, and that the perches and feet aforesaid are insufficient to enclose the park or repair the causeway because the
township of Kelton ought to repair 40 perches of the aforesaid palisade and
70 feet of the causeway, and the men of the soke of Eye ought to repair
54½ perches of the palisade and 120 feet of the causeway, and the lords of
the honour ought to repair the remainder of the palisade and causeway;
which repairs the men and tenants are bound to do as often as necessary
when warned by the bailiff of the honour. |
