Flimby (continued).
53. (C. p. 36).—Robert, archdeacon of Carlisle [1156-c. 1180],
recites that Adam the clerk f. Cospatric f. Orm, rector of the
church of Camerton, has quitclaimed to Holm abbey in presence
of himself, the canons and many others the chapel of Flemingby
and all the land of Flemingby that belonged to the mother church
of Camerton, i.e. tithes and land which Adam owned in Flemingby,
and received from Cospatric his father property in Seton in
exchange. Witness—Udard the dean. [No. 49 dates this c.
1174.]
53a. (H. 2).—Adam f. Cospatric, parson of Camerton, after
controversy with Holm abbey concerning the tithes of the
chapel of Flemingby, quitclaims them to the abbey with any
right he had in the chapel, its lands and fisheries; also the fishery
on the Derwent. Done before Master 'William,' official, and the
general synod at Carlisle. [No Master William is known as
official of Carlisle until about 1262 which is far too late for this
transaction. The date is likely to be near that of no. 53b, or
c. 1200.]
53b. (H. 2)—Adam f. Cospatric, parson of Camerton, after
controversy with Holm abbey regarding the tithes of Waitecroft,
and considering the exemption from tithes granted by the Pope
to the monks, quitclaims these tithes to the abbey. Agreement
made before the chapter in St. Cuthbert's church, Carlisle. If
nos. 270 and 270a were granted by Innocent 111 in 1198–9, the date
of this would be c. 1200.]
54. (C. pp. 36, 37; D. art. 66).—Alicia de Rumeli, daughter of
William f. Dunecan, of her free will and by word of mouth during
her widowhood, has granted to Holm abbey common of pasture on
the moor of Brocton [Broughton moor, adjoining Flimby], part
of her fee, for the beasts of their grange at Flemingby. [She was
a widow from c. 1210 to 1223.]
[Aspatria.]
54a. (H. 1 and 2; D. art. 78).—Alice de Romelye, daughter of
William f. Duncan, in her widowhood grants to Holmcoltran a
quarry in a field called Sandwath in Aspatric for building purposes,
with right of way, three acres of her demesne in Aspatrik in
Northcroft between the crofts formerly of Henry and of Geoffrey,
and common pasture for ten oxen, ten cows, one bull, two horses
and 40 (or in one MS. 60) sheep. [Sandwith is a mile north of
Aspatria church. Date c. 1210–23.]
