Ormesby (continued).
203. (C. p. 153; D. art. 78).—Agreement between the abbot
and convent of Holm and Sir Thomas de Neuton, namely that the
abbot grants to fee farm to Sir Thomas and his heirs all Ormesby
for 14s. in silver yearly. It is not to be alienated without consent
of the abbot, etc. If the rent is not paid, the abbot may distrain
all the goods of Sir Thomas in Ormesby or even in Neuton. Witnesses—Sir Robert de Feritate, Master Adam de Crokedayke,
Adam de Thoresby, Hugh de Brumfeld, William de Osmunderlaw,
etc. [Thomas de Neuton was one of the conservators of the
peace for Cumberland (John Denton, Accompt, 170) in 1287.]
(C. p. 154).—"Look for the charter about the quarry at the
end of the book." [This may possibly refer to no. 54a, or a leaf
lost before the book was bound up. P. 155 begins with the end
of no. 201, crossed off.]
Dundraw.
204. (C. p. 155; D. art. 75).—Roger de Lyndeby [see no. 68]
grants to Holm abbey seven acres arable in Dundrahe, i.e. the
whole ploughed field (cultura) called Austine flat between Tathes
and Neulandes, which land he bought from John de Larges before
the county [-court] of Cumberland; service to the lord of Dundrahe 2s. 4d. yearly for all secular services. He gives his body to
be buried at Holm. If he dies at a distance he wishes the monks
nevertheless to keep the gift. [John Denton (Accompt, 31) says
that the wife of Roger de Lindeby was Agnes Dundraw. We
have not been able to identify John de Larges. Date c. 1230.]
204
a. (H. 1; D. art. 48).—Final Concord in the king's court
at Carlisle on the Sabbath after St. Luke [Oct. 18th], 6 Richard [I],
before Roger Bigot, earl of Norfolk, R[ ], archdeacon of
Hereford, William de Glaunvill and William Hervey, justices, and
others; between the monks of Holm and Gilbert f. Gilbert [f.
Serlo; see nos. 89, 90], concerning houses he has built to their
detriment. He will remove the houses within 40 days and put
them close to the church land at the head of Drumdrah rigg to the
east; and at the west part of the same church land begin to build
nine messuages to the west, so that each messuage will have six
perches in breadth across Drumdrahrigg towards the west.
Note that the houses Gilbert is to build will be placed at the head
of the land of Drumdrahrigg to the south, so that he and his heirs
will never make any house or building nearer to the said abbey of
Holmcoltran [1194].
