MEMORANDUM.

Tue principle which guided the selection of the
following Extracts from the Court Rolls of the
Manor of Wimbledon is not identical with that
adopted by the Wimbledon Common Committee in
1866. The volume printed for the use of that Com-
mittee was compiled prior to the commencement of
litigation with Lord Spencer, and was designed to
give a general idea of the customs of the Manor
from the earliest to the present time. The addition
now made is not intended to supply omissions in
that volume. Its object is simply to assist Mr.
Peek’s advisers in unravelling a point raised by
Earl Spencer in the Chancery suit to which he is
a defendant, viz., the nature of the tenures which
in the earliest recorded times existed in the Manor.
The extracts do not profess to comprise every
entry relating to this subject, but simply those
which in the oldest rolls appeared to throw most
light upon it.

At this Court the third proclamation was made if
any one would have 4 acres and a half of land with the
appurtenances in Wymbildon, which lately were John
Long’s, being seised into the hands of the lord, because
the said John Long alienated and sold it to Richard
Reculver without the licence of the Court, as appears
in the first court of this year. And he opposed the
claim, &c. Therefore to remain in the hands of the
lord and the Reeve. ? He is advised of the issue.

And that John Twig diverted out of its course,
a common spring lying in Putneth at the end of his
grove, where it is accustomed and ought to run into
the grove, and so by the garden of the same John, and
so into the common gutter of that town, and made
it run into a great pond, called the Gravel-pond, and
that being filled into another pond in his court, and
that being filled into another stream outside his court,
and so, on account of the filling of those ponds, scarcely
any water in summer time comes from that spring into
the common gutter of the town, to the prejudice and
to the great danger of the town, which might happen
for want of water.

Wymbildon.—And also the twelve present that the
same John Twigg, by John Bocher his farmer, one
close called the Pightell, and by William Benet one
close lying near to the Heth in a field called * *

holds all the closes aforesaid, when from the time
in which the memory of man runs not to the con-
trary all the tenants of Putney aforesaid had and
ought to have common for all beasts there, between
the feast of Michael the Archangel and the feast of the
Purification of the blessed Mary, on account of which
enclosure they are unable to take and have that
common, &c., there. Therefore it was commanded

Wodcok, clerk; John Veisy, Clemencia, late wife of
Stephen Hacch, widow, and Richard Bonham, for divers
lands and woods in a certain place called the Wastland,
otherwise called the Wildland, in Wimbledon aforesaid,
belonging from ancient time to divers virgats of land
there, and which from ancient time were arable lands,
and during many years the said lands are overgrown
and choked with brambles, thorns, briers, and ? weeds.
Thus for a great time they lay wild and uncultivated,
by which no one of them knows or acknowledges his
severalty there, nor of a certainty where the lands he
which ought to belong to him, and could receive small
profit there, and notwithstanding must pay rent there-
upon to the lady, &c.; and the same Thomas Halle and
all the others aforenamed have agreed to separate and
acknowledge between them the lands and wood afore-
said lying there, by the assent and precept of the lord
and of his counsel, in manner and form following ; viz.,
that the tenant of every virgat of land there, and those
tenants who lately took out of the hands of the lord
parcels of the wardlands there (except those tenants
who holds their virgats inclosed), shall have, and each
of them shall have, by measure in manner and form
following ; viz., in the wood there which now is
separate, beginning from the royal road there leading
from Wymbledon, called Puppelewey, to Kingston, as
far as the further part, which is now divided for those
tenants who say they are free tenants and for wood
for two virgats of land in the hands of William Jakson,
held by copy [of Court Roll] to him and his heirs, it
is divided, by the assent and agreement aforesaid, into
three parts; viz., one part for those tenants who hold
virgats of land by copy to them and their heirs, begin-
ning at the Royal way aforesaid, going eastward,
except two virgats of land held by copy, which the
said Jakson holds, and his part lies among the free
tenures. And another second part is divided for

EXTRACTS

FROM MANUSCRIPTS IN LORD SPENCER’S POSSESSION,
SOME OF THEM PURPORTING TO BE

CUSTUMALS

OF THE

MANOR OF WIMBLEDON.

II. I
INTRODUCTION. 63

SOME INTRODUCTORY REMARKS UPON
THE MSS. IN LORD SPENCER’S POSSES-
SION PURPORTING TO BE CUSTUMALS
OF THE LORDSHIP OF WIMBLEDON.

These custumals would appear to be four distinct
compilations. They are contained in two books,
viz. :—

The one which begins with the English customary,
which is undoubtedly in the earliest handwriting, was
perhaps copied about the reign of Queen Elizabeth.
It is numbered 2 in'a modern hand.

The other was most likely written not earlier than
the reign of Charles I. or Charles IJ. It is num-
bered 1.

1. Ofthe English Customary (here printed, pp. 65-71)
there are three copies They are entered at fol. 1 to 2 b,
and fol. 25 to 25 b of book No. 2, and at fol. 22 to
24 b of book 1. The copy last mentioned has three
additional entries at the end, one of which is, however,
marked out and has the word vacat written against it.
The other two entries are given in the foot-note at
p- 66. The copy entered at folio 25 of book No. 2
does not contain the entry which forms the last in
the copy entered on folio 1.

In the following pages this Customary is printed
from the copy entered at fol. 1 to 2 b of the book
marked 2, and the variations of the later copy, entered
at fol. 22 to 24 b of the book marked 1, are shown in
the foot-notes.
64 INTRODUCTION.

Il. Of the one called the Hen. VII. Custumal
(here printed, pp. 72—84) two copies, viz. at fol. 7,
book 2, and fol. 27 of book 1.

III. Of the one (here printed, pp. 86—96) which
would appear from its heading to have been entered
on the Court Roll of 8 Hen. VI., but which must
have been compiled as late or later than Hen. VIII,
from the authorities mentioned, which come down
to 24 Hen. VIII., there are two copies, viz. at fol. 3 of
book marked No. 2, and f. 25 of book marked No. 1.

IV. Of the fourth, that headed,—‘* Consuetudines
de Wimbledon” (pp. 98—110),—two copies, viz. at
fol. 5 to 6 b of book 2, and fol. 19 to 21 b of book 1;

undated.
This has been called the M H custumnal.

So far as they have been examined, the copies agree
with each other in the main. Where alterations have
been noticed, memoranda have been made of them,
the copies in book 2 being taken as the standard
copies.

In addition to the Customaries is entered at fol. 37
(but marked 33) in book No. 2, “A note of certain
customs,’ &c., which has been printed at length
(pp. 182—146). It is fuller than similar notes at
fol. 18 of book No. 1, from which only extracts printed
pp. 153—155 have been made, as there appears to be
little in them deserving attention.

II.—THE HENRY VII. CUSTUMAL.

Wymbyldon Customary Whereas in the xiiij™ year
[tenants] there as fel. of king Henry the seventh
lows. [1498 or 1499] divers

variances and _ discords
were stirred up and arose between the customary
tenants of this lordship or manor of and upon divers
articles concerning the ancient customs of the same
manor :

And by reason of the imperfect knowledge of the
same, the same custom was many times unjustly used
and changed. And whereas divers and very many of
the aforesaid customary tenants of divers virgats of
land by many and several surrenders separated those
virgats of land and so much disjointed them, and on
account of the defect of good culture have permitted
trees, thorns, and bushes to grow over certain lands
formerly arable, which same lands for that reason
now are called Wyldlond, so that the like tenants
totally lost the true and perfect knowledge of the pro-
perty of the same lands belonging to each according
to the custom of this manor, insomuch that they
occupied those lands called Wyldlonds, as well as
the common, and they are not able to take and have
the profit and fruit of that ground, so that the rent and
service due from thence to the lord from ancient time
have been, by reason aforesaid, for a long time past
in decay and unjustly withheld, to the great preju-
dice both of the Lord and of his Church of Canterbury,
as of his tenants aforesaid.

Now at this court for the obtaming good and
reasonable reformation of the premises the books of
old rentals, customaries, and Court Rolls being dili-
gently examined and inspected, after mature delibera-
tion it is considered that the custom or custumal of

this manor, as well by the assent of the Lord and of
his tenants aforesaid as by the authority of this court
established ; and it is written in certain articles noted
and returned, that, as well all the aforesaid lands so
separate and in form aforesaid dismembered, together
with the aforesaid lands now called Wyldlonds, as all
other virgats of customary lands, and every parcel
of like virgats shall be united and combined anew
to the whole [virgats] of land in the tenures of divers
superior or chief tenants and undersetters or inferior
tenants, [as| more particularly appear, in divers rolls
of the court, in manner and form following.....
so that the same custom for the like tenants might
be better and more perfectly known and observed,
and that the Lord shall the better be able to have and
take the rent and service for the same virgats of land
according to ancient custom of this manor owing, and
every tenant of the aforesaid lands may know and quietly
occupy and appropriate the lands according to the cus-
tom belonging to him under [the following] form.

In the first place it was settled and established by
the aforesaid authority that every whole virgat of land
contained in itself xv acres of land, as it has been
accustomed from ancient time, and that every tenant
shall have for himself, for an assigned portion in the
meadows for each virgat of land, such parcel of
meadow as shall be assigned or allotted according to
a perfect reckoning. And for each virgat of land
every tenant of the same shall have 25 sheep and
5 beasts for the plough feeding on the common
there. And firebote hedgebote of thorn only, as well
in the aforesaid virgat as in the aforesaid common.
Yet it shall not be lawful to any the like tenant to
cut down by the ground or fell any oaks, elms, beeches,
or ash trees growing on the aforesaid common, except
only for cartbote and ploughbote, and this by the
assignment of the servants of the lord. But for fire-
bote and hedgebote each aforesaid tenant may freely
cut or fell the like trees or branches of trees above

And that at the general court next after the feast of
St. Michael yearly to be held, all the customary tenants
of virgats of land ought to elect and nominate three
superior tenants, of whom each shall have two virgats
of land at the least, as well in their own hands as
in the hands of any other undersetter tenant, for
exercising the office of reve; and three other tenants,
of whom each shall have one virgat of land, for
exercising in the like form the office of beadle. And
upon the like election and nomination the steward,
with other of the counsel of the lord, on the part of
the lord, shall elect one of those three tenants of two
virgats to exercise the office of reve; and one other

of those three tenants of one virgat of land to exercise
the office of beadle.

And that no customary tenant is allowed hereafter
to surrender any customary lands except in a full
court. Yet ifit shall happen that any such tenant be
weak or sick, so that the same tenant for the same
cause, or for any other reasonable cause, cannot come
to the court to be examined and admitted by the
steward, that then the same tenant can surrender
out of the court by the hands of the steward, or in
the presence of two customary suitors by the hands
of the reve or beadle. And that that surrender so
made out of the court shall be admitted, so that the
same surrender be presented in the court next
following.

And that the surrender of any woman in wedlock,
or being under the power of her husband, shall be
admitted in no wise, except the same woman there-

CALLED BY EARL SPENCER THE M H
CUSTUMAL.

CUSTOMS OF WIMBLEDON.

Forasmuch as the human mind is not able to
remember everything (because, if it were able, tran-
scribing would be but a waste of labour), and because
writing frequently and properly brings back things
to the memory (and by the weakness of the mind
very often things fall away and become uncertain),
I will compile those things on account of the customs
of Wymbledon so far used and lawfully obtained, by
the assistance of writing, for perpetual remembrance,
in this work. In the first place, at one time lands
and tenements, when granted by the copy of the
court of the manor of Wymbildon in remote times,
were leased, and still are to be held from the Lord
by the rod, and by the customs and services there-
upon due and accustomed, or by certain service for
all other services and customs yearly to be rendered,
and not by those terms at the will of the Lord.

Thereupon, they who hold

Of those who may, and) the like lands and tene-
of those who may sot ments to them and their
make waste, &c. heirs, can make waste in

and upon the same, accord-
ing to the custom of the Manor, without any impeach-
ment or disquiet (but those who have a lesser estate
than in fee ought not, nor have been accustomed, to
make any waste).

of that tenant, the lord, at his own costs, shall appoint
the officer for the following year, and another shall
thenceforth inherit at the will [of the lord].

It is said that no one ought to be elected to the
office of Reve holding less than two virgats of land.
No free tenant, for his free tenements, ought to be
elected within the said manor. Yet the Master of the
Hospital of St. Thomas the Martyr, in Southwarke,
and the Lord of Burstow, who [were] among others
free tenants, lately performed those offices.

by cyrograph [or deed] in the court of the lord thereon

Also such heir, at his first entry, shall double his

Also he who is not a tenant ought not to have en-
trance in any the like land or tenement before he shall
pay a fine in the court for the same to the lord; and
when he shall be admitted tenant by the steward, and
shall do fealty, he shall not give another fine for any
lands or tenements.

Also every virgat of land consists of one messuage
or toft built upon, and xv acres of land and meadow.

And there are likewise tenures called in Wymbledon
Cotmanes, and in Mortlake Shiplonds, each of which

land.

There are likewise, in the aforesaid manor, other
tenures called Cottages, which consist only of one
messuage with garden or land.

Also, if any is tenant of a virgat of land, or of a Cot-
land, or Shiplond, or Cottage, and therefrom shall alien-
ate a parcel, either more or less, he to whom it shall be
alienated by copy [of Court Roll] shall render to the
grantor, or to him who holds a whole virgat of land
from the Lord, for each acre 4", ascending and descend-
ing according to that proportion.

And the tenant of a virgat of land shall render the
whole rent, and perform the other customs and ser-
vices to the Lord. And he who is tenant of a parcel
shall do fealty to the lord, and being present at
court shall swear with others [to act] for the Lord
in inquisitions and other things to be done.

And if a tenant of a whole virgat of land for any
reason shall forfeit his land to the Lord, that tenant
shall render rent to the lord for his parcel, and the
forfeiture of it shall not harm him.

Also certain Archbishops had, and were accustomed
to have, on their first. coming (although with com-
plaining of their tenants), a certain gift from the
tenants of the said manor of a whole virgat of land
(held by the service of performing the office of reve
and beadle) called Sadlesilver, to wit ten marks, yet
this is not done, because the tenants assert that it was
in a sinister way at first.

Also the Lord has, and ought and is accustomed
to have, a view of franc pledge once every year
after Haster, with all things belonging to the view of
frankpledge, and likewise certain fines called head-
silver. Also all the lands and tenements held by copy
for the non-payment of rent, or because they perform
not the offices of reve or beadle are seized into the
hands of the Lord. The lord has to lease them by his

steward to others, and to totally disinherit the former
tenants and their heirs. Yet it has always been the
custom that the like lands and tenements remain
seized into the hands of the Lord, whatever be the
title, when the tenant of the Lord shall die seized by
the copy [of Court Roll], and this shall be made ap-
parent in court by inquisition, and who is his next
heir, although the same heir shall not present himself
for a long time in court.

And the lands and tenements thus held in the
meantime may remain in the hands of the Lord for the
non claim of the heir, or if by chance the steward
should lease them, he may do it by copy of court,
saving the right of each.

Also when the heir shall come to the court, and
shall show to the court the said inquisition, the court,
at the instance of the petitioner, shall adjudge a cer-
tain precept, to warn the tenant thereof to be at the
next court, to shew why the same petitioner ought
not to have seisin of his lands and tenements.

At which court, if the tenant should not come nor
should send an essoin, the lands shall be adjudged to
the petitioner. And if he should come, and should
say anything why the petitioner ought not to have
seisin, the plea therof between them goes on to the
end of the suit.

If any tenant seized by copy should die, and this
should appear by inquisition at the court, the steward
has himself publicly to proclaim it in three different
courts, [that] if any one be heir, he may come to
make his claim.

And if he should not come to the third court, the
steward may let them [%.e. the lands] to another,
always saving the right of each; yet certain persons
say in that case the heir is disinherited for not coming
to the third [proclamation]. And it may be well
that the steward may otherwise make a proclamation
just as many times in court.

such lands and tenements in the said court, in whatso-
ever action real there should be such process, accord-
ing to the custom of the manor, it is held that the
tenant should be summoned a first, second, and third
[time], and after the third summons the tenant should
be attached, and after the third attachment the tenant
is able to essoin himself thrice, to wit, in the three
courts next.

And if then he should make default, then the same
terfant shall be distrained once, twice, and thrice; and
if then the tenant should be in default, the petitioner
shall recover his demand by the default; and if then,
or before, the first tenant appeared, he might plead
that he put himself upon his country, versus jwra-
mentum, venire fac, habeas corpus, et distringes ; but in
a plea of dower the said process against the tenant
would not be allowed. But the process in common
law is to be used.

Also concerning the salmon captured at Mortlake,
the Lord shall have for every drag net of the tenants
there one salmon, namely, the third salmon before
Easter, or a salmon after Haster, called customary
salmon.

Also all lands and tenements held by copy of court-
roll there to be surrendered into the hands of the Lord
in the full court before the steward or the Reve of the
manor and other tenants, or before two tenants out of
the court, for the use of another; and this has been
accustomed to be recorded by them in the court.

And every tenant of a whole virgat of land shall
give after his death for one virgat in the name of
heriot x* and so of relief. And his heir shall give a
relief, namely, the old rent to be doubled, {but] not
to double the reserved rent, to the Lord for his works ;
and he who has less shall give nothing when he dies.
A single cottager holding one cotland, when he dies, —
shall give to the Lord one ewe or vi".

DESCRIPTION OF THE BOOK IN WHICH
THE TERRIERS ARE ENTERED.

This is a book in a parchment cover, containing
various fasciculi bound together, without any general
title, probably prepared about the end of the reign of
Queen Elizabeth.* It contains :—

(1.) A note out of the patent of the lands granted
to Christopher Hatton, Esq., and his heirs.

(2.) A valuation of the manor of Wimbledon, parcel
of the possessions of the late Archbishop of Canter-
bury, and afterwards of Thomas Cromwell, late Earl
of Essex, attainted. The original was signed as ex-
amined by Jo. Thomson, auditor, 20 Feb. 1587,

(3.) Apparently notes made from a roll of the
Treasurer's Remembrancer in the Exchequer, 18
Eliz., and various other notes; amongst which an
extract from a Court Roll 42 Eliz., being copy of a
disclaimer of waste, signed Tho. Burghley, addressed
to his steward ; also the note hereafter extracted from
f. 3b.

(4.) The copy of rentals hereafter extracted (f. 4).

(5.) The copy of letters pat. 25 Hen. VIII,
being an Inspeximus of various charters in favour of
the Archbishop of Canterbury (f. 5—15).

* It appears to have been collected at this time, from the following
circumstances :——At the end of the Terrier of Rowhampton there is
mention that it was taken from Mr. Dodmer’s book. He was, most
likely, the John Dodmore, Gent., who was one of the homage referred
to in the Eatracts from Court Rolls (Part I. p. 139). There is also
mention of Mr. Jo. Whitbrooke, whose era was the end of the reign
of Elizabeth (see ib. p. 171). With this also agree some notes at
the end of the book, made by John Lacy in 1593.
160 ‘ TERRIERS.

(6.) The Terrier of Rokehampton (ff. 16—20).

At the end of this is :—

“This surveie as it shoulde seeme was made anno
13 Regis Henr. septimi for theise word€ v3 a°
13 Regis Henr. septimi were written in the toppe of
the leafe upon the laste 1 sides of the booke of
survey owte of the w™ this was copied w was M*
Dodmers boke.”’

(7.) The Terrier of Putteneth, as printed at p. 166,
there can be little doubt, was originally drawn out
about the same time as that for Roehampton. The
names occurring in it have only to be compared
with those in the Extracts from Court Rolls, Part I.
p- 69, to make this manifest. The names in the
margin were probably the holders when the copy was
made. Itis copied in the same hand as that which
precedes, and the names in the margin are also in the
same hand, which is, as before stated, probably of the
latter part of the reign of Elizabeth,

(8.) Then follows what is extracted from f. 26 b,
viz. :—

“The lotts in Westmeade belongyng to Roke-
hampton taken the 10 of July 1582.”

(9.) “A terro™ declaryng as well evy mans lande
as it did lie in the comon feld€ of Rokehampton”
(f. 27).

(10.) “The Rate taxed of the farts t inhabytant€ of
Wymbledon for the xv granted a® 25 E. Regine % a°
1584.” (f. 30); also for 1586.

(11.) Various notes or memoranda, some of which
are hereafter extracted (f. 30 b).

Here this fasciculus ends.

(12.) Then a fasciculus entitled :—‘ Welbecks copi-
holde lande in Rokehampton.”

(13.) The fasciculus containing a terrier of the
town of Putteneth, anno xiij? Regis Henric. VII., as
appears by the last page but one, It seems to have
been compiled to show what interest the Welbecks
were possessed of ; for in every case where the names
7 TERRIERS. 161

of W. Welbecke and R. Welbecke occur they are written
ina larger hand. This would appear to be in a some-
what earlier hand than the Terrier of Putney hereafter
printed.

There are some notes at the end of this Terrier
apparently made in A.D. 1593 by John Lacy. Vide
in particular the following :—

More lyinge at Baynards barne nowe cawled Prist¢
bridge x acres enclosed nowe worth to be lett in a’
1593 v* the acre—Some 18. More lyinge in Weste
mede j aker granted to the farmer w™ holdeth my iiij
