This volume of Obedientiary Rolls is the chief publication of the Hampshire Record Society for 1892 ; and the members will be pleased to see that it is issued within the current year. The slender income of the Society is not sufficient to give the subscribers two volumes every year ; and as two books have been issued for 1891, and it is hoped that two will appear in 1893, the Council are obliged thus to husband their resources for 1S92. I believe that no collection of Obedientiary Rolls has heretofore been printed. There is a very fine collection of such Rolls in Norwich Cathedral, well cared for by their learned and judicious custodian, Dr. Bensley. The Norwich Rolls are often strong where ours are weak ; and it is much to be hoped that they will some day be printed, and be both preserved from the many risks which lie in wait for ancient documents, and also made accessible to the student of Church History. Though in the MSS. here laid before the Society there are many unhappy blanks and not a little wearisome redundancy, still I cannot but hope that they will be found to be really interesting ; for they certainly bring vividly before us some of the characteristics of the medieval life in community. It is disappointing to learn so little from them respecting the Conventual buildings ; so little respecting the changes made from time to time in the fabric of our huge Cathedral Church. One would have liked, too, to see more of our monks in their dealings with the world around them, For nowhere did spiritual persons have such temporal opportunities, Here were Preface. kings and their courts, and all the machinery of medieval government ; here were great Prince-Bishops, magnificent personages, to whom St. Swithun's Monastery was the home and centre of work; here were merchants, church men, diplomatists, passing through on their way to and from the continental centres of life, Paris, Rome, and the seat of Empire ; here were shoals of pilgrims of every estate, on their way from foreign parts, or from the West of England, to St. Thomas' shrine of Canterbury ; and yet these Rolls only at rare points touch on any of these things. The bustle and bravery of life rolled on through St. Swithun's gates, and the good monks calmly took it as it came, deeming their own administrative work of far greater interest than the picturesque turmoil of the world without. Just so, when revolution has been shaking society to its bases, the well -trained domestics of a court have been known serenely to ply their daily tasks, en grossed in beef or bonnets, while the very roof that sheltered them was tottering to its fall. In these Rolls we find no notice of the political changes which England underwent during the two centuries which they cover ; there is only one slight reference to the Hundred Years' War, and no allusion to the English Civil wars; neither the excitement over the Lollards, nor the social troubles of the fourteenth century, finds any reflexion here. We do not even note a single fact to indicate that those within our walls took any interest in the spiritual welfare of those without. This said, there still remains much that is really in structive. We can trace the daily life point by point. The Diet Rolls give us the monk's food and sustenance ; the Receivers' Rolls tell us of , his clothing, his sources of supply, his money difficulties, his relations with Lombard and other usurers ; the Corrodics explain how he tried to Preface. "realise" capital by charging his successors with annuities, an aggravating form of debt. St. Swithun's did in the end clear itself from these painful liabilities ; for the Monastery had wealthy members, and they (like Prior Alexander of Ilcriard, who pa'ld off the heavy debt ori the Hordarian's office) from time to time helped the House from sinking deeper towards insolvency ; and, as time went on, and the number of monks within the walls dropped to thirty or thirty-five, the produce of the estates, which were very large and not unproductive, more than sufficed for the yearly outgoings. And thus, when the sixteenth century came, St. Swithun's had a fine rent-roll, and, apparently, no encumbrances. The main interest of our Rolls lies in the varied details they present ; perhaps not least in the linguistic and philological difficulties, which appear from time to time on the face of Latin documents written by men who thought in English, and who did not hesitate to use English or French terms when Latin ones were not ready to hand. In this part of my task I have had the invaluable help of the Rev. A. L. Mayhew, M.A., of Oxford, who has saved me often from the perilous paths of guess-work, and has, without stint, given me the advantage of his great erudition. One who is removed from all chance of pro secuting philological enquiry cannot be too thankful for such kindness as I have thus received from a man who is at the headquarters of that fascinating branch of human study. In a work so full of details there must be many errors and many short-comings. Some of my MSS. arc in so bad a state that the text will remain, in places, for ever uncertain ; and where the text is clear, the allusions to persons, to habits, to law-usages, to food and raiment. to buildings, in fact, to everything which goes to make xu Preface. up life, provide so many traps for the unwary. Wherein, when I have been caught, I would pray the wiser critics, who stand safe, to be not scornful but pitiful. Here and there are discrepancies between notes and Glossary — where these collide the wrong is mine, the right is Mr. Mayhew's ; sometimes, as I have gone on, I have discovered the way out of my own ignorance, too late to correct the printed word in the text. Thus, on n. 256, I say that I cannot explain the word frcs/iynges, v hereas in the Glossary, thanks to Du Cange's Friscinga, I have been able to give the true meaning of it. I comfort myself with thinking that no book is worth any thing unless the writer goes on learning with an open mind down to the very end of it, and unless he is willing 10 recognise and confess his errors, I will therefore take this opportunity of noticing a mistake in the Introduction (which had to be printed and cleared off before the Lolls themselves were in type).' On p. 56 I have written William Frost," Brother William," whereas (as may be seen from the document printed on p, 215) his name was Walter ; William Frost, for there was a man of that name in Winchester at the time, was a layman. Yet one more confession, and I have done. It will be noticed that there are seven Appendices at the close of the Introduction, and one Appendix, containing the names of monks of St. Swithun's and the date of their ordinations, at the end of the Rolls. This irregularity is clue to the fact that this eighth Appendix was unluckily mislaid, and was only found by me just in time to be inserted where it stands, I thought it better to acknow ledge the carelessness and secure the record, than to save myself by suppressing it altogether. My readers will, I think, be very glad to see Appendix VII, which I owe to the generosity of Miss Mary Batcson Preface. xm of Cambridge. It is a very valuable addition to our volume, as it throws much light on an important side of the Monastic life which is very little noticed in our MSS. —the Rule of the daily Church Services in an English Benedictine House. Let me tender my best thanks to Miss Bateson for this interesting document. Her accurate and scholarly work is, in truth, too good to be treated as a mere Appendix. With the exception of this " Concordia Regularis," I am responsible for the text of all the documents. I have copied the MSS. myself, and have also carefully collated them with the printed text. It is, perhaps, hardly needful for me to remind students that medieval Latin is often queerly spelt, and that proper names vary much, even in the same document ; this may often be seen in the list of Ordinations on pp. 472 — 480. Lastly, I owe much to kind help and information received from Dr. Wolsclcy Emerton, of Banwcll Castle, whose great erudition more than once has stood me in good stead ; from the Rev. A. VV. Milroy, of West Cowes, who helped me with my legal personages and other matters ; to T. F. Kirby, Esq., m.a., Bursar of Winchester College, for assistance in making my plans, towards which his accurate topographical knowledge, most readily im parted, has been most helpful to me ; to J. H. Clark, Esq., M.A., the Registrar of the University of Cambridge, who subjected the Introduction to very judicious and most kindly criticism, and saved me from more than one blunder; and lastly, to my old colleague and life-long friend, the Rev. T. Verc Bayne, M.A., Keeper of the Archives, Oxford, whose unerring eye and accurate scholarship have saved the book from many a disfigurinp misprint and error. I think the best part of writing a book is the kindness XIV Preface. and sympathy it elicits from one's friends ; and perhaps the next best part is the frank criticism with which one meets. It is the fashion to gird at criticism — I have always found it, like other tonics, bitter to the mouth sometimes, yet in the end strengthening and wholesome, Yet one word more. My Rolls have enabled me to study many aspects of the life of those who, centuries tgo, dedicated themselves, in ways not altogether ours, to the quiet service of the Lord Christ. I trust that in trying to pourlray the Monastic life, I shall not be found to have said anything unkind or offensive to the feelings of any one, whatever his views may be, who may see these pages. My sole desire is truth ; and ma}' it ever be truth in charity. Deanery, Winchester, 23rd August, 1892. INTRODUCTION. ? SOUTH EAST QUARTER or WINCHESTER before A.D- V)&). Introduction. shelter within the College walls, and have been so well kept there that they have never returned to the Cathedral Library ; the College was somewhat inclined towards the Puritan side, and was able, in more ways than one, to soften the blow that fell in those days on Church and City. Other MSS. were given or sold to wealthy persons, or to great libraries; there are some delightful Winchester Codices in the Bodleian, which can be shewn to have been placed on the shelves there about the years 1643 to 1646; the Duke of Devonshire now owns our greatest treasure, the magnificent Bencdictionary of -St. Avthelwold ; and many can no doubt be traced to other resting places. The Rolls, on the other hand, being probably regarded as valueless and undecipherable, were carried away by the citizens, and turned to any base uses in the shops and houses of the tradesfolk of Winchester. It seems not un like!)- that, either at this time or at the Reformation, the domestic or " Obedientiary " Rolls, which give minute details as to the administration of the Convent, were to a great extent intentionally destroyed ; for they have perished in far larger proportion than have either Court Rolls or Compotus Rolls. It is obvious that the new owners would have hesitated to destroy what might prove to be their only title-deeds to their estates, and the proof that their predecessors the monks had exercised lordship over these lands ; whereas no such personal interest prompted them to save the Obedientiary Rolls, which may even have been purposely got rid of, as being inconvenient reminders of the ancient owners and their ways of administering the property. Be tin's as it may, it is the fact that, with the exception of the Almoners' and Hordarians' Rolls, the list of officers'' accounts is lamentably small and deficient What would we not now give to have a fairly complete series of the " Custos Operum" accounts, with their details as to the construction and repairs carried on in the Monastic buildings and the Cathedral Church ? And yet of this series only two examples, one of them a very late one, have come down to us. The most interesting Introduction. document in the whole scries is that of the Receiver of the Prior's Treasury for 1334-5 ', "Il(-' yet of Receivers' Rolls we possess but two : and so on with others ; while no specimens whatever of the accounts of other Obedien tiaries (sujiposing, as is probable, that they also were called on to submit yearly statements to the auditors) have been preserved. Still, although they are so few, no similar collection is known to exist elsewhere, and we may well rejoice that wc possess so many, rather than grieve over those which are lost. John Chase, who was Chapter Clerk at the time of the Great Rebellion, and who, unhappily, died just before the Restoration, did all that lay in his power to protect the treasures of our Library. He has left to us, in his crabbed and difficult handwriting, an account of his vigilant and intelligent efforts ; we learn that by persuasion or purchase he recovered many of the most valuable MSS., some from the hands of tradespeople of the city, some even from the filth and clamp of the gutter ; they still bear marks of the wet and dirt out of which they were then rescued : some have an endorsement in Chase's hand, giving date and manner of their restoration. From his day to the present century there is little trace of an interest in these matters, the documents being left to take care of themselves. It was not till about thirty years ago that Mr. Allchin (whose Index to the Winchester Episcopal Registers is well known) was engaged by the Dean and Chapter to arrange and summarise their Deeds, and to make a complete local and nominal Index to them. He unfortunately pasted these valuable documents into three large folio volumes, usin"- a wet unwholesome paste, which has seriously damaged the MSS., rendering them in some cases altogether illegible. A little later, the Canon in Residence, smitten with an alarming desire to "clean up," actually gave orders that the Rolls—" useless rubbish," he called them— should be thrown into the fire : he was with difficulty restrained from this vandalism by Mr. Baigent's prudent and timely remonstrances. So they were roughly made up into 13 2 Introduction. Introduction. S bundles, wrapped round with old newspapers, and thrust away wherever they might be most out of sight,— some in cupboards, some in drawers, some hidden behind the books on the Library shelves. So they remained, until about fifteen years ago. Dean Bramston, who saw how valuable and interesting they were, then began to have them num bered and arranged ; and this work has since been carried on somewhat further than he was able to advance it. The Rolls are now classified roughly under the following heads : — (1) Obedientiary Rolls, in number' ... ... 64 (2) Court Rolls (avranyed under the respective Manors) ... " 840 (3) Compotu? Polls (also arranged under the different Manors or Farms), about ... 600 (4) Sundries, containing a few Pipe Lolls, and the '' CiiKtitma do Pefecrorio S. Switlmni TVmton " etc., amoimtinpr to about So making about 10 1014 The catalogue of this large collection is begun, though as yet it has not advanced very far : it was in making out the list of the first division, the Obedientiary Rolls, that I saw how much light the documents would throw on the internal life and administration of a great convent. At fust I proposed to offer to the Hampshire Record Society only a specimen of each kind of account, thinking that there would be too much repetition and monotony if the whole scries were printed in full. As, however, an opinion was expressed at the Society's 1890 Meeting in favour of the publication - of all these Rolls, I have now transcribed the series, arid1 see clearly'1 that T was 'wrong in wishing to print only a selection. The numerous Almoners' Accounts will perhaps appear to contain too great sameness ; yet they all shew variations of interest and little special pieces of information, which the antiquarian may be glad to possess. The inner life of a monastery, and even the most minute details of its administration,- — how it was governed, and what manner of life men led within the walls; the relation of these powerful corporate bodies to the civil state ; the bearing of their work on the economic, the literary, and the religious movements of past ages ; rill these things are full of instruction, and are sometimes vividly illustrated by these interesting accounts. There are no doubt, as at Norwich, many more Obedientiary Rolls in existence; though diligent search at the Record Office has not brought any to light there : I am inclined to think that this volume is the first printed record of this interesting class of Rolls. It is not easy to be perfectly fair and just towards the Monastic Orders. From excess of abuse, from slander and scandal, from the delight in unwholesome tales, and from the dislike for those whose theory of life in many ways condemns our own, the fashion has completely gone round to equally injudicious and dishonest praise. The tendencies of human nature are forgotten, and the damaging facts of history conveniently set aside. Men now look up with enthusiasm to the ideal of the life in community : or, jaded by the ceaseless bustle of our daily existence, yearn for some still shelter, where the roll and clamour of the busy street is unheard, where there is plentiful time for prayer and none of our modern forgctfulncss of praise : they dream of a delightful freedom from competition, and a restful abiding within prescribed limits, in a home in which art is conventional, and learning severely traditional, where rnorality is fenced about with ascetic safe -guards, and the mind can take repose in the unquestioning paradise of an Age of Faith. The beneficent influence of the Benedictines on the slow and painful development of Europe is now fairly under stood and appreciated. Yet it is right to say that neither arc the weak sides of these great institutions exactly what they have been described to be, nor are their excellences altogether as imagination may have painted them. The Benedictine Houses, whatever else they were, certainly were the sacred and sheltered spots in which the laws of civilised life, were first obeyed, and order and self-control II i *: Introduction. Introduction. 7 preached in the ears of' the ignorant and savage world of the West. In their earlier time the monks taught Europe to practise agriculture, not to despise it ; for with their own hands they set the example ; they girt up their loins, and built- the best houses that hail ever been seen in the north of Europe; they transformed the hunter's woodland wilderness into smiling and fruitful fields ; they made it possible for men to have food enough in equable supply, without recourse to the trap and net, or archer's skill : in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries they led the van in arts and liberal studies ; to the skill of their scribes, and the arts of their '• scriptoria," we owe the reproduction of the literary treasures which connect us with our brethren of the distant past ; their walls, and the sanctity of their Churches and communities, protected and preserved the noblest efforts of the human mind, and kept alive the fir of intellectual life through ages which were as dark as the)' have been called. As time went on the Benedictines developed also a skill and taste for the more practical business of life. They were always (as a matter of comparison) counted to be good landlords, who did not exact an intolerable tribute in rent or produce from those who tilled their farms. As their Houses were great places of resort, visited by travellers from far countries as well as by princes and prelates, merchants and pilgrims, they learnt how to deal in foreign commodities of every kind, and were in a way forerunners of modern commerce. The well-known House of St. Swithun at Winchester, thanks to these causes, and specially to the influence of the Fair on St. Giles' I fill, appears to have acquired consider able aptitude for shop-keeping. In the fourteenth century, with the exception of booths of 'stalls ill the main street, retail trade was little practised. The monks however soon learnt how to deal in wines and stuffs, as well as in spices and grocery ; they had more than one established shop in the Fair, and in this way contributed not a little to the creation of the vast commerce of our country, Perhaps, however, their influence on the world around A them can be best seen and felt in the organization of their home life. There were then few well-ordered com munities ; administrative completeness, such as reigned within the convent walls, was not to be found elsewhere ; in no other place do we meet with so exact a subdivision of labour, so placid a sequence of routine. The king's court was, in comparison, but slightly organized ; it moved from place to place, and lost the advantage of a seated unchanging way of life ; the feudal lord, who was in some ways the nearest parallel, lived careless and profuse, and his castle was a scene of rough ill-ordered plenty, secured by no very scrupulous means ; the civic communities had as yet comparatively little of the common life, and administered few estates. On the other hand, the strong organization of the Religious Houses, the subdivision of responsibility, the custom of demanding and carefully auditing the yearly accounts of the officers, and the regularity of business habits, combined to make the monasteries patterns after which a better order slowly came into being. They were feudal lords, free from the drawback of having to attend their king to the wars, nor need they take part in the fighting which absorbed and destroyed the well-being of the lay world : within their walls peace reigned, from their stately churches ever rose the sound of prayer and praise, their gates were open to the pilgrim and the traveller, hospitality and brotherly kindness softened in many ways the harsh incidence of feudal custom. We do not know at what date the Benedictines first ¦ settled in Winchester on the site of the ruined Roman city. The large donation of lands for the building of the Church there, attributed to Kinegils and Kenwalh, seems to indicate that at the earliest period of the acceptance of Christianity by the West Saxons an important body of monks must have been established hard by the royal palace, even though Winchester was not as yet the Bishop's seat. Though there is no historic proof of a very early monastery in the capital city, it is hardly likely that when 8 Introduction. Bishop ILeddi transferred the See thither from Dorchester and brought with him the bones of St. Birinus, he came to a spot where the Benedictines were unknown. The Church v,h,ch Kenwalh built was surely served by them • >t stood where the ruined Roman Church had stood in the quarter oi the city dedicated from Roman times to the administration of affairs civil or rel Pious Here the monks had a tolerably safe seat ; with their Church as a material and spiritual bulwark on the north, the royal palace at Wolvcsey on the island just to their south and east, and the city wall to south and west, they were sheltered from the. worst of the ills which could befall them, from the greed and fury of heathen pirates pene trating inwards from Southampton Water. Plere then the young community soon began to bring order and prosperity out of confusion. Over the large breadth of land granted them by the kings they exercised beneficent authority • it is not unlikely that in the outset, in accordance with the motto attributed to the Order, they began to foster diligent and intelligent cultivation, working, it may be at their simple agriculture with their own hands, and quietly Dnngmg things into a state of prosperity. Even in these primitive days their royal and episcopal neighbours added greatly to their dignity and importance ; and when, after a time, the election to the bishopric was entrusted to them them Monastery attained to a position of great honour and consideration. Still, it was not till after the days of St. /Ethelwolcl " muneca ficder," as the English Chronicle styles him, that their position was quite safe ; the struggle for the Cathedral Church between the more .secular, Onions and the Monks is one of the most interesting episodes' in the history of the tenth century. It seems that the Benedictines had been entirely ejected by the Canons, and that they could not be restored except by the importation of a considerable body of monks from Abingdon Abbey. From that time, however, down to the Reformation the Benedictines held undisputed sway over the religion of the 'capital. Introduction. It is not known when the system of "Obedientiaries," or monks told off to fulfil certain duties, and to attend to certain parts of the administration of the convent and its property, received full development : when it meets us in these Rolls, early in the fourteenth century, it is already completely organized, and as it busily carries out its work, it is seen to exercise a wholesome civilising in fluence on all around. The monastery was unlike modern corporations in this, that it presented the spectacle of a group of men living altogether in community, with few or no interests of a private kind. The celibate monk was almost cut off from the outer world. The corporate bodies with which in these days we arc familiar give no such undivided allegiance to their community ; their mem bers have strong ties and interests elsewhere ; they treat their society as a convenience, as a means of advancing private interests or of gratifying some personal ambition, of helping to found a family, or to make the most of the enjoyments of life. In a convent, on the other hand, there was comparatively little property to which any individual could lay claim ; the monk had no family, and few ties beyond the walls ; his energies were spent in providing for the whole community, or in attending to those religious offices which were essential for a society intent on its own salvation. The income of the house was divided among the several necessities of the community: one part supplied the common table in the refectory, another provided the due monastic dress, another sustained the costs of Divine Service or the care of altars, another, the repairs required by the monastic buildings and the needs of the fabric of the Cathedral Church, while the remainder went to defray the outlay on the Scriptorium, the hospitality due to strangers, the supervision of the corporate estates. In all these matters the individual was merged in the community; and while most of the brethren were content to live a tranquil sedentary life, far away from business or activity of any kind, the few more ardent spirits within the walls found scope for their energies and ambition in the cares of one 10 Introduction. Introduction. II or other of the Obedientiary Offices. In this way, with a harmless quietness, passed uneventful days, occupied with out anxieties, free from the responsibilities and risks of thought ; and the even tcnour of the life was only broken when at rare intervals some personage arrived at the gates who demanded a special effort of attention, or the Pilgrims- Hall was opened to let in a soiled and ragged company of the devout, who had come up to worship" in simple faith and hope before St. Swithun's shrine. Once in the year, a moment long foreseen, and long discussed afterwards] came a delightful break in the smooth stream . of life' when at the beginning of September the famous St. Giles' Fair began again, and the Convent's interest and energy migrated to the hill. The Receiver's Roll of 1335 gives us an excellent notion of the variety of interests aroused by the Fair : we see that the Lord Prior went up to the hill in state and took possession of a richly fitted chamber, with new robes for himself and his suite, fresh furniture, and a delightful change in food and hospitality, hard by the booths or stalls at which the Convent kept shop, and sold their wines, their furs and spiceries. Apart from the profits arising from the sale of their wares, the monks received a certain proportion of the toils from the traders, and the rents of booths. And in truth the Convent needed all the help it could get; hardly one of the Offices appears to have been able to keep clear of debt : the expenses of living, the support of services and buildings, and above all the never-ending drain of hospitality, kept the House poor, and sometimes brought it into very serious embarrassments. For St. Swithun's lay in one of the chief highways of England, and kept open house for all corners. Of these guests not a few were nobles or merchants passing from foreign parts towards London ; they had come ishorc at Southampton from Le Havre or Bordeaux, and St. Swithun's was the first hostelry along their road. Others, and these were far more numerous, were the pilgrims toiling onwards, from the south or west, towards their ultimate goal at the shrine of St. Thomas of Canter bury. To these the earlier sanctity of St. Swithun was an attraction and a comfort. The Pilgrims' Hall in which they were lodged, a structure built in the thirteenth or early fourteenth century, still stands on the side of the Mirabel Close ; and the rafters and massive principals of the roof shew clear traces of the smoke which curled up day by day from the fire kindled on the hearth in the middle of the building. Here the pilgrims, with such rough food as charity or the Convent kitchen provided, rested and slept after their weary journey along the line of one or another of the Roman roads which converge on Winchester. Hence they came forth to worship at St. Swithun's shrine, and, it may be, in hopes of cure to spend a night of vigil in the silent Church : finally, they betook themselves to the beautiful arcade of groined work attached to the Prior's Refectory, and there were met by the servants from his kitchen, who distributed to them broken victuals from my Lord's table, and perhaps a few pence from out of the aumbry still visible in the wall. Then, after bidding farewell to the brethren, who were ever hospitable if contemptuous towards them, the wayfarers set their faces towards the east, and became true " Canterbury Pilgrims/" approaching that Mecca of mediaeval English worship not by Chaucer's famous route from Southwark, but by then- own well-marked Pilgrims' Way, through Alton and Farnham, along the Hog's Bade to Guildford, up Boxhill side by Dorking, and so onward through the prosperous Kentish lands towards their goal. St. Swithun's Priory appears always to have enjoyed, and, so far as we can discern, to have merited, an excellent character. The reputation for learning, which it had acquired in earlier days, unfortunately faded away as time went on : but the moral conduct of the body seems to have been consistently high. The monks were drawn from the respectable elements of society, and were made the better too by living in the light of day. Even in times of turmoil and trouble the House tried to take the better side, and resisted the oppressive encroachments of unscrupulous 12 Introduction. kmgs, and still more aggressive bishops. For it was a large and important House, in a prominent and public Place, with the power and peril of the light of electing the bishop of one of the wealthiest and most influential Sees of Chnstendom. And it seems to have desired to exercise its rights in accordance with its conscience. Though the Com cut was large, it does not appear that it ever attained to the ideal and perfect number of seventy brethren, at which all Benedictine Houses were supposed to aim.

On the other hand there does not seem to be in this list any name which connects itself distinctly with the noble families of the time. As to the places whence these monks came, there were apparently only two foreigners among them, Robert of St. Omer and John of Dcnain : there arc twenty whose names give no certain trace ; of the rest (forty-four) twenty- six come from Hampshire or the Isle of Wight, and eight from Wiltshire, in which county the Convent had large estates. Two or three are from other counties ; from London, Salisbury, Newbury, Worcester, Guildford, Canter bury, came one apiece. On the whole, the list is very much as one might have expected it to be, so far as it gives indications of social position and geographical distribution, The roll of monks here printed must almost give the high-water mark of the numbers in the Convent. When the Black Death, which swept across England a quarter of a century later, had passed by, we find our Monastery bereft of half its inhabitants. Our documents often mention the total number (including the Prior and Obedientaries), and the highest figure given is forty-three in 1532-3, the lowest twenty-nine in 1495-6.1 The Convent kept one or two of its brethren as Scholars at Oxford, where there were two Benedictine Colleges, or rather Houses or llostelries, Gloucester College (which when the Benedictines came to an end sank to the status of a Hall in 1541), where the presiding head was always styled Prior, and Durham College. We find no trace of most of them in the University archives : but then these were not kept with any regularity or exactness until after the Reformation period.- The notices of. the Oxford Scholars in our Rolls begin with Williain of Wykeham, in 138 1-2, when there was one, in 13S6-7 there were two, 13S9-90 two, one of 1 The actual figures are e.iven in the Tables subjoined to this Introduction.

U whom was Thomas Nevyle, at the time Almoner, and afterwards Prior (1394— 14 14). He appears to have been admitted D.D. by the University. In 1394-5 there were two at Oxford; also in 1395-6, 1 400-1, 1405-6, 1408-9; and all through the fifteenth century, as a rule, there were two ; towards the end of the century only one ; and after that again usually two, down to the Dissolution. Much has been made of the monastic schools ; and it seems clear that the teaching of the boys and the novices in cloister was regarded commonly as a matter of interest and amusement to the monks. In the Constitution of Lanfranc the brethren are told to listen to the master of the boys as he instructs them. Still, at St. Swithun's, whether they trusted to the School outside the Convent walls, or were accustomed to employ only a few boys to serve at the altars, we know not ; anyhow, the number of " pueri in schola '' was always very small : the highest figure mentioned is eight ; and twice it drops down to none. In 138 1-2 there were three ; in 1389-90, two; in 1401-2, and in 1404-5, five; in 1405-6, four; in 1409-10, five again; in 1432-3, six; in 1469-70, eight (while in this year there were no students at Ox ford) ; in 1471-2 and 14S2-3, three; in 1484-5, none; in 1495-6, four ; in 15 14-5, four, but in 15 16-7 none again; in 1532—3, one only. The record seems to indicate a very small enthusiasm for education on the part of the House. The two brethren at Oxford, qualifying usually for decrees in theology, could only in a secondary way influence the course of education of Winchester ; and we see how very scanty was the talc of boys in the Convent School. The record of the brethren at Oxford, who were fully professed monks, and the numerous entries of leave of absence granted by successive Bishops to the Clergy serving their Churches, and recorded in the episcopal registers, indicate clearly that while on the one hand boys went up to the University younger than they do in our day, there was also among the students a much larger proportion of full-grown men, who entered the University partly for the oppor tunities of study, and partly for the sake of the dignity of ': C J^ Introduction. the degrees granted by the Theological and Law Faculties which often also proved to be the first steps in their prefer ment in Church and State, The study of the Account Rolls printed in this volume will help us to find the reason (more steady in operation than the loss of life and wealth caused by the Black Death) for the permanent reduction of the number of monks within the Convent. The difficulties began lono- before the unhealthy years. In the Record Office, under the 44th of Henry III (a.d. 1260) there is a very significant document, which tells us that in that year Robert de Ln-illa, a protessed monk, was transferred by the Convent to the Monastery at Ramsey, and John de Urvilla to that of St. Peter's, Gloucester, ¦¦ till the Priory of St. Swithun NhouU^bc in a more prosperous state." The oppressive clays of Henry III were very disastrous to the Cathedral Monastery. From that time onward the Rolls present a record of constant difficulties : each officer in turn seems to hnd it impossible to make ends meet: the burden of debt sometimes amounts to several thousand pounds. The monks had very few opportunities of either retrenching on the one hand or of raising their income on the other*: the only- way in which, they could carry on their task was, as we have seen, by diminishing the number of men to be fed and clothed within the walls. Loans, sales of Corrodics, masses for men's souls, the offerings of the faithful at St. Swithun's shrine (of which source of revenue we find no trace in these Rolls), enabled the Convent to make up the deficit caused by the reduced rents and diminished profits arising from estates ; but, after all, there was no margin, and.a roy^-il visit, or disasters like the fire at Hinton Ampncr and the bursting of the sea wall at Blcodon, taxed the resources of the House to the uttermost. And this is why we find sixty-four monbs in 1325, and only from thirty to forty a century later. This fact, which may thus in the main be accounted for, also harmonises with the general change in tendencies visible throughout the fifteenth century, The Ensdish Introduction. mind, from Wicliffc's days onwards, grew more practical and active, and was less inclined towards the quiet shelter and freedom from work enjoyed within the Cloister. For many of the causes which brought about the fall of the monastic houses existed long before the days of Henry VIII, and were utterly unconnected with the character and pro ceedings of that Prince. It ma)' be helpful if we endeavour to reconstruct the plan of the buildings in which this handful of monks thus dwelt in delightful repose. The great Benedictine blouses were all, with slight territorial modifications, built on the .same system ; and the ancient remains at Winchester are sufficient to shew that St. Swithun's was no exception to the rule. The ground plan attached to this page, if com pared with that of Clairvaux, given by Viollct le Due in his Dictionnaire de I' Architecture, vol. i, pp. 266, 267, will shew that, where our buildings fail, it is perfectly safe to conjecture the manner in which the blanks have to be filled in. The black portions of the plan mark the still existing buildings ; light lines shew the parts, now gone, as to which there can be little or no doubt ; and finally, dotted lines indicate the uncertainties. The conventual life had four centres. The Church, its chief glory and care ; where the worship of God was continually held, and where the coming and going, and the time occupied in Service, filled up a large part of the day. For, if a House did as it was instructed in the Constitu tions, the whole of its members repaired eight times in the twenty-four hours to the Cathedral Church for service. There was the service called Nocturnes, taken about mid night, and in Anglo-Saxon styled uht-sciug. ;- then Morning Lauds or Mattins (,/agrediicc iof-saug — " praise-song of the dawn ") : these two services appear often to have been taken together, the monks attending in their night dresses, just as they rose from bed in the Dormitory. Then followed Prime, about six or seven o'clock, after which the day might be said to be begun ; Tierce (third hour) was sung at 9 a.m. and Sext (sixtli hour) at mid-day ; Nones followed c 2 20 Introduction. Introduction. 21 at the ninth hour, 3 p.m. ; Vespers came at eventide, properly at 6 p.m. ; and, lastly, Compline {viht-sang — completorium, the completing or finishing service) closed the da}', about 9 p.m. These hours, however, answer more to the original plan and proper sense of the words than to the usual times at which the services were sung. Two or even more of them were sometimes for convenience run together. Nor docs this list include the numerous masses sung in the Chapels and Chantries. These, however, need not be attended by any save the officiating priest with his acolyte or serving-lad. The masses at which the Convent attended were two in the morning ; that of the Blessed Virgin, which was sung directly after Prime, and the Morning or Chapter Mass, which was taken immediately before the daily meeting of the monks in the Chapter House. For a Chapter was held daily, in which duties were arranged, and cases of delinquency considered and dealt with by the Prior, who presided. The Chapter was followed by Tierce, after which came High Mass. In the intervals the monks sat in the Cloister, where, in the early part of the da)', they were allowed to read or sing, but not to talk. They might amuse themselves, and maybe pick up some trifle of knowledge by listening to the teaching of the boys, which also went on in Cloister. It is wonderful to think of the brethren sitting in winter time in the cold open Cloister ; no wonder the item of furs is a large one in our Rolls. After Sext, came the first meal, the "prandium," or early dinner in the " Frater " or Refectory. Our volume gives us the daily menu of their food, which shewed no lack of plenty or variety. When dinner, taken in silence, was over, the brethren. Till filed out and repaired at once to the Dormitory for their " Meridian," or mid-day siesta. This occupied the time for about two hours, till Nones, After Nones came a slight refreshment, styled the Collation, which consisted simply of a glass of beer, drunk in the Refectory ; no doubt any brother who cared for a bit of bread also could have it. Then back into the Cloister, where reading went on a while, till the hour for Vespers arrived. After that service came the second meal of the day, Ccena, or supper, details as to which arc sometimes shewn on the Diet Rolls ; as a rule the fare was the same at both Prandium and Ccena. After supper followed Compline, at which the vigilance of the "Circa" would no doubt be needed ; for after food, when the evening was far past, the best of brethren would sometimes feel drowsy, Compline ended, the monks filed off to bed. Thus went the daily life of the average monk; a round of self-imposed duties, without relation to the needs or sufferings of the world beyond the walls. If there must be a theory interpreting such a life, it was this : That the dedication of ( the religious to God, with the daily sacrifice and frequent ^ worshippings, had vicarious influence on the spiritual and temporal prosperity of the outer world ; and that it not only testified ceaselessly to God's lordship over mankind, and to the benefits of the Christian faith, but in some manner shed a halo of sanctity over the surrounding district, and 7- .^ brightened up the darkness of mankind. Side by side with this fair theory was the selfish, and far more natural and prevalent notion, that men had dedicated themselves to this cloister-life, in order the more surely to compass their own salvation, and this— save when adjured by gifts of land or the like — without tiny reference to the spiritual needs of the world outside. And there were also those to whom the Cloister was a place for epiict untroubled idle ness, the idleness of men who believed themselves equally safe for this world and the next. Self centred, profoundly selfish, was the spirit which often ruled the monastic life. St. Swithun's Monastery was, as I have said, a place of high importance. Sheltered to the north by the huge fabric and sanctity of the Cathedral Church, the Convent sat secure in troublous times, girt with a high stone wall, first built by St. Swithun's care against the Danes, and protecting the low-lying south-eastern quarter of the City. For centuries the Convent had charge of the defences of this district; for a considerable distance the City wall itself formed the Monastic wall, and even when the two walls Introduction. became distinct, the monks kept charge of the outer defenccs, and of the southern City gates. The quaint little King's gate, which, with St. Swithun's Church riding peacefully on its bach, still arches over the road leading out of the City towards the College and St. Cross, was in the hands of the Convent; so was also the South gate, highcr up the hill towards the west ; the defences of this gate with its crenellated turrets, and the munitions of war, fell to the charge of the monaster)- (see Winchester, p. 132). Thus, almost from the Castle at the west, down to the Bishop's Palace and Castle of Wolvesey at the south-cast, the Convent relieved the City of the costs and responsibility of defence. The Convent, thanks to the frequent resort of royal persons, was often the recipient of substantial gifts ; hence a large rent roll, which, though not always sufficient to meet all claims and calls on it, enabled' the Prior and brethren to make good show of hospitality. Now and then we find, as in the Roil of John Merlawe, Receiver of the Prior's Treasury, that the Convent had to contract loans, and was straitened in the matter of meeting its obliga tions. Thus, in 1335, the Receiver was forced to borrow .{"192. is. 2d., (a sum equivalent to about £2300 in our money,) from a merchant, Guy of Lucca, and in the same year he paid off an old loan contracted from the " Society of the Merchants of Perugia," a Florentine company, amounting to £60, and another to a certain Merchant of Chochia (Chioz/a), of £200 (or £3100 in our money). Still, although the Obediential-)- Rolb are full of deficits, and these heavy loans must have sorely straitened the administration, St. Swithun's waN never bankrupt pip, crushed , under those burdens which led to the dissolution, long before the Reformation, of many Houses, and which brought even great Monasteries into serious straits, as we sec in the case of the famous Abbey of Bury St. Edmonds, immortalised in the delightful pages of Jocelyn of Brakelond. One of the most curious methods of raising supplies was that of granting " Corrodics," of which several examples arc given Introducth ion. in Appendix VI ; and, as our Rolls throw much light on these curious "life-annuities," a digression on them will not here be out of place. The grant of Corrodics was an ingenious if unsatisfactory method of raising ready-money by loading the future with a heavy burden of charges ; those which appear in our Rolls belong chiefly to the early part of the fourteenth century, at which time we know that the Convent was in difficulties. A Corrody was an annuity of some kind granted to a man in return for property or money given to the Church. On the donor's death the payments ceased, as we shall presently see. The Corrodies were often charged on some of the special funds, which provided the Prior with the means out of which he yearly paid the cash or sent the robes, etc., to the annuitant. Thus, a gentleman of some position, my Lord William of Illebonc (Lillebonne in Normandy), made over to the Convent some property belonging to him at Barton Stacey, ten miles from Winchester, described as " Untim Messuagium cum Curtillagio adjacentc in villa de Draytone in parochia de Berthone Sacy, unum Gurgitem jaccntcm in quodam Ioto vocato Gavelacre cum aqua ad dictum Gurgitem pcrtinente, tres acras prati, uncle unum pratum jacet in parte orientali ipsius Gurgitis, et duo prata jacent in parte occidcntali ipsius Gurgitis ; unam pasturam vocatam Langeham, unam parvam placeam jacentem in parte boreali dicti Gurgitis ; et unam virgatam terra jacentem in eadem villa et in parochia prredicta, unde quinquc acne jacent super Penbroukc, dure acrre jacent super Brandesbury ; una acra jacet in Strctforl . . . ge, tres acre jacent in parte boreali de Brandesbury, et tres acne jacent in parte orientali de Auntediche 'et cxtendunt ex opposite unius prati quod vocatur Kyngesmede" {Cathedral Deeds, vol. ii, No. 12.) This was evidently a very considerable property, and the Corrody, regarded as rent of the house and lands, remembering that it was only to be paid during the lifetime of William of Illebone, was not an extravagant sum. Drayton and Brandesbury Introduction. are hamlets of the parish of Barton Staccy ; and the Dean and Chapter of Winchester continued, till the late changes, to be Lords of the Manor and owners there. They still have the advowson. In return for this, as long as the Lord William lived the Prior paid him, m money and goods, what was equivalent to a rent of about ^170 a year. The Hordarian's Roll of 1327 mentions the payments; and those of 1330 and 1331 give a detailed account. 1330— Paid to "the Lord Prior's Treasurer, for the Corrody which Willitim of Illebone receives, i.e., for this current year, £10. Also, one Robe (i.e., a piece of stuff, as we learn from the Roll of 1331, of ten ells of cloth of the suit of the Prior), with two furs and two capes of budget, £2. 3s. ; also two loads of ha)-, and two of brushwood for firing, gs. 4d. ; with iu for arrears of ha)-, straw, and oats." This, however, seems to have been an incomplete payment, for in 1331, after the cash, £10, ;ind the "Robe," the two furs of rjross and minute straudling, and one hood of Miniver for "the same Lord, costing £1. 2s., we find a payment of three cartloads of hay, and two of straw, three quarters of oats, and two cartloads of brushwood, costing £1. \os. Gd. How far back the payments began we know not; we have the record of their end. For in 1334 the Hordarian writes : " Paid to my Lord William of Illebone for three loads of hay, two of litter, three quarters of oats, and two loads of brushwood, £1. 7s. 6d. ; and nothing more of the Corrody or Robe this year, because he is dead— Diem suum clausit extrcmum, cujus ariima: propitietur Dcus." It is likely that these cartloads were paid early in the year, before William died, and so could not be recovered ; the Prior's heavier payments were due later in the year, and death released the Convent of the obligation before the money was paid over. In another place we have an interesting entry. In the Roll of 1337-8 the Convent is found selling three Corrodics, and receiving the money for them, cash down. They stand in the Roll of Nicholas Hey wode, the Prior's Receiver, as follows : — Introduction. 25 John of Brifditwellc £45 q q Nicholas of Hampton, Clork (in part payment) 10 0 0 John I won (in part payment) 15 0 0 £70 0 0 or about £850 in our value, being capital money received • for the sake of which the House charged itself for an in definite time with yearly payments. Unluckily, we cannot find a full account of these annuities ; for the Receiver's Rolls for the years following 1337-S have disappeared. In Appendix VI some of the details arc to be seen. It is however, quite clear that, in order to get present relief at a time when the affairs of the Convent were seriously involved, the monks were tempted to contract this most unthrifty kind of loan. There are also among the MSS. in the Cathedral Library, records of several other Corrodies which are given at length in Appendix VI. There is nothing to tell us by what methods the House succeeded in bringing its affairs into order again ¦ it seems certain that in the course of the next century this was accomplished. A man of real financial ability could ccrtamly have done it, had he been well supported by the other Obedientiaries ; the number of monks, was we know, largely reduced, and the servants and dependents must have become fewer than before. It is also probable that m the fifteenth century the stream of visitors to the Convent was much diminished, thanks to the Civil War and the impoverishment and well-nigh extinction of the old noblesse. It must also be remembered that the PIousc had at this time at its head a series of powerful and munificent prelates. It is not likely that William of Wykeham, or Beaufort, or Waynfkte, would allow their Cathedral Monastery to fall into a bankrupt state. From one source or another means were forthcoming, and the Convent got over the difficulty, so that before the time of the Dissolution, St. Swithun's (unlike the little House at belbornc, which, by reason of debt and neglect was dissolved by William of Waynllete, and handed over to his new College at Oxford), was in possession of a very 20 Introduction. Pi Introduction. 2'/ fine, and apparently an unencumbered, rent-roll. In the King's Books, the valuation of the annual income of St. Swithun's Prior)- is given at ,£1507. 1 7 x. 2)/-d.\ and another almost contemporary statement puts it still higher. For at the end of the fifth and last volume of the Register of Bishop Fox, I find a detailed list of all the ecclesiastical property in the Diocese, under the date 1534. The first item is this : — Munasterium S. Swithuni Wintonitc : ) IlenrieiH Broke uuper Prior ibidem : - £15 12. os. It/. Willehnus bas) uge Prior motlernus : ) The splendid neighbour and rival of the Cathedral Priory, the mitred Abbey of Hyde, is returned in the King's Books as being worth only £865. is. 6%d. If we take the moderate scale of 1:12 for the difference in the value of money, then and now, we see that the yearly income of St. Swithun's Priory could not have been much under ^18,500 ; an amount which ought to have been, and no doubt, when prudently administered, was, amply sufficient for the needs of the Convent itself, for the support of the brethren, and of the swarm of dependents attached to the Plouse. One of the most important privileges attached to the Monastery was that of electing the Bishops of Winchester, of which a full and complete account is handed down to us in the Register of William of Waynflcte. In the days of Henry III, this duty led to many a struggle, sometimes enlivened with bribery and threats, sometimes tinged with bloodshed. The King always tried to force on them some unworthy foreign favourite ; and the Convent, to its great credit and honour, made serious, and same times successful, resistance. The attempts of the King to pack the Priory with his foreign friends, and his vigorous efforts to drive or cajole the rest into submission to his will, form an admirable illustration of the miseries and misrule of his reign. This privilege must always have been a source of much anxiety to the monks; the clash of interests, and interference of unworthy motives, often made their acts uncertain, often involved Ihcm in very serious suffering. Apart from the general authority wielded by the Bishop, the Convent could not forget that in electing him they also elected their Abbot. For in every Cathedral Monastery the Bishop was Abbot, .and the Convent, however rich or distinguished, could never rise above the dignity of a Priory. As Abbot, the Bishop could interfere, though not without some clever passive resistance, in the domestic affairs of the House, and ¦ thus we find him sometimes claiming the right to supervise the Convent's accounts and expenditure. It is not unlikely that the action of William Giffard, Walkelin's successor, was based on his rights as Abbot. In his extreme straits, which arose from the enormous cost of finishing of the huge Norman Cathedral, at that time the largest building in Europe, and still to this day exceeded in size only by St. Peter's at Rome, Bishop William had seized on some revenues of the House, and more particularly on the income of nine benefices belonging to the Monastery. There followed a long and bitter quarrel between the Abbot-Bishop and monks, which lasted several years, and was only brought to a close by a quaint and desperate expedient : the brethren eventually made their power felt by forming into procession in the Triforium of the Cathedral Church, and marching round it, contrary to all use and propriety, "against the sun," instead ol from east by south to west; and as they pursued this ill-omened course, they held their crosses reversed, head downwards, with dark looks and dismal chantings, till they had completed the wrongful circuit under the capacious Norman groining, which still spans the broad and gloom)' space in the transepts. "The arguments of one age fall powerless on the ears of another;" and we cannot now'unclcrstand how this strange procession can have influenced the Bishop : yet the Annals tell us that, whether impressed by the strange ceremony, or, as is more likely, genuinely desiring to do what was fair and right towards his nearest neighbours, who ought to be also his closest friends, Bishop William in the end restored Intr roauction. to the Convent the confiscated churches, and ever after lived with the brethren on most affectionate and intimate terms. And, later on, it seems as if the luckless .Prior, William of Taunton, who was bound to protect his Monastery against tiic unscrupulous greed and violence of that worst of Bishops, Aymer of Lusignan, the half-brother of Henry HI, hoped that, by visiting Rome and persuading Pope Innocent IV to grant him the ring, mitre, and crozier, he might raise himself to the level of a mitred Abbot, and so be the better able to protect himself and his House against episcopal exactions and extortion. It was in those days that matters reached their worst ; afterwards things grew more friendly again between the Bishops and their home-Convent ; no more violent quarrels are recorded, nor do we find unseemly incidents thenceforward occurring to disturb their harmony. The Bishop was treated with&the fullest^ respect, as the honorary head of the Priory ; and the life of the community went on with a monotony and smoothness which contrasted brightly with the turbulent and unbridled license which reigned in court and camp. It is time that we set ourselves, in the light afforded by the documents printed in this volume, aided also by Arch bishop Lanfranc's " Constitutions," as printed by Wilkins in the first volume of the Concilia, pp. 32S sqq., and by the valu able "Consuetudines in Refectorio S. Swithun's, Winton '' (printed by me, A.D. 1SS6, and incorporated among the pub lications of the Plampshire Record Society), to investigate the methods and arrangements by means of which the business of the Convent was carried on. The original system followed by all Benedictine Houses, in the early and simpler days, made the Conventual Church the home of all the higher hopes and prayers of the community; from it the brethren trooped early in the morning with cheerful readiness into the Chapter House, the centre and starting point of all the energies and labour of the day. There, after short prayers, the Prior assigned to each member his daily task, in place and quantity ; then after another prayer for blessing on the Introduction. 29 work of their hands, they took up spade, or pick, or rake, placed handy for them, and went forth, two and two, to till the expectant soil. Unhappily, this wholesome and beneficent labour fell out of use before long, though not till it had worked a revolution in the ideas and habits of men : by degrees the monastic land-owner became a land-lord, and no longer won a blessing for himself by tilling the soil. He preferred to sit in cloister, torpid in winter, and in summer drowsy, while the lands were let out on farm on easy terms. In those earlier days all (even what were later deemed the most menial) offices were performed willingly by the brethren : they were the gardeners, the cooks, the gate porters ; they took in turn the most laborious duties without demur. No tale could shew more clearly the change than that told in the Winchester Annals (p. 68) (s.a. 1 19S) concerning Brother Walter. It marks the shrink ing and contempt with which the Benedictine gentlemen regarded any one who gave himself up to manual toil, and did not fear the more squalid details of life. For to the monk the belief that Christ's Gospel illuminates all the dark places of the earth, and makes beautiful its most sordid offices, had long been a mere pious belief. Here and there, when new thoughts— and thoughts are life— stirred the surface of the dull waters of conventual use, a sympathetic soul was touched, and began to long that he too might live under some stricter and less social rule, working with his own hands and restoring the simpler faith of younger days. Such a man was Brother Walter of Hyde. At the end of the twelfth century there had been an awakening. The new foundations, Cistercian and Carthusian, seemed to yearning souls to provide a better way, and not a few left their old Benedictine quarters and habits of life to try the new path of salvation ; as did Walter, formerly Sub-prior of Hyde Abbey, afterwards Prior of Bath, a man who, as the monkish chronicle, strongly opposed to him, declares, "would rather be profitable to himself alone than rule over others." He, touched with this new desire of special holi ness, one day left his Convent at Bath, and betook himself 30 Introduction. to the Carthusians : thither, after a while, came an old friend from Hyde Abbey, a younger monk, attracted perhaps by some sense of the insufficiency of the monastic life, perhaps by feeling a little touch of satire and sarcasm at the thought of finding Prior Walter in his new and squalid life. And when he came to the place" and beheld him, who not so long before had been intent on the saving of souls, now deeply intent on pots and pans and the wash ing of potherbs" ("circa ollas et olefa valdc intentum "), he could restrain himself no longer, but spake out and said, " Dear Lord and Father, Ouod facis est Kcrc, quod tractas Kirewewcre," and, having utteied these mysterious words, turned on his heel and went home again. The odd thing is that this remark, and perhaps the sight of his old colleague, so deeply affected Prior Walter that he was converted from his new and stricter manner of life, girt up his loins and returned to his Benedictines at Bath, where he ruled in great tranquility for the remainder of his days. 1'he monk's queer Hexameter line, which proved so effective on this occasion, is not at all easy of explanation. It looks like a little scrap of lost monastic slang ; and we can only conjecture that it meant something of this kind, ' Your present life (quod facis) is a farewell (Kere, probably yaipe) I what you are handling (i.e., the pots and potherbs) is but handicraft (Kire — ^elpe)." As though he would say, " Vou have cut yourself off from the life in community, saying farewell to us all, and have condemned yourself to handle these low and menial things, to wash your own vegetables, and cook them in your own pot, and clean up afterwards,'' — things to the monastic mine! of that and later ages altogether despicable and unworthy. For the Bene dictine was, in his collective capacity, a 'great ' feudal lord, who left to those beneath him in the hard social scale the care of the domestic and menial duties of life. How faint in them the doctrine of Christ had become ! Long before the time at which our earlier Rolls begin,' the system of Obedientiaries was in full swing. The more humble affairs, as I have said, were deputed to the charge t- Introduction. ST of lay-brethren ; the more dignified and important duties were distributed out among the monks. It is not quite clear how these offices were given, or what rule of selection was used. It is probable that the Prior generally made the appointments by his own authority ; for there was little or no notion of joint action and responsibility on the part of the community. These officers were styled Obedientiaries, because they were under special obligation of obedience to the Prior, and perhaps partly as an echo of the words of our Lord, "Pic that is greatest among you shall be your servant.'- These officers may be collected into four groups ; it will be seen that some of them are in more than one group, as is inevitable where a man has duties to perform in more than one place ; thus the Custos Operum, having care of the Conventual buildings, including the Cathedral, may be regarded as coming under two separate heads, and is named under two : — i. The first group stands round that dignified personage the Prior ; they are the Sub-Prior, Third Prior, and some times a Fourth Prior, an officer not usually found in a Monastery, but certainly existent at St. Swithun's in the latter part of the fifteenth century. In this group we may place the Seneschal, or Steward of the land, who is expressly- called the Prior's Seneschal ; he, however, was not a monk, 2. The second group is attached to the Church. They arc— (i) The Sacrist, who had charge of all material things pertaining to the Church and Services, with a Sub-Sacrist under him. (2) The Precentor, responsible for the actual conduct of Divine Worship. (3) The Circa, whose business it was to keep order ; we have no trace of him at St. Swithun's, and' it is possible that his duties were, in part at least, performed by Sacrist or Precentor. (4) The Annivcrsarian, who had charge of the obit-days of bene factors, etc. (5) The Custos Operum, who looked to all repairs. 3- The third and largest group is that of the internal pfficcrs of the House. Of these the first and second are Introduction. general, working for the benefit of the whole community ; the rest are told off to special or partial duties. We will call the first two A ; and these will be (i) the Receiver who received the rents of all the estates, etc., belonging to the Priory, and not partitioned off to the support of separate offices, and (2) the Hordarian, who had charge of the home or material resources of the Convent ; pro viding bread and beer, meat and fish, for the Refectory, and having for that purpose a large income secured on several estates. Then, under a heading B, arc (3) the Rcfectorarian, who received all the eatables, etc, from the Hordarian,' passed them on to the Cook, and had care of the Refectory in which they were consumed. Under him were the Cooks. R was probably by him that the curious and interesting Diet Rolls printed in this volume were compiled. We have no Account Rolls of this officer, because (as we learn from the Custumaty of the Refectory and the Rolls), lie was released from all charge or care of paying for the food, table cloths, dishes, etc, of the Refectory. (4) The Chamberlain may be taken next, as having care of the furniture, and as ordering the different chambers and halls of the Monaster)-. Then come, combined in one at St Swithun's, the (5) Cellarer and Curtarian, who looked after the wine| beer, cider, and mead, and also took charge of the different parts of the out-buildings, the courtyards, stables, out houses, etc. (6) Next is that important officer, the Almoner, whose office it was to distribute bread on certain days, and sometimes, though seldom, to give actual sums of money to the needy. After him comes a little group of Obedien tiaries, who have left no trace behind them in our Polls. These are (7) the Infirmarian, the physician. monk, if any brother had happened to study medicine, as Walter of Longstock had done : he had charge of those weakly and ailing monks, who by reason of age or infirmity had taken refuge in the Infirmary. (8) The Master of Novices; his duty was to teach the young men preparing- for Profession, and also to look after the boys in the school. (9) Then the Hortulan or Gardener (who more frequently was not a monk). Introduction. 33 (10) The Custos Operum. We also find traces of a monk told off to take care of the Mandatum or Common Room 4. Lastly, there was a little group of officers dcalino- with external affairs: (1) The Doorkeepers or Porters a&t he Cloister gate and at the entrance to the precincts. (2) I he Guest-master, who looked after travellers or visitors to the Monastery. It will be well to draw out here in some detail so far as our sources of information help us, the special duties of the different officers thus enumerated. And first we oueht to consider the great dignitary placed over them all, my Lord the Prior. This feudal prince, for he was little less, had his hvmg-quarters entirely apart from those of the monks. It was only on very rare occasions that he con descended even to appear in the Refectory. He dwelt in those ancient buildings which, ever since the conversion oi the Conventual body into a Dean and Chapter (save in the days of the Commonwealth), have been the home of the successive Deans of the Cathedral. Here my Lord nor kept such private state as became a personam of fi's importance and dignity. His suite must have "been very imposing, and costly to maintain. We learn from the Corrodics (Appendix VI, hi and vi) that he had his own esquires and clerks in his service, as well as a full tale of "famuli." These all wore the Prior's livery or suit (secta),, as was usual in the houses of nobles and gentry. He was regarded with great reverence at home and held a high position in the court and country as a feudal lord. For he enjoyed this special advantage, that he represented a lordship which was far less onerous and oppressive towards its tenants than that of any of the neighbouring lay-lords, or even of the Bishop of Winchester himself; consequently, when he appeared,' he was always well received and welcome, and seemed to bear in his own person the wnole authority of the conventual body For though m theory the Monastery was a community of spin ua persons holding lands and wealth in common in which all should live above sublunary thoughts of persona" D 34 Introduction. property, still, as a matter of fact, the body politic inevitably took colour from the world around, and regarded itself, and was regarded by all, as among the temporal great ones of the earth. Who could resist the pride and pleasure of seeing the Prior taking his proper rank among the lay grandees of the district? And so, as he passed from estate to estate, on business or on pleasure bent, my Lord Prior was surrounded by a large retinue of friends and followers, and took full share in all the duties and amusements of a country life. For example, in the dark days of Henry III, we find Prior John of Caux providing autumn sport for his foreign kinsfolk ; and a little later, in the Almoner's Roll of 131 1, William Trcgcge, "valet" (valcttus = vaslettus, a little vassal, a word derived from Celtic g:vas,a. youth; thus a youth dependent on and ministering to his lord, a servant), of my Lord Prior, Richard of Encdford,has to take charge of his master's horses at Patency, in Wiltshire, for three weeks, at a charge to the Convent of is. 6d. In the same year in a Compotus Roll of Encdford (Enedford = Duck-ford, a place abounding in wild ducks on the river Avon, in Wiltshire), we find an entry of id. for bread bought to feed the Prior's hounds, he being then on his way to hunt in the broad forest wilds of Savcrnakc : the Prior is also recorded as having there that same year a white horse and a roan palfrey, clearly with a view to the chase. And similarly, that same year, in a very different part of the estates, in the Manor of Crondal in North Hants, there is an entry to the effect that a certain "garcio,"' or serving-man, of the Prior was staying there in charge of seven hares, awaiting his master's arrival for a few days' coursing over the wild and open lands of Aldershot and Crookham. We ' find, too, 'in one place that the Convent built the Prior "a new house for his dogs within the Precincts." There is also a characteristic entry of a purchase of spurs for the Prior, at a cost of id., in the Receiver's Roll of 1337-8. And of sport we hear some thing, too, when lie buys nets to catch foxes, rabbits, and partridges, at the large outlay of 22s. 6d. John le Introduction. 35 Couchericr we also find " cxistens in patria," out in the country-parts, from time to time, to catch partridges ; and there is an item in the same Roll of 'Ad. for gloves for the same person, and for bells for the falcons. These delights of country sport were not, however, the main business of our Prior's life. For while he was at home, as for the most part he was, the general management and administration of the Convent fell to his, lot. He was, as we should now say, Chairman at all Capitular Meetings; he was the chief figure and host in all hospitality to be shewn towards princes and nobles passing through the City ; he took the first place in all solemn services in the Cathedral Church ; he gave entertainment on certain important occasions in the Refectory of his lodgings. There it was, for instance, that on St. ^Ethehvold's Day he welcomed the dignitaries and civic magnates, as well as the chief lay-folk of the City and neighbourhood ; and when with due entertainment they were all gathered together in the Hall, which now under altered conditions is the drawing-room of the Deanery, in to them was brought in solemn state the casket or reliquary- which contained the Saint's bones. This was passed around, and devoutly touched or kissed by all present, and thence taken on to the brethren assembled in Refectory, and lastly carried to the poor sick monks in Infirmary for their comfort. The lay brethren anil dependents of every kind might see it, or maybe even have the felicity of touching it, as it passed to and fro through the Cloister. The Prior also formed the last Court of appeal in dispute or difficulty. Thus our Rolls display him under taking the management of one or another office, in order to bring its affairs again into order ; for several years he acts as "administrator in Rcfectorio"; at the time of the St. Giles' Fair he removes himself altogether from the Convent to the Hill, where he supervises the varied business transacted in the St. Swithun's booths. His importance as a feudal lord is also not infrequently illustrated by his interference in and authority over the 1) 2 36 Introduction. Sanctuary of Godbcate House in the High Street If anv > doer fled thither, and he could reach the I'lrs ear then he course of justice could make no progress; for the kind's vnt, and the mayors orders would alike have beat in vain against the portals of this strange little oasis in the hear o "th^M ^f^^^^^^^^n ovu the Manors belonging to the Convent, and once a year sat m tne Audit Chamber with certain of the Brethren to th Sr , "vk Pss as correct thc accounts rc,ldered b>' tin different Obedientiaries. From this yearly survey an mtelhgent Prior got a clear notion of the position of affair, the solvency or indebtedness of each office, and thc general Prosperity or decay of the Convent. To this must be adeed mymty of unflagging hospitality towards the noble on! ?Td thr°Ugh Winchest«, and the calls not on y to sustain his own private state within his lodging but ;ilS0 t0 lfv office'-s i" difficulties, and to lighten the pressure ot the Convent's management. From the Con- Tl!\ :"'eS '" RrtlCtono' PP- IS- 10, we gather some par ticulars as to what was expected from him in the Frater Pie had to strew the Refectory with rushes at certain ' m h f "k TS f^ d°thS ; t0 P1'°vide also' no small it.m bi cad butter, cheese, and beer, for the whole body of monks. The straw or rushes had to be changed seven times in the year, thrice in winter aud four times in summer. hor all these calls the Prior needed an ample estate- and it is unfortunate that no Roll of his accounts has been handed down to us. We have indeed Rolls of the Receptor bcaccarii Domini Prioris--; but as this "Receiver" was one of the officers of the Convent, and the "Treasury" apparently that of the House, not of the Prior's private hoard, these Rolls' telbus nothing about the charges on the triors separate establishment, which was large and very costly, or about the sources from which they were defrayed W e arc wont to think of thc members of a Monastic House as men troubled with no thought or care as to private ownership or property: we fancy that they live in commumty, having whereon to five and to be clothed; and Introduction. 17 thus "having food and raiment" that they are therewith content. This, however, is far from being universally thc case. The cares of property, common or private, oppress them ; from time to time we find burdens of debt and calls which can hardly be met; from time to time, too, our Rolls give indications of private wealth, or of money given to individuals for their private use. And this must "have specially been the case with the Lord Prior, who lived almost entirely apart from the rest of the community; thc Prior, the Sacrist, and one or two others, had their own separate houses, and appeared but seldom in thc common hall. As for the Prior's estates, which were quite distinct from those which supported the Convent generally, we have no sure means of identifying them. There is, however, in the Cathedral Archives a Roll of the seventeenth century, enumerating the estates of thc Dean just before thc Commonwealth ; and as the Dean succeeded directly to thc office of Prior, and the last Prior became the first Dean, it is more than probable that these estates or some of them were the original manors dedicated to the sustentation of the Prior's dignity. Judging from thc hst of these estates his rent-roll must have been considerable In addition to this official income, he enjoyed a number of smaller gifts from the different officers of the Convent. Thus, the Almoner sent him wine five times a year and also made him a " Curiality," or » Courtesy,' an accustomed gift of lis. 4d., for his knife-money at thc time of St. GiTes' Fair. The Chamberlain paid him " living money " vcarly to the value of £3. 6s. Sd. of money of those days ; he also sent him wme five times in thc year (at the rate of a shilling a time), and a Fair-time Courtesy, also of i3s. 4d. ¦ he had also to pay the Prior 24s. Sd. instead of the rent of Dummersmede, just outside the Priory wall to the south where Bishop William of Wykeham built his College of St. Mary Winton. Thc Custos Operum also sent thc -ift of wme five times a year (for the Prior's five festival days) and ^ls. 4d. for the Fair. He also, in 1400, paid thc Prior .*4 tent for his meadows at Nursling, so that we learn -"V 3S Introduction. incidentally that at Nursling was one of thc Prior's estates. Thc Almoner sent him wine, and lis. 4d. for the Fair. Similarly, thc Hordarian provided wine and knife-money ; also two pigs and two calves at Christinas. When tit home thc Prior could not have had an idle life. There were man)- services in the Church at which he had to be present ; there were daily Chapters over which he presided ; there was thc charge of estates, as to which his judgment was in continual request ; he sometimes administered the business of one or another of the Con ventual offices, if it had fallen into confusion and arrcar ; and lastly, he had, as we have said, to go through all thc accounts, and to determine, in case of a deficit, how thc difficulty should be met. Thus, in 1444, the Almoner's arrears were remitted to him " by the Lord Prior and the other Auditors ; grants of money were made on special occasions by his authority, as we see in 1484-5, when the Prior, Sub -Prior, and Convent not only gave thc Hordarian (Thomas Silkstede, afterwards Prior) the large sum of £11. l'^s. (say £lSo to .£400), to help him in re building the mill at Exton, but also authorised another payment (of us.) to him with which to repair thc sea walls at Bledon in Somersetshire, which had been broken through and destroyed that year by the unusual "violence and ferocity of wind and sea." In all these matters our Prior is seen to be a man of plentiful work and responsibility. The view we have here obtained of the Prior's work and duties contrasts very favourably with Chaucer's highly coloured and sarcastic pictures of thc Monk and the Prioress drawn about the same time, in the Prologue to thc thc Canterbury Talcs. In thc documents we have been examining, no such darker shades appear as' form' the back ground of Chaucer's portraits ; for his was thc courtier's view, thc view of thc literary layman, inclined to criticise with jealousy and some suspicion the actions of men who were either not courtiers at all, or who paid their court to a very different Lord from him who sat on, England's throne. Here we have a record of steady, and for the most Introduction. 39 A part, honest and beneficent work ; there, on the contrary, the tendency is to pick out the less favourable features of the system, and to point a merry poetic contrast between practice and profession. The historian who deals with medieval times, usages, habits, will take note of many things' which do not fall within the view of such a sketch as ours, thc special aim of which is to bring into clearer view the wholesome and valuable side of the monastic life. We prefer to see in the Prior a great noble, ruling over what was far better than a noble's fortress — a well-ordered, peaceful community, which on the one side kept up a perpetual protest against the rude vices of the age, and on the other side shewed to the kings, nobles, and prelates who thronged our city, the pattern of an organization for the conduct of life and business which could hardly have been found elsewhere in medieval times. Side by side with the Royal Castle, and the Bishop's well-towered Palace of Wolvesey, St. Swithun's held high and honourable place ; and neither Prior nor Convent was unworthy of their repute and standing. Even slander has respected this venerable House, and the records, carefully searched out, reveal nothing that can be turned to its serious discredit. By the Prior's side stood his vice-gerent, the Sub-Prior, usually an elderly monk who had done good work in the Convent, or whom, perhaps, some of the brethren at the last election might have hoped to sec made Prior. When the Prior was ill or absent, or went on progress through the Manors, thc Sub-Prior took his place at home, and acted in his stead. lie was, in fact, invested with much the same powers as those statutably enjoyed after the Reformation by the Vice-Dean. By his side again stood the Third Prior, ready for emergencies, if by any mishap the Sub-Prior as well as his chief proved to be at thc same time incapacitated from working. People were not so very healthy in those days, and the same epidemic was not unlikely to disable at once both Prior and Sub-Prior, so that a reserve power, in the form of a Third Prior, was considered to be always necessary. And indeed, '.! :¦ 40 Introduction. St. Swithun's in its caution went further still ¦ for it is clear that provision was also made for a Fou'rth Prior In the Consuetudinary (p. Ic/i, we find thc phrase "Ouartus si fuent, Prior," so that it is clear that he was not then on the permanent staff of officials, but might at any time be added to it. He would be no doubt appointed when one of the others was disabled, or when there was some necessity for sending trusted representatives of the Convent out into thc world. From the Diet Roll of 1514-ici e we learn that there was at that time a Fourth Prior actually cx.stuig ; for thc dietary of iSth December, 1514 (the lourth Sunday in Advent), is thus headed: "Tabula Miss* Quart. Prions prima vice et Ministratio secunda Tcrtii prions ; as it the Fourth Prior were then just beginning his ministrations in the Convent. And in the text for thc same day we have the following entries : ' In Ryce pro mterfcrculari iiii" Prions " ¦ and again, lower down ^1 pane et vino empto et misso Quarto Priori cxistcnti in tabula misste. In the Almoner's Roll also of 15 17 we luiv/j;: "[n Panc ot vino empto et misso Tcrtio" Priori et Quarto Prion cxistentibus in tabula misste hoc anno cuihbct eorum Sd., i6df- so that it is clear that in this year both tnesc ofheers were at work side by side. These vicegerents, two or three of them, as the case might be, appear frequently in the Rolls as recipients of gifts and benefits from different officers. Thus, thc Anniversarian found them a small quantity of wine, when they were on the "Table of thc Mass," and also larger sums for table-money, namely, to the Sub-Prior, 3.5-. \d. and to the Third Prior, 2s. The Chamberlain provided them with funds for St, Giles- Fair, giving to the Sub-Prior, is. 4d, and to the Third' Prior s6me part of 3.,.

Clothes were not cheap then ; for this monkish dress, thick and warm, cost at least £4 of our money. Then came the Curtarian ; he paid them similar table-money (Sub-Prior, 3* 4d., Third Prior, 2s.) also Sd. Introduction. 4i worth of wine when the Third Prior was on the Table of the Mass. The Custos Operum sent them i6d. in wine on the same occasion, and the usual Fair-money. We find also that thc Almoner, in 1312, sent to the Sub-Prior, Brother Rogei- of Entyngham, 7>/,d. in wine at the time of his " creation," or appointment to thc office : when, however, Brother W. of Romsey was made Third Prior, he got only ll/2d. in beer, which sounds poor. Thc Almoner also sent the Sub-Prior a shilling's-worth of beer, and provided the officers with Fair-money. The Hordarian found them in bread when on the "Table of the Mass,'' and 6s. between them for thc Fair. Thus, supported by his lieutenants or deputies, the Prior presided over the various departments of the Convent each of which had also its own head. These departments were : (1) All matters connected with the conduct of Divine Service, and thc sustcntation of thc fabric, etc., of thc Cathedral Church; (2) thc management of the home affairs of the Monastery, which division forms the main part of this volume ; (3) the care of thc estates belonging to the body corporate, which threw on the Prior's shoulders no hght burden of practical business, in which he was aided by thc bcncschal or Agent : this gave him the considera tion, anxieties, and amusements of a country gentleman. When seated in the Cathedral Church, he was only second in command, with the Episcopal Abbot over him ; when presiding in Chapter, he realised that he was a great and dignified ecclesiastic, to whom ail present paid reverence • but when making progress through the estates, he beheld himself as thc equal of thc feudal lords of neighbouring lands, receiving homages, accepting the benefits and court testes of feudal custom, and enjoying the gentleman's special and well-protected amusement of thc chase With the Monastery as a landlord we cannot now deal • if ever our bundle of Rolls of " thc second year of Prior 1 " Hh.it >s. of the year 1248— ,_M9), a eolleetion in a perfect state o preservation, is edited by a duly qualified hand we shall obtain a complete view of the administration and' Introduction. Introduction. 43 produce of a large medieval estate. For these documents, taken together with the fine Winchester Custumal of 1287,' would give a full account of thc corn grown, the animals kept, the wool sold, as well as of thc feudal services exacted from the tenants on each estate. This work, however, interesting as it would undoubtedly be for thc history of agriculture and of feudal institutions in the thirteenth century, falls altogether outside the scope of our present volume, which seeks to display the elaborate organization of Obedientiaries, by whom thc affairs of a large Monaster)' were conducted. Of most of these officials no record remains at St. Swithun's ; cither, as is most likely, they submitted no accounts of their offices, which did not involve any expen diture of money or care of Manors; or, it may be, they had their own Compotus Rolls, which have unhappily perished. Out of about twenty Obedientiaries, we have the Rolls of eight only. Some of them, such as the Precentor, the Master of the Novices, or the Porter, would, from the nature ¦of their offices, have no money-affairs to account for; the Rcfectorarian, on the other hand, and the Guest-master, must have had to expend very considerable sums, or their equivalents in kind ; and we are unfortunate in finding no fragments of their accounts in the general wreck. In the original system of a Benedictine House all offices, how humble soever, were entrusted to the brethren themselves. In course of time thc monk's found it irksome to perform menial duties, or the change in manners and position made it difficult for them ; by degrees they put in substitutes, and in the end entrusted the kitchen, the Convent garden, thc porter's lodge, to lay-brethren. It was an unhappy break in the theory of a community which professed the grand doctrine of " Laborare est Orare," and was supposed to regard all tasks, however humble, as dignified, and even sanctified, by thc equality of the Gospel, and the blessed example of Jesus Christ himself: they came in truth at last to deny the noble Benedictine principle that no labour done in God's sight, and for Him, could V possibly be mean or degrading. As time went on, wealth, estates, and social position, clustered round the vener able buildings ; while thc ancient dress, thc time-honoured formulas, the pious theory, so far above the common world in its Christian socialism, remained in form and frame, the true spirit, the spirit which gave them value, was dead. Men who knew that they were lords of broad acres could no longer stoop to open the welcoming Convent gate to thc tattered pilgrim of thc way ; nor did the haphazard cookery of an untrained brother suffice, when the estates provided such fine varieties of meat and game, of fish and tender fowl. And so by degrees around the actual Conventual body, which thought it better to sit shivering in Cloister than to dig healthfully in the garden, or to build a fence around the precincts, or to do an\' of the hundred necessary duties of the large establishment, there grew up a company of servants of every description. It is not clear what proportion these working dependents bore to the number of monks ; it is only certain that, first and last, they were numerous, sometimes, perhaps, exceeding the brethren in numbers, and adding seriously to the cost of maintenance. All large Monasteries appear to have been exceedingly strict in keeping the important portions of their Churches to themselves, and excluding all who were not brethren from nave and choir. The)- were accordingly wont to build, in their immediate neighbourhood, smaller churches for the use of their domestics and retainers ; — so far had they drifted away from thc true spirit of Christ. Thus, at Plyde Abbey, on the north side of the city of Winchester, the monks erected what is now thc parish church of St. Bartholomew Hyde for this purpose ; and in like manner the Cathedral Convent raised over the ancient Kingsgate the curious little church of St. Swithun, which still stands thereon, though the original building was burnt down in the thirteenth century. The pilgrims, too, who visited the famous shrines, were sedulously (and with more excuse) prevented from penetrating into those parts of the church 44 Introduction. Introduction. 45 which were reserved for the brethren alone ; at St. Swithun's, as elsewhere, they were admitted by a special Norman doorway into the north transept ; ami thence by the ambulatory to the large structure, nave and two aisles with Lady Chapel beyond, in the centre of which stood the Saint's shrine, between (in the fifteenth century) the Chantries of Waynflete and Beaufort. Into south transept, nave, or choir, no pilgrim could be allowed to pass. Much as we ma)- regret these deflections from the nobler theory of life with which the Benedictine Houses began, wc cannot help seeing that these new refinements, and .this increase of case and wealth, gave these Convents great value as examples of, and aids to, civilised social existence. On the other hand it must be admitted that from this con dition of things sprang not a little of the jealousy, and perhaps envy, with which the monks were regarded ; and when, in thc fifteenth century, thc brethren, these men of "endowed leisure," refused to recognise thc new movements in learning, and became, as we see in the pages of Erasmus, More, and others, a by -word for sloth and ignorance, it is not astonishing that tales of luxury and worldlin'ess became widely spread and commonly believed, and that unfounded slanders were received as truths, and that the volume of dislike and opposition to the monastic bodies swelled and grew, till the monasteries, no longer able to defend themselves, fell victims to the flowing tide. It must never, however, be forgotten that this organiza tion of offices within the Convent was unique in its best days. Where in the whole world of the thirteenth century can we meet with so completely framed and active a system as that of a Benedictine House? Not,, certainly, in the feudal castle, with its 'fierce warrior-lord; ' and turbulent lioide of "devib, not men," as thc English Chronicle calls them ; not in the medieval city, with powers and privileges still uncertain and precarious, though there was here, perhaps, a nearer parallel than elsewhere; not even in Ring's Courts which came and went, and had not yet developed their complete chanccllerie, nor had learnt thc importance y of ministers and departments of administration. In a well ordered Monastery, with its eighteen to twenty Obedientiaries, life went on smoothly and prosperously. There only were thc divisions of time fully understood and the importance of time appreciated ; there only were thc departments of work, the directions of industry, carefully marked off ; there too the main principle of official responsibility began early to be asserted. Of Obedientiary Rolls the Cathedral Archives possess, as I have said, only sixty-four; or if the valuable " Con- suctudines in Rcfectorio" be added, sixty-five. This last is already in the hands of the members of the Hampshire Record Society. These Rolls are very unevenly distributed ; and many of the most important offices are poorly repre sented.

Mr. J. W, Clark has just issued the " Liber Memorandorum " of thc hhiglish House of Black Canons at Barnwell, Cambridge, and in that House there were these officers:— (I) Prior; (2) Sub-Prior ; (3) Third Prior ; (4) Precentor or Armarhis (Librarian) with a Succeutor under him; (5) Sacrist, with Hub-Sacrist under him ; (G) Kcfcctovian, or Hull 46 Introduction. Introduction. 47 Butler; (7) Almoner; (8) Cellarer, with a Sub-Cellarer; (1)) Cook or Kitchen Steward, with a Snbcocpius, etc. ; (10) Granary Steward (Cranatarius) ; (11) lieeoivers (more than one); (12) Chamberlain ; (13) Intirmarinn. Our Sacristan's Roll has already been printed by thc Society (Vol I, pp. 13-31), so that it will not be needful in this place to do more than give a brief outline of thc duties of the office, as they arc given in Lanfranc, and in thc valuable " Liber Orclinis S. Victoris Parisiensis ' cap. 20 (quoted by Du Cangc), and illustrated by the practical details to be found in our MS. : — ' Ad officium Sacristre" says the Liber Ordinis, "pertinet omnia quae in thesauro sunt custodire, reliquias et omnia ornamenta altaris et sanctuarii ac totius ecclesins, sive in auro, sive in argento. sive in ostro, et palliis et tapctibus et cortinis ; sacras quoque vestes et pallias et manutergia, calicos et textus et cruces et thuribula et candelabra et caetera vasa qua; vel ad ministeriurn vel ad ornamentum altaris et sanctuarii totiusque ecclcsiae pertinent ; libros quoque missales, epistolares, et Evangelia." Everything in fact that bore on the order and decency of the services in Church was entrusted to his care, with exception of the singing books and musical matters generally, which were naturally under charge of the Precentor. The Sacrist's occupation in the Cathedral Church made him a man of very high dignity ; in some cases his office was combined with that of the Precentor, as was natural. In certain Houses the Sacrist ranked next after the Prior himself, as may be seen m Dugdale's account of thc Monastery at Lichfield. From this high position to that of the modern sexton, who has little of his standing save the corrupted form of the name, the drop is very great. Thc Sacristan was often Secretary, one of the Auditors, and Chancellor, in a Convent; he wrote nearly all the letters that had to be sent out, and had sometimes custody of the Library, Under him was a Sub-Sacrist, apparently not usually a monk, who undertook the more menial part of his official duties. The Sacrist lodged hard by the vestry of the Church, in chambers built within the walls of the South Transept; at i. St. Swithun's he lived in the last bay of that Transept, on the level of the Triforium, and over the offices and Cale factory. Here, in company with the Sub-Sacrist, he lived and slept, and had his meals, for it was not thought safe for him to ttbscnt himself from the watchful care of the great Church even for an hour. lie had under his charge also a " Custos Ecclcsice, who acted as Watchman, specially in the night-time. Our Roll enables us to see what provision was made in this Monastery for the performance of his duties: The plan was to assign definite estates, or charges on parishes, or other sources of income, to each office — and to make each officer responsible at Audit to the Prior and Com munity. Thc simpler plan of putting all the property under one management, and allotting what might be needful from thc general fund to thc special offices, docs not seem to have occurred to thc monks. And this is the more curious, because the sense of community was still very strong in a Religious House, and that of private ownership comparatively weak. The office of Sacrist of St. Swithun's, seeing that he had charge of many great ceremonies, Episcopal or Monastic, had to be endowed with very considerable sums of money. These came from payments made to the Cathedral by churches of parishes in which the Monastery had estates or property. Thus, wc find Crondal, Droxford, Havant, Winnai, St. Maurice, St. James, St. Faith, St. Anastasia, St. Pan'crasj St. Ronald, and All Saints, all in Winchester ; Binsted] Newchurch, and Arreton in the Isle of Wight ; Sparsholt and Itchenstoke ; these all paid annual fees to the Sacrist, amounting in the total to £18. igs. Sd. There were also payments for wax, and in wax ; Pentecostals also and oblations, burial fees, rents of churchyards, sums paid by the Prior, obventions, etc., reaching to £31. 19*. 0^. ; so that in the bad times, just before the changes, the office received in all ^48. 4s. nd, out of a total sum assigned to it, as the Roll tells us, of £55. 18^. 8*,/. Multiplying this by 12, as usual, wc may conclude that the Sacrist's 4S Introduction. office was endowed with an income reckoned at about £670 a year, whereas in fact in 1537 the actual receipts were only about £$yS of our present money. The expenditure of this sum throws much light on thc Sacrist's duties : he had to keep a vigilant eye on the supplies for divine service ; he provided wax for thc tapers, candles, oil for lamps ; he saw that the vestments were in proper plenty and condition ; paid for thread, ribbons, etc., for repairing albs, and defrayed thc washerwoman's bill for washing and mending; he bought wine for thc Eucharist, and lesser necessary things, mats, straw, besoms. Also, he paid for " wafer biscuits " (for the Mass) ; defrayed the cost of his own "O," or feast given to thc brethren on his appointment : saw to the great Paschal Taper, with the almanack of feast days, etc., on it ; paid fees to the monks who took charge of funerals, and something towards the expenses of "thc Table of thc Mass"; also made payments connected with processions, and for refresh ments on certain feast days; he paid also for putting up-new hangings for the stalls, and for repairs done in the church and to thc bells ; and, lastly, he took a consider able sum and spent it on thc wall of his own official garden ; he also spent largely 'in repairs of the lead on thc roof of thc Chapter house, a leaden roof being as costly to keep in order then as now. Then, again, he had to present " Courtesies '' and gifts (for the < tiginal "Curtsey" was in hard cash, not in a graceful female salutation) to the Prior, Sub-Prior, Third Prior, Precentor, Convent-students at Oxford, brethren and schoolboys, to the official of my Lord thc Archdeacon of Winchester, and other persons of the kind. He also sent wine to the Prior and others on the Feast Day of Eleven Thousand Virgins, and to the Boy Bishop on Holy innocents' Day, and to other personages. He also paid wages to servants of the Church, to the porter at the Cloister gate, to the Church watchmen, to the man who had the cue of the clock, and to the man told off to watch the shrine of St. Swithun. Thus we sec that, among many Introduction. 49 and multifarious duties, the Sacrist, or " Secretaries," as he is styled both in the Abingdon document and also in Lanfranc, had care of all Church furniture and ornaments, vessels, bells, relics and altars ; he also looked after some part of the property of the Refectory. He had also charge of the Cemetery, and kept it clear of weeds ; he allowed no horses or sheep to feed therein; "Rcprehensibile enim est pecorum frcqucntia, ubi conduntur corpora." In the year 1536-7 these expenses amounted to £48. 4s. nd. ; so that, in spite of the falling off in some sources of income, and of the amount paid (though not brought into account) as First Fruits to Henry Vlll, the balance was slightly on the right side, and was apparently credited to the account of the succeeding year ; the good Sacrist had most creditably kept his account solvent by declining to pay several of the items above enumerated. Deeming, as did the monks, the Cathedral Church to be the centre of their existence, finding in the Church their home, and in its worship and services their first and chief duty, we cannot wonder that the person charged with the provision of all things necessary for the several offices of religion should be regarded as one of the most trusted and important Obedientiaries of the blouse. For, as Dr. Jcssopp has well said, we must not think of the monks as men whose minds and energies turned outwards, who laboured to spread religion abroad in the world, or rejoiced to serve the Churches whence they drew much of their revenue. They were self-centred, having few interests outside the cloister walls, and for thc most of them thc round of offices was thc main business of thc day: to sleep in thc dormitory, to feed in Refectory, to sit and talk or doze in the Cloister' to sing service in the Cathedral— this was the daily life of an average monk. There were six services each day, at which all were expected to be present, unless hindered by other duties, and a midnight service as well. One can not, however, destroy individual character, and offices were therefore multiplied, so that the more active minds might be employed for thc benefit of the community ; nevertheless, 50 Introduction. the life was intensely communistic ; no man had a corner to himself, unless it were the Prior, or, perhaps, a few of the Obedientiaries, who, like the Sacrist, might have a garden of their own. For the dull men the Cloister was rest and a haven of peace, very much to be preferred to the rough life of the world outside ; for the social men it secured a sense of comradeship and club-life, nowhere else to be found ; for the few clever men it provided active careers, in the Plordarian's office, or the Receiver's, or in the Schoolroom with the Choir-boys, or in the Scriptorium, where MSS. had to be copied or carefully and minutely illuminated. Many an artistic monk contentedly spent the best part of a lifetime bending over a single important manuscript, sometimes (as we see in the case of the beautiful Cathedral Bible of the twelfth century) leaving behind him after all an unfinished work, which has re mained ever since with the blank spaces calling for the master-hand, or has been disfigured by the rash efforts of some later and inferior artist. 2. — The Precentor, the officer in highest authority in the Church itself, next demands our attention. He was apparently selected by the Prior, with advice of the Sub- Prior and other Priors, together with the older men of the Convent, who formed, as we learn elsewhere, a Council to aid the Prior in his judgments [Winchester Cath. Arch. No. cccxxiii, " Prior cum avisamento consilii sui"]. Consent was also given in full Chapter, so • as to secure the participation of the whole body of brethren. Thus appointed, the Precentor undertook the arrangement of all services in the Church, and presided over the singers, leading them by hand and voice. In processions he marched at the head, wearing a special cap, and carrying a staff in his hand, " richly arrayed, and to be likened to a General at the head of his troops." The Alphonsine Laws, I. tit. 6., 1. 5, thus describe his duties:— "He must lead, or begin, the responses, hymns, and other canticles, in processions or in Church ; he must order what each man has to read or sing ; to him shall Acolytes, Lectors, and Psalmists be obedient." The Pre- I Introduction. Si ^ IS t y centor had also sharp disciplinary powers, as we learn from the De Obedientiariis Abbendonia (p. 370), where we read that " if he find the boys fibbing, or notices carelessness in the Choir, he shall tweak the boys' ears, shall pluck their hair, shall smite them with the fist ! " The Precentor was often a ,man of poetic and literary temperament ; such was Wblstan or Wulfstan, Precentor of St. Swithun's in the days of St. yEthelwold, who wrote a marvellous account of the tenth century organ in very tolerable hexameters. As he had to arrange the Service-books, he often was also Armarius or Librarian ; he also wrote out the " Tables " whether for the Mass, or for the Lections in Refectory. And for all these labours he not only had much honour and praise, but also on his feast-day kept a very special and magnificent O. Thus we read in the Consuetudines that at St. Swithun's " the Precentor, and his comrades, who make the O, sit at the second collation near the entrance to the Refectory, and have a pitcher of wine and a ' punchard ' full of good sound beer wherewith to refresh themselves." In some Houses, as the man of letters, the Precentor had care of the " brevia de- functorum," and, in fact, acted as "Brevitor" to his Convent, as we find was the case at Canterbury. 3. — While the Sacrist had to see that all was in order with a view to Divine Service, and the Precentor to take care that the services were duly and musically performed, there appears to have been a third officer, a large part of whose duties lay in Church. We have no trace of him at St. Swithun's, though it is more than probable that he existed there, for the framework of all Benedictine Houses was the same, or almost the same, whether in the matter of buildings or officials. This personage had the curious title of the " Circa," the " Roundabout," who patrolled Cloister and Church. In St. Dunstan's Concordia Regidaris (quoted in Dugdale's Monasticon, Ed. 1846, I, p, xli) we read that this officer is to have charge " under the Dean " of the whole Cloister, and is named "Circa" "ab officio circuitus," his duty of patrol. He was bound to go round e 2 5? Introduction. the premises and act as policeman to the brethren ; " ne fuerint accidiosi aut alicui vanitati dcditi." This curious word "accidiosus" from accidia or acedia, is like a window through which we can look into a gloomy chamber. It is a Greek word, uKtjSia, aKi']&ei,a, slothfulness, indifference ("incuria" is thc proper Latin for it), "Est tffidium et anxietas cordis, qure infcstat Anachoretas et vagos in solitudine Monachos." Prior Guy of the ' Chartreuse ' says "Apprehendit te multotics, cum solus es in cella, inertia quaedam, languor spiritus, taxlium cordis quoddam, et quidem valde grave fastidium sentis in teipso ; tu tibi oneri es ; interna ilia qua tarn feliciter uti solebas suavitas jam defecit tibi ; dulcedo qua; tibi inerat heri et nudius- tertius, jam in magnam amaritudinem versa est, etc." In the Regida S. Benedicti (c. 48), the point of it is touched, " Ne forte inveniatur Frater accidiosus, qui vacet otio et fabulis, et non sit intentus lectioni." We see why the " tristitia and ta;dium " of thc Accidiosus is coupled in St. Dunstan's " Concordia,'' with " alicui vanitati deditus." The danger of this unwholesome state of spirit and mind was of course much greater in the hermit-like life of the Carthusian, than in the social life in community practised by the Benedictine. In some of the Houses there were several of these internal policemen, " so many," say the Constitutions of Archbishop Lanfranc, "as may be needed, of the better and more prudent sort chosen out of the whole convent." They were never to step outside the Convent walls, only to glance and peep through the doors, in order to sec if any of the monks were lounging about outside, gossiping and chattering; they were specially ordered to go round the Crypts, to see if anyone were sleeping quietly there by himself alone, and if so, to wake him and make him rejoin the community, for the Convent dreaded nothing more than the solitary life. They were also instructed to do a little eavesdropping ; if they saw any knot of monks, two or more, in earnest con versation together, they were to pass by them without a word, but with ears pricked up and senses all alert to catch the tenour of their talk. Introduction. 53 Beside looking after these torpid gossipers, the Circa had to go round thc Cloisters and gather up any codices or vestments which might have been carelessly left about, and sec them properly returned to their places. Lastly, at thc third and fourth Lection in Church, he had to patrol the Choir with a lantern while the service was going on. And if he found a brother oppressed with sleep, he was to set down the lantern before the culprit, and return to his place. The light in the erring brother's face, and may be a little friendly shaking, soon opened thc sleeping eyes; and then the offender, "throwing off drowsiness," was bidden to fall on his knees and pray for pardon ; then he had to take up the lantern and in his turn "pergyret et ipse Chorum," till, if he had the luck to find another brother drenched in sleep, he might treat him likewise, and so return to his own place. The mid night service, the dim figures of the monks half seen by the glimmer of a few tapers, the lantern-bearing brother gliding hither and thither silently, bring forcibly to one's imagination medieval usages and ideas as to the worship of God, and give a glimpse of the self-denial involved in it on the part of those who were set aside for prayer and meditation in the midst of a rough and careless world. 4. — One other officer was immediately connected with the Church itself, the " Anniversarian." Pie was a monk charged with the yearly commemoration of certain founders and benefactors of the Church and Monastery. These ceremonies involved a considerable outlay, and to meet this the rent of the Manor of Bishopstone in Wiltshire, together with the proceeds of Courts with View of Frank pledge held in that place, were assigned to the office. These amounted in all to £17. 15.?. \\d. at the end of thc fourteenth century ; the modern value of the Manor and its Courts would be about £213. From the statement of the outgoings we learn who were the persons commemorated on their days. They were Richard (Toclyve), Plenry (of Blois), and Godfrey (Lucy), Bishops of Winchester. Bishop Richard had both founded 54 Introduction. Introduction. 55 the Hospital of St. Mary Magdalen, on the east side of the city, and had granted to the Cathedral the Manors of " Cnoel," and Hamme ; of these the latter is still in posses sion of the Dean and Chapter of Winchester. Bishop Henry founded St. Cross, and restored to the Cathedral Church sundry manors which had been alienated from it, besides adding gifts of his own. And Bishop Godfrey will ever be remembered in the Cathedral for the fine Early English work which he introduced into the part of the Church beyond the east end of the Choir. The Anniversarian, on the feast days of these three Bishops, distributed large quantities of bread to the poor, and paid the Depositarians a heavy fee ; he also gave money to the " Warden,' the " Depositarians," and the Chaplains who were on the " Table of the Mass, " doubtless to sing Masses for the souls of these benefactors ; for this they received weekly the sum of icW. The two Students at Oxford also came in for a gratuity of 5*. once a year. These were the " accustomed charges," amounting in all to £11. 4s. Sd. The miscellaneous charges and presents, which came to £6. $s. Sd, are curious and varied ; as wine for the Prior, etc., on feast days, and beer for the boys' festival on Holy Innocents' Day; gifts to the Prior, etc., at the time of St. Giles' Fair. Other outgoings dealt with the business of the Manor, and with expenses for the Annivers arian, in his quality of Warden of Bishopstone, for his outfit, parchment, candles, shirt, shoes, etc. He seems in 1395 to have spent twelve weeks on the estate ; no doubt helping to till and manage it. It was clearly a delightful change for a monk, if he had country tastes, to be able to spend a quarter of the year farming and superintending his estate. Lastly, the Anniversarian paid lis. yd. to the Abbot of Stoneleigh, or to the Prior of Bradenstoke, on behalf of the Manor of Bishopstone, as his share of the tenth voted to the king by the convocation of the clergy this year. This item just brought the account wrong; the Anniversarian spent 5.5. 4d. more this year than he had received. The Rolls make frequent mention of officers who are r" styled the " Depositarians." Their duty was to receive the dead bodies of the monks, or of other persons privileged to be buried in Church or Cloister, and to prepare them for burial. The name comes from a special use of the word " depositio," which signifies in Monastic Latin the burying of a Saint, as we have it in the " Translatio et depositio S. Swithuni." 5. — Between the two classes of officials, those of the Church, and those of the House, we may place the " Warden of Works," the Custos Operum, who had the charge of all the Conventual buildings, and belongs accord ingly to both groups. Of this Obedientiary we unfortunately have only two Rolls ; how many interesting facts about thc Cathedral Church and other edifices should we have learnt had the Custos been as well represented as the Hordarian or the Almoner! The two Rolls are dated, the one, 1408, the other, a very late one, 1532-3. Brother John Hurst, Custos Operum in 1408, begins with a receipt of arrears of £2. 10s. 6%V. He had for his support the contiguous Manors of Nursling or Nutshalling and Millbrook, in the neighbourhood of Southampton, together with a small revenue from the shepherd of Wyn- manstone, a property now called Wimpson, on the skirts of Millbrook and Nursling, and about half a mile north of Redbridge ; 4s. also as a rent from thc City of Winchester. Payments he received from Churches, Kingsclere, Dorking, and Whitley, which brought him in 305-. ; and Thomas atte Brygge of Basing, brother of Robert of Basing, one of the monks, left him as a legacy for his office thc sum of £$. 6s. Sd. From other sources he received £2, so that, including the arrear-money, his whole income this year amounted to £66. os. 2-V^d. (say .6800). With this sum he saw to all necessary repairs and alter ations within the Convent. He sent wine five times to thc Prior ; took out for himself a fee of 10s. for being on the " Table of the Mass," and gave similar fees to others ; sent wine and beer to certain monks on great occasions, and a knife-money courtesy to the Prior, Sub-Prior, and Third so Introduction. Introduction. $7 Prior at Fair time ; and paid other similar charges. Also he gave his workmen, his plumber, glazier, carpenter, mason, tiler, servant or Serjeant of the House, serjeant of the Manor, and warden of the Warren, their " robes," or pieces of cloth of his " suit," twelve ells to each ; he also found pay for several dependents. The costs of his own house and of farming were considerable ; also the Prior had £4 from him for Nursling meadows ; the porter received 6s. Sd. for a garden in the Close called La Joye ; the two Oxford scholar-monks had 10s. In tenths to the Crown, and towards the cost of sending Clerks to Rome from the King, he paid the large sum of £3. 8s. 6%d. His total outgoing was £64. iot. l^d., and he leaves off with a favourable balance of £1. gs. 8-%d. It is obvious that the buildings within the precinct did not receive much attention, or demand much outlay, this year. When, however, more than a century later, William Frost had charge of this office in 1532-3, the annual income being much the same, £62. 16s. gd. (in which must be reckoned a large sum in arrcar, which greatly swells the amount), the outgoings were far larger, and the Roll much more interesting.being full of details respecting the buildings. At the close of his time Brother William left .£33. iij. Sd. in the hands of the Prior, who undertook to administer, the office. Unfortunately we have no Rolls which tell us how he carried out his intention. II.— The Obedientiaries who looked after the various offices of the House itself were naturally far more numerous than those of the Church. Each division had its own head, usually one of the brethren. Of these the most important were (6) the Prior's Receiver, and (7) the Hordarian ; for through their hands passed the main part of the Revenues of the House ; on their discretion and diligence, in fact, depended the welfare and even the solvency of the com munity. 6. — The office of Receiver, a title which has continued down to our day, does not appear to have been usual in Benedictine Monasteries. Du Cange makes no reference % \ in ;; p \ "" s ' 1 ' M 1 ! ' to any such person ; he finds no place in the minute directions of Archbishop Lanfranc ; and Mr. Fox, in his Monks and Monasteries, in a chapter describing the normal staff of a Benedictine Plouse, recognises no such official. It is most probable that he was originally a kind of private secretary or treasurer to the Prior, and was not considered to be a true Obedientiary. However this may be, at Winchester he is styled " Receptor Scaccarii Prioratus Wyntonias," not " scaccarii Prioris," and as such he received the rents, etc., not of the Prior's Manors, but of those belonging to the Convent itself; he had to account for the main income of the House, and was a general Treasurer, not a private assistant to my Lord the Prior. His duties are very clearly marked out in the long Roll of 1335, in the days of Alexander Heryard's Priorate (1325— 1349). At this time John of Merlawe (who, on Alexander's death, succeeded to the dignity of Prior) was' Receiver. We may be sure he was one of the most trust worthy officers of thc Monastery. The Roll makes it clear that much lay on his shoulders ; no man could venture to undertake the duties of this office, unless he were a good man of business, and in every way worthy of confidence. The great sums of money which passed yearly through his hands ; thc heavy liabilities he had to meet ; the loans he was compelled to contract with foreign merchants ; the vast variety and extent of his purchases in wines, spices, furs, robes, and a miscellaneous multitude of articles ; the large quantities to be provided for the use of the Convent kitchen ; the fees, stipends, gratuities, repairs, refurnishing of buildings, etc. ; the heavy payments of tenths and pro curations ; — all these things, here displayed in detail on our Roll, give a most vivid picture of the practical business of a community-life, and of the anxieties, and even embarrass ments, surrounding it. St. Swithun's had no such crisis to pass through as that which faced Abbot Samson at Bury St. Edmonds, when he took into his own hands the administra- , tion of the offices of Cellarer and Guest- master, and so brought his House out of a state of insolvency. Still, 53 Introduction. at St. Swithun's, also, there were, as this Roll shews, con siderable difficulties in money matters, which must have given no small cause of anxiety to the Prior. The estates, with their wool, brought in to hi m £g6g. 10s. n}{d. in the year 1335; "minute" receipts, arising from the residual products of the brevvhouse and kitchen came to £18. 12s. id. ; £4. is. 4d. were received from sale of corn ; and from green wax, and farm of the livings of Hoghton and Mapeldurham, £71. The sale of lands and tenements to John of Winterbourne brought in £195. 6s. 8d., a sum which certainly ought never to have been applied to the yearly expenditure. The total receipt came to £1263. os. o}£d, and beside this the Convent had to borrow £192. is. 2d. ; so that the grand total of receipts amounted to £1455. is. 2^d. If from this we deduct the loan, £192. is. 2d., two years of the farm of Hoghton Church, £20. lis. 4d., against which there stands a payment of £ll. 6s. Sd., and £195. 6s. Sd. received for sale of lands and tenements, which sum belongs, as we should now say, to the capital account, the real income of the Receiver's office still comes to the large sum of £1047. os. oy^d. This amounts, in money of to-day, to about £12,500, as the natural yearly income dedicated to this office, On the other side of the account we begin, unhappily, with a " surplusagium," or deficit, of £331. 17s. 6-%d., so that the office was behindhand to the extent of about one- third of its year's income, a debt large enough in all con science, yet not heavy enough to be fatal to solvency. It is bad to see that, in spite of the absorption of the loan, the two-years' farm of Ploghton, and the purchase-money of the lands and tenements sold, the adverse balance at the end of the year was still £247. 10s. 8-%.d. This is an apparent improvement of £84. 6s. !0}(d. But in fact the Convent had really drifted farther into debt this year. It is fair to add, first, that thc House probably had some considerable portion of the wine, robes, spices, and furs, bought in the year still in stock ; or that, if these things were bought for re-sale in thc spicery, etc., on St. Giles1 Introduction. 59 Hill at the Fair, the income thence accruing does not appear in this account ; also, that in this year the Receiver paid off (1) the purchase money for the farm of Mapel durham Church, £60, and (2) £200 to a certain " mercator de Chochia," a loan repaid. Thus, to sum up, it appears clearly that — (1) The apparent improvement was £84. 6s. io^d. (2) But the following sums were brought into account : — Loan £192 3 2 Two years of Hoghton 20 13 4 Sale of lands, etc. 195 6 8 Per contra : Mapeldurham £60 0 0 Loan repaid 200 0 0 £408 260 3 2 0 0 £148 84 3 2 6 101 Apparent improvement ... Deficit and the, final position of things was that the Convent had gone back £63. 16s. 3^, unless, indeed, it had wine, etc., in stock, to set against this deficit. We unfortunately have no complete series of Rolls for any one year, or we might see whether in other offices there was deficit or balance, and so learn how far the whole body politic was advancing in the perilous way of debt. Wc must remember that £63. 16^.334'^ represents in present money about £765. It is clear that this deficit might easily have been avoided (assuming that it is a deficit, and not made up by assets of wine, etc.) by smaller purchases of goods, and smaller "pensiones"; £92. 4s. spent on wine is a very large sum ; and when we remember that at St. Alban's the monks consented to forego wine altogether for fifteen years, in order to find funds for rebuilding their Refectory and Dormitory, we can see that things might have been much better arranged. We know, however, from thc " Refectory Customs " of St. Swithun's, that the monks, as a rule, drank beer ; it was only at the Prior's table and that of honoured guests, and before the Precentor on great occasions, that wine was set. And, as 6o Introduction. Introduction. 6l we know that the Convent drove a large trade at St. Giles' Fair in robes, spices, and wine, we may assume that much of this £1000 worth of wine was intended for sale, and not for home consumption. A considerable quantity of these good things came into use within the Monastery walls, for, as a medical friend writes to me, " The ' Spiceries ' so largely used were part of the old botanic medicines, in which spices and pepper, and sugar, were not articles of diet, but parts of the Pharmacy. The principal ailments of the Monastic and Cathedral life were neuralgia, rheumatism, sciatica, rheumatic gout, and kindred diseases, brought about by living and serving in the great damp and unwarmed buildings through thc winter time ; hence the reason for furs. Fasting also led to much illness ; and our great com forters, tea, coffee, and cocoa, were unknown, and drugged and spiced wines had to take their place, when the chilled and congested liver, kidneys, and stomach, were unable to take the gross food of the age." Thc wine, seventy-six casks of red, and two pipes of white, came probably from Bordeaux, and was no doubt claret, that wine being most commonly drunk in England till the fiscal arrangements of last century dis couraged French wines, and opened the door for the stronger Spanish and Portuguese vintages. The account deals with the expenses of the kitchen ; the meat bill had been rendered in weekly accounts, and amounted to £104. lis. iod., or almost exactly £2 (£24) a week. The House consumed nearly two carcases a day ; also, in the year, 11,300 white herrings and 42,0100 red herrings, which were bought at such prices that,, taking one shilling as equal to twelve shillings now, the white herrings were at the time-honoured price of one penny a piece ; the red her rings were somewhat dearer, being (in our money), over a penny and one-third a piece. We shall see when wc deal with thc " Diet Rolls " how considerable was thc variety of fish consumed. The monks had apparently no cakes or puddings or tarts, but, on occasions, dried figs and raisins. The only detail about the meat consumed is found in thc S i ' 1' last item, " Paid to the woman who prepared and cleaned the intestines, etc., of pigs and other animals slaughtered within the Priory, 2s. iod.," no very high fee for the work. The total expense for the kitchen, including quantities of salt, charcoal, oil, and new vessels in brass, came to £251. 16s. o%d., or nearly £4. 17s. a week (say £$8 a week). It must be borne in mind that at this time the community was large, with about sixty-four brethren, and many domestics and others ; also, that guests were rarely wanting. Still, anyhow, the cost of living, rough and limited as it doubtless was, strikes us as very high. The " ordinary outgoings " contain many interesting items. On All Souls' Day, on the obits of four of thc monks, and on the Anniversary day of Queen Emma, bread to the value of £1 each time was bought by the Receiver and distributed to thc poor ; at these times all Winchester must have had enough and to spare : when we remember that other officers also distributed bread, and that the other Religious Houses were doing the same, more or less, we wonder that the population did not increase far more rapidly, and cease to feel any astonishment at the taint of beggary and corruption which so long clung to the ancient city. Among many gifts we may notice £2. is. id. to the minstrels for their music on the great days, Christmas, Easter, Whitsuntide, the Translation of St. Swithun, etc. The Receiver's payments for the O of the Prior, Curtarian, and others, demand one word of explanation. The O, as has often been explained, was an Antiphon or Devotion (not a regular service), beginning with O. Of such there were originally but seven, and others were added, from time to time, till there were as many as eighteen, all "beautiful little prayers, the loss of which, in their evangelic warmth and devotion, is much to be regretted." These were sung before the great festivals by different personages in the Monastery ; the Abbot (at St. Swithun's the Bishop as Abbot) said the first, the well-known " O Sapientia," the Prior thc second, " O Adonai " ; the others were suited to Thus thc Gardener sang " O radix thc several offices. 62 Introduction. Jesse," and the key-bearing Cellarer " O Clavis." After the O had been sung, each singer had an allowance made him for a feast, which he gave apparently to all who had been in the choir " with wine, white and red, and claret and Cretan wine, and with a roaring fire in the midst of the chamber." So at St. Swithun's the Prior had \6s. Sd. for his O by way of "pittance," as well as an allowance of wine and bread ; and the Curtarian and the " Berthonarius " (the Steward of the great manor of Barton or Chilcombe) had each 13J. 4d. Light is thrown on this point of the ' allowance for a feast, by the Rites of Durham, published by the Surtees Society (p. 75). There we learn that the Master of the Novices kept his O once a year (and, as he was school master, it appears to have been an " O Sapientia,") and there was a " solemn banquet which the Prior and Convent used at that time only ; it was of figs and raisins, ale and cakes, and thereof no superfluity or excess, but a scholastical.and moderate congratulation among themselves." 7. — With this long and interesting Roll we ought to couple that of the Plordarian for the next year ; for Prior Alexander Heryard had taken the office (in the matter of expenditure, the most important of all after the Receiver's) into his own hands, and had given over the management of it to John of Merlawe, the Receiver, so securing some solid control over perplexed matters of finance, by entrusting income and expenditure to the same hands. The business of the Hordarian, or Brother set over thc " Hoard " (which was the hoard, not of money, but of perishables, the larder in fact), was mainly to see to the supplies of food for the kitchen. Plis office was maintained by the rents of seven Manors, and lesser rentals from houses or portions of land. The Manors were : — Bleadon, in Somerset, Hyneton and Wolvrichstone in Wiltshire ; Exton, Avington, Hodyngton, and Brandesbury in Hampshire. The smaller rents were from "la Lyghe" in Hoghton Manor; from " Kayho " near Braynford ; and from the gains of the " Gurges," or fishpool, at the same place. The total manorial income was .£288. 17s. $%d., or say £3500. Added to Introduction. Ol x- 1 Cj f 1 ,j" ¦.. this was a very interosting source of income, arising from letting houses and stalls in " Goudebyete," that curious Liberty in the High Street of Winchester, which in the nett amounted this year only to 4s. Sd. For the gross income was chargeable with 24s. 4d. to the Convent Cook; the Warden of the Altar of the Virgin had 2s. ; the Chaplains of the Frarie and " thc Kalendar," i8.r. ; and Philip Aubyn, 7s. ; to say nothing of repairs done to the buildings this year. It is not to be wondered that the Prior should have taken up this office into his own hands, for there was an adverse balance at the beginning of the year of £228. 10s. $d., while the total income was only £289. 2s. 1 %d., and every day the Hordarian had to provide the Cook with iy. 4d., which swallowed up £243. 6s. Sd. ; his other expenses, evidently cut down with a rigorous hand, amounted to only £l5.9s.?d., so that his total outgoing came to £278. 16s. id. ; and the consequence is that the year shows a diminution of over £10 in the adverse balance. It is interesting to note, from other Rolls in our custody, that this debt was steadily diminishing. In 1327 (the year of Edward Ill's accession), it had been £369. i3s. 6}^d.; by 1330 it had dropped to £324. is.g}(d.; in 1333 it was £2<,o.is.8d.; in 1334, £234. 1 j. 3^.; in 1335, £228. 10^.5^. in 1336 it dropped to £218. 4s. 6}£d. ; and in 1337 to £210. 1 1 s. i%d. At the end of the account for 1337, we read that " my Lord Brother Alexander the Prior, acquitted and paid this debt towards sundry debtors and creditors ; and so dismissed the office of Hoarder sufficiently well stocked at Michaelmas, 1337 ; and it is entirely freed from the above adverse balance." It is worth while to note that the House had a Prior who had sufficient property of his own, and sufficient generosity, to be able to make the Convent a free gift of no less a sum than about £2500 of our money. 8. — The consideration of these ways and means for the daily life of the House naturally brings us to the officer in charge of the Refectory, the " Refectorian." No Roll of his income and outgoings exists at Winchester ; and it is 64 Introduction. Introduction. 65 probable that he had no estate, and no need for a Compotus at all. We can, however, gather something as to his duties from the Consuetudinary of St. Swithun's Refectory already quoted, and these confirm the view that his outgoings must have been very small. The keeping up of the monks' Refectory was no doubt costly, but at St. Swithun's this was borne by different officers. Thus, the "Custos Operum" saw to the repairs, etc., of the structure ; the Prior provided, as we have seen, bread and cheese, beer, wine, and salt, butter twice a week, mats for the tables, and straw for the floor seven times a year ; the Chamberlain found a new linen cloth for the High Table once a year, and canvas cloths for the other tables from time to time, napkins also to wipe the cups of silver and of wood. He also provided the Refectorian with a new and warm cloak or monk's cowl each Michaelmas. The Sacrist sent in such wax tapers as were needed for light in the winter months, and a pound of wax on " Purification Day,1' for thc Refectorian's use. The Gardener found the Refectory in fruit, apples mainly, for Advent and Lent. The Warden of the Altar of the Blessed Virgin Mary also found wax tapers at certain times. The Cellarer gave the light before the Cross, and other needful lights ; he also repaired all vessels and utensils out of the rents formerly bequeathed to the Holy Cross in the Refectory (the famous Cross which came to St. Dunstan's help so long before) ; he also gave the Refectorian a cowl once a year. The Curtarian had to provide bread and the wax tapers on the High Table ; he also fed the Refectorian's servant. The cleaning out was done by the Porter. As for the Refectorian himself, we learn that the Convent allowed him a valet to be at his service ; he had (in return for two rents, one of eighteen pence on a house apparently near Winnal Church, the other, from the Warden of the Altar of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Hyde Abbey, for a house in Parchment Street or in Fishmonger Street, now St. Peter's Street, in Winchester), to provide lights for the seven Branches burning before the Cross in the Refectory, when ever these had to be kindled. He had also charge of the V Cup of St. jEthelwold, with two pitchers of wine provided by the Curtarian, on the Deposition Day of that Saint. His business was also to collect the spoons, knives, table cloths, and salt-cellars, and these were cleaned for 4^., which was found, not by him, but by the Prior. He had also to find fifteen wax tapers for the chandelier which hung before the Refectory Cross on Maundy Thursday. Lights also he had to provide "ad potationem," at the evening " bever " of the monks, down to All Saints' Day. Finally, we see that the Curtarian had to allow the Refec torian a number of customary gifts, etc., which were to be " allowed to the Refectorian in his Account Roll," a passage which looks as if the Refectorian really did have to render an account. We do not find, on consulting the " Consuetudines in Refectorio " (p. 20), that our Refectorian was made charge able, as Mr. Fox, in Monks and Monasteries (pp. 149-150), says his office was, with the cost of the knives and forks, the table-cloths, mats, and many other utensils required in the Refectory. The Consuetudines define the several duties of the Obedientaries carefully, so far as they relate to the Common Hall ; and we learn from them (p. 21) that the task of providing, or at least of repairing, the vessels, fell to the Cellarer. The customs varied in different Houses ; thus, the " Order Book " of St. Victor at Paris bears out the larger account of the Refectorian's duties, as given by Mr. Fox. " For breakfast and supper," it says, " he must prepare the tables, put on the bread, wine, and vegetables, and find seats for the brethren from abroad." Another early authority says that it was his duty to " provide all things needful for use or ornament in the Refectory : table- linen, canisters (or bread-baskets), decanters, wooden cups, and cups of glass, spoons, and candlesticks." Under the Refectorian's eye was the Kitchener, that is, the Cook, with his underlings. As originally the Cook was one of the brethren, he had a seat at the High Table at meals on the Prior's left hand, and gave the sign to thc reader of the day, as well as to the monks, to let them know 66 Introduction. when they might begin to eat and drink. In thc Abingdon Customs we note that the Kitchener is an important person ; he must be " humble of heart, benign in spirit, teeming with loving-kindness, sparing to himself, bounteous to others, he must be the solace of the sad, refuge of the sick, sober, cautious, the shield of the needy, thc father and patron of all the congregation of this House " ; he is also charged daily to visit the sick, so as to learn " how they may be, and what they may crave," that he may learn how to send them such food from the Refectory as may tempt their poor appetites. In some Houses he seems also to have been bound to provide all the fish consumed. From the Refectorian and Kitchener it is natural to pass directly to that which must have occupied them continually, — the diet of the brethren. Although, un happily, we have no perfect record of a year's food, we possess a couple of very valuable Diet Rolls, which give us a full account of the manner of the monks' daily fare in Refectory. Both these Rolls have lost the first skin ; there is, however, a Colophon at the end of the earlier, which gives us the date of it. This Roll ran from Michael mas, 1492, to Whitsuntide, 1493, and the cost for that period was £108. 2s. iod. Assuming that there was no change in the rate of living for thc rest of the year, the total table expenses for a twelvemonth would be about £17$. In 1336, when there were about 64 monks, the cost as defrayed by the Hordarian for the Kitchener W3is£2i4,6s.8d. ; in 1493, when there were not more than 35 brethren, it was ,£175 ; so that there had been little change in the cost of living in the Convent during the century and a half that had elapsed. These Diet Rolls tell us exactly what was the manner of meals the monks enjoyed at breakfast and supper, their two serious times of eating and drinking. It will be re membered that the Roll takes no count of vegetables, nor does it refer at all to the quantities of beer or other drink allowed. Let us take one or two days as specimens ; an average day, a great feast day, and a fast day. Introduction. 07 On thc Monday next before Christmas Day, 1492, the brethren at their two meals sat down to thc following fare. They had moile (a dish of marrow and grated bread) ; 170 eggs ; nombles, or numblcs (thc flesh of a deer, taken from the tenderest parts, usually from the inside of the thigh) as a kind of entree; "gross meat,1' or beef; mutton; calves' feet ; meat for a special dish for the Third Prior and Hordarian, as well as for thc Sub-Prior. The Prior did not dine in Hall except on very special occasions. These extra dishes set apart for the officials were a kind of per quisite and reward, and a sign of dignity in return for thcir toil, so making their posts enviable and desired. Thc total cost of this day's dinner was Ss. 4^., or about £$ in our money. On Christmas Day, on which one would expect a plentiful and open table, the difference is singularly small, the total reaching only 10s. gd. Thc bill of fare was : — stuffed vegetables (seasoned, that is, with spices, pepper, etc.) ; 210 eggs; nombles ; bryson or burson (that is, brose, "panis jure intinctus," bread soaked in the dripping of the roasting meat) ; sew (i.e., onion-broth) ; beef and mutton ; extras for thc Sub-Prior and Hordarian ; together with a gift of wine, worth 1 jr. 3^,, to my Lord Prior, who of course dined that day in Hall. So that thc actual difference in the cost of the two days was only that of gs. 6d. against Ss. 4d. (or £$. 14s. against £5). On thc other hand, on days of strict fast, as on the Friday in Passion Week, they had the following fare before them : — green mullweli (salt fish) ; figs and raisins ; rice as an extra ; mustard ; in all 5^. gi/d, which was less by 2s. 6)4d. than an ordinary day. Owing however to thc high cost of fish, on many fast days the expense of the meals was considerably heavier than on an average day. Thc charge for mustard, \%d., runs through all thc fast days ; it would appear that during the time of a meagre indigestible fish diet, thc brethren needed something to warm and stay their poor stomachs. The Diet Rolls shew that, though thc bills of fare are somewhat monotonous, the terrible F 2 68 Introduction, sameness of an entirely unchanging diet from week's end to week's end was not felt at St. Swithun's. It is probable that this Monastery enjoyed a considerably better diet than was to be found elsewhere. Taking the general condition and level of food throughout the country, the brethren did not fare amiss even in the hungriest times ; in those days it was given to but few to have " their meals regular," the husbandman's dinner at its best was less plentiful, less choice, and less varied than theirs. It must not be forgotten, too, that these brethren were not poor labouring folk, but were taken rather from the upper middle class. It is difficult to be sure what quantity of meat each monk had for his consumption on an ordinary day, as we do not know the prices of the time in the locality ; we may however guess from the sums mentioned for the two meals, taking the price of meat at Sd. or gd. a pound (i.e., about y±d. then), that they had at the two meals about forty-four pounds of "butcher's meat." At the date of our Roll (1492-3) there were probably about 32 brethren ; in 1482-3 there had been 33 brethren, and then 31 ; in 1495 there were only 29 ; whence we may conclude that the allowance came to about a pound and a half of meat a day for each person. It must not be forgotten that many of the dependents of the Monastery fed on the remains, "the crumbs that fell from their Master's table "; still, making all allowance, the provision of meat was large. The Rolls have no entries as to bread, vegetables, beer, which were provided independently, as were also butter and cheese. We may fairly conclude that, rough and coarse as the living may have been, there was plenty of it, and in sufficient variety for health. It is time we passed to a group of Obedientiaries of great importance,— the officers charged with the internal or domestic administration of affairs. These were more par ticularly the Chamberlain, the Cellarer, the Curtarian, the Almoner, the Infirmarian, the Master of Novices, the Keeper of thc Domus Convcrsorum, thc Gardener, the Brevitor, and, it may be, one or two more. Some of these have left behind Introduction. 69 them very little trace in our MSS, and will require only a short treatment ; others, through their Rolls here printed have given us fuller information respecting themselves and their duties, and will deserve a more lengthened study. 8.— Thc Chamberlain, thc " Camcrarius," took his name from thc "Camera," or Treasury of the Monastery, and was said to be the " receiver and dispenser of all considerable sums of money which came in." This definition demands no snght modification. For at St. Swithun's the "Camerarius " did not receive a tithe of the income ; his total receipt in 1417 was £7g. 3s. S-V2d., being made up of £55. 14s. fr0m Westmcon Manor, ,and £ig from the Manor of Hamme (both Manors being held on farm on a five years' lease) • and m smaller sums, 3os. for sale of corn ; £2.

Out of this sum thc Chamberlain paid Liveries to the Bishop, the Prior (who had £3. 6s. Sd.), and £6. 6s. Sd. to 38 brethren (3s. 4d. each), on All Saints' Day ; and similar payments at the Purification of the Virgin Mary on Ascension Day, and the Day of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary: so that each brother received from him lis. 4d. a year. He also paid the boys in the School (two or three of them only) £1. 3s. 4d. He also defrayed the cost of shaving and keeping trim the tonsures and beards of the Convent, a ceremony which took place about once in ten days (there were 36 "Rasturav in thc year, and the cost of the whole was 4* 6d.l). Also he provided towels in thc Cloister, and other small charges. He next enumerates thc payments to himself as Warden of his Manors, and to his servants, 20s.

And now follow the interesting items of this Account After setting down a rent of 20,-. 6d. paid to Crondale Manor for lands, etc., formerly belonging to John of Basyngc m Westmeon, and lately acquired for the Chamberlain from W.lham of Wykeham, in return for a similar amount previously payable to that Manor by the Bishop for lands and buddings formerly called Moyne in Depenhale and lately included in Farnham Park, he goes on to an im portant item : he pays the Prior, as a charge on the newly acqu.red property at Westmeon, 24*. Sd, in lieu of the rent of a certain mead named " Dummeresmedc" (or Donneresmede), formerly belonging to the Prior (not to the Convent), but lately devised to William of Wykeham m order that he might build his College thereon. He also pays to the Bishop, as a charge on Westmeon Manor ils.4d, the former rent payable to the Bishop for Dummers- mead, and similarly 2s. to St. Elizabeth's Chapel. He also had to hold the Almoner clear of loss by this transaction • lor that officer had a rental of gs. 4d. on certain lands and tenements m the Soke of Winchester, near the Floodstock Introduction. 71 (see map of S.E. Winchester on Frontispiece), which had been a so devised to the Bishop; the Infirmariun also received 3* 6d, and the Cook 2y4d., from the same source and for the same reason. Altogether this exchange of lands involved the perpetual payment, chargeable on the new estate, of £2. i3s. o% thc exchange had probably not involved the Chamberlain in any loss. For Westmeon he also had to pay £4. jSs, ^%d. to the Abbot of „ as Collector of one Royal Tenth; and to the Prior of St. Swithuns as Collector of a Twentieth, £1. us. 9Vd hor Hamme he paid £2. iSs. 6d. The Chamberlain had a poor record in the end: his outgoings exceeded his income by £11. 6s. $%d. According to Lanfranc, he had to find everything necessary for the clothing, bedding, cleanliness and shavin* of the Community: but we do not find any cha.-es for clothes or bedding in our Rolls.

In somc^Houses e 72 Introduction. Introduction. 71 had also the power of holding his own Courts, and of inflicting penalties on delinquents in the form of money payments ; a fact which indicates thc existence among the monks, as a rule, of a little private pocket-money. 9- — The next Obedientiary whom we have to consider, the Cellarer, was, in many places, regarded as the most important of all the domestic officers. It is unlucky that he is so badly represented in our Rolls, there being only two examples of his Accounts, and those both late (1485 and 149S), and both combined with thc less dignified office of Curtarian. In many Abbeys the Cellarer ranked next after thc Precentor, and had in his care the general arrangement and management of the domestic affairs of the Convent. So much of thc comfort of the Brethren depended on him that Lanfranc declares that "pater totius congrcgationis debet esse." He only, besides the Prior, was originally free from the duty of acting as Cook, and his office was deemed so important that' a special service, with its own suffrages and prayers, was drawn up for him. He is described as being " the Prior's right hand," and, in many Convents, he appears to have been what a College would style " Senior and Junior Bursar." Pie was helped in his office by two persons, one a layman, the " Granatarius," who looked after the granary, the wheat supply, etc., and who acted as his agent ; and the other the Receiver, who, as we know, took the rents and received all money due to the Convent as such. At St. Swithun's and elsewhere, as we may sec in the Decrees of the Benedictine Order, cap. viij, he had " to care for all things necessary for thc brethren in bread and drink, and divers kinds of food," and to provide all thc vessels required for the cellar, the kitchen, and the Refectory ; and for the last our " Consue tudines " give us an interesting inventory, namely " discos argenteos, salsaria argentea, cochlearia argentea, ciphos (scyphos) argenteos, et ciphos murrhinos (i.e., cups made of a valuable stone which had a pleasant odour, or perhaps, made of fine glass, which was then very valuable and beautiful), duas campanas in digno (two bells on the High !' i Table) tertiam juxta hostium, et cordas earum, omnes coronas (i.e., for candles) et cordas earum. Item, pelvem in qua portantur ciphi argentei et cochlearia ad dignum Item, tres pelves pendentes coram cruce." From this it will be seen that the monks, those at least at thc High lab e, had silver plates, goblets, and spoons, a fact which emphasises the social importance of the House and its members. In addition to all this, the Cellarer had a special duty, which throws light on some of the tastes of the age : he had to look after and feed •¦ animalia a diversis fratribus per multa tempora adquisita" (see Consuetudinary of St. Szvithun's, pp. 12, 22). None but people of high position and wealth could afford to buy such things • and the existence in the Monastery of these strange creatures queer pets, apes and peacocks, bears, and the like, not only indicates expensive tastes, but also a singular develop ment of private property ; for these beasts arc distinctly - sa.d to be bought, not by the brethren collectively but by '¦ divers brethren," each man for himself. Our Cellarer being also Curtarian, thc duties of the two offices clearly ran close together. For the Curtarian was 'a kind of Manciple to the House"; he had to give out bread, beer, etc., for consumption at table ; also the bread for doles ; he also looked after visitors and found them their food ; there lay on him, too, the curious and delicate duty (see Consuetudinary, p. 23) of attending to any monk of Hyde Abbey who may have fled to us as to a refuge, for any fault." Such a brother, however errin- was to be taken in and protected, and fed as if he were on" of themselves the House behaving to him "sicut uni dc Convent!!/' till he could be reconciled with his own Con vent It ,s a very curious entry, and points either to some seventy of discipline, or to some laxity of life, at Hyde t is rather surprising to find that thc brother in charge of these two very important offices had but a small income to support them with. Little rents in the Chesehill and 11, Southgate Street, Winchester, brought him ,8,. Sma payments for osiers, fishing dues at Bcrthon, the ent of 74 Introduction. meadow in Compton, and pasturage at Easton and Otter- bourne, came to £2. gs. 4d. ; sales of stores and " residuals " from the kitchen, such as skins, charcoal, etc., brought in ^"14. 2s. Sd. His total income reached only to .£22. 6s. l%d. We see from the outgoings where the Cellarer's duties lay. After paying 19s. 4^. in Courtesies, he had to provide, at an expense of ,£11. 14J. Sd., for all manner of kitchen charges ; there is an item of 14J. Sd. for repairs ; the bake house, brewery, and bread-room cost 19J. id.; the Curtarian's office, the Gardener, and thc Cook, among them took £2. Ss. id. ; wax, torches, tools for the tiler, mending of locks, potions for the horses, payment of the man who looked after the swans, repairs, the Curtarian's O, sugar, comfits, etc. ; these miscellaneous items amounted to £6. lgs. lOyid., one being a payment for stopping up the windows of " Kingsgate Church," which shews that thc Convent, and not the Parish of St. Swithun, looked to the repairs there: perhaps because the Monastery regarded the little church as part of the gate under their charge, or because it was the church in which the dependents and domestics of the Convent worshipped. The total out goings amounted to £23. 15J. 8}4d., so that even here there was a deficit of 29^. 5^. In all this we can discern but slight traces of Archbishop Lanfranc's benevolent desire that the Cellarer should always be " a father to the whole community, looking after and tending the sick and the hale." No doubt a conscientious Cellarer would be very careful that things should be comfortable and smoothly arranged Tor all, and would be specially anxious that the Infirmary food, etc., should be clean and nourishing. 10. — And as the Cellarer was to be fatherly at home, so, in theory at least, the Almoner was bound to be kindly and helpful to thc poor and needy without the walls. And yet one cannot help feeling a certain sense of surprise and disappointment, in going through our numerous Almoner's Rolls, at finding how very little they shew of any such benevolent care for the sick and suffering. It is Introduction. 7$ often said that the distress which followed after the Dis solution of the Monasteries in England was due to the sudden cutting-off of these ancient wells of benevolence. The truth seems rather to be that the clamour and distress then arose not so much from the cessation of the doles as from the dismissal, to find other work for which they were but ill-fitted, of a large number of easy-going hangers-on and dependents. It is also quite true that the abolition of the profuse distribution of doles of bread on obit-days, etc., at the Convent gates (and these not a few), must have seemed a terrible wrong to those who preferred the casual loaf to the regular wage. Yet, in the main, the end of this promiscuous charity was a wholesome, though painful, remedy for existing ills. One may not have much sympathy for those who stepped into the place of the monks ; yet so far as the distribution of charity and the encouragement of idle dependency goes, the change was healthy, and, in spite of some suffering and much clamour, worked wholesomely on the fortunes of the English body politic. To teach men to rely on their own industry and energies is the first and most important lesson in civilised life. "If any will not work, neither let him eat," is no hard-hearted modern aphorism ; it is a divine Word, which thc Convents in their later life did not fully understand. Still, one would have thought that the Almoner had for his special duty to watch over thc sick and helpless, to feed the needy traveller and speed him on his way ; and yet our Rolls give not the faintest sign of any such action on thc part of this good official. We can see in them little trace of the picturesque duties mentioned in Lanfranc's Rcgula, (Wilkin? Concilia, I. p. 350). "The Almoner must, in person, or through truthful and faithful men, make enquiry where the sick and infirm are lying ; and, if he goes himself to enquire, must take two servants with him ; then, before entering the house, he is to turn out all women into the street, and afterwards himself going in, shall console thc sick person blandly, offering him whatever he may have to give him. He is never to enter the houses of sick 70 Introduction. Introduction. 77 women, but is to send in by one of his servants anything he can spare for their solace' It was but a poor and maimed service of the sick, indicating anxiety rather for the reputation of the official than for thc welfare of the sufferer. The Almoner's manor of Hinton, about eight miles east of Winchester, both provided rent and payments in kind for the sustentation of the office, and also was a very favourite place of resort and change for that Obedientiary and his friends. The Rolls printed as an Appendix to this Introduction clearly shew this, and let us know that the Almoner and his friends were often there, consuming a good portion of the produce. In some years the Almoner spent a holiday of considerable length at Hinton. The monks appear to have ridden over on horseback, and thence home again. The expenses of the office are defrayed by the rent of Hinton manor, which in 13 12 brought in £11. is. \\d. Other smaller rents came to .£4. \4s., and Quidhampton tithe brought in £3. 19.J. id., the total being ,£39. 17s. iod. There were expenses of collection 12s. 7\d. The usual annual payment to the Sustern-Spital "outside Southgatc" Winchester (it was really, see Map, near Kingsgate), varied with the number of sisters therein. In 131 1-2 there were 22 of them, and their pottage and vesture cost in all £ig. 4s. gj4d. ; thc Chaplain of the Spital had i3s. 4d.; other charges, wax, incense, fee to two brethren, cost is. lid.; the Sub-Almoner got lis. 4d. Doles on thc funeral days of two of the sisters came to 2s. 2d., and other charges, chiefly for repairs of buildings, 37.?. Gifts, and wine and beer to different officials and others, in cluding l-%d. to the Boy Bishop in beer, came in all to £2. 12s. iod. The Almoner had a bout of illness, and lay often in the Infirmary this year, at a cost of i$s. Gifts in beer and clothing follow, the cost of doctoring the Prior's horse, (why should the Almoner have had this to do?), which was bled and plastered up. The Almoner also had to contribute to thc Prior's expenses at thc Fair, and to buy ¦* -t spices, etc., therein, clothes for himself, repairs, funeral expenses of the brethren (26s. Sd.), and other charges ; in all £i3. us. id. Quidhampton cost him a considerable sum, in all £2. 12s. 4d., out of an income of £1. igs. id. The total outgoings came to ,£38. 14^. 2d. The upshot of it was that in 1311-12, thc income of the office exceeded the outgoing by £$. 11s. 4%d., but as there had been an arrear of £4. 10.?. Syd. from the year before, the actual "surplusagium " (i.e. deficit) for thc year was not large. It should be noted in passing, that one Almoner's Roll tells us of a grievous mishap in 1404. The Manor House at Hinton Ampner was completely burnt down. The office was in a bad way : To begin the year there was a "Surplusagium'' of £17. 12s. id., and the rents were not well paid. The unhappy sisters of the Sustern Spital came off with straitened commons and no new clothing this year, " because of the inability of the office, due to the fact that the Manor House, with the exception of one chamber and the kitchen, had by mischance been burnt down, with forty quarters of corn, three horses, two oxen, and five carts with all their gear, on the 13th of April in thc preceding year." But the Chaplain was ' paid ; the Prior, Sub -Almoner and Accountant, the Sub-Prior and Third Prior, Porter, Infirmarian, Cellarer, and other brethren, got their fees for Masses ; the boys on Holy Innocents' Day had their beer-money. Thc gifts for St. Giles' Fair did not fall off, the boys in the School and the Oxford scholars were paid in full. The Almoner denied himself his usual clothing- money, and made no charge for his horses ; nor did the Steward of Hinton get a penny for his work — he was perhaps regarded as having been responsible for the mishap there. The poor got is. this year ; and bread was doled out at the funeral of Ralph of Basing to the value of \os. In all, the Almoner's outgoings came to £36. 16s. 3d., and the adverse balance was £4. 15J. 3d., which "the Almoner remitted to the office, on the enquiry of the Prior, Sub- y 78 Introduction. Introduction. 79 Prior, and whole body of Auditors.' Wc must suppose that Brother John Langrcod, then Almoner, had some money of his own, with which to defray thc deficit. It will be seen from a careful inspection of these Rolls, that in actual charity the office did very little indeed, and not much even in doles of bread ; there is not a trace of the visitation of the sick, on which Archbishop Lanfranc lays so much stress. As wc have said, the charity of thc Monastery shewed itself in supporting thc Sustern Spital, in keeping open house for pilgrims and other visitors, in distributing bread half-a-d07.cn times in thc year, in pro viding mats for the monks' feet in Church and Refectory and elsewhere, and in distributing the Almoner's old clothes to the poor once a year, instead of giving them back, as thc other brethren did, to the Chamberlain. But there is very little of what wc deem charitable work performed by the Almoner himself or his servants ; one finds none of that giving to wayfarers passing through thc country which forms so marked an clement in the accounts of thc Dean and Chapter in thc seventeenth century ; even Lanfranc's Decrees gave no sanction to indiscriminate almsgiving. And when the mishap at Plinton straitened the means of • the Almoner, the poor dependents were thc first to suffer — one can always retrench comfortably by cutting down one's charities. II, — There were several other officers, who have left us no accounts. These were, first, the Infirmarian, or brother in charge of the sick monks in the Infirmary. We know that in thc fourteenth century one of the monks, Walter of Longcstocke, M.A. and a physician, looked after the Infir mary. The Infirmarian's duties were to use such medical skill as he possessed, to see that the patients got their food, to sprinkle their beds with holy water, to decide when they ought to get up. He was, if possible, to have a cook and kitchen of his own. Pie also had charge of the dead bodies of the monks, and of the preparations for their funerals. A few of the older monks, bowed down with age and chronic ailments, took up their abode permanently in the I! I! if Infirmary, and formed a little feeble society among them selves, having for their only amusements their meals, the visits of the Infirmarian, or the arrival from time to time of a sick brother, whose accidents or ailments would be a constant source of interest and mild excitement to them. Thus, in slow tranquil decay, they spent the last days of their lives, without cares and without fears, till their hour came, and they were carried out to burial in the Cemetery among the brethren gone before. The Infirmarian was also Warden of the "Domus Con- versorum,1' the chamber in which those were lodged who had applied for permission to leave the world and enter under the rule. There were two kinds of probationers ; those who were brought up in the Monastery from childhood, and who, like William of Wykeham, went through all the early discipline and grew up in the system ; and those who, through whatever cause, desired to turn their backs on the rougher world, and to give themselves, after tasting the vanities of life, to the stillness and serenity of the Cloister. 12. — The Master of the Novices was a monk of some skill in teaching ; he had charge of the few boys who were cither entrusted for education to the Convent, or were employed, as William Longe of Wykeham was about this time, to serve the various altars of the Cathedral Church. It appears that at St. Swithun's there were very few of these boys, and of the Novices I find no trace. It was from among the "Juvenes in Schola" that every winter the Boy Bishop was elected by his comrades to hold high Saturnalian festival on Holy Innocents' Day. 13. — There was also at St. Swithun's a "Garden Warder" or a Gardener-Monk. In 1334-5 this office of Hortulanus or Gardinarius was held by Robert of Basing, who was bound to provide flowers to deck the Church on certain high days, and to produce apples for the refectory in Lent and Advent. He also sent in such vegetables, the list of them not being very large, as were consumed by the brethren. On his Day he had a great O to sing, and after it gave a feast to all his friends, perhaps to all the Convent. 8o Introduction. Introduction. Si With him we close the list of internal officers ; there may from time to time have been others who had special titles with duties attached, such, for example, as the Door keeper in the Cloister, who, when Chapter was held, sat in a seat which can still be clearly traced on thc south side of the Chapter House entrance, to secure the privacy of the proceedings, and to bar any unprivileged person from finding his way in. The above, however, were all the fixed and important personages. The officers who had to do with the outer world may be dismissed very briefly: for they were not as a rule members of thc Conventual body, and have left no Rolls of Accounts behind them. Such were, to name only the chief ones, first, my Lord Prior's Steward or Seneschal, the Seneschal of the lands, who is found from time to time at the various estates. He was an Agent, a layman usually, so that, though he was of essential importance in the management of so great a property, and in securing a fairly even income for the different departments of the House, we have here no means of following out his course of action : he reappears after the Dissolution in attendance on the Dean in his Progresses, with the later title of " Clericus terrarum," or Chapter Clerk. The Porter (Hostiarius or Hostillarius) was an important person, a man of mature years, who slept at the gate and kept a horse, that he might, when bidden, attend the Prior or Cellarer, leaving his gate in charge of a deputy. He lived at St. Swithun's exactly where the present Porter lives, on the south side of the main entrance towards Kingsgate Street. Lastly there was the Guest-master, who had charge of all visitors. Of him we learn from the Constitutions of Archbishop Lanfranc that he was bound to have everything ready in the Guest-house, a chamber, " beds, seats, tables, towels, table-cloths, cups, patens, spoons, basins, etc., wood also bread and drink and other food." If any one desired to address the Abbot or Prior, he must address himself to thc Guest-master ; also if any brother wished to go out to P i 1 n speak to any one, he must be escorted forth by him. He also is to get the Prior's leave, if any strange Clerk desires to dine in thc Refectory, and must look after the guest when ad mitted ; he also takes care of monk-visitors from a distance. Also, he must introduce persons of secular condition, who are about to be admitted to honorary fellowship with thc brethren, into the Chapter House. And if any stranger were to desire to view thc buildings of the Monastery, the Guest- master had leave to take him round, and, under certain limitations, to shew him all that was to be seen ; but no man booted and spurred, nor, at thc other end of the scale, any one barefooted or in stocking-feet, might be admitted into the Cloisters. Thc Guest- master also introduced thc novices into thc Chapter Plouse, and taught them how to make their petition for admission into the Order. With this courteous gentleman, in many ways the link between St. Swithun's and the outer world, we close our somewhat lengthy list and description of the Convent Obedientiaries. Their Rolls shed a clear light on many curious particulars as to the administration of the House, though they do not give us at all a complete picture of the daily manner of life within thc walls. Thc course of things was peaceful, simple, monotonous ; and this was thc case even in a Monastery standing so directly in thc world's highway as did St. Swithun's Priory. Some picturesque and curious elements of the daily routine pass entirely unnoticed ; and must be gathered from thc chronicles and more general sources. On the other hand, our Rolls are full of minute points of interest, historical, social, and philological ; we can learn much about prices, about food at its best among our ancestors, about clothing and equipment for man and beast ; wc get here and there a glimpse of social questions. These last, it must be granted, come up rarely ; once, wc catch sight of the burden of serfdom ; when a man was " challenged as a native" (i.e., claimed as a serf) for some Manor, then wc sec that thc Convent exacted feudal rights over 82 Introduction. thc poor semi-servile beings without hesitation; or again, the House granted " Corrodics " to persons of wealth and distinction, who could afford to purchase the friendship of a powerful Convent and a life-annuity, by a grant of lands or by payment of a sum of money down. Thc feudal authority also shews itself in thc Court Rolls of thc estates, of which an example, drawn from Hinton Amner for one of the years for whicb wc have an Almoner's Roll, is appended by way of example to the end of this Introduction. The references to matters of historic interest are few and scanty. It is singular, for example, that there is not one allusion in the Obedientiary Rolls to the tremendous pestilence which raged in the middle of the fourteenth century. We meet, in one place, in a Roll of 1308, with an entry referring to the fall of the Templars ; the Community was interested, perhaps as a neighbour, perhaps as hoping to get possession of some of the es cheated lands. In another Roll we obtain a very curious list of the personages who composed thc moving Court of Edward III ; that Court which formed the centre of the " virga,1' the radius and circumference, which moved for wards, like the light around the sun, as the King passed from place to place. This jurisdiction of the Royal Court (as we see from the Charter of St. Giles' Fair, p. 37) suspended all other jurisdictions, unless it was otherwise specially provided : there was an exception for St. Giles' Fair, to which the King granted that the authority of thc officials in charge should continue, even though the hill might come within the Royal Verge. Fleta defines the Verge as "quae sequitur Regem ubicunque fuerit in Anglia, spatium continens duodecim leucas.'' A " league," as a measure of surface in England, was twelve " quarentense," and the " quarentine " was forty perches ; and each perch appears to have been twenty feet (though the dimensions arc differently given by different authorities) ; so that the Royal Verge covered a very considerable extent of land. Thc Gallic league, in linear measure, was 1500 paces (or a Roman mile and a half). Introduction. S3 This Court of Edward III was obviously selected for a holiday time and not for business. None of the great Officers of State appear, only the persons required for the dignity or convenience of thc royal progress, and for the King's amusement in hunting or fishing. The Prior's Receiver (Roll S.S. 61), had to expend a considerable sum for nets, not only for fish, but also for foxes, rabbits, and partridges, also he had many pairs of gloves made of their skins, to be used in hawking and hunting. All these outgoings preceded thc coming of the royal company ; and when the princes, Edward III and Queen Philippa, made their appearance, accompanied by the Archbishop of Canterbury, John Stratford, who had previously been Bishop of Winchester, the outgoings from the Receiver's Office grew mightily. There were payments " for divers knights, clerks, private persons, stewards or seneschals, and marshals (i.e., officers in charge of the horses)," then for a crowd of esquires with their suites, then for a long list of " Massuerii," mace-bearers, the chief of whom kept no small state ; for William of Eyte, the King's mace -bearer, had his subordinate and three pages to look to his horses ; and in all there seem to have been eight or ten of these processional persons, each, no doubt, with a servant. Then came Matthew of Canterbury, Clerk, thc King's Marshal, a great man, who had his own esquire to tend him ; then the King's Ferreter, Robert Popejay, whose horsemen went to Littleton at the Convent's charge. There was also the King's Apothecary, William of Portchester ; also two officials, whose duties, however necessary, cannot have been pleasant to the neigh bourhood ; "duobus captoribus avenarum et frumenti ad opus Domini Regis " ; these men went round about and • impounded anything fit for food for man or beast which they might find in the farmyards, paying for it, no doubt, a price of a kind, but often turning it into a forced exaction. In more than one of our Rolls are entries of bribes paid to these disagreeable persons to buy them off the Manors belonging to the Convent, Then come the King's Chamber, 84 Introduction. am and his Porter or Doorkeeper, with the servant of thc latter; hen the King's Esquires, several of them ; then thc Archbishop of Canterbury's huntsman, and his " Runner" or Messenger; then another group of royal officials, the Nuncus the Fisherman and his servant, three Foresters, and the Rings Messenger; similar officers of thc Ouecn's household, and of other great persons, among them Earl Warren. Wc may also learn at what time thc King's people were at Winchester this year, because thc Convent hired minstrels to make music on St. Swithun's Day. The upshot of itall is that poor Nicholas of Haywode, the Receiver, had a very bad balance-sheet to shew. While he had paid off debt to the amount of £l2. ios., he had been obliged to borrow £So from Galicianus of Bordeaux and to raise money by means of three ruinous Corrodies to the amount of £70 ; and even after all this there was still a deficit of £4. gs. lQy2d. on the account, so that the office had gone back to this extent :— Loan from Galicianus ... 80 0 0 Corrodics ... ... .. 70 0 0 Deficit ¦ ¦ •'¦'• '¦'¦'¦ 4 9 10-i t T •, ~ " 154 9 10i Less Loans repaid ] 2 10 0 T , , . £1*1 19 101- Iransatcd into thc money of our day, this comes to at least the sum of £1700, a very heavy deficit for one office of thc Convent in a single year. There docs not appear to have been any "arrerage" brought forward from thc preceding year. Jn 1334-5 there is one entry of general interest- we read that Walter of Thuddcne (Thcddon near Alton) with other esquires and servants had charge of the seaboard presumably between Portsmouth and the Sussex border' at Hayhng Island, etc., keeping watch there for fear of a descent on England by the King of France. And King Edward had very good ground for anxiety at this moment' for he had but lately arrogated to himself the title and cognisance of King of France, and was busy strengthening Introduction. 85 his Flemish and other alliances, with a view to the active prosecution of his claims ; so that people naturally thought that I hihp of Valois might resent this aggression, and endeavour to forestall it. There was a general belief that a descent would be made on thc south coast, and the level shores were carefully watched, and some small guard set over them. Walter of Theddon, and other knights who were engaged on this duty, cost the Convent thc sum of £2. is. Sd. Beyond these matters, wc find very few entries of general interest; there is a Subsidy for thc purposes of the Council of Basle; there are one or two records of payments of tenths to my Lord the Pope ; and lastly there are some interesting entries connected with the foundation of William of Wykeham's College of St Mary of Winchester, which are well illustrated by the fasciculus of documents privately printed by Mr. Kirby, k.s A in the year 1882. ' The Rolls also give us a few scanty glimpses of other matters which, trivial perhaps in themselves, seemed lar-c in the eyes of men living the monotonous life of the Convent. Wc learn nothing, or next to nothing, about thc labours of the Scriptorium, which at St. Swithun's was a place of some interest and importance, nor do our Records contain a single allusion to it. This is thc more stran-e as at a time when our documents are fairly plentiful, in 1397' there exists in thc College hard by an entry as to thc cost of a "Legenda," which appears to have been entrusted to some scr.be by the Fellows, there being no monks in Colics to do the copying for nothing. It runs thus : " Item in xi doscyn nii pellibus (136) emptibus pro una Legenda intc " or about £90 in money of our day. One learns hence thc great cost and value of one Codex in those days We could now print a thousand copies of thc work for the 86 Introduction. money. There is in thc Rolls only one allusion to that en couragement of the arts, which has always been put with justice to the credit of thc monastic bodies. And this reference wc find in the Hordarian's Roll for 1405-6, when John Langrcod spent \os. on three " dossoria de linea tela distincta, in quibus habentur quinquc gaudia Bcatrc Virginis Maria-, pendentia in scaccario Plordaria;." This picture of the " five joys of Mary," which must have been, whether artistically fine or not, a most interesting piece of wall- decoration, has of course long ago perished : it is pleasant to think of this pious and intelligent monk intent on beauti fying thc walls of his chamber. Where that chamber was is unknown ; it may have been hard by the Prior's Hall, or perhaps, for convenience of access to thc Refectory, somewhere on the west side of thc Cloisters. The Rolls also verify the statement that William of Edington had at his death left his private fortune to help in carrying out the buildings and alterations originally begun under him, and carried through by William of Wykeham. This fund, which was formed into a separate " Cista '' kept carefully in the Treasury of the Cathedral, was not exhausted by 1400 ; for in that year the Hordarian, Ralph Basynge, borrowed £19. is. (say about £475) out of it for the use of his office. It is from Archbishop Lanfranc that we learn most as to the details of daily life in a Benedictine House ; his treatise is full of especial interest, as it shews with what spirit this great Prelate regarded those lesser matters of dispute and difference which then, just as now, loomed so large in the eyes of small people. It is a pleasure to think that a large-hearted tolerance is traditional in thc Metropolitan See of Canterbury, and has received many an illustration from Lanfranc's time down to our own days. For, says Lanfranc, if the essentials arc there, these lesser matters may be left to vary as they may, according to the habit and fancy of each House. Thus, it is really a matter of indifference, he says, what is worn on High Days. Some go to church dressed only in their monastic Introduction. 87 frocks ; others are accustomed to appear in copes and albs ; others in copes without albs ; and on these points thc wise Archbishop lays down no law at all. Similarly, he adds, m some Houses twenty, or even thirty (more or less), monks wash in thc same tub or basin of water, while in' other places each monk has his own pan— these arc matters of taste and convenience. But the essentials, he goes on to say, are faith, contempt of the world, charity, chastity, a humble, patient, obedient spirit, penitence and confession, prayer also, and silence at thc right times ; where these are to be found, all is going well ; for the rest, let them vary as they may. Once a day, Lanfranc tells us, just before going into Church for Tierce, they all washed their hands and faces at the common lavatory in thc Cloister, and there combed their hair ; and, if the use given by Lanfranc prevailed generally, only once a year they washed their bodies with warm water "in thc baths" just before Christmas Day. It should be remembered that in this raw climate of ours, dirt, however offensive and unwholesome in itself, was regarded as a great preservation against cold. There are other elements of the Monastic life to which our Rolls contain no reference ; they tell us, for example, absolutely nothing about the Library, which was probably large and interesting, as the Convent was both central and wealthy. Mabillon, writing on Monastic Studies, gives us a brief explanation of the arrangement of a Library in one of thc larger Benedictine Houses, and it is most probable that the collection of Codices at St. Swithun's was made in thc way he describes it. "In these Houses," he says, "there were usually a couple of Libraries, thc one dedicated to the Services, in which the Church Books (Service Books Lectionaries, Epistolarics, etc.,) alone were kept, and the' other containing volumes intended for thc use of the monks, that is, scientific and ascetic works. The first of these two collections always (and sometimes both the Libraries) was under the care of thc Precentor, and they 88 Introduction. Introduction. 89 were kept in the Sacristy at the end of the south transept." And thc way in which the books were used was this. It was considered right, in all well-ordered Houses, that each brother should always have one Codex to read : and this was arranged much as follows. Once a year, after thc daily Chapter, the monks stayed in the Chapter House, whither thc Librarian had brought down, and had laid out on tables or on thc floor all thc Codices in his charge. The monks also had brought with them such MSS. as had been lent out to them thc year before. When all was read}-, the Librarian drew forth' his last year's list, and began to call out from it thc names of the monks, beginning with thc senior down to the youngest. 1 hen each, as his name was read out, rose from his place, and laid his book down before thc Librarian, who inspected it carefully, to see whether it had taken any harm during the year's absence from thc shelves. If the borrower had not succeeded in mastering the contents, he was allowed to haye the loan renewed for another twelvemonth, and so retired again to his place with the volume in his hand. This, however, occurred but rarely ; for after a whole year's company with one book any monk would have been glad of a change to something new. When all the books of the year before had thus been returned into the Librarian's hands, thc brethren were again called over one by one to choose each a MS. for thc next year's reading. As each made his choice, he shewed it to the Librarian, who entered his name and the title of the volume on a new Roll. As soon as all were supplied, the Chapter came to an end, the monks departed, each with his book, and the Librarian had thc remaining Codices carried back to their places, and deposited the Roll he had just made in a safe place, till thc same day in the following year. It is a pity that not one of these Rolls has been preserved at St. Swithun's, and indeed that there is not a single reference in our documents to this Library. A few of the MSS. (a good monastic collection numbered 300 or more Codices) are still preserved in thc Cathedral Library, and give one a v, good impression of the quality of the books. Of these by far thc most interesting and valuable is thc late twelfth century Vulgate Bible. It was originally in two large and heavy folio- volumes (now rebound in three volumes), written throughout in a very fine clear hand, and all of it the work of the same scribe. The numerous illuminations in it were done by two different monks, thc one taking the lesser capitals, etc., in rather a coarse and common style of design and colouring, without gold or much finish of any kind, and the other painting the large illuminated capitals in very fine style : in design, subjects, colouring, and use of burnished gold, these artistic letters are a grand specimen of thc art, as fresh and bright to-day as when they first issued from the Scriptorium. Several in the second volume were stolen, cut out with a sharp knife, more than half a century ago : and unfortunately the artist-monk who had charge of the work did not live to complete it. After we get beyond the middle of thc Codex, signs of the unfinished state begin to appear : first, wc notice that the inscriptions on the scrolls held in thc hands of the personages pourtrayed are missing ; then, as wc turn over the leaves, we see that only some of the colours have been laid on, and these not finished off; then again there is nothing except the gold-leaf, which evidently was done first, and worked up to by the artist ; and lastly we find examples of outlines only, beautifully executed both in design and workmanship, in a faint brown ink. In a few cases the capital-letter is not even begun. And this grada tion of incompleteness will enable any skilful person to get an insight into some of the technical points connected with thc ancient art of illumination. The present Library has also a very fine MS. of the Coucordautia Moralis of Conrad de Allemannia, written in the fourteenth century, and enlivened with brilliant capitals : it is specially interesting to us as shewing that the study of the Bible was by no means unknown at St. Swithun's in the time of Wicliffc. There is also a very interesting and early copy of Bcdc's Ilistoria, written in the tenth century 90 Introduction. by /Ebelclmus, who may have been Athelmus, Wlfhelm who was first a monk, then Abbot, at Glastonbury, and' ended his hfc as Archbishop of Canterbury in 933. This Codex contains at thc end, in addition to other interests notes a curious and very puzzling entry in Old Irish The Library has also a good copy of the Promptorium larvulorum, and other MSS. of lesser note The number of Codices there, which appear to have belonged to the Priory, is iS ; and of these the brief titles arc here given :— 1.

Others are to be seen, with the mark of the Convent in them, in the Bodleian Library and elsewhere. Enough remain to shew that the collection of books, literary and ecclesiastical, was one of high merit and beauty. The Convent in its earlier time had a good reputation for learning, and reckoned a certain number of authors among its brethren ; and as the Scriptorium was probably never altogether idle, by degrees there came to be a large collection of valuable MSS. It is much to be regretted that no reference to them remains among the Cathedral Records It is thc same with thc fine service-books and music • except for the grand Benedictionary of St. /Ethelwold now at Chatsworth, and the MS. now in thc Bodleian, not very well entitled « Thc Tropary of Ethelred," we possess no record of the services and singing of the Cathedral Church ¦ it was perhaps always a rather unmusical district and thc staff of " Juvenes " was so small that it is clear that all the chanting and singing must have been done by the monks themselves. The Rolls are silent about the every day life ; about the meetings in thc Chapter House ; thc teaching of thc boys • the trainmg of thc novices ; the tenour of the monks' talk as they sat long hours in the Cloister, winter and summer ¦ the arrangements for shaving and tonsuring, at thc many Introduction. "Rasturae" (Rasiturre, shaving-turns) which took place throughout thc year. Nothing, also, except incidentally in the Refectory Consuetudines, about that curious usage of blood-letting, which appears to have been a real comfort to the monks in their sedentary and unwholesome lives ; there is no hint about the summer " Mcridiana," thc snooze in the dormitory after dinner, which was quite a valued privilege, much missed when it came to an end at the beginning of October. Of these various occupations or amusements wc can get but a distant glance, and when all is said, we probably arrive at a far dess vivid and real idea of thc Monastic life than we should obtain were we able to spend even two or three days within the walls of some one of thc ancient Houses which still survive the shock of ages. From certain false notions respecting the Monastic life we can easily free ourselves, if wc will. It was not in any sense, as is often thought, a solitary life in separate cells, but a life intensely social ; the very name indicating as much ; it is life "in Conventu," in society and combination. This wc can see at every turn : the monks worshipped together, they sat together in Chapter and Cloister, they took their meals in common, they all slept in one long dormitory. They did not endeavour, with the introspection of hermits, to work out their own private salvation ; they believed themselves to be moving heavenwards as a company, and all together ; thc whole notion underlying their existence was that of each helping thc others within the narrow limits of thc community. On thc other hand their religion had hardly any outward tendency : they had no vocation to save the outer world. Those modern successors of theirs, the Salvationists, in the sensational frontispiece to their General's well-known book, arc busy heart and hand in fishing out perishing souls from thc terrible ocean of worldliness and sin ; but thc monks within thc walls of their Cloister heeded little how the world fared without, for they rarely passed outside their gates into the secular life; their torpid eyes knew nothing of the struggles and sufferings of the poor folk lying in darkness ; in thc safe Introduction. ship of their sacred buildings, protected by the special sanctity of their vows and garb, they passed serenely secure through the waves of this troublesome world, unconscious of thc larger brotherhood of man, absorbed in thc lesser brotherhood of thc Convent, as sure of their indefeasible election and salvation as if they had been members of one of our nineteenth-century religious communities. The more modern aim, which began with the friars, of spreading abroad thc religious spirit, of converting the people, and preaching thc glad tidings far and wide, of Christian education, of the general attempt to lift men above thc - grosser world of sense, was almost, if not entirely, unknown to them ; it is even laid as a complaint against them, that, instead of spreading the Gospel in country places, and diffusing the light, they actually starved thc churches which were unlucky enough to be under their charge, taking the main incomes from them, and leaving some poor illiterate hedge-priest to look after thc simple flock. For there was a tendency in the life in community, as well as in the more individualised life of ordinary men, towards a narrow selfishness, which came partly from a natural instinct, and partly also from the contraction of vision which followed inevitably from thc life within thc Convent walls. The monks hardly realised that those outside were their brethren, hungry and naked, full of needs and sufferings ; the pro vision for their stately Church, their community, their administration, made them hard and unfeeling ' toward others, and this was fostered and aggravated by 'their firm belief that they were in a sense especially God's elect, thc heirs of safety here and of salvation hereafter. One result of this, to quote Dr. Jessopp, was that "thc monks were the greatest church-robbers that thc world has ever known ; they were always robbing thc country parson, and thc town parson, too, for that matter" .... "they pulled down thc churches when they had the chance.'" It should be added, to the credit of the Cistercians, that when this later' Order came up to reform the Benedictines, they set themselves, and were the first to do so, against 94 Introduction. Introduction. 95 this crying evil, and, so far as they could, protected and encouraged thc secular clergy in their work. Thc Benedictines' life, on the other hand, was completely self- centred in thc Convent ; thc difficulties and dangers which had beset Christianity at the time of their first establish ment drove them in upon themselves; religion and life were protected by high walls; and to those dwelling peace fully within, thc outer world, if strong, was an enemy ; if weak and poor, was treated as beneath contempt. One might have thought that this intense social life would have also been communistic ; and that all notions of private ownership, or of an individual life distinct from that of the community, would have been entirely cast out. As a fact, this was not so, and there are several indica tions in thc Rolls of distinct private property held by monks. The most remarkable of these is thc case of Prior Alexander Heryard, who in 1337, apparently out of his own resources, and perhaps with savings made from the estates pertaining to the Prior's office, paid off a huge debt which had for many years oppressed the Plordarians of thc Convent. As may be seen above on page 63, this debt, which had been as high as £369. 3^. 634V. in 1327 (say £4450), had been reduced year by year, through the careful management, first of the Hordarian, and then for several years of Prior Alexander, who took thc office into his own hands, and administered it himself. He brought the debt down to .£210. lis. iyd. in nine years, and then, not content even with this great success, as any ordinary man might well have been, in 1337, as wc arc told in a footnote to the Roil of that year, he paid off the whole burden. It was the custom also of more than one of thc offices to make a distribution in money to some of thc brethren, or to all of them at certain times, and for various services done, masses said, etc. : this served as pocket-money, with which no doubt they bought those apes and bears and other beasts which were put under the Cellarer's care at St. Swithun's, and must have been a continual source of amusement. Another entry shews by contrast that it was ¦u not uncommon for the brethren to have some private means. ' In solutis Waltcro Brcvitori pro obitu Fratris R. de Encd- ford iar.,quia nichil repcriebatur in custodia sua per quod fieri potuit." And this is thc more singular, because Richard of Encdford, who died thus penniless in 1337-8, had been Prior from 1309 to 1327. It appears that the monks usually left enough behind them to pay for their own funeral expenses. In other ways this close investigation into the Monastic life will have helped to clear away serious misunderstand ings. An institution which goes on steadily and unchanged while nations and dynasties come and go, must pass through many phases and have many developments, if it has in it any life at all. It must have better and worse days; it must sometimes do its work creditably, at other times fall into some decay and decrepitude. Consequently, such institu tions are sure to suffer from that common fallacy which neglects time; thus we are constantly told that the Bene dictines were the saviours of society, because in early days they taught mankind to labour with their own hands, and introduced improvements in cultivation and the arts of life. This was certainly perfectly true of the Order in its youth, and the great glory of it ; but in the later days, the time covered by our Rolls, it was absolutely and altogether false, and the opposite of the Monastic life, for that life tended more and more towards torpor, and peaceful undisturbed days beneath thc shelter of the grey Cathedral Church. In the same way, the Order has deservedly won great praise for its services in behalf of letters : for no one can overrate the benefit to mankind of thc treasures of classical and theological literature stored up and saved within the pro tecting walls of thc Monastic Cloisters. Yet this interest in and contribution towards the stores of learning also belongs mainly to thc earlier part of their history ; indeed, towards thc sixteenth century, as we may learn from many un doubted sources, their position had completely altered ; and the unfriendly opinions of More, and the satires of Erasmus, find their sharpest point in the ignorance and backward sloth of thc conventual life. Truly, in dealing 96 Introduction. with them, as in all other matters, wc must discern thc times and seasons if wc would do justice ; indiscriminate praise or blame is in its own nature sure to be wrong ; and when wc deal with these interesting communities we must be especially careful, or we arc certain to miss thc truth. It is the same thing with those stories of corruption and immorality on which impure minds have ever fastened greedily. It would be impossible, as some writers have done, to shut one's eyes and refuse to sec thc facts : and immorality in a religious body is so much worse than it would be in a private person, that every one looks, aghast or delighted, at the burning of " a city set upon a hill." Consequently, these irregularities have attracted far more than a fair amount of notice and attention, and have given the excuse for those interested and truthless persons who, in thc Reformation time and in later days too, have thought to honour God by blackening wholesale thc Monastic character. '' Deo per mendacium gratificari " is still far -too often the guiding line of many a polemic, who tries to win his battle by flinging dirt in the faces of his opponents. And so the monks have been traduced as well as over-praised. In these respects thc brethren at St. Swithun's may look the world in the face without fear. Though in thc bad days of Plenry III far too many worldly considerations affected their life ; and though, in the time of William of Wykeham, it was necessary for the Bishop to rebuke them sharply for allowing secular persons, more or less respectable, to frequent their Cloisters ; still their record throughout was good, and free from graver scandals. Their Priors were often promoted, their offices administered in a way which led to little or no criticism of the affairs of a very large institution ; no trace of evil can be seen in the documents published in this volume. In it we desire to present to those who take an interest in thc institutions of our forefathers a genuine picture of life and manners in community. Enough of thc ancient conventual buildings remain to enable us to imagine how they lived, who long ago with dim religious forms peopled this fair spot.

SPECIMEN OF A COURT ROLL OF HINTON AMNER. The Cathedral Archives possess three paper Rolls of Courts with View of Frank Pledge held at Hinton in the years 1539, 1540, 1541 ; at thc very end, that is, of the Almoner's existence. So far as I can discover, no carlier Court Rolls of this Manor have survived, and we probably owe these three to the suspension of the Conventual life which took place between 1538 and 1541, during which time the documents were lodged in the Archives of the Monastery, and not the Almoner's chamber.

This most grievous incidence of feudalism, which tied a man to the soil and forbade him to move from the spot on which he was born, is the extreme example of that which some good people still yearn after, thc principle that a man should bo content with his state in life, and should not venture to think of bettering himself. The obligation in this case was apparently commuted into the payment of a small fine of about 2,. a head : in the Rolls we have another case of a iNativus, for whom at Westmeon the Office paid a large sum.

One of the usages connected with the Anniversary of Bishop Godfrey was the custom of slipping seven tapers in sconces into metal sockets on the ledger- stone of his tomb, and these when lighted formed a burning cross over his remains. The matrices of the seven sockets can still be seen on thc tomb. 3 Busshopestone is Bishopstone in Wiltshire. It will be observed that in 1393-4 the Anniversarian had let the Manor on lease for twelve years. 4 Curia cum Visu Franciplegii. This feudal or manorial Court was held under the Lord of the Manor by the Seneschal. All persons holding lands in or belonging to the Manor were bound to appear ; all legal questions were considered and judgment given. "View of Frankpledge" was a portion of the business of this Court Lect, and was the duty of seeing and inspecting the associations of the tithing, etc., to discover if the number was complete, and in due order 1 the Court Leet could fine absentees. The " Frankpledge" is an Anglo-Norman rendering of the older Frith-borh or "Peace-pledge, through a confusion between frith and fri (free). A Monastery held its own Courts Leet for each Manor, being Lord of the Manor. See Bp. Stubbs, C. H., I. 100 (Library Edition). These Courts were usually held twice a year, — at Martinmas (nth November) and at Hockeday, i.e. the second Tuesday after Easter. 5 Pannagium porcorum, the permission to pasture pigs in the woods of the estate.

The Pitanceria of a convent was the place where extra food was given out to the monks. 6 Tabu/a Missa", the "table" or list hung up in some conspicuous place in a convent, containing the names of the monks whose duty it might be to sing the Mass at thc different Altars in the Church. In the Foundation Charter of the Oratory of the Holy Trinity, Barton, 1. of Wight, A.D. 1275 lArc/ia-ol. vol. lii, p. 301) a Table of the Mass is thus described: "Volumus etiam quod Archi- presbyter ordinet prrecentorem, ad cujus solicitudinem et mandatum in Oratorio dicto sint pagenda in missis celebrandis, quis quam missam in sua septimana celebrare debeat, in lectionibus legendis et creteris aliis ; qui Prcecentor habeat tabulam in Oratorio superappensam, in qua scribat die Sabbati post prandium et ordinet quales missas quis eorum celebrare debeat, quis qualem lectionem in cras- tinum legerc debeat. _. . . Et omnes in prx'dicto Oratorio devenientes prredictam tabulam adeant, ct oflicium sibi assignatum inspiciant, ut praamittitur, et repctant, ut in servitio postea pagendo Deo inveniantur fideles humiles et devoti." The Precentor's duty was to attend to this Table of the Mass, etc. See also Du Can^e s. v. Tabulre ofliciales. 1 Fratres Capcllani, the monks who were in charge of the Masses, etc., sung in the different Chapels of the Cathedral Church. 8 Duobus Scolaribus Oxonia studentibus. The Scholars at Oxford supported by St. Swithun's Monastery were usually two, young monks ns a rule, who were sent for their teaching to Durham Half or Gloucester Hall, the Benedictine head quarters in Oxford. Gloucester Hall now forms a part of Worcester College 204 A nnhcrsarian's Roll. _ _ Iu vmo misso domino Priori ad ejus festa quinqnics per annum ijs. id.

[2.] No. 4.— Fragment of a Roll of Brother John Langreod, Anniversarian and Warden of Bishopston Manor. Date lost. [13 in. by 9* in.] This MS. is in a deplorable condition, and difficult to read. Brother John Langreod was Anniversarian (see above) in 1394, 1395, and Almoner from 1398-1405, and Hordarian from 1405-1406; and the date of this Roll is therefore probably either 1396-1397, or 1397-1398.

Manor of Nutshulling or Nursling, and by Millbrook, both close to Southampton. Nursling lies on the River Test, between Southampton and Romsey ; Millbrook is on the Southampton Water, just above the town to the west, and adjoins the parish of Nursling. 1 A propositus was a kind of upper farm-bailiff, set over a farm ; a serviens was perhaps an under-bailiff, being rather a sergeant than a servant. While the name serviens has dropped in rank to " servant," pmpositus has risen to " provost." The />mW-marsbal is in somewhat of the ancient position. Du Cange gives, " Propositus, u. feudalis, qui rationc fundi res dominicas curat": and "Serviens de Manerio: villicus cui Manerii cura incumbit." Wynmanstonc is a hamlet of Millbrook, in 1533 written Wymstone (see p. 215), and now called Wimpson, with a few small houses, cottages, and farms, extending to the boundaries of Nursling. 2 Kynaesclcre is one of the group of Cleres in the N.W. corner1 of the county, close to the borders of Berkshire. It is seven miles from Newbury. 3 Whytlegh, Witley in Surrey, three miles from Godalming. * h'alph Basynge had been an important member of the Conventual body. He was Hordarian, an office of great trust, in 1381-2. In 1400 he was still holding the same office, and in 1404-5 we have an entry touching his funeral. 5 The conductus aquarum was a conduit through which pure water was brought down to the Convent from the Worthys above the city. It was cleansed and repaired from time to time at considerable cost. « Fotmel, a measure, by weight, of lead. In cxviij lb, stagni1 emptis xxixs. vjd. In iij m latheis emptis Emptior.es. xvs. ixd.

Littri and Brachet both cite this form as "supposed," and do not appear to have met with it. They justify it by the derivations. This example confirms their a priori statement. Latheis, laths for roofs. Lathenayles, short nails made specially for fastening on laths to joists. Flornayles, nails for flooring. Bordnayles, nails for fastening boards. Lednayles, nails for fastening leaden roofs. Waternaylcs, nails so worked as to stand being under water without rusting (?). Cavilli, in other places called kevils, from Lat. dim. clavilla-=clavicula, whence Fr. chcville, " clavus ligneus." Du Cange. It was a little wooden peg, with which tiles or slates were kept in position. There is a similar word signifying a hammer of some sort, See the accounts of Finchall Priory (Surtees Society, 1837, 2), ". . . . ferri pro coementariis, / in*/, i hammer-hax. " Sclalla, a slate. '- Execulores Domini F.piscopi. The Bishop was of course William of Wykeham. The Convent is here buying up the remaining stores of timber left by the Bishop at his death : for the work of converting the Cathedral to the Perpendicular style was suddenly arrested (as may be seen to this day) just as it entered into the North and South Transepts. The two magna ingennia, "great engines," were probably cranes for hoisting timber and stone to the heights required. 3 Aldyngtone, probably Allington, one of the five tithings of South Stoneham, on the Roman Road from Southampton to Winchester. * Potles, a large measure : sand was not costly, and a " pot of sand " cost -]d. 6 Haia, i.q. haga, sepes, A.S. liege, a fence round a field, a fence, not necessarily quickset ; here it was made of brushwood (subboscus). e Le Joye, a garden in the Convent precincts; possibly the " Paradise." " Le ISu/wes ad plumbarium, the bellows in the plumber's yard. One sees here the origin of the word — the bellying out of the bellows— from L. bulla, a bubble or swollen-out lump. 8 Vitriarius, the glazier, who repaired the church windows.

Solderium is a corrupted form of the L. Lat. solidarium, from solidare, a mixture which solidifies things, being a cement made of fusible metal, to unite two metals together. : Ultra scrinium must signify "beyond the shrine " of St. Swithun (see below in this Roll, " vaulta ultra scrinium S. Swithuni "), i.e., due east of the high altar, St. Swithun's shrine was between the chantries of Cardinal Beaufort and Bishop William of Waynflete, and the site of it is still marked by the change from encaustic to common red tiles. 3 Caralum zabuli, a cart-load of gravel ; zabulum is a late spelling of sabulum, coarse sand, gravel. 4 Tylepynues, small pegs to fasten tiles on a roof. 5 Navis ecclesia:, the church-nave. Thc metaphor of the church = a ship, is of course very ancient.

The Consuetudinary of the Refectory in the i.ith century shews that the existence of this officer was regarded as not unlikely : " Quarlus, si fuerit, Prior." The " nulh electi, etc. "simplymeans that this heading of expenditure is kept on the Roll, though in the year no change had taken place in any of these three offices. 22: Custos Operum Rolls. ¦y.

It embraced the chief part, if not the whole, of that Chilcombc which is described in Domesday as having nine churches, and was given to the Cathedral by cither Kinegils, first king of the West Saxons, or Kenwalh his son. It includes copyholds in St. Faith, Compton, Wyke, Sparsholt, Winnal, Chilcombe (in its modern dimension), Morcstead, and Lavington, as well as the large farms of Priors Barton, New Barton, Tcgdown, and Silkstead. These are nearly all now enfranchised, or the leasehold interests have been bought up by the Dean and Chapter of Winchester. It is in reference to this great property, still in large part in the possession of the Church, that we have the interesting statement in the Annates de I Vintonia, p. 4, under the year 6o3. It is there said that Kynegils, in his desire to build a " templum praecipuum " in Winchester, " terram totam ambientem Wintoniam a centra Wintonia; usque ad circumferentiam ab omni parte linea exeunte septem leucas habentem aedificanda? ecclesia in dotem dare disposuit," but being prevented by morLi! sickness, he called to him his son Kenwalh, and made him swear before St. Birinus to build a worthy church and to grant this estate to it : "Et totam terram, quam pater voverat ecclesia.', contulit ct confirmavit." Littletone, the Manor of Littleton is to the north-west of Winchester, about two miles distant, the advowson of the paush belongs to thc Dean and Chapter. From a charter of Henry of Blois, A.D. 1171, we find " ecclesia de Littletone, qua; ad hospites recipiendos," told off to provide funds for the Guest Master's Office. Thormondc. To the south of Winchester, on the Itchcn. It is a hamlet in the Parish of St. Faith, and is still, in part at least, among the possessions of the Dean and Chapter. Iistone, a village four miles north of Winchester up the river Itchen. The Dean and Chapter still own land there. Selistede, a hamlet, lying partly in Hursley Parish and partly In Compton, about three miles south-west from Winchester. It was the birth-place of the well- known prior, Thomas Silkstede, who gave much woodwork to thc Cathedral, and helped to build the easternmost bay of the Lady Chapel. He was Prior from 1498 to 1524, nnd warmly supported Bishop Fox in his additions and restorations. Muchelmarcis, Michehuarsh on the Test, four miles north of Romsey.

Chilbollon, also on the Test, about ten miles from Winchester, and at no great distance from the manors just before named. Here the Dean and Chapter still own the large manor-farm. Wonsyn«tone, or Wonston, about eight miles north of Winchester. Here the Dean and Chapter have two farms. //usteborne, Hurstbourne Priors, not far from Whitchurch. Whitchurch, Manor and Burgh, about twelve miles from Winchester on the Test. The Portmoots held here shew that it had a civic corporation. The titular mayor used to be chosen yearly by the Dean and Chapter of Winchester, who were Lords of thc Manor, Hanyton. In the "Valor Ecclesiasticus " printed in H. R. S. I, pp. 88, 89, Hanytone is spoken of as " membrum de Manydown," and as in the Parish of Wootton St. Lawrence. Woo/ton, sc. Wootton St. Lawrence, three miles from Basingstoke. Manydown and Hanyton arc in this Parish, of which the Dean and Chapter hold the advowson, as well as some small property in land. Sutlone. Long Sutton, near Odiham, Hants, where the Dean and Chapter were formerly Lords of the Manor. Croudal. Thc large manor lying on the north-eastern extremity of Hampshire, formerly belonging to the Priory and then to the Dean and Chapter. See H. R. S., Vol. III. Mapeldurham, probably Mapledurwell, about four miles from Winchfield. Mapelderham, the ancient manor-house not far from Petersfield, now belonging to Mr. J. Bonham-Carter, does not appear to have had any connexion with the Monastery. Haltyngele. Uncertain, possibly Mnttingley, a village four miles north of Winchfield. In the Croudal Fecordt, H. R. S. Ill, p. 21, there is mention of a lVier of Haltingley, who was Stcwmd in 1219 nnd 1224, and was '.uececded by a Gilbert of Hattingley. This indicates that the place was in North Hants, Stoktone. A village in Wiltshire, not far from Bath. F.nedforde, a parish in the vale of Avon in Wilts, as is also Aulton, now called Alton Parva ; Patcneye is also a village in Wilts on the Avon, not far from Devizes. Overton, in Wilts, four miles from Marlborough. Worslon (or Wroston) in Wilts, probably Worton, four miles from Devizes. Westwode is in South Wilts, on the (Brrulfo'd) Avon, near Bradford. Nutshullynge, or Nursling in Hants, about five miles N.W. of Southampton, on the Test. It was in tiie "cella" hen; thai St, Winfrith (Boniface) was brought up, 226 Receiver's Roll.

The Portmoot of Whitchurch (Hants) is explained as Curia porta, or porte-gemot, the court held in the gate of a town. So the citizens' of York in 1068 are spoken of as the port-men, who (doubtless in proper port-moot) came to terms with Eadgar ^Etheling in revolt against William. So too the officer who preceded the mayor at Winchester, Exeter, and elsewhere, was styled the porl-rcme. There is no notion of a harbour-court about it, for the word conies from Lat. porta, a gate, not from portus, a harbour. minuti exituure provenientium de Bracino et Coquina. venditis, pretio ponderis ut supra.

We find that in 1341 the "Mereatores de Luca had an assignment of 16,000 marks, " de quibusdam ctistumiis," shewing the largeness of their transactions, 2 Brocagium, "brocage" or brokering; "brocage, a treaty by a broker or agent," probably from L. Lat. broca = doliaris fistula. Thus in Fr. wine sold a broclie is retail-sale, Cp. Engl, to broach a cask. 3 Uptone is probably Upton Grey, near Winchfield, in which neighbourhood the Convent had property.

"Dignitas in Aula," says Du Cange. 2 This was the Anniversary or Obit-day of the famous Queen Emma of thc ploughshares, who was a large benefactor to the Monastery; "the nine estates" which she gave for the nine "vomeres," being named by Rudbourne (in Wharton's Anglia Sacra). 3 Berthonarius was the person in charge of the Manor of Berthon or Barton. 4 Mandatum was the foot-washing day, on which some little extra allowance was given, such as the nebulones here mentioned ; " nebu/o" being a cake of fine flour. See Consuetudinary of St. Swithun, p. 46. Fr. oubliee. "Maundy" would easily come to be used for the dole given on washing-day. 5 Redditus de Oklee ; The rent of Oakley, This is the only passage in which this source of income is mentioned. It is probably East Oakley, a hamlet of Wootton St, Laurence, of which the Convent was Lord. 0 Bishop John of Pontoise held the See from 1282 to 1304, and lies buried in the Choir, on the north side of the Sanctuary. A prudent and sensible administrator, Bishop John made peace with St. Swithun's, accepting from the Convent certain advowsons in dispute, and giving them in return the lordship over sundry Manors. He established the College of St. Elizabeth, below Wolvesey. solutis Capcllano cclcbranti pro anima dicti domini Johannis de scrvientibus Pontissara xxs., quia nichil in anno proximo pra- codenti.

Fur of Pop was a fluffy kind of fur. Meyn (= minus, lesser) sirandlynge or Stradling, was smaller "fur of the kind. The meaning of the word i.s obscure ; perhaps connected with Easterling. Bailev gives "Stradling" a surname, a corruption of " Eastcrling." Minuto verro is Miniver. Verrum (?) is a Latinised form of Med. French vair, which in turn is said to be Lat. varium, a fur of two colours. It is given as being the fur of a kind of squirrel, dark above and white below. Byssum or byssus (Gr. Bvaaoc.) was, according to some, a kind of cotton stuff; according to others, a fine kind of flax, and linen made of it. Bugctum is a Latinised form of the English word budget, dim. ol budge, i.e., lamb skin with the wool dressed outside ; cp. " the budge-doctors." who wore this fur of budge on their capes or hoods. " Furrura: agninw," Innibsl-wool furs, of which these hoods were made. - Salcei, probably salted provisions for the Prior when out hunting, etc. these different Manors. 3 Sericus et sindou, silk and fine cotton stuff, or muslin, for the fittings of the Prior's chamber at the fair. * Capcllus, a little hood or cape, with a skein or fringing of black silk for the same, a kind of biretta, worn in Church at service. •' Pannus dc Wors/ede. This is the warm stuff made at Worsted in Norfolk, used for the Prior's cloak, hood and frocks, lie also wore a black tunic (answering to a Cassock?) ; it must have been different fiom u shin, us he had it furred.

In cyrothecis emptis pro diversis 1 The Apparitor of the Arches was the officer who transacted the lesser business of the Court of Arches (in Bow Church, London). a William of Shareshull, Justiciary of England, "Traillebaston," is mentioned in Edward Ill's Charter of St. Giles' Fair at Winchester (see that document in H. R. S. Winchester Cathedral Records, II, p. 65). He was made Judge of the King's Bench in 1333, and in the same year transferred to the Common Pleas ; dismissed and imprisoned for maladministration (the charge being made by the King) in 1340 ; reinstated, 1342 ; Chief Baron of the Exchequer, 1345 ; one of the Custodes of the Principality of Wales, during the minority of the King's son ; presided over the King's Bench, 1350-57 " was more of a political and parliamentary judge than a man of law." No chief justice is so seldom mentioned in the year books. He had the honour of being excommunicated by the Pope for fiavin" pronounced righteous judgment against the Bishop of Ely (Thomas de Lisle), who had slain a man of Lady Wake's suite. He was still living in 1364. The original meaning of "Traillebaston" is obscure. It may come from the "massuerii," or attendants, who trailed their batons as they escorted the judge : or it may come from the trellis or "cancellus" of the Bar. The office, however, is known, and I owe the following clear account of it to Mr. Wolseley Emerton, d.cl. :— " The Court of Traillebaston was a commission of Oyer" et Terminer, erected by Edward I, as is believed, by the Statute of Ra-man, ' De Justiciars assirnati; ' I > assigning, that is, particular Justices for cases of outrage, trespass, barratry, anil the like. William of Shareshull, Justice of the Common Pleas, would require a special commission before he could serve as ' Justiciarius de Traillebaston' (just as the judges do still when they go on circuit). These Special Commissioners, ' de Traillebaston,' are said to have distinguished themselves by great rigour." 3 Bursa, a purse, the Gk. gi^cra. It was a kind of honorary fee to the judges. ]': 4 Sessiona, a word not in Du Cange ; formed from the legal Fr. session. 15 Cassorum— is this ccesorum or carcosiorum ? there seems to be no word cassus. xix//. ijr.

The more common form is Ministelli "e.g. scurrte," who sang, played and jested, and were the amusers of a dull great man's hall. Is the word Germanic? a dim. of Minne, a love-song? or a dim. of Ministri? - Edmund of Bolesdone appears as a junior among the monks in the list of 1325. He was sent (Cath. Deeds, No. 268) with Master Richard of Bynteworthe in 1335, on the Convent's business to the Archbishop of Canterbury. 3 Mereatores de Peruchia. This means merchants belonging to the Socictas de Peruchia, a Florentine Banking Company, Who was the " Mercator de Chochia " who required so large a sum ere he was appeased? it must have been the repay ment of a heavy loan, ,£200, or about £2500 now. And what does it mean when it is said that Robert Dolsaly and others took the ^200 to London, and there paid it ; and also (at another time?) went to London to get thc money lent "ut patet superius, " by a certain Merchant of Chochia? Thc " ut patet" seems to refer to the entry higher up of the loan received from Guy of Lucca, ' ' Chochia " is probably the Italian city of Chioggia or Chiozza, not far from Venice. * Wonsyngtone, nowWonston, is a parish in Hants about six miles north of Winchester.

Item, in solutis ad Scaccarium Domini Regis pro 1 Andreas Sapiti was a Florentine banker, who acted as Procurator for Edward III. at the court of Rome. Wc find in the year 1333 (Cathedral Deeds No. 201) a letter from Andreas Sapiti acknowledging the receipt from Lapo Michaelis and Nicholas Raneiius, members of the " Societas Peruchiorum de Florentia," who were then residing at Rome, the sum of ^253. 6s. 8d. on behalf of Prior Alexander, to be used for the business of the Monastery in the Court of Rome ; "pro negotiis dicti domini Prioris suiquc capituli expediendis in curia, de quibus a pradictis sociis reputo contentus." 2 These lands at Hattingley must have been for some cause in the King's hands. They were enquired into and valued by the Sub-escheator, deputy to the Escheator, the royal officer who looked after the forfeiture of property to the Lord of the Fee,' The word is from O. Fr. eschoir, L, excadere, to fall out to. The Escheator was an English magistrate whose business it was to seize what he could for the royal hand. This Manor was granted to the Convent by a charter of Edward III which provided for the "mortification" of the lands (i.e., their amortissement, a licence to the Convent to hold lands in manu mortua). 3 This repayment of j£6o (now over /700) to a Merchant of the Perugia Company indicates the straits into which the Convent had got in its money-matters ; it was due to him under the Prior's hand "per scriptum obligatorium." Prior Alexander had clearly given his bond for a loan. And below, we see that the Convent has borrowing of Margaret at Burgh. The Perugia Company had its headquarters at Florence, with agents or branches elsewhere (see above for those at Rome). They had also a branch in London. i Nitidis cera, green wax, for which the Convent paid /"it. 141. into the royal treasury at York, ' R 242 Receiver's Roll.

'¦> This "quondam Donstaple " is probably the William of Dunstable for whose soul we learn that Masses were sung by the Convent in A.D. 1330 (see Cathedral Deeds, No. 134). 'J Elias of Wadeworthe, acting as the Prior's agent, "attornatus Domini Prioris in Scaccario Dni. Regis tam de Comitatu Suth. quam Wyltes," paid into the King's Treasury this sum of 43J. i,d. for sundry charges due to the Crown (see above). i Solidali computarum, must have been counters or tokens for traffic and exchange in St. Giles' Fair. The " Denarii Dei," may have been a kind of toll to the Church, or to the Bishop, for merchandise bought by the Convent in the Fair. 6 Pellura et cera. Skin, (parchment) and wax. There is still a government official styled the Clerk of the Pell. B There was an "atte Lane" family still atYateleyin 1365 (see H.R.S. Ill, p. 45). 7 Bishop Adam Orlton was, at the outset of his Pontificate, regarded as not altogether a happy appointment. He was thought to be a nominee of the King of France, and therefore treated with no little suspicion by the English King. It was at this very time, in 1334, that Edward III entered a caveat against him in the Court of Rome (see Collier E. H. Book vi, p. 64 ed. .840). It is not clear which side the Convent was on in this matter of the dispute between the Bishop and the Archdeacon of Surrey (name unknown) ; but the existence of any such dispute indicates the troubles which surrounded thc early years of this Episcopate. ct aliorum diversorum garcionum euntium ad diversa loca in nunciis Domini Prioris xixs. ixd.

Waverley Abbey in Surrey, about three miles from Farnham, was the first Cistercian House in England, and was founded by Bishop Giffard of Winchester, a.d. 1128. It was a daughter-monastery to Eleemosyna, or AumOne, a Cistercian House in Normandy, and the first Abbot of the new foundation with twelve monks came over in the year 1128 from Normandy to inhabit the fair green valley sheltered by CroOksbury Hill, R 2 244 Receiver's Roll.

It would be more easy to reckon out, did we know whether the large amount of stores of various kind were laid in for consumption within the Monastery only, or for sale also at the Fair ; whether the Convent Stalls on St. Giles' Hill were thus stocked with wine, and furs, and spices.

This entry appears to indicate the financial straits of the Convent. The Receiver placed these capital sums of ,£45, /io, and /15 (or in our money about £850), to annual account ; while at the same time he burdened the Convent with the life-payments, the amounts not here specified. The annuities under this head often amounted to very con siderable sums. John Iwon is mentioned in the Chamberlain's Rolls, some three- quarters of a century later than this time, as having had a house in Kingsgate Street, Winchester. 2 Galicianus the Merchant was probably Peter Galicianus, who, in 1330, was Constable of Bordeaux. The Monastery, through its large purchases of wine, had considerable dealings with the S.W.' of France. 3 J. of Wyke is named, in the Letters Patent of Edward III respecting the rights of the Bishop of Winchester to the ptolits of St. Giles' Fair, us one of the " malef.ictores " who resisted the Prelate. 246 Receiver's Roll.

This family of Hoyville, of which I can find no other trace and can only conjecture that they are named from some small place in Normandy, appears to have had permanent footing at St. Swithun's. In the Almoner's Roll of 1352 Philip of Hoyville rents three tenements in Kingsgate Street, Winchester, and docs not pay his rent. From this same Roll we learn that Thomas of Hoyville received from the Convent /41. 5.1. 4c/. for his own share and that of his brother Philip, there called Philippus de Ingelfelde (? Englefield in Berkshire), for the rent, etc., of the Hoyville wardship ; also the said Lord Thomas of Hoyville, who must have been a man of dignity, as he had Richard Wallop for his esquire, received £3. y. bd. from the Convent at the time of the Seisin taken of the said rents and wardship. The Hoyvillcs' tenement, close to Kingsgate Street is still to this day called " Hoyvil's gardens ; " the site is on the west side of the street, not far from Culver's Close. 3 Supcrtunica, " vestis qua: tuniccc superinjicitur." ?

Du Cange has " Officium in coquina," of the man in charge of pots and pans. The word appears in our scullion and scullery. i Pro Lortebournt mundando. This is for cleansing the stream now by corruption of language called thc Lockbourne. It is the underground river, which entering the Cathedral precincts to the N.E. of the Lady Chapel (after traversing the most thickly crowded part of the city), passed under, and acted as scavenger to, most of the Conventual buildings. It was divided into two streams, just to thc cast of the Chapter House ; of these the one went directly under the Chapter House itself, and through the Cloister and the Cloister Garth, where it received the water from the monks' lavatory ; thence it scoured thc Refectory kitchen, and so found its way under the group of buildings which stood at the S.W. corner of the Cloisters, to the river lichen. The other branch of it went under the monks' parlour and offices, here called the "Mandatum"; thence under thc Prior's outbuildings, and so to the river. It was inevitable that such a stream, after scouring City and Convent, must often have been very foul and offensive. In this Roll we find that it had been cleaned out at a heavy expense, and in an Indenture 250 Receiver's Roll. Receiver's Roll. 2$I Dona ct cxhcnni.i.; Lortcbournc emeudando, xjd.

For the history of this most interesting block of buildings in the High Street of Winchester, see Historic Tenons; Winchester, pp. 75, 77. Only ten years later than the date of this document Godbiete House \vas__ in a very bad way, " principale tencmentum minatur ruinam, et ij shoppa? in Flcsh- mongerestrete omnino decassas." A "shoppa" (a Germanic word, A.S. sceoppa, a booth) was a booth or stall set up against a building. Such "shops," the fore runners of our modern shops, are still often to be seen in foreign cities. Godbiete House was made up, as these Rolls shew, of (1) a chief holding, a house built round a court-yard in which was a well, so that the inhabitants need not, if threatened by the Crown or City, go forth to drawwater; (2) a "shoppa angularis," probably at the corner of Fleshmongerstreet (now St. Peter's Street) ; and (3) two "shoppa?" in Fleshmongerstreet, on which were sundry charges. These booths, probably intended for butchers, often stood vacant; and the whole property was in a bad way. The "tencmentum" itself was an oblong group of buildings, having thc south side in High street, east in Fleshmongerstreet, north and west being bounded by a narrow passage or " vcnella"; on the other side of the passage, to the north, stood in a little precinct of its own the Church of St. Peter in Macellis (so called from the meat-market and shambles), to which criminals fled for sanctuary. It was from St. l'eter's Tower that the curfew bell used to ring. This Church has now entirely disappeared, and is replaced by red-brick business-stores. The Dean and Chapter of Winchester have three or four Court Rolls of thc Liberty of Godbieate House, interesting and peculiar in character. They will, it is hoped, be published when the City Memorial Bool; of 1SS4 is issued. The Cathedral Archives contain a Deed of Release by which William of Dunstaple, a citizen of Winchester, released to Geoffry of Sibesdone, barber, his right to the rent of six shillings, being the rent of a " placea (or yard) in la Gotebycte, qua? jacet inter venellam qua? ducit ad ecclesiam S. Petri in Macello ex parte occidentali et placeam praidicti Galfridi ex parte orientali." Geoffry bought this rent of six shillings a year for forty shillings down, or under eight years' purchase. It also appears from the deed that William of Dunstaple had purchased it from Walter of Dunstaple, son and heir of Roger of Dunstaple. At this time, as we find by adding in all the six charges on it, the gross rent of Godbcate was £+ in <\d. 2 Cape/lani de Kalendria, there was a Church in Winchester, St. Mary Kalendar, now destroyed, in the lower part of the city, below the Abbey grounds, In superplusagio compoti anni pneocdentis cccxxxjft'. xs. iiijd. ob. ^Pcmplus' Summa — cccxxxjft'. xs. iiijd. ob.

Lat. form was Canebasium, from cannabis, Gr. y.a.tva.@i<;, hemp. 2 Corrodium A corrody was a yearly allowance in money or food, or even in chambers, granted by a Convent or other body in return for an advance of money, or other service rendered. In Appendix VI to the Introduction of this volume a varietv of corrodies can be seen, granted by St. Swithun s Priory. The Low Latin term, corrodium (a word which takes many forms, as conredium, conragium. correium, etc.), is a cross between Latin and Germanic, cum, and Icel. reida, tackle; ep. Engl., ray, in ar-ray. Du Cange defines the word as Quicqmd ao. alimentum, ad cibum, ad mensam, datur." See Introduction (pp. 159-17°.)- MX Lord William of Illebone (i.e., Lillebonne in Normandy) is first mentioned in 1327 (o 2=;6) In the Cathedral Archives there is a deed by which he, on Ascension Day 11 Edw II (i.e., 1321), gave to thc Prior and Convent of St. Swithun a messuage with curtilage " in villa de Draitona in parochia de Berthona Sacy, unum gurgitem jacentem in quodam loco vocato Gave/acre, cum aqua, itc, tres acras prati, unum pratum in parte orientali ipsius gurgitis, duo prata in parte occidentali," and other lands, a pasture called Langcham, two acres at Brandes bury (all in Harton Stacy Parish), others at Penbrocke, la Merkc, Strctford . . . g, Auutcdiche, over against a meadow called Kyngcsmedc. The corrody was no doubt granted him by the Convent for life in return for these gifts of lands, which, on his death, became free of charge. This happened in 1334. A roba appear* to have been ten ells of cloth, very costly, about 31. (now say 36s.) an ell. the " secta Domini Prioris," the Prior's suit, is cloth of the pattern worn by the Prior s dependents and family. 5 Bu?etum, Latin form of Budget, see above, p. 236, S Z 26o Hordarian' s Roll.

This sum, amounting then to ^210. in, i\d., or in money of our time to something not far from/2500, indicates that Prior Alexander must have been a man of no small means ; and also that members of a convent did some times retain private property for their own uses.

We see here the largeness of scale on which the Hordarian administered his important office. He had his Seneschal or agent, a Socius also or colleague-monk, a Tabularius or clerk of accounts, three Servientcs Manerii or bailiffs, and three horseboys. He had a fine new saddle, costing with bridle 26*. Sd. (or ^15 to /16 of' our money) sent for him from London to Oxford. He does not tell us whether (like his successor in thc office, Thomas Nevyle, in 1389, 1390) he was himself a student at Oxford ; probably he was. The one " scolaris Oxonia; studens " received the considerable sum of 301-. in this year (or £18 to ,£20). He had also cooks, more than one, and servants ; he bought horses, and had several heavy expenses going on. His estates were large: seven manors and some smaller properties to look after. His kinsman, the Prior, Hugh of Basing, paid a large sum (we are not told why) to the credit of the Office ; nnd lastly, the Hordarian left the Office cncumbcrcd'with a growing deficit. When he began the year it owed ^17. iSs. 7x/,d. ; when he gave in his account at the end of the year it owed ^33. 17*. 4X1/.

' From this it is clear that the ' native' was a serf, born of servile parents; that he was ' ascriptus glebae,' tied to the place at which he was born, and liable to be thrust back to it, and into his lord's hands and mercy, if he removed thence; we gather also that he could own chattels; but could not marry without his lord's leave and approval." This example is an instance of a convent liberating a serf, on payment of a round sum of money, 1 Note the large sum borrowed from the Edington chest, close on ^"500 ; and yet the account is unequal to the charges on it. 2 Electuariis, "electuaries," draughts; a confection, or medicine, made. of choice drugs, "between a syrup and a conserve," Cotgr.

In 1 This is a specimen of the way in which Monasteries, for the sake of some legacy or gift of lands, undertook to sing Masses, in this case daily, for the souls of gentlefolk departed this life. The Convent got a " pittance " at table on the death-anniversary of John Talmache (same name as Tollemache) ; a daily com memoration of the souls of John and Joan his wife took place at the Altar in the Lady Chapel, and thc monk in charge of that Altar also got a gratuity. The whole cost was £2. xy. Sd. (or about ,£32. lor.). Wc do not learn here what the Tollemaches left to the Office of Hordarian, but it can be gathered from documents in the Cathedral Archives. II, 75, No. 62, is a licence from Ingelram, Earl of Bedford and Lord of Coucy, to William of Wykeham, to grant the Manor of Up Somborne to John Talmache with remainder to the Prior and Convent of St. Swithun's, to be holdcn by them of thc Earl in the usual way. Dated August 20th, 41 Edw. Ill (136S). In 50 Edw. Ill (1376-7) is a deed by which Alice Talmach of Up Somborne, widow of John, leaves to John Warner, parson of the Church of Stockton, to Wm. Midelwynter, parson of St. George's Winchester, to Robert Cramborne nnd John Hemelyngton, Chaplains, all lier estate in Up Somborne Manor. She was no doubt mother-in-law (unless there is some mistake as to the Christian names) of the Joan who, with her husband John, had this daily "commemoration" in the Cathedral Lady Chapel. What her "estate" in the Manor was we know not ; the Manor passed to thc Convent between the vears 1401 and 1406 ; for in the Hordarian's Roll of 1401 there is no mention of the Talmachcs, and they are here referred to in 1406. In Up Soinborne which thus came into the hands of the Convent, there are lands still belonging to thc Dean and Chapter of Winchester, 2SS Hordarian's Roll.

Mottisfont Priory (not far from Romsey, Hants) was a House of Augustinian Canons : there were very few of them, only three in 1494. - Note the way in which a " Chest " was worked. The money was taken out, and an acknowledgment put in instead ; then as instalments were repaid, a note of it was made on the " tally," till all was repaid, when the tally was given back to the borrower, and the transaction ended. Thc method of reckoning "per talliam," which occurs perpetually in these documents, and which lasted (among bakers and sellers of daily provender) down to living memory, was this :— A tally was a long piece of wood notched on both sides to mark the sums received, and then split down the middle (when the transaction was complete), so that each party retained one of the two identical sets of notches. In Sir Walter Scott's Antiquary, Monkbarnes, it will be remembered, objects to a tradesman's book instead of the nick-sticks,- which, said he, were thc true ancient way of counting, " and sae they are, nac doubt." 290 Hordarian's Roll.

This chapel, of two bays, fills up the space between the east and west piers of thc tower. It was built about the beginning of the thirteenth century by one of the Priors, probably by Robert Fitzhemy, who was Prior from 1187 to 1214, or by his successor, Roger of Normandy, whose bones rest on the north side of the Chapel, It was covered with most interesting wall-paintings, probably executed by the artists whom Henry III brought to Winchester to decorate the four chapels at the Castle, and therefore earlier than Giotto's time. This chapel has suffered terribly from neglect, and worse ; for in 1852, when Willis' organ from the Great Exhibition of 1851 was placed above the Chapel, the Dean and Chapter, yielding to the wish of Dr. Wesley their organist, destroyed the western bay with its priceless wall-paintings, in order that the organist might have a staircase to enable him at any time to reach thc finger-board without being seen by the congregation in the Choir. The bellows for the organ were placed in the chapel, a great hole being cut through the painting of the Nativity for the wind-pipe, and thc remaining bay was given over to dust and neglect. What remains of it has now been care fully protected and cleaned. These wall-paintings are of unusual interest ; and arc, apparently, Italian work of the middle of the thirteenth century. Thc Chapel shews an interesting combination of Norman and Early English work. 29S Hordarian's Roll. Custusdomorum. Vadia et stipendia. Expensre forinseca;. dicta.

Breton gwaz. Corn, gwas, a youth, servant, vassal. In Bp. Stubbs' Constitutional History, HI, p. 600, it is shown that in the Fourteenth Century the Valletti were yeomen, and were "legales homines," who (in case of a lack of qualified knights) might be sent to Parliament as Knights of the Shire, This enlargement of rights was afterwards forbidden, in 1445. It shows that the " valettus " was a man of position in thc county, who tilled his own land. The im pertinence of the upper classes has degraded the word into either thc contemptuous " varlet " or the servile " valet."

Diet Roll. 307 VI.— DIET ROLLS OF THE DAILY MEALS AT ST. SWITHUN'S. Each of thc two Diet-Rolls which have survived has lost a part, one or more of thc skins having perished, Still, there is enough remaining to give a very clear notion of the way in which a large and important Convent was catered for, and thc amount and variety in food at thc close of thc fifteenth century. Both Rolls arc well written, and the earlier of them is in excellent preservation. The later Roll is tattered and very tender, through exposure to damp. S.S. 13 begins on All Saints' Day, November 1st, 1492, and continues to Whitsuntide ; ending on the Saturday before Whitsunday, viz, June 1st, 1493. S.S. 14 has neither beginning nor colophon : so that thc date of it can be got at only by a deduction. It is, in all probability, A.D. 1 5 14-1 5. If so, thc Roll begins on Monday, December 12th, 1514, and ends on Tuesday, September 19th, 1515. The two Rolls between them furnish us with a whole year's diet, except for thc six weeks from September 20th to October 31st. A glossary containing all thc unusual words in thc Rolls, with such explanations as I have been able to give, will be found at the end of this volume. It will be observed that I have printed a page in full, so as to give thc reader a fair notion of thc way in which the account was kept, and afterwards have been content to shorten the record, and to throw it into a form of a modern account. Thc way of reckoning out a week was this. First came Sunday, " Dominica " (sc. dies), which counted as Feria prima Feria soounda Feria tertia Feria quarta Feria quinta Feria sexta Sabbatum Sunday.Monday. Tuesday. Wednesday. Thursday. Friday. Saturilav. r ~- It is not quite certain what thc abbreviation " Mi0 " stands for: it seems to be "Mini.stratio"; and, if so, it refers to some division of thc monks for thc singing of thc Mass. The entries shew that thc ' Ministrants"' (who arc the monks told off on thc Tabula: Missa;) received some little addition to their dinner, beyond what was provided in common for all thc brethren.

Michaelis 1492 usque festum Pentecostes 1493. S.S. 14 [14.] [n ft. 9 in. by 12 in.] [First skin lost, and the colophon also lost with it.] As in this Roll the 16th April was Easter Day, and as Easter fell on that day only in 1441, 1503, 1514, 1525, etc., the date of the Roll is at once limited to one of two years. For in the MS. the " first creation " of Henry Broke as Sub-Prior is mentioned as having occurred in the year. Now Henry Broke became Prior in 1524, so that the first date, 1441, is impossible ; and as he could not have been created Sub-Prior after having been made Prior, 1525 also is out of the question ; and we are left to choose between 1503 and 1514. It is not likely that Henry Broke, who died in 1535 or 153G, would have been made Sub-Prior so early as 1503; and we are thus led to the conclusion that, in all probability, thc date of this Roll is A.D. 1514-1515.

He had to provide the brethren with their pocket money, thrice a year ox. 8d. each, so that each monk received a pound a year from him. He provided materials for thc ras/ura, the shaving days ; towels also for the lavatory in thc cloisters ; gifts of wine to sundry officials, including 5s. fur wine to the ISov Bishop (and this points, from its amount, to a gift of a dozen of wine or thereabouts, showing that the Boy Bishop was expected to give a large entertainment, perhaps to all he monks in the Convent, on Holy Innocents' Day). The occasion of Audit was also a tunc of some festivity, for he held his "Conntia" on those days and expended 2ix. on then.

This was a field between Kingsgate Street and the river, named after the washerwomen who made use of it. There were formerly two irrigated meadows in St. Michael's Parish, enfranchised to Winchester College, and still known as Lavender's Mead and Allan's Mead. People think wrongly that it is named from the lavender grown there : it was the other way, lavender, the plant, takes its name from the washerwomen, who placed it between the clean linen. John Iwon's pigeon house had encroached, and was partly built on it. 2 Also spelt I-.vonc. John Iwon appears more than once in the Cathedral records, In 1338 he witnessed a deed of sale of a tenement, granted by Rob. Russel ; and some time after we find how he came into possession of this pigeon- house. For Alicia Russel, wife of Rob. R., grants John Iwon all her holdings " cum curtilagio et gardino adjacente . . . inter niansum fratrum de S. Augustino ad boream et venellam quae vocatur Mullelane ad oustrum," and this was in Kingsgate Sticct. In 1337-8 he appears to have bought a corrody from the Monastery ; sec pp. 162, 245. 8 Rastura, e.g. rasitura, shaving times. See Lanfranc, and also Customary of St. Swithun's Refectory (H. R.

The feastday and official service of each officer of thc Convent was called his O. See Introduction, p. 6r, and Consuetudinary of St. Swithun's, p. 41. The Depositarian's fee is entered twice. 2 Pro cuculla sua, his new hood or cowl. It was usual, originally, for the Chamberlain, out of the revenues of his estates, to provide articles of dress for certain officers on certain great days ; this, after a time, became commuted in a natural way for a gift of money, which thc officer was supposed to expend on a cowl. 3 This yearly usage of summoning the officers and brethren to the " Comitia Custodis," his annual Audit-day, has survived in some places in the form of an Audit-dinner, given not now to the members of thc Corporation, but to the tenants and others under the corporate body. The form comecia as a feminine singular, instead of thc neuter plural comitia, is interesting. Brachet's Historical Grammar (5H1 English edition, p. 107), "The suppression of the neuter, which dates very far back, was brought about in two ways ; (t) neuter substantives were made masculine, and (2) neuter substantives became feminine, as ' pecoras, pcr°-amenam vestimentas.'" ° ' < Pari de Bolys, etc. Thc " Custos" (i.e., of the Manors of Westmeon and Hanime),_ who was also the Chambeilain, had a right to certain clothing from the estates. The ' ' pair of boots," not an article of monastic dress, were clearly for his use when visiting the estates in person. 5 For sella, a saddle. 8 Collerum, a horse-collar, a L.

The nesting of the swans on the Convent waters ; and as the Curtarian had his revenue from places on the river Itchen, above and below Winchester, it is more than probable that these swans and cigniculi, or cygnets, had their homes in the neighbourhood of the city. There is another reference to the duties of the Swanherd on p. 38S. 2 Blaunche ponders, (on p. 388, spelt blanch poder). This powder, often men tioned in old cookery receipts, was compounded of ginger, cinnamon, and nutmegs. Thus, in Austin's Cookery Book, p. 15, to make " Cawdelle Ferry," "whan bou dressyst yn, caste blanke ponder her-on."

It is thus connected with Maundy. At St. Swithun's the Mandatum appears to have stood to the south of the Church, between the Chapter house and the Prior's Lodgings. See plan of the buildings, opposite p. 19. Paroisum (if reading is correct) is the Porch. 2 Canavetum, canvas, stuff made de canabo. Usually cancvasium. 3 Natis, i.e., nat/is, mats. ¦' John Syfrewast was a lawyer of note. We do not know what thc dispute had been between him and the Abbot of Waverley. Nor do we know why the " dies amoris," a pretty phrase, i.e. , the reconciliation, should have taken thc Almoner to Oveilon, a village about twelve miles from Winchester, and nine miles horn Basingstoke. 4CO Almoners' Rolls. k.

The Abbot in 1352 \\as probably Waller of Fifide. - Abbas de Dureford. Dureford was in Sussex, a Procmonstratcnsiau House, founded before 1169. In the "valor" under Henry VIII, we find that this house had a receipt of 6s. Sd. from a house in the Soke of Winchester. It is not known who was Abbot at this time.

He was a close friend of William of Wykeham. We see from this Roll that the Almoner was eager to improve himself, and went to Oxford to study this year, leaving his duties as Warden of Ilcnlon and Almoner, to be attended to by others. Our first notice of him is in the Hordarian's Roll 13S1-2, in which he was for Ave weeks in the Infirmary sick, and received a dole of 2s, 6d. (or 6d. a week). The characteristic liltle figure which sits between two other monks at William of Wykeham's feel in the Chantry in the Cathedral Nave is probably the effigy of Prior Thomas. - This Deed, with its repairing lease of a tenement in Kingsgate Street, " now partly fallen down," al a 110111i11.il lent iu Thomas Panyler anil Alice his wife, with remainder to their servant Sibyll, is interesting. redditus. 416 Almoners' Rolls.

This is the only passage in which glass is mentioned in our' Rolls, though the " vitriator " finds a place in the Roll of the Custos Operum, A.D. 1533 (p. 217), as making windows in the Rcfcclory and elsewhere. The glass here- bought was for the windows of the Chapel at Quedhampton, and was rather costly : 40 feet of glass costing 20s., or 6rf. (now = about 6s.) a foot. The present price of common glass, such as one sees in old church windosvs, would be jd. a foot, so that it was about eighteen times as dear as now. 462 Almoners' Rolls. S.S. 45 [45].

E-ROGARE-to distribute (bread to the poor) ; from the late Lat. roga a donative, honorarium, given to magistrates and others, and afterwards to the populace, by the emperors.

Espekinu.m,— a building attached to the Convent. It may have been a chamber looking west, hespera, vespera. From p. 395 it would seem that the place was directly connected with the burial of thc dead monks, perhaps a mortuary. Exhennium,— a gift, a barbarous form of Gr. |.W (see p. 250). See Du Cange, s. v. exenium. Exhiditio — an exhibition, of a scholar at the university ; a sum provided annually towards his support. Exitus,— outgoings, residuals, of the brewhouse or kitchen.

Each document then presented a toothed edge atop ; whence the name. Then, when one party took his copy into a court of law, if it was proved genuine by the lest of application to the other copy, it could be accepted as evidence. The opposite to it is a " Deedpoll," or single docu ment with a level top. Inhere (or perhaps Judere),— this word, which I cannot trace, represents something made in stone, and covered in with new wooden planks, between thc Almoner's garden and the Gardener's garden. It must have been a small matter, as the whole cost, including the planks, was only 4s. 6d, or something between 50J. and 60s. of our present money.

Fr. form Joel, jowl (whence joyau), a dun. of joye, comes really from the Lat. gaudia (used in med Latin as a fern. sing.). Then it was wrongly latinised into jocale, as if it were connected, which is not the case, with Lat. jocus. Jussellum ,— " Jusselle or dyschelle, dyshe mete, jussellum." P. P O. Fr. jussel, from Lat. juscellum, a late Lat. word for soup, dim! H h 493 Glossary. of jus. Austin, C.

Mandatum, — one of the chambers, perhaps the guest-chamber, in the Monastery (see p. 399, note 1, and plan of conventual buildings opposite p. 19). Here guests, when received, had their feet washed ; and this washing was styled the Maundy (Mandatum) because it was .specially done in a convent on the Thursday before Easter (Maundy Thursday), on which day the verse "Mandatum novum do vobis" was sung during thc washing. It will be seen that this verse occurs {John xiii, 34) just after the washing of the feet of the disciples by our Lord (see Consuetudinary of St. Swithun's Refec tory, p. 22 and n. 31, p. 44).

Parvisus — a porch (if the reading on p. 399 is correct). Parvisus is a Med. corruption of Lat. paradisus, Gr. va^uhtace. The word is originally Persian, and appears in the Greek language only under the auspices of Xenophon, who naturally used Oriental words in describing Oriental things. It signified a pleasure- ground or park, surrounded with wall or paling, in which animals were kept. In the middle ages it came to be used of the en closures round Churches, "Atrium porticibus circumdatum ante a;des sacras " ; whence it was transferred to the porch. At Winchester there was an enclosed garden to the north-east of the Cathedral Church planted with apple trees, which was called "the Dean's Paradise." By a curious misuse, the undergraduate slang phrase for the earliest Oxford University examination, " Responsions," " going in for Smalls," comes from this word. The examination used to be held in the Porch of St. Mary's (the University Church), "in Parviso ccclesire B. Marke Virginis"; and from these " Responsiones in Parviso," the undergraduates, whose knowledge was slight, imagined that this examination was held either in a small place or on small subjects (which was true enough), and so nicknamed it "Smalls."

Pensio,— a payment (not a " pension ") ; certain churches had to pay considerable sums (see p. 210) to the Custos Operum. Pentisium,— a '' pentis " or (corruptly) penthouse ; from Lat. appen- dicium, through O. Fr. appattis, apentis. Appendicium is from ad, and pendere, something that hangs (or leans) to, so that "penthouse" is a doublet of ''appendix." Pentisium is a curious example of a word derived from an English word, which, in its turn, is derived from a classical Latin source. Perdonare,— to pardon : a L. Lat. word, meaning specially "to remit a debt," per donum, by giving it to the debtor. Pergamenum,— parchment, paper of Pergamos. PERQUISITUS,— claimed by perquisition : the English "perquisite," a thing regarded as an extra profit, refers properly to fines, waifs, etc., accruing to the lord beyond the regular rent of his land, and S04 Glossary. comes from I, Lat. subst. perquisitum. Our word here is the p.p. from perqmrere, to make thorough search into or after. A farm or tenement thus taken by perquisition was surrendered to the lord by force, the lord paying a rent for it.

Plessclls, p. 120. Virgata— a virgate of land, a yard-land, a quantity of land between 24 and 30 acres. Visitatio,— an Episcopal visitation. The entry on p. 2S3 is curious. The Bishop (William of Wykeham), appears to have inspected the Monastery, and to have ordered the Hordarian's office to pay over a hundred shillings yearly to the cook of the Convent. This he does not do, and enters it as "nichil, quia officium impotens est illud stipportare hoc anno." The amounts for the year are not summed out in this MS., so that we cannot tell exactly how far Brother Ralph Basyng was justified. It is, however, clear from the account that the payments largely exceeded thc income. Vitriarius,— a glazier ; Lat. vitrum, glass. Volta.— a vault ; a L. Lat. word derived from Lat. volutus, voiuta, p. p. of volvere. W. Warda, -guardianship ; a child was " put in ward." A. S. weard ; Warda is the medieval English word latinised. WARENNA,-a warren, a L. Lat. word formed from a German root, seen in O. H. G. warjan, werjan, to protect. Warentizare,— to guarantee, warrant, a Germanic word ; O. H. G, warjan, werjan, to protect. Glossary. 513 Waternayle,— a nail for use under water (see p. 211), Wedmole— wadmal, coarse stuff, from wait, a small lump of stuff, bundle of tow, a Scand. word; led. vad ; Swcd. vadd ¦ cp. also the use of the word weed for clothing, as in " widow's weeds," from A. S. wide, a garment. Wetherbordandum,— to be covered with weather-boards, a process still not unknown when the side or end of a house is exposed to wet. The boarding overlapped (as in clinker-built vessels) in such a way that the rain was thrown downwards, and ran off to the ground without sinking into the wall. Whytynge,— whiting, a kind of fish. Wigate,— apparently a small door, a wicket, usually within a larger door. Wodewarde,— a wood-warden. Wvrwynckles,— periwinkles, a small round shellfish. Perhaps so called because, when extracted, the creature is long and thin like a bit of wire. In East Anglia it used, years ago, to be called " pin-patch." The A. S. names for the periwinkle were pine- wincla or sas-sn&l (see Wright-Wulcker, 122-24). Yemalis, /. q. HIEMALIS,— pertaining to winter. Zabulum, or SABULUM,— sand, Fr. sable. Zinziberum,— ginger. Zucrum,— sugar ; Fr. sucre ; Arabic sokkar, sugar ; a word of Sanskrit origin ; cp. Prakrit sakkara, Skr. sarkara, brown sugar.
