INTRODUCTION
IT requires a considerable stretch of the imagination to
picture the state of the ancient chapelries of Padiham,
Burnley, Cliviger, and Colne, and of the Forest of Pendle,
as they existed before the Norman Conquest. Our only
evidence as to the economic and civil condition of this
region at that time is to be obtained from a consideration
of the village place-names and the rating or assessment of
the locality to the ancient levy known as Danegeld, upon
which was based the share which each town was required
to contribute to penalties imposed by the officers of the
Crown for offences committed within the county, hundred,
wapentake, or tithing ; also for contributions of men,
money, or substance for the defence of the realm on sea
or land, or for levies, known in the twelfth century as
" Aids," when the king required money for the general
purposes of the State. The most ancient division of
regions for these purposes, and for the object of mutual
protection of the inhabitants, or of mutual responsibility
towards the Crown and the lord of the region, was by
households known, as early as the time of Bede, as
manentes or casati. Each manens or casatus had at the
end of the seventh and beginning of the eighth century,
when Bede wrote his Ecclesiastical History, a habitation,
buildings of wood, wattle, and daub for the housing of
plough-oxen, other stock and crop, and a team of eight
oxen for the purpose of tilling the soil and raising crops
of corn, which chiefly consisted of oats, rye, and barley,
often more or less mixed, and occasionally of wheat, also
more or less mixed with other grains. The existence of
a single casatus did not necessarily signify a family con
sisting of parents and children only, but rather the exist
ence of a " head-man," with his family and dependents.

vi INTRODUCTION
After the temporary inclusion of this district in the
Mercian kingdom in 829, the local units of assessment
would gradually cease to be known by the terms casati or
manentes, and that of " hide " would be substituted. This
term continued in use until after the Danish conquest,
about the year 867, when the organization of society
which distinguished those parts of eastern and northern
England, known as the Danelaw, would gradually supersede
and more or less obliterate the evidences of Mercian rule.
In the tenth century, or, as some think, in the reign of
Canute (9947-1035), these regions were rated for the
purposes of taxation and administration by " carucates," a
unit of assessment probably based upon the household or
casatus, and theoretically containing 1 20 acres of arable
land. These carucates were grouped in villages to any
number from one to sixty, according to the size, popula
tion, and character of the land in each village, and in the
regions north of the Humber were usually from 50 per
cent, to 350 per cent, more in number than the unit under
the more ancient system of assessment by the casatus.
These were further grouped in small " hundreds "of 12
carucates each, and large " hundreds " of 1 20 carucates
each. There was also a rather mysterious grouping of
areas of 14 carucates, called a " Tenmantale," a com
munity originally consisting of ten households or families,
which united for mutual protection, and were collectively
responsible for the acts of each member of the little com
munity. In the southern parts of England these were
known as tithings or, in Latin, decenaries. One important
peculiarity in the region lying between the rivers Ribble
and Mersey, which still survived at the time of the
Domesday Survey, was the assessment of some towns or
vills by hides, and some by carucates. In each of such
hides there were 6 carucates of land until William Rufus
or Henry I. reduced each hide in the wapentakes of
Salford and Blackburn to 4 carucates. It seems pos
sible that the hide represented an older basis of assess
ment, and that new villages created after the Danish
conquest were assessed by carucates only. There is no

//

INTRODUCTION vii
evidence that any of the towns which were included in
the manors of Ightenhill and Colne had ever been assessed
as hides ; so that the assumption is reasonable that they
came into being after the Mercian conquest, and were not
assessed by carucates until the Danelaw had been well
established. Without devoting more words to the details
of these systems of assessment and grouping, about which
many books have been written, I will proceed to describe
those places, in the valley of the West Calder or Pendle
Water, which were assessed by carucates and, by, virtue
of the composition of the place-name, seem most likely to
have been the centre of small village communities in Saxon
and Danish days.
Beginning towards the foot of Pendle Water, or the
West Calder, we have Padiham, the ham, or home, of
Padda, or of the descendants of Padda. This town was
assessed at 3 carucates of land, each carucate contain
ing 8 bovates or oxgangs, and each bovate 9 Lancashire
acres. Next, Habergham Eaves, formerly Habringham, the
ham, or home, of Haedbeorh, with which Burnley, the
leah, or field, by the burn, and Towneley, the leah near
the tun, or town, were associated as one village unit,
assessed at 2 carucates of land, containing 16 bovates
or oxgangs, each of 9 acres.
Next, Cliviger, formerly Clivecher, the etymology of
which is unknown, which was assessed at 1 carucate of
land. Near it, Worsthorn, formerly Wordestorn, or Worthes-
thorn, the thorn-tree by the worth, or homestead, which
was assessed at 3 carucates of land.
Next, Extwistle, formerly Extwysel, the twisle, or fork,
in the brook by the ac, or oak, which was assessed at
i carucate, or 4 bovates, and was probably associated with
Briercliffe, formerly Brereclive, the cliff of the briar, also
assessed at \ carucate, as one town.
Next, Great and Little Marsden, anciently Merkesden,
or Merchesdene, and later Merclesdene, of which the prefix
is of doubtful derivation and the suffix means dean or

viii INTRODUCTION
valley, which were assessed at 2 carucates of land, of
which 6 bovates, each of 9 acres, were in Little Marsden,
and 10 bovates, probably of the same area, in Great
Marsden. Next, Colne, anciently Cain, or Kaun, derived like Koln
(Cologne) from the Latin Colonia, a colony, which was
assessed with Alkincoats, anciently Altenecotes, the cots
or dwellings of Alta, at 2 carucates of land, and with
which Foulridge, formerly Folric, or Folrigge, the foul
ridge (?), assessed at 1 carucate, was probably associated
as one town.
Higham, in the Forest of Pendle, which seems from its
local pronunciation to mean the high ham, or home, was
made waste or spoilt as a village community, and added
to the chase, or deer forest, which Ilbert de Lacy (1070-
1090 ?) or Robert his son (1090 ?— 1 1 14) created for his
pastime when sojourning at Clitheroe. It is likely that it
was assessed as a carucate, but when spoilt the population
would be removed to Padiham, the assessment of which
may have then been increased by as much as was lost
at Higham.
Tabulating these particulars we obtain the following
assessments for the district under review : —

This, then, was the administrative arrangement of the
district in the tenth century and after ; from which the
student of history may trace, as the development of ten
centuries, the boroughs, urban and rural district councils;
and smaller rateable areas which exist at this day.

A

INTRODUCTION ix
During the twelfth century the lords of the honor of
Clitheroe made numerous grants to their vassals, in order
that the baronial service of some 3! knights due from
this honor might be provided whenever the king sum
moned his barons to do military service in France, Wales,
Scotland, Ireland, or on the Marches, or to repel invasion.
By this means Towneley, Cliviger (for a time), Wors
thorn, Extwistle, and Foulridge were granted away from
the lands which are usually described as the demesne.
This term describes the estate which a baron retained in
his own hands, just as an English landowner keeps his
home-farm in hand and works it by means of a bailiff and
hired servants. So then the Lacies retained Padiham,
Habergham, Burnley, Briercliffe, Great and Little Marsden,
Alkincoats, and Colne in their own hands, with the ex
ception of certain small freeholds there which they created
from time to time. This they did because it was incon
venient to have only bondmen, or villeins — that is, men
of a servile status — upon these demesne manors. There
may also have existed at Habergham and Alkincoats the
descendants of thegns who had been in possession before
the Conquest, and who retained their free condition after
that event. Whether some of the free tenants, who are
found in the time of Henry III. in possession of bovates
of land and small tenements, which had been ridded or
reduced to cultivation from the surrounding commons or
wastes, had descended from thegns, or were settlers or
colonists who had found it convenient to leave some
distant home and settle elsewhere, one cannot say with
certainty. But just as settlers are ever welcomed in our
colonies to-day, so in mediaeval times they were always
welcome in a wild and sparsely inhabited region ; and
any land which they reclaimed would become theirs, to
occupy upon the easy terms that they duly conformed to
the customs of the manor and town in which they settled,
and rendered yearly, by two half-yearly payments, 4 pence
for each Lancashire acre admeasured by the greave with
the lord's measure. This rent or acknowledgment became
customary at an early period, and was seldom varied

x INTRODUCTION
throughout the period covered by local records from the
twelfth to the seventeenth century.
As to the reasons which induced the lord to create
free-tenants, or to encourage them to settle by granting
to them parcels of his demesne land, or lands already
reclaimed and improved which came into his hands by
forfeiture for felony, outlawry, the demise of the former
tenant without known heir and other similar causes, they
are not far to seek. It was necessary to have suitors
to do suit and service to the Wapentake and Halmote
Courts, to act as officials in various capacities, to hold
serjeanties — that is, to fill the permanent and hereditary
posts of mason, carpenter, blacksmith, falconer, forester,
keeper of the lord's hounds, to lard his deer and hogs,
to summon people to his local courts, and do other duties
such as are commonly described in mediaeval records.
Besides all these reasons there remains the commonplace
one, which is as true to-day of the owners of real estate
as it was a thousand years ago, that every one, were he
the possessor of ten acres or of twenty manors, desired
to increase, whenever he could, the yearly issues in money
or in kind obtainable from his estate.
I now turn to that interesting class of society which
formed the bulk of the population of every normal village
for several centuries after the Conquest, the villeins or
rustics, bondmen, and cottiers. These classes belonged
in theory to the lord of the manor as chattels, and must
needs remain so from generation to generation without
change, unless the lord granted manumission, and so
made them free. But although their condition seems
to us an odious one, it was not so servile as ,the term
slave or serf conveys to our mind. They could not be
required to serve in the army, like the modern conscript,
and they could not, as a rule, be removed from one place
to another. Their lives and well-being were insured in
the place where they dwelt, because they were the pro
perty of the great man of the district in which they lived,
so that in famine times he fed and clothed them. They
had little or no desire to tempt fortune by leaving the

/,'

INTRODUCTION xi
home where they were born and bred — a characteristic
which too often in the present time is applauded and
encouraged in the congested districts of Scotland and
Ireland where there is a limited scope, or perhaps no
scope at all, for reclamation of the wastes to support
more souls. In north-east Lancashire, in the first six
centuries after the Conquest, there was unlimited scope
for reclamation of land, which well repaid the labour and
improvement spent upon it, and ultimately became the
habitation of the great and numerous class of yeomen
copyholders to whose character and physique Lancashire
owes her greatness, and whose training in frugality, in
dustry, and adaptability laid the foundations first of the
worsted industry, and later of the cotton spinning and
weaving and allied industries.
Fortunately we possess a satisfactory series of records
from which to obtain particulars of the services to be
done by the bondmen and cottars. Of villeins or rustics
we find little or no mention- in the local records.
In Padiham with 24 bovates of land in demesne, in
Burnley with 1 3 bovates, in Little Marsden with 6 bovates,
in Colne with 10J bovates, and in Great Marsden with
10 bovates, all in demesne, the tenant of each bovate
in 1258 ploughed for one day yearly 1 perch of the lord's
demesne land — that is, a strip 21 feet broad by 280 yards
long, or the fourth part of a Lancashire acre ; this was
reckoned to be worth \\d. from each bovate, a sum which
was afterwards paid in lieu of the boon-work. Further,
he was required to reap the lord's corn for three days in
harvest time ; this was also worth 1 \d. per bovate in the
year 1258. Those who held bovates by free tenure did
not perform, these services. By the year 131 1 it had
been found more advantageous to the lord to commute
the services for a money rent. So we find in that year
, 24 bovates at Padiham, 10 bovates at Burnley, 3! bovates
at Little Marsden, and \o\ bovates at Colne, paying
4 pence each for day or boon-works remitted, and 12J
bovates in Great Marsden paying 6 pence each for the
same. From this we see that the boon-works of the

xii INTRODUCTION
bondmen in Great Marsden had been half as much again
as those on the other demesne manors. These rents
eventually merged in the customary or copyhold rents
paid for these bovates, which were later known as " ox
gang land," in distinction to land ridded or improved from
the commons and wastes which were known as " rode
land " ; they are paid to this day by the present owners of
these lands. This brings before our minds the wonderful
changes that have taken place in this district during 650
years. Where then eight oxen were labouring through
the stiff Burnley soil with a heavy wooden plough and
bondmen at their heads and another between the stilts,
the descendants of these same bondmen, it may be, in the
twenty-fourth generation, are standing at six looms over
the same clods which were being turned six and a half
centuries ago, and are engaged in making cotton cloth
for countries as far distant as India and China !
I want to show the reader how, from the very small
beginnings of the first settlers, the cultivated lands, by the
patient and laborious effort .of generation after generation,
were extended from the first clearings, where are now the
more fertile meadows and holmes by tbe water-sides,
upwards to the edges of the moors. This was effected
by very slow degrees — by draining the fenny places, fell
ing the trees and scrub and ridding out the stocks, remov
ing the rocks, and making walls and hedges against the
deer, and to prevent straying of cattle and sheep. From
the tenth to the thirteenth century the depredations of
wild animals, especially of the wolf, among the flocks,
and of the deer among the growing corn, were very
grievous, and only to be avoided by constant watch, kept
in turn by the husbandmen from the hour when the
sheep and cattle were daily driven from the homesteads
and folds to the common pasture, until the evening when
they were driven home again. When we try to think
of such conditions of life, we begin to grasp the true
meaning of the word " common." For protection of flocks
and herds the pasturage among the woods or near the
moors must be enjoyed in common, and so we say that
the unenclosed part of our village is " the common." The

A

INTRODUCTION

xm

husbandmen must have wood and timber for the build
ing and repair of their houses, barns, and shippons, for
making carts, ploughs, and harrows, and for fuel ; there
fore each village had its common wood, or where there
was peat, a common turbary. From the village all had
need to go to the wood, the common pasture, the moor,
the church, the mill, or the neighbouring market ; the
road which led to all these places was the " common
way." So those who had once to combine for protection
and to organize themselves, so that their village and town
ship might not be oppressed by neighbours or foreigners,
and so that they might be responsible and attentive to
the rights of their manorial lord, are known as the
" commonalty " or " commons " ; their general welfare is
the " commonwealth," and their place of meeting at Parlia
ment is " the House of Commons."
In the eleventh century we may conclude that each of
the towns which I have set in the table above contained
little or no cultivated land beyond the carucates and
bovates upon which they were assessed by taxes. These
cultivated lands lay most likely in two fields, sometimes
known as the Westfield, the Southfield, the Townfield, or
similar names. One was tilled each year, and the other
lay fallow and was used for pasture. When therefore
we read that each bovate contained 9 acres, we may
assume that each bovate had 9 acres in each field. Upon
this basis the cultivated land in the demesne townships
under review would amount to the areas given below,
which are given in Lancashire acres of 7 yards to the
perch, of which 1 o are about equal to 1 6^. statute acres.

Thus we see how small a proportion of the modern
township was then under cultivation.
Not until 1258 do we glean any facts as to the area of
land which had been ridded and reclaimed since the first
settlement of the district. Under that year we obtain the
following particulars of " rode land " : —

There were also in Padiham eight cottars who paid
6 pence each for their tofts and crofts, seven in Burnley
who paid 6 pence each, and one who paid 12 pence.
None are mentioned in Little Marsden at this time. It
was probably long before the year 1258 that Ightenhill,
Padiham, Habergham, Burnley, Briercliffe, and Little
Marsden had been united as one manor and made subject
to the jurisdiction of the Halmote held at the Hall of
Ightenhill ; not improbably this was done early in the
twelfth century, when the demesne lands had been re
duced by grants made to feudal tenants to much the same
extent as they were in 1258.

smith. In 1305, ioj acres of land were improved in
Colne. The growth of these towns can also be illustrated by
the sums collected when a subsidy -was granted, as in
1237, when a thirtieth part of the goods and chattels of
every householder who possessed such to the value of
40 pence or more was taxed; again, in 1327, when a
twentieth part of the goods of those who had such to the
value of 1 0 shillings or more was taxed ; and again in
1332, when a fifteenth in like manner was taxed.
To the following table showing the total value of goods
taxed to the three subsidies I have added the ancient
Fifteenth, which was based upon the subsidy of 1332,
and was used as the basis of assessment until the seven
teenth century.

The great reduction in the value of goods in 1327 and
1332, as compared with 1237, was due to the fact that
in the earliest year all except those who had goods worth
less than 40 pence were taxed, but in the two later

- INTRODUCTION xvii
subsidies all who had goods worth less than io shillings
were exempt.
Again, the growth of the district can be illustrated by
the values returned in rentals over a period of years, as
in the subjoined table. In studying the particulars it must
be borne in mind that those for 1258 and 1 3 1 1 are from
inquests, where nominal values were returned ; that for
1242 is from an "extent," and the remainder are from
rentals.

INTRODUCTION xix
These particulars tell us that the great period of growth
in these places occurred between the middle of the thir
teenth and the middle of the fourteenth century. Towards
the end of the latter century, and through the succeeding
one, the admittances to newly improved lands were in
respect of continually decreasing parcels of land, proving
that the individual tenements had grown by the addition
of improved lands until they became practically conter
minous with one another, except where improvements were
forbidden, namely, on the recognized commons. Towards
the end of the reign of Elizabeth even these were allotted
and parcelled out, as the records given in the Appendix
show. The sale and alienation of copyhold tenements was un
common until towards the middle of the sixteenth century.
The first recorded occasion on which a new-comer came
into court and paid cash down for a copyhold tenement
seems to be that on which my ancestor Richard Akeroyd
purchased from Christopher Lister of Middop, co. York,
esquire, in 1544, for the sum of £46, 13s. \d., the
messuage and tenement then known as " The Foldes,"
now Folds House, in Briercliffe, but better known among
the older natives of the locality as " Akrod's." 1
In the Introduction to the first volume of The Court
Rolls of the Honor of Clitheroe, attention has been directed
to many of the local customs which grew up under the
aegis of the Halmote Courts, and conduced to good order,
good morals, and the comfort and well-being of the general
community. The sense of responsibility and self-respect
which the local constitution engendered seems to me to
have been the moving influence in the creation of those
qualities of independence of character, self-reliance, geni
ality of manner, industry, and thrift, which have been, are,
and I trust ever will be, the distinguishing characteristics
of the old natives of north-east Lancashire.
Let no man to-day look upon his forefather of five or
six centuries past as a man little better than a slave, and
1 This estate is now the property of the author of this volume, who is
tenth in direct descent from the purchaser named above.

xx INTRODUCTION
Upon himself as being as free and " as good a man as
any one else." " The trivial round, the common task " of
those early days, contentedly borne and patiently per
formed, engendered all the finest qualities which helped
Englishmen to build up a great Empire during the six
teenth to the nineteenth centuries. Are we to-day sure
that our present mode of living, and the restless pursuit
of short-lived pleasures after the working hours are over,
will help us to do our duty to each other, and to do our
part individually in the maintenance and government of
the Empire which our forefathers won for us, as well as
did the humbler and more controlled methods of our fore
fathers ? Their attitude towards their life's work, amid
hardships and privations unknown to-day, was surely like
that which one of our modern poets has urged each one
of us to employ —
" Like a star that shines afar, without haste and without rest,
Let each man wheel with steady sway
Around the task that rules the day,
And do his best."

The abstracts of the Halmote Rolls of the Manor of
Ightenhill were made by me in the years 1890-91. My
acknowledgments and thanks are due to Mr. Arthur
J. Robinson of Chatburn, late Steward of the Honor of
Clitheroe, and to his son, Mr. Fred. D. Robinson, now
Steward, for affording me every facility during the course
of the work ; to Mr. John Brownbill, M.A., for assistance
in passing the proofs through the press, and to my Secre
tary, Mr. Thomas Price, for compiling the Indexes.

on Thursday next before Pentecost, 30 Henry VIII.
[6 June, 1538].
The jurors firstly present that whereas Robert Shakerlay,
sen., was seised of six acres of land in Shottylworth Eez
and thus died seised, and Thomas Shakerlay was his son
and heir and was gone beyond sea out of the kingdom of
England and there was tarrying when he died neither seised
nor having made fine with the King according to custom,
thereby the said six acres reverted into the hands of the
King upon the death of the said Robert Shakerlay, sen. ;
and Robert Shakerlay, son of Thomas, is his kinsman and
next heir of the said Robert his grandfather. Therefore the
said Robert claimed admittance, but Gilbert Holden, gent.,
and Henry Shottylworth and other honest persons standing
round presented in court and gave intelligence to the
Steward that a certain Anne Shakerlay, daughter of Robert
Shakerlay, sen., and sister of the said Thomas Shakerley
fined with the King for the said six acres immediately after
the death of Robert Shakerlay her father by information of
the said Anne to the then Steward that the said Thomas
her brother was then tarrying over seas without heirs of his
body begotten, whereby the said land ought to descend by
right to her as daughter and next heir of the said Robert
her father. Which information and fine of the said Anne,
after examination in full court, was found void and of no
effect, in that the said Anne did fraudulently and unjustly
fine for the said premises.
Thereupon after a second -proclamation had been made,
as of custom was wont, no one forbad. Whereupon the
said Robert Shakerlay, jun., was admitted to fine, 2s. And
afterwards to the same Halmote came the said Robert
Shakerlay and surrendered the said six acres of land in
Shottylworth Eez to the use of Edmund Ascheton, esq.,
who was forthwith admitted to fine, 2s.

You are to inquire of Quit Rents of the Freeholders of the yearly

Manor of Colne. Concerning Cottages.
Wee finde that all and everie the moores commons and all and
everie improvements and incrochments now or heretofore inclosed or
improved or hereafter to bee inclosed or improved were granted by
king James to the Freeholders and Coppieholders of Colne and Greate
Marsden as by the Decree of the Honorable Courte of the Duchie of
Lancaster bearing date the 20 of June 161 8 more plainly appears and
thereupon Comissioners were appointed by the said Courte for deviding
allotting and setting forth to everie Freeholder and Coppieholder within
the Mannor their proportionable parts according to their severall rents
and inlands, and when the cottages came to bee allotted and devided
to the freehoulders and coppieholders by the said Commissioners the
cottagers did withstand the same and did repaire to the honorable
courte of the Duchie for release therein and did obtaine a Reference
for Compounding of the diferences betwixt them and the copieholders
of Colne for the cottages taken up and incroached from the Commons
of the Mannor of Colne unto Roger Kenyan gentleman who did com
pound and agree the same and thereuppon it was ordered and agreed
that some of the said cottagers should bee Coppieholders of Inheritance
to his Majestie and shall pay such rents to the king and such other
to the use and benefite of the Schoole in Colne as is therein expressed
and uppon everie admittance to pay there Fines to the king and schoole
as in case of other coppieholders bv one yeares rent to the king and
one yeares rent to the schoole. And some other cottagers were to have
leases some for Uves and some for yeares and the inheritance of the
coppieholders estate therein to bee put into the hands of two coppie-

444 CLITHEROE COURT ROLLS
holders elected by the rest who are to bee but feoffies in trust to the use
of the schoole. In which surrender it is to bee provided that the said
feoffies are not to displace and put out the said cottagers at the end of
their termes but to make them new leases uppon reasonable rents and
fines as the honorable Courte of the Duchie shall, from time to time
set downe if they cannot agree amongst themselves as by a Record of
our Courte to us delivered by the Stuard thereof and hereunder written
doth plainely appeare.
To our Loveing Frend Mr. John Nutter deUver these.
Whereas wee referred the Compounding of the differences betwixt
the Coppieholders of Colne and the Cottagers taken up and in-
croached from the Commons of the Mannor of Colne unto Roger
Kenyan, gentleman, who hath certified us of the manner and
convenience of that agreement which hee hath made with and
amongst them, which agreement wee have caused to bee entred
and ratified amongst the Orders of the Duchie and Records
thereof, and for that wee presume the said Roger Kenyan can
deUver you a copie thereof which wee will him hereby to deUver
and that the same may bee entred by you amongst the records
or Courte RoUs of the said mannor, Wee will and require you
that after such entrie thereof by you made you admit and pro
cure admittance to bee made to everie the said Cottagers according
to the purporte thereof and also that estates bee made by the
Coppieholders accordingly and these our Letters shalbee to you
sufficient warrant, And that you admitt the instant (whereof the
said certificate of the said Mr. Kenyan maketh mencion and
referreth to our further direction) according to his opinion in and
