1339 26 June Berkhampstead (membrane 7)

Exemplification, at the request of the prioress of Stratford, of the tenor

of the process before Henry Gernet and his fellows, commissioners de

walliis et fossatis along the coast of the water of Thames and parts

adjoining co. Essex, to this effect; Pleas before the said commissioners

at Westhamme on Wednesday the feast of St. Edmund the King,

10 Edward III. Essex to wit. By letters patent of 22 January

8 Edward III the king commanded Henry Gernet, Robert de Hagham,

Robert son of William de Rokeswell, Benedict de Ditton and Alexander

de Betoigne to survey and repair the walls, dykes &c. along the Thames, co.

Essex, and in the parts of the town of Wolwich,co.Kent, north of the Thames.

By virtue of such mandate the sheriff of Essex summoned twelve jurors

of the vicinage of Westhamme to enquire of defects in the marsh of

Westhamme, to wit John de Dakenham, Thomas le Brewere. John

Samekyn, John le Porter, Henry de Wyndefeld, John Galien the elder,

John Daunger, John de Pellarn, Gilbert le Dore, William Oygor, Henry de

Gaisham, John Bone, Richard le Blake, Simon le Wynd, John le Clerk,

of Leyton, and Geoffrey de Nottele. And upon this came the prioress of

Stratford and produced a writ of the king to the commissioners, dated

17 March 10 Edward III reciting their appointment to survey the walls

&c. as above, that on behalf of the prioress of Stratford it had been shewn

to him that, whereas one John de Couelee lately held in the marsh of

Westhamme 50 acres of land and a pasture called 'le Hope' assessed in

time past to repair the wall there, then called ' Coueleeswal' and now

'le priouressewal,' although the pasture has since been entirely submerged

by the Thames and the said land has been alienated by John to divers

tenants and the prioress only receives from some of her tenants a rent of

14 s. beyond the service due to the chief lord, out of which she is ready

to contribute proportionately to the repair of the wall, they leaving out the

said tenants and many others benefited by the wall assess her only for

its repair, to the great charge and impoverishment of her house, and

commanding them to compel all persons having lands or common of

pasture or fishery there to repair the wall, pursuant to their commission,

and not to distrain the prioress for more than her proportion. And upon

this the prioress complains that William le Masun, bailiff of the marsh of

Westhamme has grievously distrained her for 100 s. for repair of the wall

called 'Priouressewal' because, she says that she has not any land or soil in

the marsh for which she ought to repair any wall there. And hereon she

prays judgement &c. She says however that one John de Couelee in the

time of Henry III, held in it as of the fee of Muntfichet, now of Sir John de

Haudlo, 50 acres of land and the said wall, then called ' Coueleswal' but

now 'le Priouressewal' with a piece of pasture called 'le Hope' lying by

the wall without the close of the marsh, to wit between the wall and the

Thames, which land with the wall and the Hope were in times past always

and entirely assessed to repair the wall when necessary, and the said John

de Couele alienated the wall and Hope from his seisin to Robert le Ku in

fee, to repair the wall for ever, for the Hope was then sufficient for

pasture for six cows as is said. And afterwards John de Couele long before

the statute Quia emptores was passed alienated all the said land by

parcels to divers tenants in fee, to hold of him and his heirs by a certain rent

and suit of court, and afterwards he entirely alienated from him and his

heirs his lordship of the said lands with their whole rent and services to

one Simon de Passelewe, who alienated the same to Cicely de Lancastre, who

granted the whole lordship in frank almoin to the church of St. Leonard,

Stratford, and the nuns there. And so the prioress now holds the lordship

with the rent and services aforesaid. And she says that the said Robert

le Ku while he held the wall and the Hope always repaired the wall and

after his death the wall and the Hope came to Joan, his daughter and heir,

whom William de Rokesle married, and in her time the entire Hope was

submerged by an inundation of the Thames, and then William reflecting

that the burden of repairing the wall would far exceed the profit of the

rest of the holding wholly gave up the holding and would meddle no more

with the said wall, and so it lies unrepaired. She says also that she has

only received from her tenants of her lands in the said marsh of the fee

of Couele a rent of 14 s. beyond the services due to John de Haudlo, now

the chief lord of that fee, and she is ready to contribute towards the repair

according to the quantity of the said rent and prays justice herein.

And upon this come the abbot of Stratford by his bailiff, and John de

Brumpton and Thomas le Bret in their own persons and as tenants of lands

in the marsh protected by the wall and say that the prioress unjustly

prosecutes the said writ since she strives thereby to excuse herself from

the repair of the wall and charge it on the abbot and others. For they say

she and her predecessors from the time the lordship of the fee of Couele

came into their hands have used to repair the wall, and when they refused

have been compelled to do so by distraint.

And the prioress says as above and further that it is because she has many

times been so unduly distrained herein that she now makes her plaint and

seeks a remedy according to the tenour of the said writ. And the justices

wishing to be certified touching the premises caused an inquisition to be taken

by the said John de Dakenham and other jurors, who say that from time

whereof there is not memory there have been certain lordships in the town of

Westhamme, to wit the lordship of Haudlo, the lordship of Lancastre, the

lordship of Plaicz and the lordship of the prioress of Stratford, and that

anciently the lords of these agreed together that each of them should have

a certain parcel of the wall of the Thames pertaining to their lordships, that

to the lordship of the prioress was delivered a parcel of the wall now called

'Prioressewal' which she is bound to repair at her own expense, in like

manner as the other lords are bound to make and repair their parcels of

the walls, and that the defects therein can be made good for 100 s. &c.

And the prioress on hearing the verdict of the jury says that they have

not answered the matters touching which they were charged, wherefore she

prays instantly that they shall answer further.

And the jury say that their answer is sufficient.

Wherefore day is given to the parties and the jury before the justices here

on Wednesday after the Purification &c. and the sheriff is commanded &c.

Afterwards, process herein being postponed until Wednesday after the feast

of the Conception of the Virgin Mary, 11 Edward III came the prioress by

her attorney, the abbot by his bailiff, and the said John and Thomas in

person &c, And because it seems to the justices that the verdict is insufficient

for judgement to be rendered pursuant to their commission and the

king's writ aforesaid, it is adjudged that a new inquisition be taken.

Whereupon the said jurors, with Nicholas le Forester, Richard le Saltere,

William Peet, John de Byntre, William Malemeins, Miles le Saltere, John

Champion and Richard Sperlinge associated with them, say on oath that

John de Couele in the time of Henry III held in the marsh of Westhamme

43 1/2 acres of land with the wall now called 'le Prioressewall' then called

'Coueleswal,' and the Hope adjoining, which land and Hope were then charged

with the making and repair of the wall, that he alienated the land to divers

tenants (as above), that he afterwards demised the wall and Hope to one

Robert le Ku to hold with the said John and his heirs by the service of

making and maintaining the wall because the Hope was then sufficient for

pasture for ten cows yearly in the summer, and afterwards he wholly

alienated all the services due to him together with his whole fee and

lordship to one Simon de Passelewe, and by divers alienations these passed

into the hands of the prioress. They say also that Robert le Ku all the

time he held the wall and Hope bore the charge of the wall, that after his

decease the wall and Hope came into the hands of William de Rokeslee and

Joan his wife, daughter and heir of the said Robert, in whose time the

Hope was swallowed up by an inundation of the Thames, and they wholly

surrendered the wall with the little that remained of the Hope to the

prioress, then lady of the fee. They say that none of the Hope now

remains, that of the lands sometime of John de Couele, John de Brumpton

holds 13 acres, Walter le Rook holds 2 acres, John Fotinge holds 3 acres,

Walter Fausour holds 1/2 acre, Emma Bokeleres holds 1/2 acre, Roger Godhewe

hold 1 acre, Sir John de Sutton, knight, holds 3 acres, John le Masun holds

4 acres, Christina atte Helle holds 1 acre, John Rolf holds 1/2 acre,

John Sagor holds 1/2 acre, and Richard Hamond holds 3 acres of

land, as free tenants, and Robert le Fausour and Walter le Fausour hold

4 1/2 acres, the said John Foting holds 1 acre, Andrew Edwyne and his

parceners hold 1 acre, and Walter Godwyne and his parceners hold 4 acres,

as customary tenants; that the prioress holds no land in the marsh except

that she receives 14 s. of rent from her tenants there beyond the services due

to John de Haudlo, chief lord of the fee, and that the wall can be repaired

for 100s.

And upon this day is given to the parties to hear judgement at Barking on

Saturday after the feast of St. Hilary. At which day came the prioress by

her attorney, the abbot by his bailiff and John de Brumpton and Thomas le

Bret in person. And the prioress prays record and judgement on the

verdict. And the justices give judgement in accordance with the finding of

the jury that all the said holdings sometime of John de Couele in the marsh,

into whosesoever hands they are come remain charged to make, repair and

maintain the wall for ever, that the tenants of these and others who in any

way derive profit from them shall contribute to its repair whenever necessary

proportionately and that the prioress shall not be distrained or compelled to

contribute thereto beyond her due portion.
