Salford-Priors.

HAving thus taken notice of all on this side Arrow, I must passe over that River to Sal∣ford, which is the last and only Parish whereof I am now to speak, in this Hundred. This contai∣neth the Hamlets of Abbots-Salford. Wood-Be∣vinton, Cock-Bevinton, and Dunnington; and had its name originally from a Salt spring that hath been there, as the Inhabitants doe observe from the accesse of Pidgeons to the place where it was, which is now choakt up.

Upon the Foundation of the Abby at Evesham in the year of Christ DCCxiiii. this place, by the name of Saltford major, was given r 1.1 to that Mo∣nastery by S. Ecgwyn Bishop of Worcester: but it continued not long to the Monks; for it s 1.2 appears that in K. E. the Confessor's days, ••odeva wife to Earl Leofrike (of whom in Coventre I have spoke) possest it; and that after the Norman Conquest Le∣veve, a Nun, had it of the King's gift, in whose hands it was at the time of the generall Survey; and certified to contain three hides, there being then a Church, with a Mill rated at v s. and Woods containing two furlong in length, and half a furlong in breadth; in which Record it is written Salford, and valued at vi li. But up∣on

the advancement of Henry de Neuburgh to the Earldome of Warwick, this Lordship was (inter alia) given to him, as it seems; for it appears that t 1.3 Earl Roger, his son and successor, possest it; and thereof enfeoft Geffrey de Clinton, to hold by the service of a Kts. Fee: Howbeit, Livitha the Nun, being thus outed, commenced her suit in K. Henrie's Court, and recovered u 1.4 it; whereupon the said Geffrey came to some agreement with her, and by her consent, with the good liking of the said Earl, gave w 1.5 it to the Canons of Kenilworth, upon his foundation of that Monastery: in Con∣firmation x 1.6 whereof, the same Earl, whose con∣sent therein he had, acquitted to them the said Kts. service, and ratified the grant in the King's presence. And to the intent that no farther Challenge should be made by those that might pretend thereto, Margaret the Countesse (mother to Earl Roger) by the full consent of the said Earl and the rest of her sons, viz. Rotroe Bishop of Eureux, Rob. de Newburgh, Geffrey, and Henry, for the health of Henry her late husband's soul, as also of her own, and her sons, added her Charter y 1.7 of confirmation, in regard of the interest she had in the moytie of it: In consideration whereof, Bernard the first Prior there, gave her xx marks of silver.

Which Canons of Kenilworth, being so possest of this Lordship, had divers liberties and priviled∣ges therein; viz. Court Leet, Assize of bread and beer, Gallows, and Weyfs, for all which they pleaded z 1.8 Prescription in 13 E. 1. and had allow∣ance of them; having therein, as it appears by the Record a 1.9 of 19 E. 1. four Carucates of Land, rated at xx s. the Carucate; xvi li. in Rent of Assise, together with the Ferm of the Mill, & in Pleas and Perquisites two marks: in the demesn lands where∣of they obtained a Charter b 1.10 of Free warren in 11 R. 2. After the dissolution of which Monastery, it continued in the Crown, till that K. Iames (inter alia) past it to certain persons in trust for pay∣ment of his debts; who accordingly sold it unto Sir Simon Clarke Baronet, now owner thereof An. scil. 1640.

The Church being confirm'd c 1.11 to the Canons of Kenilworth by Simon Bishop of Worcester in H. 1. time, with Eccleshale and Withlakesford (then Chapells belonging thereto) and said to be of the same King Henry's grant; was also ratified d 1.12 by Tho••••s Arch Bishop of Canterbury in H. 2. time; by whose Instrument e 1.13 there is mention of a Cha∣pell also at Little Salford (id est Abbots Salford) belonging thereto, and of a piece of glebe called Littleham (being a meadow) with Tithe of Salt; which shews that there hath been antiently a Salt Spring, there, that yeilded good benefit. In An. 1291 (19 E. 1.) it was valued f 1.14 at xvi. marks, the Vicar then having a portion of x. marks, and the Abbot of Evesham xxx s. But in 26 H. 8. the Vicaridge was rated at g 1.15 x l. out of which the Pro∣curations and Synodals then issuing, were xs. vd. ob.
