Langar and Barneston. AND St. Aubreys, or St. Aethelburga's.

THese Towns went together before the Nor∣mans came, as they have done ever since, and do still. In King William's time they were the Fee, and a great part of the Demesne, of William Peverell. But before that time Godric had a Mannor in each Town,* 1.1 and for that in Langare was rated to the publick payment of the Geld, at two Car. four Cov. ½. The Land being sufficient for six Plows, or so many Caru∣cats. There William Peverell had in Demesne three Bar. fiteen Sochm. upon six Bov. of this Land, nineteen Vill. six Bord. having eleven Car. two Mills 5s. and five Acres of Medow. There [1. Francus homo] one French man, or Free-man, had one Car. In King Edward the Confessours time the value of his was 100s▪ but in King Williams was improved to 10l▪ having Soc in Wivreton. In Barnestune Godric and Azor had each man his Hall, and each paid the Geld, then in use, for four Bov. s. The Land was four Car.* 1.2 There William Pevrell bad in Demesne three Car. seven Sochm▪ on four Bov. of this Land, seven Vill. six Bordars, having four Car. ½. There was thirty six Acres of Me∣dow. In King Edward the Confessours time this was but 10s. in the time when the Conquerours Survey was taken, it was 4l. valu.

In each Town there was a considerable share Soc to Granby of the Fee of Walter de Ayncurt, viz. in Langare as much as was rated to the Geld at four Bov. and an half. The Land was two Car. There eight Sochm. one Bordar, had two Car. and six plowing Oxen. There was half a Church, and thirteen Acres of Medow. In Bernestune, that which was Soc to Granby, paid the Dane-geld for half a Car. The Land was two Car. There five Sochm. one Bord. had two Car. two draught Oxen, and eleven Acres of Medow.

William Pevrell, at his first endowment of Lenton Priory,* 1.3 which he founded in the time of King Henry the first, gave two parts of all his Tythes, which that house enjoyed here according∣ly and the Church of Langar, with all its Lands and Tythes, and one Villan, holding a Virgat of (or Yard) Land. William Peverel his son, who succeeded in this inheritance, was, it seems, rather for King Stephen than King Hen∣ry the second, who when he wrote himself but Duke of Normandy and Angeou, gave to Ra∣nulph Earl of Chester,* 1.4 amongst many other vast possessions, the whole Fee of William Peve∣rel, unless he could acquit and clear himself in the said Duke his Court of his wickedness and Treason. But I do not find that the Earl of Che∣ster enjoyed any thing here of that gift, for the

Sheriffs accounted in the Pipe Rolls for the Farm of Peverells Land,* 1.5 being in the Kings hands se∣veral years, in the beginning of the Reign of King Henry the second, until about the nine∣teenth, that Robert Fitz-Randalf Lord of Au∣ferton made his account, wherein he mentions Langar and Clifton to be before that time ('tis said, 9 H. 2.) given to one Gerbod de Escalt, as Hornecastle in Lincolneshire also was.* 1.6

Gerard de Rodes was the next owner of these Lands, that I have seen, who had them of the gift of King Iohn:* 1.7 but, I think, he only con∣firmed them; for in the Pipe Roll, of the first year of his Reign,* 1.8 they are mentioned as if King Richard the first had so disposed them before.

Raph de Rodes succeeded this Gerard, to whom the Prior and Covent of Lenton, having remit∣ted the custom of Tything his Corn here at Langar, after it was brought into the Barn, and out of their liberality,* 1.9 agreed to take it in the field; This said Raph did, in the third year of the Reign of King Henry the third, make his ac∣knowledgement thereof, and ingage himself, That if they should have any loss by so doing, they should enjoy their old Custom again of Tything at the Barn; and this he did in a full Chapter be∣fore W. de Roderham, Arch-deacon of Nott. to whose Jurisdiction and constraint, if he should fail, he submitted himself, without Appeal, by a sealed instrument, as the custom then ordinarily was in such like cases. The Prior and Covent likewise granted him and his Lady Berta, to have a Chappel within their Court at Langar, pro∣vided the Chaplain should be presented to the P••••son of Langar, and swear not to hinder the Mother Church, and to be liable to be suspended by the Parson, if he did; and that the Lord and Lady should come and hear Divine Service at the Church on all the Festivals, except there was manifest cause of hinderance, but to have no Bell in the said Chappel.

There was an ancient Church or Chappel in the ields of Langar, called St. Athelburga's, or St. Aubrey's, which was upon Deyncurts Fee, and was given to Thurgarton Priory,* 1.10 as Grane∣by Church was, to which Parish it properly be∣longed; for this Raph de Rodes gave the Priory of Thurgarton 2s. a year to be taken of Richard, son of Thurkel of Barneston, or of whomso∣ever should hold these two Bovats or Oxgangs) he then had, to be free from paying small Tythes to the Church of Granby, for a certain Grange, which stood near Giselkirk (the old English name of St. Aubreys) part whereof stood in the Parish of Grandby.

There was matter of question between Sir Wil∣liam de Rodes, Rector of Langar, and the Pri∣or and Covent of Thurgarton, concerning cer∣tain obventions of the Church of St. Athelburga, without the Town of Langar, but the parties appearing in the Church of Wiverton, the Tues∣day after Palm Sunday, in the year 1257. they agreed partly to divide the subject of the question between them.

There was an agreement made also in the Court of Sir Raph de Rodes at Langar,* 1.11 before the whole Soc, the Knights and Free-men of the said Raph being present and Witnesses, between the Prior of Thurgarton, and the Parishioners of that Fee in Langar and Barneston, that they should all bring home the said Priors Tythes, and keep them safe till they could be carried to their proper place, for which the said Prior gave them 3s. of Silver yearly at Lammas.

Sir Gerard de Rodes was son and Successor of Raph, and had one son called by his own name Gerard de Rodes Lord of Melles, and another named Iohn, who, 13 E. 1. passed away to Sir Robert de Thibetot, and Eve his wife, and Paga∣nus their son, the Mannor of Langar and Berne∣ston, and also the homages of Gervas de Wile∣ford, for the Mannors of Clifton and Wilford, and of Henry de Perpunt and his heirs of the Mannor of Barton, and of Robert Luterell of the Mannors of Brigford and Gameleston, and of Edmund de Deyncurt and his heirs, which Ge∣rard, son of Gerard de Rodes his brother, granted to him the said Iohn de Rodes, on whose Seal,* 1.12 circumscribed with his name, is a Lion Rampant debruised with a Bendlet.

There are divers Seals of the largest size, of some of this Family, in the Chartulary at Clif∣ton, with their Images on Horse-back on one side, and on the other SECRETUM, with a Lion Rampant upon a Shield, and one within a Bordure.

Eva, the wife of Robert de Tibetot, was daugh∣ter of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 de Cadurcis.* 1.13

Robert de Tibbetot had Free Warren granted, 18 E. 1. in Langar, and Barneston, and Bent∣ley in Yorkshire.

This Robert de Tibetot had a son named Robert, who,* 1.14 23 E. 1. was to marry the daughter of Raph de Tony, but his son and heir was Paganus, before mentioned,* 1.15 who about 26 E. 1. married Agnes, the daughter of William de Ros. He con∣firmed to the Priory of Thurgarton all their Lands and Tenements,* 1.16 Rents and Possessions with∣in his Demesne in Langar, Barneston, and Wiverton, and particularly, all their concerns in the Chappel or Church of St. Ethelburga the Virgin, scituate and founded within his Demesne of Langar, called in English Giselkike. In the year of our Lord 1314,* 1.17 he was slain at Stri∣velin, amongst many other English Nobles, in the Battle against Robert de Brus, where the Scots were Conquerours. The next year after, or sooner, the King, 8 E. 2. pardoned Thomas de Veer for marrying Agnes,* 1.18 the wife of this Pagan Tibetot, without licence, on condition, that he found twenty men at Arms at Karliol, from Lammas then next following, to the Feast of All Saints, to defend those parts against the Scots.

King Edward the second, Nov. 21. that same year,* 1.19 viz. 8 E. 2. for a thousand Marks granted to Barth. de Badlesmere the custody of certain of the Lands of this Paganus de Tibtot, by rea∣son his son and heir Iohn was under age. This Barthol. married this Iohn to his daughter Mar∣garet (or Elizabeth,* 1.20 as some Copyes) which af∣terwards proved to be one of the four sisters and co-heirs of his son Sir Giles Badlesmere, where∣of another was married to William Lord Ros; another to Iohn Vere Earl of Oxford; and ano∣ther to William Boun Earl of Northampton. By her this Iohn de Tiptot had a son called Iohn, who died without issue under age,* 1.21 33 E. 3. but he had another called Robert, on whom this Mannor

    was settled, 22 E. 3. who married Margaret, the daughter of William de Ayncourt,* 1.22 and did his homage 41 E. 3. His wife was, after his death, married to Iohn Cheyne.* 1.23

    King Edward the third, Aug. 7. in the forty sixth year of his Reign, committed to Richard le Scrop the custody of all the Lands,* 1.24 which were this Robert Tibetots, then dead, until the full age of Margaret, Millecent, and Elizabeth, his daughters and heirs, together with their Marri∣ages.

    Margaret was married to Roger le Scrop of Bolton, son of Richard, whose posterity there∣by enjoyed this fair Lordship,* 1.25 Millecent to Stephen Scrop, son of Richard also, and afterwards to Hugh (or Iohn) a 1.26 Fastolf; Elizabeth to Phi∣lip le Dispenser, who by her had a daughter named Margery, married to Roger Wentworth.

    The Lands were many and great Lordships, Barowe in Sussex, Oxendale in Gloucester∣shire, Secryngdon in Bedfordshire, Siberton in Kent, Overton in Rutland, Bentley in Yorkshire, Hameldon in ..... &c.

    Roger le Scrope Chr. when he died held this Mannor joyntly with Margaret his wife,* 1.27 and 8 H. 4. left Richard le Scrope his son and heir, or sooner. On the Seals of Roger and Stephen le Scrope, and Philip le Dispenser circumscribed with their names, 9 R. 2. are yet visible, on Rogers a Bend, and likewise on the said Stephens,* 1.28 with a large Mullett added to the top of the Bend; on Philips is; Barry of six a Canton Ermine, with a file of three Labels, two in the said Canton, or rather quarter (for 'tis a large

    Page 105

    one) and the other towards the Sinister part of the Escutcheon.

    This Mannor descended, as the Genealogy shows transcribed out of the Sicling of the great Gallery at Langar, from Richard Lord Scrope to Emanuel, the last Lord Scrope, created Earl of Sunderland, who married Elizabeth, daugh∣ter of Iohn Earl of Rutland, but having no is∣sue by her, he settled it, and the rest of his Estate, upon his natural issue, which he had by Martha Ianes, yet living, of which his only son Iohn died unmarried the last of Iuly, 1646. aged about twenty years; but his three daugh∣ters, which by that means divide the whole in∣heritance amongst them, are yet living, Oct. 2. 1672.

    Mary, the eldest, was first married to Henry Cary Lord Lepington, eldest son and heir of the Earl of Monmouth, but he leaving her a widow, without children, she is since become the wife of Charles Lord St. Iohn of Basing, eldest son and heir of Iohn Marquess of Winchester, and by him hath issue.

    Elizabeth the second daughter, is wife of Tho∣mas Earl Rivers; and Annabella the third, of Iohn Howe, second son of Sir Iohn Howe of Compton in Gloucestershire, Baronet, by whom she hath many children. Her eldest son Sir Scrope Howe, Knight▪ hath lately married the Lady Anne, daughter of Iohn Earl of Rutland, and is heir apparent of this Mannor, which in the di∣vision, fell to the share of his Mother; to whom our present Soveraign King Charles the second, by his Letters registred in the Office of Arms, bearing date the first day of Iune, 1663. in the fifteenth year of his Reign, in consideration of the good and acceptable service done and per∣formed by Iohn Howe of Langar,* 1.29 Esquire, her husband; and for a mark of his especial Grace and Royal favour, granted and ordained that she, the said Annabella, should be had, taken and esteemed as the daughter of an Earl of this King∣dom of England, and that for and during her natural life, she have, hold, use, take, and en∣joy the Stile, place, degree, precedency, and priviledges thereof in as full and ample manner, as if she had been the Legitimate daughter of Emannuel late Earl of Sunderland, with a pre∣cept of obedience to all and every of His Maje∣sties Subjects, since when she is usually stiled, the Right Honourable the Lady Annabella Howe.

    Oliver de Eyncourt released to Raph de Rodes, thirty one Bovats of Land,* 1.30 and fifteen Tofts in Langar and Barneston, which he had brought a Writ of right for, in King Henry the thirds time, for which the said Raph gave him 50s. of Land in Barneston, which, together with his other Lands there, and some other in Braunce∣ton in Lincolneshire, the said Oliver gave to the Priory of Thurgarton, to find two Chaplains to celebrate for him, his Ancestors and Successors for ever.

    Richard de Wiverton, Knight, gave also three Bovats in Barneston and Wiverton,* 1.31 and two Acres of Medow in Berneston with his body, to the said Priory of Thurgarton, to find a Se∣cular daily to celebrate Divine Service at the Altar of our Lady there for his Soul and his Wifes.

    Thomas Artebrig, 10 E. 3. had licence to give 63s. 6d. Rent out of Langar and Wiverton,* 1.32 to make a Chantry in the Church of St. Andrew in Langar.

    Queen Elizabeth, 7 of Iune, in the thirteenth year of her Reign,* 1.33 granted to Henry Lord Scrope of Bolton, the Lands late belonging to Thur∣garton in the Fields of Langar and Barneston. And to Iohn Dudley, and Iohn Aiscough, 29 Ianuary,* 1.34 17 Eliz. the Tythes in the Parish of Langar, in the tenure of Sir Iohn Chaworth, Knight, at 12l. per annum, late belonging to the Priory of Lenton.

    These Tythes, I suppose, Mr. Howe pur∣chased of the Lord Dunbar, as he hath since done a Mess. and some Lands of Moses Foxcroft, son of Iohn, Rector of Goteham, which were Henry Flowers of Langar, and by Henry Wal∣ker, a Captain for the King in the unhappy wars, and Anne his wife, sister and heir of Tho∣mas Flower, heir of the said Henry, sold to the said Mr. Iohn Foxcroft, so that now the whole Lordships of Langar and Barneston (except the said Mrs. Walkers house, and some little Me∣dow, which was her Ancestors, the Flowers) is become the possession of Mr. Howe, who hath made a convenient Park of the Closes which he found nigh the house, which is well stored with Deer, much better than the Towns are with people, where so considerable parts of the Fields are inclosed, the too common fate of good Land in this County.

    A Quare impedit, 6 H. 6. was recovered by Guy Fayrfax, and William Akworth Plaintiffs,* 1.35 against Iohn Elingham Prior of Lenton, and Thomas Smith, Clark of the Advowson of the Church of Langar.

    The Rectory of Langar (which hath but the third part of the Tythes) was 10l. and the Lord Scrope Patron.* 1.36 'Tis now 10l. 7s. 11d. value in the Kings Books, and Mr. Howe Patron.
