Vol 1 p 29. 1465 refers to Richard de Cawston vicar of Paston. 1380 Roger de Cawston, merchant of Norwich where his trade mark is still preserved. NRO. 1335 Robert de Cawston high sheriff of Norfolk. 1349 Robert de Cawston commander of mercenaries in war with France - Froissants Chronicles. Michael de Cawston died 1395. Master of Michaelhouse Cambridge was a Norfolk man. Carter, History of Cambridge I page 403 - a native of Cawston (village) about 12 miles NW of Norwich. He became a fellow of Pembroke College. Le Keux Memorials of Cambridge page 56 E C Hooper - Doctor of divinty and Master of Michaelhouse. His appointment as Master was apparently made subsequently to 1359 when William of Gotham is mentioned as holding that office (Carter page 303). In 1361 or 1362 Le Neve gives the date (Fasti I 598 E Hardy) Cawston was chancellor of this university. He is famous as one of its benefactors and it was enacted by the ancient statutes that each year for ever in the three general processions a special recommendation should be made of his soul. (June stat 172 Jas Heywoods College Statutes for Cambridge p 175) Cawston's manifucence is said to have extended to all colleges that subsisted in his time in the university, his gifts to their libraries being specially commemorated. A note in one of the volumes presented by him to Peterhouse described him as holding the preferment of Dean of Chichester (Carter page 38). His nam does not occur in Le Neves list (ubi supra i page 256) but there is a gap of a number of years between the elevation of Wenn Richard le Serope to the bishopric of Chichester in 1393 and the next name in the series, that of John de Maydenhith who emerges in 1400. It is natural then to place Cawston in this interval. He died in 1395 according to Peacock - Observations on the Statutes of Cambridge (appendix page XVI note and Cooper's Annals of Cambridge page 142) for the date 1396 (given in Cooper's Edition of Le Keux) is apparently a mistake. Walter de Cawston at Caston's Manor in Cawston. Walter lived and had an estate there about the time of Richard I and his heirs had divers lands granted them from the Manor by John de Burgh 1246 Robert de Cawston was one of those wise men whom Edward III thought fit to appoint to meet at Westminster to be of council to his son Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester whom he had appointed Custos of England during his absence in the French War with the Prince of Wales and many noble lords in his company. In 1302 he and John de Weasenham were commissioned to lay an embargo on all ships from the mouth of the Thames eastward and to supply them with men and arms to resist the French, then making an invasion. |

| Some Monks of Rochester | Rochester | KEN | Some Monks of Rochester The Bishop of Rochester appears to have had the privilege of ordaining the majority of the clergy both regular and secular, in the various orders of the preisthood throughout Kent and in parts of London and Southern England, and also of professing nuns. Ordinations usually took place on the bishop's manors of Bromley, Hailing or Trottiscliffe, or at Rochester or London and the ordinands were presented by their own prior or some person deputed by him in the case of the monks, and by other clergy in the case of the secular clergy. Monks and nuns were usually professed in their own particular religious house: the monks by their prior on receipt of letters dimissory from the bishop (72); and the nuns by the bishop in the presence of their abbess (73). Ordinands to the orders of acolyte, sub-deacon, deacon and priest came from all the religious orders, including the orders of friars, and seem to have been present in person. This would have necessitated travelling long distances as men came from Norfolk, Suffolk, Sussex and London as well as from all parts of Kent.[(72) Rochester Episcopal Register IV, f.108 [CKS/KCC/UK] (73) Ibid, ff. 55v., 108 [CKS/KCC/UK] ]This list of some of the monks of Rochester has been compliled to give some idea of the wide area from which the monks came and some idea of their careers while in the house. The information is taken almost entirely from the Rochester Episcopal Registers 1319-1540, and though it does not give much indication of the number of monks in the house at any one time one can get a rough idea of the numbers of monks entering the house at particular times. Ordinations took place at regular intervals throughout the year but inevitably there are gaps and the list is obviously incomplete. The records of the elections of John de Sheppey as prior in 1333 and Lawrence Mereworth as prior in 1532 are the only ones which give any indication as to numbers of monks in the house (74). John Causton professed (ibid., f.157); subdeacon 24 September 1440 ( ibid., f.156); deacon 22 September 1443 (ibid., f. 190); priest 19 September 1444 ( ibid., f.200); appointed precentor 11 October 1465 (ibid., f.245v); appointed chamberlain 10 October 1466 ( ibid., f.247v) | |||

Knightlow Hundred. Causton. Northwest of Dunchurch lieth Causton; which in the Conq. days one Ulf held of Turchill de Warwic, being then certified (Domesday book) to contain 1 hide valued at xii s. but before th norman conquest Edvinus possest it. After this, till King stephen I do find no further mention thereof; but then doth it appear (Reg. de Pipwel f 40 a), that Ingelramus Clement (spoke of in Dunchurch) was owner of it; himself or his father having been enfeoffed theroff (doubtless) by Siward de Arden, son to the said Turchill: for by his grant (Reg. de Pipwel f 75 b) of it to the monks of Pipwell, he mentions Henry de Arden, son to the said Siward, to be his immediate Lord, of whom he held it. Which Henry with Olivia his wife, of whose dowry it was, confirmed (Reg. de Pipwel f 82 b) the donation; in consideration wherof, the Monks gave unto her a Palfrey and a Cow: and being possest of so large a proportion in this village, soon after obtained (Reg. de Pipwel f 75 b) from one Turchill de Causton whom Ingelram Clement had formerly enfoefed, all his interest therin; William Clement son to the same Ingelram, confirming (Reg. de Pipwel f76 a) the grant in the presence of Richard de Luci, and other the Justices Itinerant at northampton, the same year that King Henry II came into England after his sons coronation, and summons concerning his expedition into Iceland; viz 17 Henry II. Of which Turchil de Causton and Wimare his wife, I find (Reg. de Pipwel f 80 b), that they gave the lands, before emntioned, to the said Monastery, cum corporibus fuis:wherupon the monks were to find them all necessayes during their lives, and afford them buriall in their church yard at Pipwell, when they should dye; with performance of the like solemnity as for a monk of the convent. | vol I page 286 | |

consecratus, anno falutis 1228. vir in literatura profundus, moribus honestus,
ac per omnia laudabilis, christianae religionis amator acdefensor strenuus; qui

ciscernere poffit, quam confestim sequutaest tonitrui horribilis concussio, cum

rapide fugientes nihil verius quam mortem expectarent. Solus episcopus cum uno
diacono remansit intrepidus. Aere tandem purgato episcopus residuum rei divinae
explevit. You may read more of him in Matthew Paris, how stoutly he withstood the pope's nuncio, coming here into England with a prowling device to scrape up money for his master. How this good bishop cried out upon the unreasonable and I shameless covetousness of the court of Rome, and how he was the only means of staying the course of such grievous exactions. There you may also read the fearful story of this cymmerian darkness and horrible thunder-clap, which happened upon the day of St. paul's conversion, in this cathedral church, the Bishop being then at mass. Many miracles, saith the same author, were wrought at his Tomb. But let us hear his Epitaph :Ecclcesie quondam presul presentis, in anno M. bis C. quater X. jacet hic Rogerus humatus. Hujus erat manibus domino locus iste dicatus :christe suis precibus veniarn des, tolle reatus. It was this bishop Roger who excommunicated the C a u r s i n i (a dangerous stout attempt in those days) called the Pope's Merchants, but they were indeed most execrable Roman usurers, who had entangled the king himself, most of the nobility, and all others who had to do with the court of Rome in their cunning snares. They were called Caursini (saith Paris) quasi capientes ursi devouring bears. [Causrini thought to have changed their name to Causton] |

(1906)HOUSE OF CISTERCIAN MONKS 8. THE ABBEY OF PIPEWELL The most valuable part
of the abbey's possessions, next to the woods and meadows by which the
monastery was surrounded, lay in Warwickshire, in the parish and district of
Dunchurch, just over the county borders. Here the monks had several granges,
the most important being at Causton, to the north-west of Dunchurch. The gifts
of a certain William de Causton, who afterwards became a monk of Pipewell,
formed the nucleus of their Warwickshire estates, which were afterwards
considerably extended in the reign of Stephen by Ingelram Clement, who held of
Sir Henry de Arderne, who also confirmed the various grants. Turchil de Causton
and Winmare his wife were also large benefactors in the same district;
eventually they released all their property to the convent on condition that
the abbot and monks should provide them with necessaries during their life and
bury them at Pipewell when they died, with the like ceremonies as if they had
been monks. In 1266 the chief men of Thurlaston united to claim common rights
on Causton Common, but Abbot Gerard de Lega stood firm against them, and
obtained a verdict in his favour at the Warwick assizes. There were then at
Causton Grange two large ovens, where they baked weekly sixteen quarters of
corn for common bread, and six of better quality for the monks and lay brethren
and their servants in their granges of Dunchurch, Thurlaston, Rokeby,
'Lalleford,' Newbold, and 'Thirnmilne,' in Warwickshire, and for their granges
of Ashby, Winwick, and Elkington, in Northamptonshire. The bread cart from
Causton would have to make a considerable round. In 1287 the Warwickshire
priory of Kirby laid claim to Causton Grange, and at first gained the day
through the fraudulent dealing of the priory's attorney, according to the
chronicle of Pipewell. There was grief and sadness at the abbey when the
community found themselves bereft of the flower of their possessions. But Roger
de Seyton, chief justice of the Common Pleas, discovering the fraud, went to
the king, taking with him both the abbot of Pipewell and the prior of Kirby.
Edward I. personally adjudicated, and ruled that the abbey should retain
Causton on payment to the priory of 200 marks. The monks in their joy and
gratitude ordained that the anniversary of Roger de Seyton should be solemnly
kept in their house for ever. (Footnote 6) In 1307 the monks suffered grievous
disaster in connexion with this estate. A candle carelessly fixed against the
wall of one of the outbuildings of Causton Grange caused a great fire, and the
whole of the buildings were burnt to the ground. The description of the
chronicler shows that the Pipewell monks had then built for themselves a
monastery in miniature in the centre of their Warwickshire domains. We are told
that the fire consumed the cloister, the dormitories of the monks and
lay-brethren, with the adjoining rear-dorter, the frater and the chapel,
together with a certain little chamber adjoining it, the abbot's chamber, the
chamber of the monk 'de Bruer',' and also the well-built kitchen. The buildings
were restored, but, as 'years rolled on,' in the first year of Abbot William
came robbers to Causton by night and burnt the kitchen of the monks and lay
brethren, as well as the stable for the horses, but the monks and brethren
there escaped from the terrible danger. (Footnote 7) When the Valor of 1535 was
taken the property of the abbey at Causton was returned as bringing in an
annual income of £36 6s. 8d.; the whole of their Warwickshire property
produced a yearly return of £93 13s. 11d. The abbot and convent also held
the rectories or considerable outgoings from the rectories of Geddington, Great
and Little Newton, Barford, Great Oakley, and Elkington in Northamptonshire,
Dunchurch in Warwickshire, and Wickhambrook in Suffolk, together with lands and
rents both in these counties and in the shires of Rutland, Bedford, and
Lincoln. The clear annual value of the house at the time of its dissolution
amounted to £283 1s. 7¾d., and the gross value to nearly
£350. British History Online |

Little Cornard. Manor of Cawston or Caxton's Manor. The manor belonged to the Caxton family before it came to the de Greys, but seems to have beed held in the time of King John by Sir Peter Braunch in right of his wife Joan. Richard Caketon had free warren in Little Cornard and Bures in 1296-70 [see De Greys manor, Cavendish in this hundred]. From the Caxtons the manor appears to have passed to Sir Richard Cornerd and on the marriage of his daughter Alice to Sir Thomas de Grey son of John de Grey of Cavendish to have passed into the the de Grey family. There is an early rental - Caxton Rental d'ni Thom. de Grey milit de ten'tibus suis que q'nd' fuer' Ric'1 de Caxston p'tinent ' ad man ' s'm in Corneth p'ua.

[1298-9], in a certain tavern, procured some of the bishop's men to go to the house of Richard le Cordewaner in Wdestret, where they threatened Richard, and one of them struck him on the head with a stick and threw after him (post ipsum prostravit) a big knife with which he was cutting leather, and not content therewith, entered his house and broke the door of his chamber and beat him, whereupon his wife raised the hue and cry. On this, Henry de Gloucestre and Elias de Suffolk came to the house to stop the affair, and the Bishop's men, letting go the above Richard, and drawing their swords, pursued them as far as the house of Elias. Meanwhile the neighbours, roused by the hue and cry, came to the place to restrain the men from doing further harm, and strangers and unknown persons joined in the fray, so that if the Bishop's men received any hurt there, it was done by unknown persons. | ||

speculation) was probably identical with Lime Street Ward, and not with
Cornhill Ward, as surmised by the late Mr. Riley ('Memorials,' Introd., p. xi,
note). Thomas Sely, a witness to this deed and described as Alderman of Fer
thingward, is elsewhere recorded as Alderman of Lime Street Ward. Again, we
find John de Causton described as Alderman of Lime Street Ward, anno 6 Edward

Office Title: Close Roll 13 Edward II m. 5d schedule. 1320 Memorandum, that whereas the king, on 20 May, in the 6th year of his reign [1313], willed by his charter and ordained that native and foreign merchants buying wool and wool-fells within this realm for the purpose of taking them to the lands of Brabant, Flanders, and Artoys, should carry them to a certain staple in one of those lands to be ordained by the mayor and community of the merchants of this realm, and to no other place in those lands, and he granted to the said mayor and merchants that the mayor and council of the merchants might impose certain sums upon native and alien merchants contravening this ordinance, and that such money should be levied of the offenders' goods by the king's ministers when informed thereof for the use of the king, saving to the mayor and merchants power to punish the offenders if their goods should be found in the aforesaid staple outside this realm; and the King was afterwards given to understand at York, in the 13th year of his reign [8 July 1319-7 July 1320], that many native and alien merchants carried wool and wool-fells out of the realm to other places than the staple in the aforesaid lands; whereupon he assigned John de Cherleton, mayor of the merchants of the staple, to enquire by the oath of jurors concerning trespassers against the aforesaid charter from the time when it was granted, and to impose sums of money upon them and levy the same for the king's use, according to the charter, and to certify the king thereof. Which appointment the said John began to execute in the city of London, and certain merchants complained to the king's council concerning the execution of the appointment; by reason whereof he was ordered by the council to stay the execution of the matter until the quinzaine of Easter then next following. At which quinzaine Bonus Philippi, Dinus Forcetti, merchants of the society of the Bardi of Florence, Manenttus Francisci, Bankinus Brunelisk, and other alien merchants appeared before the king in the green chamber in his palace at Westminster before his council, to wit W. archbishop of Canterbury, J. bishop of Norwich, the chancellor, W. bishop of Exeter, the treasurer, Aymer de Valencia, earl of Pembroke, Hugh le Despenser the elder, Hugh le Despenser the younger, Bartholomew de Badelesmere, steward of the household, the justices of both Benches, the barons of the exchequer, and many others of the king's council, and asserted that they ought not to be restricted to the said staple, saying that they never consented that the aforesaid charter should be obtained from the king, and that they ought not to be restricted by it to go with their wool or wool-fells to that staple against their will from the time when they have paid the customs due for the wool and wool-fells, and that it is contained in Magna Carta that all merchants may come into the realm, stay therein, and return thence safely and securely with their goods upon paying the due and accustomed customs; and, on the other side, the aforesaid John de Cherleton, John de Boreford, Hamo Godchep, Thomas Cok, John Prior, Thomas Prentiz, John de Causton, William de Hacford, John de Grantham, Richard de Hakene, John Prior the younger, Thomas Beauflour, William de Luton, William de Bray, John Cosyn, Wymond Brother, William le Clerk, Henry Wymond, Thomas de Enefeld, Robert le Callere, Walter Gorst, Elias le Callere, John de Bengho, John Simeon, Henry Darcy, Henry Nasard, Geoffrey le Botyller, John Gernoun, Simon de Swanlond, Reyner Piggesflessh, John de Assheford, and many other native merchants, said that there was a staple for wool in the aforesaid lands in the times of Henry III and Edward I [1216-1307], but as there was no pain against contraveners, the aforesaid charter was obtained at the suit of native and alien merchants under the penalties contained in the same, and that proclamations and inhibitions were made at the time of the making of the charter and afterwards by the king's writs forbidding native or alien merchants taking wool or wool-fells for sale to any of the said lands except to the staple, under the penalties contained in the charter, and they prayed that the pains and punishments therein contained may be executed against native and alien merchants contravening the tenor of the charter, especially as the charter was obtained by the common consent of native and alien merchants, and the effect of the charter and proclamations has not been since revoked or suspended, adding that by means of this staple the king can constrain the men of the aforesaid lands by whom his Scottish enemies are cherished and maintained from making such aid to his enemies. And the charter and the grant to John de Cherleton having been there read, it was considered by the king and his council that execution thereof should be made so far as concerns the levying of the penalties contained in the charter for the king's use. |

NRO. 1335 Robert de Cawston high sheriff of Norfolk. 1349 Robert de Cawston commander of mercenaries in war with France - Froissants Chronicles. Michael de Cawston died 1395. Master of Michaelhouse Cambridge was a Norfolk man. Carter, History of Cambridge I page 403 - a native of Cawston (village) about 12 miles NW of Norwich. He became a fellow of Pembroke College. Le Keux Memorials of Cambridge page 56 E C Hooper - Doctor of divinty and Master of Michaelhouse. His appointment as Master was apparently made subsequently to 1359 when William of Gotham is mentioned as holding that office (Carter page 303). In 1361 or 1362 Le Neve gives the date (Fasti I 598 E Hardy) Cawston was chancellor of this university. He is famous as one of its benefactors and it was enacted by the ancient statutes that each year for ever in the three general processions a special recommendation should be made of his soul. (June stat 172 Jas Heywoods College Statutes for Cambridge p 175) Cawston's manifucence is said to have extended to all colleges that subsisted in his time in the university, his gifts to their libraries being specially commemorated. A note in one of the volumes presented by him to Peterhouse described him as holding the preferment of Dean of Chichester (Carter page 38). His nam does not occur in Le Neves list (ubi supra i page 256) but there is a gap of a number of years between the elevation of Wenn Richard le Serope to the bishopric of Chichester in 1393 and the next name in the series, that of John de Maydenhith who emerges in 1400. It is natural then to place Cawston in this interval. He died in 1395 according to Peacock - Observations on the Statutes of Cambridge (appendix page XVI note and Cooper's Annals of Cambridge page 142) for the date 1396 (given in Cooper's Edition of Le Keux) is apparently a mistake. Walter de Cawston at Caston's Manor in Cawston. Walter lived and had an estate there about the time of Richard I and his heirs had divers lands granted them from the Manor by John de Burgh 1246. Robert de Cawston was one of those wise men whom Edward III thought fit to appoint to meet at Westminster to be of council to his son Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester whom he had appointed Custos of England during his absence in the French War with the Prince of Wales and many noble lords in his company. In 1302 he and John de Weasenham were commissioned to lay an embargo on all ships from the mouth of the Thames eastward and to supply them with men and arms to resist the French, then making an invasion. |

St. Mary le Bow
104/13. This property occupied the W. side of Bow churchyard and was bounded to
the S. by 12 and to the W. by a property in All Hallows Bread Street or St.
Mary Magdalen Milk Street parish known at one time as the Brokenseld. .... in
1354 William de Causton described his rent of 2 marks (£1. 6s. 8d.)
granted by Roger le Long, as due from the tenements sometime of Roger le
Ropere, and the shop which Ralph de Upton sometime held. (Footnote 3)
A quit-rent of 2 marks (£1. 6s. 8d.) from his own tenement was granted by Roger son of John de Long, corder, to William de Causton in 1322. Maud, widow of Roger, quitclaimed all right of dower in the same in 1323. By his will, dated and proved 1354, William de Causton, mercer, left his quit-rent of 2 marks from the tenements sometime of Roger le Ropere and the shop which Ralph de Upton sometime held, in the parish of St. Mary le Bow, with numerous other quit-rents, to 2 chaplains in the church of St. Pancras, celebrating for the souls of himself, his late wife Denise, his uncle William de Causton, and Edith Palmere. This bequest does not seem to have been effective, as in 1406 Isabella, widow of Thomas Hochous of Causton (Norfolk) and cousin and heir of William Causton, late citizen and mercer, granted and quitclaimed in the rents specified in William's will, including this one of 2 marks, to Alan Everard and Nicholas Hamme, mercers, and Richard Style junior, fishmonger, all citizens. This rent is not recorded after this date and does not seem to have been paid in the 16th century.

(Footnote 93) Shortly afterwards he granted to Simon of Abingdon, citizen and draper, and his heirs 12 a. in Gyesfield on the north side of the highway to Bishopsgrove, with the reversion of the adjoining 6 a. held as dower by Joan.

few have been discovered Shipbuilding would also be carried on along the banks
of the river, but apparently by men not important enough to find their way into
the city records Only one shipwright has been found in the roll, Alan le
Palmere, who lived in Petty Wales near the Tower (Footnote 3)All the
occupations that have been mentioned, from their nature had their headquarters
in these wards But there were also, along the river-side, wealthy members of
misteries which centred in other parts of London These, like Benedict de
Fulsham, (Footnote 4) the pepperer, and Robert le Callere, (Footnote 5) the
mercer in Vintry, and John de Caustone (Footnote 6) in Billingsgate, doubtless
imported ware for their own shops, and for the purely shop-keeping members of

great shed which it came to include in Henry VI's reign, which Edward III built
by the church of St Mary le Bow, in order to behold the justings and other

Brycheford essoins herself against William de Causton and Denise his wife by
Robert de Stratford. The parties are adjourned until the quindene. On that day,
viz. 3 Sep., they are again adjourned by Henry de Coumbemartyn and John Priour,
senior, aldermen, because the mayor and aldermen are occupied at Guildhall with
business concerning the collection of the money for the king's gift (exhennio),
until the octave [10 Sep.]. [Entry incomplete. Cf. 318.]Fri. 20 Aug. 1333.
Continuation. 318. John de Brycheford and Alice his wife are summoned to answer
William de Causton and Denise his wife who complain that, whereas a dispute
occurred between Walter le Waleys, citizen, and Thomas de Brauncestre, citizen,
in 1276–7, when Gregory de Rokesle was mayor, and Robert de Arraz and
Ralph le Feure, sheriffs, concerning their adjoining tenements, and was settled
by the mayor and other good men summoned for the purpose, the parties agreeing
that Thomas and his heirs and assigns should have and hold in perpetuity a new
building (edificamentum), with the use of a courtyard (curie) and well, and
with the right of free entry and exit towards Westchepe and the church of St.
Matthew de Fridaistrete, as appears in an indenture made between them; and the
pls. hold the tenement which then belonged to Walter, and John de Brycheford
and Alice his wife that of Thomas, the same John and Alice have obstructed the
courtyard by building there and have placed a cistern in an inconvenient
position, reducing the space available to the pls. The defs. come and say that
the courtyard is not common to the parties, because in the time of Henry III
the tenement which the defs. now hold belonged to Henry fitz Stephen, with half
the adjoining courtyard or plot of land, and he granted the same to Hugh de
Rokyngham, goldsmith, who granted it to Thomas de Brauncestre, who, in his
will, provided for it to be sold by his executors [names omitted], who sold it
to John de Dallyngg, mercer, from whom the defs. bought it. On Fri. 22 Oct. the
assize comes by J. de Preston, mayor, Nicholas de Farndon, J. de Granthan,
Gregory de Norton, Reginald de Conduit, Benedict de Fulsham, H. de Cumbemartyn,
J. de Causton, J. Priour and Henry de Sechford, aldermen, and John Hamond and
William Hanisard, sheriffs, and the parties likewise; but because of various
difficulties the proceedings were adjourned to the next Husting of Common Pleas
to be terminated there. On Mon. 6 June 1334, the parties come and ask for the
record and judgment. The customary discussion (colloquium) having been held
between the mayor and aldermen the record is read, and the allegations of the
parties considered together with the indenture between Walter le Waleys and
Thomas de Brauncestre previously produced by the pls., and it appears to the
court that the courtyard and well are common to the parties, and that no
partition was made at the time of, or subsequent to, the drawing up of the
indenture. Afterwards the mayor and aldermen go to the site and find that the
defs., as alleged, had moved the cistern from the place where it used to stand
and built a fence (claustura) in a new position without the consent of the pls.
Judgment by view of the carpenters and masons sworn to the assize, that within
40 days etc. they replace the cistern in its former position, and rebuild the
fence as it was before. British history Online Helena M. Chew & William |

Fri. 18 Mar. 1334. Mayor, sheriff and the aldermen. 319 cont. The pl. complains that the def. has prohibited him from repairing the wall 60 ft. long and 3 ft. wide, joining their tenements in the same par. William appears by his attorney and says that he has written evidence to support his claim to the wall, and asks for time to produce it. He is given a day on Fri. in Easter week; but because pleas cannot be held at that time, the proceedings are adjourned by Gregory de Norton and William de Causton, aldermen, until 14 Apr. [sic], when the assize comes by the mayor, Nicholas de Farndone, Gregory de Norton, Reginald de Conduit, John de Causton, Henry de Sechford, William de Causton, Andrew Aubrey, John de Hyngeston, aldermen, and John Hamond, sheriff, and the parties come likewise. The def., asked whether he can show cause why the wall should not be assigned to the pl., says only that the wall-plate (plata) of his house hangs above it (supra pendet), and used to rest upon it and be carried by it until the wall was demolished. It appears to the mayor and aldermen after carefully viewing the site that the def. can claim nothing whatever in the wall. Judgment that the pl. do what he will with it, notwithstanding the previous prohibition. Def. in mercy. British history Online Helena M. Chew & William | ||

(Editor) (1976) Edmonton manors The manor of DEPHAMS or Deephams took its name from a London citizen, Roger de Depham. Between 1314 and 1355 Depham acquired property in north-east Edmonton from 17 people, mostly by purchase or exchange, but the largest estate came to him in 1347 as chief creditor after John le Venour had forfeited his estates for debt. John le Venour had inherited most of his 196-acre estate from his mother, Sibyl, daughter and heir of Robert Blund (d. 1290). The Blund inheritance had originated in a grant of ¼ knight's fee by Geoffrey de Mandeville to Robert Blund of London c. 1154-66. (Footnote 51) In 1263 the Blund fee had been described as the 'manor of Edmonton' and in 1281 the estate, although small in demesne, had included pleas of court, customary works, and other manorial appurtenances. In 1353 the Blund ¼ fee, with ? knight's fee held in 1242 by Geoffrey de Querendon, was held by Roger de Depham, Robert de Plesington, and William Causton, all of whom had some interest in John le Venour's lands. The manor of Willoughbys was enlarged by the acquisition by marriage of an estate originally belonging to the Aguillons. In the early 13th century Sir William Aguillon had land and tenants in Edmonton, as had Sir Robert Aguillon c. 1255. In 1286 Robert had died seised of demesne meadow land and rents, held of William de Say, and his widow Margaret Rivers had held the property as dower until her death in 1292, when it had passed to Robert's daughter Isabel, wife of Hugh Bardolf, Lord Bardolf. Their grandson John, Lord Bardolf, had granted his demesne meadow land to William Causton in 1337 but the rest of his property in Edmonton seems to have descended to Thomas, Lord Bardolf (d. 1408), and through Thomas's daughter Joan and her husband William Phelip, Lord Bardolf, to their daughter Elizabeth who married John Beaumont, Viscount Beaumont (d. 1460), between 1425, and 1436.

Manors The origins of the reputed manor of WICK lay in land which had been
brought to the Templars by Ailbrith when he entered their order and, apart from
two small holdings, had been granted by the master Richard of Hastings to
Robert of Wick by 1185. (footnote 74)The land was held of the Templars and,
after their suppression, of the Hospitallers. (Footnote 74) It was held by
Robert of Wick's son Edmund de la Grave and later with other parcels by Robert
Belebarbe, who leased all his lands in Wick in 1301 and conveyed them to Simon
of Abingdon, alderman, in 1316. Simon made further additions, as did his widow
Eve and her second husband John of Causton, alderman, who sold Wyke and all
their other lands in Hackney and Stepney to Adam Francis (d. 1375), mayor of
London, in 1349; the manor then consisted of at least two houses and 114 a.
After more purchases, some made through agents including Nicholas atte Wyke, a
clerk, the estate passed to Adam's widow Agnes and then to his daughter Maud,
who married John Aubrey, Sir Alan Buxhall (d. 1381), and John de Montagu, earl
of Salisbury. (Footnote 75) The earl was executed in 1400, when his forfeited
estates included the manor of Hackney Wick, with a tenement called the Wick,
held half of the bishop of London and half of the Hospitallers. (Footnote

Lane Keene, D.J.; Harding, Vanessa. (1987)St. Mary le Bow 104/29-30 From 1350 onwards the property is generally described as the seld of the hospital of St. Thomas of Acre, (Footnote 8) and Haliwell Priory presumably both received a share of the income and was responsible for a share of the quit-rents due. In 1406-7 the abbot of Bermondsey successfully claimed 6 1/2 years arrears of a rent of 20s. from this property. Those who had withheld the rent were named as the master of St. Thomas of Acre, the prioress of Haliwell, and 5 private individuals who presumably occupied separate parts of 29-30. These 5 were William Causton, hatter, Thomas Pyk, draper, John Godesburgh, hatter, Sewall Hoddesdon, and Denise Causton. At about the same time the prior of St. Mary Spital complained of an intrusion in the parish made by the same group of tenants, except for Hoddesdon. By 1449-50, when a carpenter mended windows there, the property was known as the Dagger. Over the period 1482-90 the hospital of St. Thomas of Acre received £56 from letting the property at £7 a year. In the 16th century the hospital paid quit- rents of £1. 6s. 8d. to St. Mary Spital and 13s. 4d. to Bermondsey Abbey for the Dagger. These rents were extinguished when the religious houses were dissolved. British history Online |

In the early 16th century William Burwell, citizen and mercer, lent money to the parish for rebuilding houses belonging to them in St. Pancras parish (145/11) (S. of Pancras Lane) and St. Antonin's, and also gave money, so that he should be considered co-founder with John Causton (d. 1353) of the chantry of which these houses formed a part of the endowment, and that he might have a lease of 'the Clokhouse' (between 18 to the W., the churchyard to the N., the church to the E., and the street to the S.) and of other rents belonging to the parish..

St. Pancras Soper
Lane 145/11-13. These properties occupied the corner between Soper Lane on the
W., Pancras Lane on the N., 145/14-15 on the E., and properties in the parish
of St. Antonin on the S. Thirteenth to fifteenth century: 11 and 12
12 By the time of his death in 1353 John de Causton was living in the parish of St. Mary at Hill, but he may at one time have lived in this property, his only substantial holding in St. Pancras parish, for by his will, drawn up and enrolled in 1353, he established a chantry chaplain in the church of St. Pancras and directed that his body be buried in the north chapel of St. Mary in that church. By this will de Causton left his tenement with adjacent shops in the parish of St. Pancras (12) and a tenement which he had acquired in the parish of St. Antonin (perhaps on the site of 11) as the source for an income of £6. 13s. 4d. a year which was to support the chantry chaplain. The tenements themselves he left to his niece Maud and her husband James Andrew, citizen, for the terms of their lives with remainder to Haliwell Priory. Sixteenth and seventeenth centuries: 12 and 13 By the early 16th century the tenement in St. Pancras parish (12) and that in St. Antonin parish (perhaps 11) which John de Causton had charged with rent for the support of his chantry had come into the possession of the parish of St. Pancras. In 1522 the 2 tenements were said lately to have fallen into ruin and decay so that their issues would soon be insufficient to perform the charges of de Causton's will. ..... The parish erected 2 new houses on the site of this tenement, the stable and garden, and the land once of John de Causton, towards the cost of which Burwell, a mercer, made a substantial loan. Burwell also gave money to the parish with the intent that he should be acknowledged as the co-founder of de Causton's chantry. British history Online |

St. Pancras Soper
Lane 145/0. Chantry and other endowments The earliest recorded permanent endowment of the church with lands was by John de Causton (1353) and William de Causton (1354). Both chantries were subsequently augmented and there may at times have been some confusion between them. (Footnote 9)John de Causton left property in the parishes of St. Pancras and St. Antonin (145/11-12) charged with the cost of a chaplain celebrating in the church of St. Pancras in the chapel of St. Mary, for the souls of himself, his parents, his wives, and others. The chaplain was to receive 10 marks (£6. 6s. 8d.) and other small sums were to go to the rector, clerks, and others. Presentation to the chantry, after the first two occasions, was to be made by the rector and parishioners. There is no separate entry for John de Causton's original endowment. (Footnote 10) In 1354 William de Causton left money for 3 chaplains celebrating in the church of St. Pancras for the souls of himself, his wife, his parents, and Edith Palmere, comprising 10 marks (£6. 6s. 8d.) charged on his properties in the parish (145/9B, a plot in 10, 14-15) and quit-rents totalling £14. 6s. from several other parishes. After William's death his executors Simon and Richard Worsted and John Bernes granted property in the parishes of St. Benet Woodwharf and St. Michael Paternoster to the rector and churchwardens of St. Pancras, perhaps instead of some of the quit-rents mentioned in William's will. In 1376 John Biernes augmented de Causton's bequest with rents charged on his tenement near St. Paul's Wharf. John Everard, in 1426, left a quit-rent once held by William de Causton, from properties in various parishes, to the church of St. Pancras to maintain two chantries for the souls of himself and de Causton. By the 16th century William de Causton's chantry had two properties in St. Benet Paul's Wharf and St. Michael Paternoster, from which rents of £2. 10s. and £1 were received, and quit-rents totalling £2. 12s. 10 3/4d. from properties in the parishes of St. Pancras (10s. 2 3/4d.: see 145/24B); St. Dunstan in the West (13s. 4d.); St. Magnus (16s.); and from a property belonging to the parish of St. James Garlickhithe (13s. 4d.). The other quit-rents had perhaps become irrecoverable. In the chantry certificate of 1548 these were recorded as 'The lamps: tenements given by Simon the Worsted and others, £3. 10s.' and 'Priest: £2. 12s. 10 3/4d. rents given by Simon Causton'. (Footnote 11) Most documentary references to the church structure date from the mid 14th century or later. In 1353 John de Causton requested burial in the 'northern chapel of St. Mary', and there were altars, possibly in side-chapels, dedicated to St. Stephen and St. James. William de Causton's 'chantry of St. Anne' may also have had an altar.....

Ralph de Upton also held 2 shops adjoining the N. part of 13, possibly part of that tenement from which a rent of £1. 6s. 8d. was owed to William de Causton in 1354. In 1342 de Causton's executors sold the reversion after Margaret's death to John de Teuesham, canon of St. Paul's. Later that year Margaret, widow of Ralph de Upton, granted the selds with solars and stall(s) in the parish of St. Mary le Bow, which her husband had left her, to Ivo de Glyntone and Peter de Gildesburgh, clerks, to hold for her life, and also sold them all her goods and chattels in the same, to Sir Bartholomew de Burgherssh, kt., to hold the properties for Margaret's life. In 1343 John de Teuesham granted his reversionary interest in the selds, solars and stall late of Ralph de Upton to de Burgherssh, and quitclaimed in the same, as did Ralph de Upton's executors.

145/14-15 Simon Corp, citizen and pepperer, was later said to have inhabited the tenements with houses in St. Pancras parish which had once belonged to Henry de Boudon, but he also seems to have inhabited some properties in the parishes of St. Antonin and St. John Walbrook which by his will, dated and enrolled in 1329, he left to his wife Joan for life together with half the contents of his inn or dwelling (hospicium). By the same will he left the tenements in St. Pancras parish which he had acquired from Henry de Boudon and Alice de Arraz to be sold by his executors, namely his wife Joan, his son Thomas and John de Dureme. In 1330 Grace, widow of Henry de Boudon, quitclaimed to these executors in her husband's former tenements. In 1332 Corp's executors sold 14-15 to William de Causton, citizen and mercer. The tenements in the parish of St. Pancras acquired by de Causton on this occasion lay between 145/12 on the W. and a tenement in St. Benet Sherehog parish on the E., and extended from the venella sancti Pancracii on the N. to a tenement of Benedict de Fulsham which had once belonged to Peter Adrian (cf. above) and a tenement of John de Garton (probably in St. Antonin parish) on the S. In 1345-6 William de Causton sought the assize of nuisance against Benedict de Fulsham. (Footnote 3) William de Causton probably lived in 14-15, which in his will, drawn up and enrolled in 1354, he described as his capital tenement with houses, mansions, and shops. He left this property to his wife Cristina for life, and to be sold by his executors on her death or marriage. This and other properties in the parish (see 145/2, 10) were to be charged with a rent of £6. 13s. 4d. for the support of a chantry chaplain in the church of St. Pancras. 14-15 were then subject to the same series of transactions as 145/2 and in 1355 were acquired by John Bernes, mercer, who had married William de Causton's widow. Bernes and Cristina lived in the capital tenement between 145/12 on the W. and the tenement of St. Benet Sherehog on the E. In 1374 they granted the property to Richard Odyham, citizen and pepperer, and John Dane, who immediately leased it back to them for a term of 5 years in return for a down payment. Cristina died in 1374-5 and was buried in the church of St. Pancras. John Biernes, alderman, died in 1375, and in his will of that year instructed Odyham and Dane to sell 14-15, where he was then living, and to deposit the money in a chest at Guildhall where it was to be used for making loans to the poor.

The immediate succession to the property is not known, but by 1297 it was held by Thomas de Chigwell, according to an abutment given for 7. In 1317 it was described as the tenement formerly of Thomas de Chigwell, and in 1330, 1334, and 1339 as the tenement of Thomas de Kestevene, sometime of Thomas de Chikkewell. In 1354 William, son and heir of Thomas de Kestevene, late citizen and armourer, granted his tenement with houses in the parish of St. Mary Colechurch, which he inherited from his father and which the latter had by the grant of William de Causton, to William de Hathfeld, citizen and chandler. The property lay between Bordhaw Lane to the W., 7 to the N., 10 to the E., and 5 to the S. William de Hathfeld does not seem to have held this tenement at the time he made his will in July 1368, and in a deed of May 1368, relating to 7, 6 was described as lately of William Hathfeld and lately of Thomas de Kestevene. It may therefore have been the tenement in the parish of St. Mary Colechurch, worth £2. 6s. 8d. p.a., which Richard Tyngewyk, ironmonger, citizen, held at the time of his death in 1367. William Tyngewyk his brother took possession after Richard's death, but because the latter was a bastard without heirs the tenement escheated to the Crown.

of Soper Lane, between 23 to the S., 25 to the N., and 18 (or Popkirtle Lane)
to the E. In the 17th century the whole property was 11 ft. 3 in. (3.43 m.)
wide N.-S. and about 17 ft. (5.18 m.) deep E.-W.; this depth probably included
the width of Popkirtle Lane, which by then had disappeared. (Footnote 1)In 1858

mercer, by his will of 1354, had left a quit-rent of £6. 13s. 4d. to

(1987)St. Pancras Soper Lane 145/10Henry de Coventry, who died between 1281 and 1283, and John le Bas granted to John de Hakebourne a site for a chest (locus sive spacium stacionis cuiusdam ciste) in la Bro[de]selde. This site was later in the possession of John le Chapeler, citizen and mercer, from whom it descended to his daughter and heir, Alice la Chapelere. In 1311 Alice and her husband, Ralph ate Brom of Stepney, granted the property to Rose de Coventre. This property may have been close to the plot of land in Broad Seld which Rose de Coventre had by the gift of Robert de Hakebourne and which by her will, enrolled in 1318, she left to be sold by her executors. It may also have been close to or even identical with a plot in the Great Seld which in 1326 Ralph atte Hache, called le Brewere, and his wife Alice, daughter of the late John de Hakebourne, citizen and mercer, granted to William de Causton, citizen and mercer. This plot lay between a former plot of John de Middelburgh, mercer, on the N. and a plot formerly held by William de Laufare, mercer, and now held by the same William de Causton on the S.; it measured 1 3/4 ells and 3 in. (5 ft. 6 in.; 1.68 m.) in width. Ralph atte Hache and his wife Alice may have been identical with Ralph ate Brom and his wife Alice le Chapeler, and if so John de Hakebourne would have been identical with John le Chapeler. William de Causton thus came to hold at least 2 plots in the seld, which at his death in 1354 were probably identical with the plot there which William Cove held of him and the plot next but one (proxima secunda) in the seld after that which Beatrice de Ellyng had held. Rent from the former of these was to form part of the endowment of a chantry in the parish church of St. Pancras along with rent from 2 plots next to the door of the seld in Soper Lane which may subsequently be identified as 2. De Causton's executors in 1355 sold Cove's plot along with 2 to Nicholas Ploket, who in 1356 granted the property to John Bernes and his wife Cristina, who was de Causton's widow. De Causton left the other plot directly to John Bernes. Both plots may subsequently have been part of 2.6By his will, dated 1349 but not enrolled until 1367, William de la Panetrie, citizen and mercer, left the shop in the seld which he had acquired from Edmund de Coventre to his wife Agnes for life with remainder to his son John. Agnes later married John Shilford and in 1375 John de la Panetrie, son and heir of William, quitclaimed in the property to Agnes and John Shilford and Shilford's heirs and assigns. The property was now described as a plot which lay in the S.W. corner of the seld between 104/34 on the W., 145/1B on the S., a shop which William de la Panetrie had held at farm to the N., and a shop which Agnes de Causton had held on the E. In 1398 John de Coventre gained possession of this property when he recovered seisin of a shop against John Shelford. British history Online | ||

In 1337 Peter de Grenwico, citizen, granted £1. 13s. 4d. quit-rent out of 2 to William de Caustone, citizen, who at his death in 1354 left it towards the maintenance of his chantry in the church of St. Pancras. In spite of the terms of this will, the rents forming the endowment of his chantry descended by inheritance to Isabel, widow of Thomas Hochous of Causton (Norf.), who was the daughter of William Robyns, the son of William Caustone's sister Margaret. In 1406 Isabel granted the rents to Alan Everard, mercer, Nicholas Hamme, mercer, and Richard Style, junior, fishmonger, all citizens. The rent from 2 appears to have been paid to a chaplain in the church of St. Pancras c. 1410, but had apparently ceased to be paid by 1413-14.

(Editor) (1976) Edmonton - other estates. The largest secular estate in
medieval Edmonton was built up between 1308 and 1349 by William Causton, mercer
of London, who acquired more than 15 houses, 640 a. and £4 18s. 8d. quit
rents from 54 people. (Footnote 74) Most purchases were of small amounts,
although those made from John atte Noke in 1338 (Footnote 75) and from John le
Venour in 1342 were more substantial. (Footnote 76) The largest acquisitions,
however, were from John and Maud de Chilterne in 1339 (Footnote 77) and 1343.
(Footnote 78) John inherited from his uncle Adam de Chilterne (Footnote 79) and
Maud from her grandfather William Ford the elder. (Footnote 80) The Ford estate
had been held for 1/12 knight's fee in 1235-6 by Laurence Ford, (Footnote 81)
by John Bucointe c. 1220, (Footnote 82) and by Fubert in the 12th century.
(Footnote 83) Most of the land from the fee was granted to Clerkenwell and
Maud's inheritance may have consisted mainly of rents. In 1354 William Causton granted all his property in Edmonton, Enfield, and Tottenham to feoffees (Footnote 84) who in 1355 conveyed it to Adam Francis and Peter Favelore. (Footnote 85) Caustons, though considerably reduced in area, descended with Edmonton manor until 1571 when it was granted to Lord Burghley. (Footnote 86) In the 16th century the house and a small amount of land were separated from most of the estate, which was attached to Pymmes. (Footnote 87) William Cecil, earl of Salisbury, sold the house to Arthur Morgan, barber surgeon of London, in 1613. (Footnote 88) Thereafter the descent is obscure. William Causton apparently had a house in Edmonton, (Footnote 89) which by the 16th century was a farm-house north of Pymmes green and west of Pymmes house.

St. Pancras Soper
Lane 145/2. 2 appears first to be recorded independently in 1323, when it was a
vacant plot on the N. side of 1A. Later the property was in the possession of
William de Causton, mercer, who in his will, dated and enrolled in 1354,
described it as 2 vacant plots next to the door of Broad Seld (magna selda)
with a stall near the door standing forward towards Soper Lane (stallum prope
dictum hostium astante versus venellam de Soperlane), together with a solar
over the door and all the chests and cupboards (ciste et almarioli) within the
plots and solar. Causton also owned a plot within Broad Seld which may have
been near by and could subsequently have been included in 2. De Causton left
this and other property in the parish of St. Pancras (see 145/10, 14, 15) to
his wife Cristina for life, and on her death or remarriage his executors were
to sell the properties and give the money to the poor. He also left a quit-rent
of £6. 13s. 4d. from these properties for the maintenance of a chaplain
in the church of St. Pancras celebrating for the souls of himself, his wife,
his parents, and Edith Palmer. (Footnote 1)In May 1355 John atte Berne, one of
de Causton's executors and his former apprentice, sold these properties to de
Causton's widow Cristina to hold in fee and inheritance. In June the other 2
executors, Simon de Worsted and Richard de Worsted, sold the reversion of the
properties on Cristina's death or marriage to Nicholas Ploket, citizen and
mercer, who made a down payment and was to pay the vendors a rent of £6.
13s. 4d. Both these deeds were acknowledged in Chancery in June, and in July
Ploket and Cristina each opposed the other's deed in the presence of the mayor,
aldermen, and sheriffs of the city. By 18 October Cristina had married John
atte Berne and so forfeited her claim on the property, and on that day Simon de
Worsted and Richard de Worsted sold the properties for £266. 13s. 4d.
(400 marks) to Nicholas Ploket, who was to pay the £6. 13s. 4d. rent to a
chaplain in the church of St. Pancras. In November Simon and Richard
quitclaimed in the property to Ploket, who immediately granted it in perpetuity
to John Bernes, citizen and mercer, and his wife Cristina. (Footnote 2)2 may
have been among the 2 messuages and 3 shops in London which in 1356 de
Causton's executors obtained licence to alienate in mortmain to the parson of
St. Pancras to find lights in the church and do other works of piety for de
Causton's soul, but this seems unlikely. In 1359 Richard de Notyngham and
Nicholas Ploket, citizens and mercers, quitclaimed in all those lands,
tenements, and rents in London once of William de Causton to John Bernes and
his wife Cristina, who thus appear to have continued in possession of 2. The
£6. 13s. 4d. rent from this and other properties (145/10, 14, 15) which
was to maintain the chaplain in the church of St. Pancras, however, seems to
have come into the possession of the heirs of William de Causton, who were
probably responsible for appointing the chaplain and paying him his income.
This rent and other rents totalling £14. 6s. which de Causton had left in
his will to maintain 2 chaplains in the church of St. Pancras descended by
inheritance to Isabel widow of Thomas Hochous and daughter of William Robyns,
who was the son of William de Causton's sister Margaret. Footnotes 1 HR 18(63), 44(110), 53(68), 69(106), 82(73). 2 HR 83(62), 84(13-15); Cal Close R 1354-60, pp. 201, 207; Cal PMR 1323-64, p. 255. British history Online |

NOTE ON THE BIRTHPLACE OF CAXTON. vol. II. page 231. In confirmation of our opinion that Caxton was born at Causton, in Hadlow, and that caxton and causton are one and the same name, we would note that in a deed of entail, dated 24th April, 1359, whereby Bennet Bettenham, widow of Stephen Bettenham, of Cranbrook, entails her estates,—and among them this very manor of Causton,—it is in the body of the deed actually written Cauxton and Cauxston. Surely this is decisive of the question, always remembering, as we have already stated, that a was pronounced broad, and to those who wrote by ear must have been represented by au. Caxton most assuredly called himself Cauxton. L. B. L. | SOG | vol 5 pages 324-5 |

CAWSTON or CAUSTON, MICHAEL DE (d. 1395), ,master of Michaelhouse, Cambridge, was a Norfolk man (Carter, History of Cambridge, i. 403) presumably a native of the village of Cawston, about twe1ve miles north west of Norwich. He became fellow of Pembroke ColIege; Cambridge (LeKeux, Memorials of Cambridge, i. 56, ed C. H. Cooper), doctor of divinity, and master of Michaelhouse. His appointment as master was apparently made subsequently to 1359, when William of Gotham is mentioned as holding that office (Carter, p 303). In 1361 (or 1362 as Le Neve gives the date, Fasti iii. 598, ed. Hardy) Cawston was chancellor of his university. He is famous as one of its benefactors ; and it was enacted by the ancient statutes 'that each year for ever recommendation shou1d be made of [his] soul ( Anc. Stat. 172 James Heywood's Collection of statutes for Cambridge, p. 175): Cawston's munificence is also said to have extended to colleges that subsisted at his time in the university, his gifts to their libraries being specially commemorated. A note in one of the volumes presented by him to Peterhouse describes him as holding, besides his Cambridge office, the preferment of dean of Chichester (Carter, p. 38 ). His name does not occur in Le Neve's list (ubi supra, i.256); but there is a gap of a number of years between the elevation of dean Richard le Scrope to the bishopric of Chichester in 1383 and the next name in the series, that of John de Maydenhith, who emerges in 1400. It is natural to place Cawston in this interval. He died in 1395 (according to Peacock, Obsevations on the statutes of Cambridge appendix,p.xvi, note; and Cooper Annals of Cambridge,i. 142), for the date 1396 (given in .Cooper's edition of Le Keux 1.c.) is apparently a misprint. | ERO | Printed vol |

Norfolk, apprentice of Henry Perle, mercer, brought a bill to the effect that his master had no shop and was intending to go abroad, taking the petitioner with him, whereby he would be entirely prevented from learning his trade. He prayed that enquiry might be made into the matter. [French]The master, who was summoned, admitted that he was going abroad on business and was uncertain as to the time of his return, and that he could not keep shop in the City. He claimed, however, that the apprentice was his chattel (Footnote 41) and that he could dispose of him by gift or sale like any other chattel. He asked that he might put him to a certain Roger de Causton to serve the remainder of his term.The apprentice prayed that, as his master could not instruct him, and as he was not bound to serve any other person against his will and did not wish to serve the said Roger, the Court would exonerate him from his apprenticeship and allow him to choose another master of the same mistery, namely, John Fyfhide, mercer. After deliberation the Court granted his petition, on the ground that he was not bound to serve any other person than his original master against his will. Bristish History Online | ||

20 December 1738 I went with my family to town for the winter. I attended the Georgia Office, where met the following gentlemen: Thomas Towers, in the Trustee chair, Archer, in the C. C. chair, Dr Hales, Egmont, sir William Heathcote, La Roche, La Potre. Vernon. Avers. Mr Smith. As Common Council, we passed our approbation of our annual general account of receipts and disbursements, and ordered 100 copies to be printed. We received a report from the Committee of Accounts touching Mr Chardon's accounts, and agreed thereto, whereby the balance of his account, amounting to £429 18s lOd. was ordered to be paid to Mr Simons, the merchant. We also ordered a letter to be wrote to Mr Urlsperger at Augsburg importing that we had received his letter, dated 15th September last, and would enable Saltsburgers to go to Georgia as far as £100, to be employed in paying their passage over from England. We also ordered payment of a certified account, £57 17s, the same being certified to be due by Mr Causton before he had received our order to certify any more accounts. But two other certified accounts arriving, which were certified by Mr Causton since his acknowledgment of the arrival of our order not to certify, we resolved they should not be paid. A petition from the two clerks of our stores at Savannah to have their salaries of £10 per annum advanced or to give them leave to quit: And a petition from one Samuel Wagoner to have leave to alienate his lot at Hamstead, were both referred to the consideration of a Committee. Mr Delamot, schoolmaster at Savannah, being returned from Georgia, and assisted by Mr Whitfeild with £15 in order to pay his passage, and clear his debts, we ordered the £15 should be repaid Mr Whitfeild. A proposal containing sundry propositions made to the Trustees by Mr Whitfeild for advancing the religious concerns of the colony was read, and in the main agreed to. We also agreed to give him, as he desired, a commission to collect money for building a church for the Saltsburgers at Ebenezer. Mr Delamot appeared before us; he is the son of a sugar baker, and out of charity to the souls of men went over to Georgia, and without putting the Trustees to any charge undertook the care of instructing the children of the colony in the principles of Christianity. He is now entered upon his father's business. He gave us but a bad account of our colony: complained much of Mr Causton's tyranny, of the poorness of the land, of the poverty of the people &c. He said the white mulberry tree will not grow well there, that what with Mr Causton's arbitrary behaviour, who overrules the other magistrates, the badness of the land, the uncertainty of the people's tenure, the dissatisfaction that females are not to inherit, &c.. numbers of people have deserted the colony and half that remain will soon be gone. That Jones, our surveyor, is both ignorant and negligent in laying the land, so that when men have cultivated their supposed lots they have been disposed by others who laid claim thereto as being part of their land surveyed to them before by Jones. That Mr Causton has taken care to have the best land in all the province, and is rich, having 200 head of cattle, and his land finely improved. That four or five who are his favourites may have what they please from the stores, but all others are denied often what is their due. That three parts in four of all the land he had seen in the province was pine barren and cannot answer the labour of the occupiers. He said a great deal more on this melancholy subject. Mr Vernon, I, Dr Hales, Mr Smith, Mr Towers, Mr Archer and Mr Lapotre dined together, and at six I returned home. There were many things of consequence in Mr Stevens' journal, lately arrived, which required speedy consideration, but I could not prevail on the gentlemen to stay and read it, which gives me much trouble to see the little attention many are inclined to give to the colony's affairs. It was referred to a Committee which meets next Wednesday [27 December 1738]. Among the packets now arrived was Mr Causton's journal from 25 July, 1737, to 24 September, containing little of moment, with a duplicate of his issues of stores from 1 November, 1737, to 1 December following, and of receipts given him from December 25, 1737, to 24 June, 1738. Also copies of sundry letters that passed between Mr Causton, Captain Gascoign, Mr Horton, &c. Also affidavits concerning Mr Wesley and Bradley's ill behaviour to said Causton. Letters also from Mr Causton to the Trustees of 25 July and 26 August last. Letters also from Mr Stephens of 25 July and 26 August. A letter from Camuse, the silk man, to the Trustees, dated 28 August. And from Mr Horton to the Trustees of the same date. And from Patrick Grant to the Trustees of the same date, complaining of abuses from Bailiff Parker. And from Edward Bush, a blacksmith, to succeed Mr West in that business. The state of improvements at Ebenezer, Savannah and the adjacent villages. | BL Add MS 46920-47213 | |

23 August 1738 I went to town to the Georgia Office, where met Mr Lapotre, in the Trustee chair, Mr Smith, Mr Vernon, Dr Hales and Egmont. We received from. Mr Verelts, our accountant, a receipt from the bank of 300£. paid in by Mr Amos Callard, attorney, of New Inn, the only surviving trustee under the will of Timothy Wilson, esq., being part of the charity money he bequeathed, at the discretion of the trustees, and Mr Callard bestowed this 300£. upon Georgia. We took into consideration his Majesty's instruction relating to the trade with the Indians in Georgia, and ordered a letter to be wrote to General Oglethorp expressing our desire that he would concert with Colonel Bull, Lieutenant-Governor of Carolina, the appointing persons to settle the boundaries of each province and the nations of Indians within each. Also to compute the number of traders against the number of nations in each province. To settle the nations one licensed trader can supply, and the nations which require more nations than one to supply them. That one half of the said traders may be licensed by the Commissioners of Carolina and the other half by the Commissioners of Georgia; and that the plan of proper Acts may be prepared and sent over to the Trustees for their consideration to answer the purposes of his Majesty's said instructions; and that in the meantime the Commissioners of both provinces proceed in their respective provinces in concert with each other to carry on a mutual trade to the Indians in both provinces. A certified account from Causton, dated 28 April, 1738, for 241£. 19s. 9d. sterling value in Indian corn delivered him by Ellis and Ryan, arrived lately, was refused by us to be paid and ordered to be returned. This gave us great offence, for we knew he had before the date of this certificate received our orders to certify no more accounts; he certified in a different manner than formerly, imagining, I suppose, that this would be taken for not breaking our order; but this did not satisfy us. Mr Verelts reported to us that the whole sum of certified accounts (exclusive of those ordered last Common Council Board to be paid, exclusive also of this last bill of 241£. 19s. 9d., and of another small account of 57£.) amounts to 4,209£., and we this day (pursuant to the Common Council's order importing that any five of the Common Council Board shall pay these accounts) drew a draft on the bank for paying the said 4,209£. to the respective parties to whom they were due. Three letters from the Revd Mr Whitfield, dated from Savannah, the last whereof was of the 2nd June, were read. In it he acquaints us that he intends to return to England at Christmas to take priest's orders, and then to go back. A letter from Andrew Millar, the botanist, dated from Jamaica 26 May last, was read, wherein he expresses that his discouragements from the Spaniards are so great he resolves to return to England, but if we please will first pass over to Georgia with some things he has collected, and see them planted there. We ordered an answer to be returned him that we should be pleased he did go to Georgia with his collections, but having been long subscribers to him, and having seen no fruits of our expense, but a disappointment of our expectations, we could not be at the charge of sending him. After this we dined together at the Cyder House, and then I returned home. | BL | Add MS 46920-47213 |

15 July 1738 I went again this day to town in hopes to meet a Board of Common Council, but we were only seven, viz. sir William Heathcote, in the Trustee chair, Mr Smith, Egmont, Lapotre, H. Archer, T. Towers and H. Eyres. Mr Norris attended and produced his letters of ordination, which we ordered to be taken notice of in our book: he also produced the Bishop of London's licence to him to do ecclesiastical offices in Georgia, but this we did not order to be entered. Our accountant produced a certified account arrived at the office since our last meeting, dated 15 April last, sent over by Captain Macpherson, captain of the Rangers in Georgia, for wages due to Lady day last, amounting to £129 8s 43/4d. We took notice that our order to Causton to certify no more accounts, dated 14 December, had reached him 30 March, for Mr Stephens, our secretary, to whom we enclosed that order, for Mr Causton, in his last journal acknowledges the receipt of that packet. This has an ill aspect for Causton. He also signed another certified account since his receipt of the above-mentioned order to the contrary of this practice, in favour of Mr Jenys, and an account faulty too in not giving the Trustees credit for the money arising from the rice duty in Carolina. We not being a Board could do nothing in the matter, nor resolve anything in another affair of great consequence, namely, the report of the Board of Trade to the Council Board concerning the Indian trade, in which report there is something that we apprehend will entirely destroy the Indian trade if we should comply therewith. For the opinion runs that the Commissioners for granting licences in Georgia shall license all to trade with the Indians of their province whom the Governor and Council of S. Carolina shall recommend, proper security being given, and in the meantime that he shall not oblige the Carolina traders to pay the penalty of trading within our province, notwithstanding they have not our licence. By this means our trade is become entirely subject to the pleasure of S. Carolina, which province may pour into ours such a number of traders as may entirely ruin the trade both of Georgia and Carolina tood, and absolutely disgust the Indians, who are pleased at present with our regulations of their trade and with the persons trading to them. Besides, it is using an absolute dispensing power. We could only debate this affair, not being a sufficient number to determine anything, and the debate was whether we should endeavour to get the Board of Trade's report amended before reported to his Majesty to be confirmed; or whether we should wait the signification of his Majesty's pleasure to us, and then remonstrate. In conclusion, we ordered Mr Verelts to inform himself of Mr Sharp, Clerk of the Council, whether 'tis proper for us to take cognisance of the Board of Trade's report to the Council Board before it comes down to us. I returned home to dinner at Charlton. | BL | Add MS 46920-47213 |

30 December 1738 Visited Mr F. Clerke and Mr Dawney. In the evening Mr Verelst came to acquaint me that Mr Oglethorp landed the 15 September last at St Simonds. and that he had, pursuant to the Trustees' directions, removed Mr Causton our first bailiff at Savannah, from the sole management of the stores, on account of certifying accounts for stores taken by him contrary to order, and had put the care of the stores in commission under the said Causton Mr Stephens, our secretary, and (we suppose) Mr Parker, second bailiff of Savannah. And that now there was a total stop put to all credit. This account came in a letter from Lieutenant-Colonel Cochran to a Jew in America, dated 15 October, who sent it to his correspondent in London. It gives me great satisfaction to find Mr Oglethorp has executed the Trustees' order in this matter, which some of our gentlemen feared he would not. | BL | Add MS 46920-47213 |

12 July 1738 I went to the Georgia Office in hopes to meet a Board of Common Council, but was disappointed, we being only Mr. Lapotre, in the Trustee chair, Laroch, sir William Heathcot, Mr Smith and Egmont. Mr Verelts reported that he had received the 8,000£. granted us this last session, without any deduction, at the Treasury and lodged it at the bank. A letter from Mr Oglethorp to the trustees, dated from Plymouth the 3rd inst., was read, acquainting us that he had been obliged by foul and contrary weather (which the transports could not ride out) to put into Plymouth. That he had, out of 700 persons as yet lost but one; but that he had discovered among his soldiers one. who was formerly in the Spanish service; and who now laboured to seduce several of the rest by high temptation of reward; two of which soldiers confessed the thing and accused him. That he would take him with him to Georgia, in hopes there to discover more of this affair. We ordered a copy of this letter to be made out and sent to the Secretary of State, but unanimously blamed Mr Oglethorp for not immediately setting this fellow and the two evidences on shore, and taking his examination before the Mayor of Plymouth in order to a trial in England. Mr Norris attended, and acquainted us that the Bishop of London had, according to our request, and the letter I also wrote his Lordship, put him in priest's orders (as the Sunday before he had put him into deacon's orders), and also wrote to the Treasury for the usual allowance made by his Majesty to those who go missionaries abroad, viz. 20£., which the Treasury did accordingly direct to be paid to him. That the Bishop had also granted him his license to preach, which was done by his Lordship of his own judgment without being desired by Mr Norris. He also advised him not to split upon the rock his predecessor had done, meaning Mr JL Wesley, and meaning his falling out with the magistrates and refusing the Communion to Mrs Williamson. We took it that the Bishop gave Mr Norris his license to preach in order to keep up his authority in our province, but passed this by, as of no consequence to our own if rightly considered, for should his Lordship, upon any false suggestions, recall that license, and we think fit to continue Mr Norris, that recall would be of no effect. We were desirous of a Board of Common Council that we might vote Mr Norris a present of 20£. to help him in his voyage and set him out; but nevertheless we directed Mr Verelts to pay him that sum, at a venture, not doubting, when it shall be proposed at a full Board but that it will be granted. We made out his commission and put the seal to it, and wrote some short instructions which we delivered him. After this Mr Smith, Mr Norris and I dined together at the Cyder House, and before we parted came letters from Mr Stephens with his journal to the latter end of March. He writes that the Colony's alarms were over with respect to the Spaniards; that the people went brisker on in cultivating than before, and were much quieter than formerly, though some few factioners remain; that the differences between Bradley and Causton are as high as ever, and hints that the latter behaves a little too passionately. That Mr Brown's man at Highgate was dead of the wound he gave him, and had been tried, but brought in manslaughter. That the Governor of Virginia had complained to our magistrates that one of their traders had been prevented by ours from trafficking with the Cherichee Indians, but upon perusing the Georgia Act for regulating the trade of Georgia (sent by me to him, the Governor) his Government had acquiesced thereto.
