Exemplification, at the request of the prioress of Stratford, of the tenor
of the process before Henry Gernet and his fellows, commissioners de
walliis et fossatis along the coast of the water of Thames and parts
adjoining co. Essex, to this effect; Pleas before the said commissioners
at Westhamme on Wednesday the feast of St. Edmund the King,
10 Edward III. Essex to wit. By letters patent of 22 January
8 Edward III the king commanded Henry Gernet, Robert de Hagham,
Robert son of William de Rokeswell, Benedict de Ditton and Alexander
de Betoigne to survey and repair the walls, dykes &c. along the Thames, co.
Essex, and in the parts of the town of Wolwich,co.Kent, north of the Thames.
By virtue of such mandate the sheriff of Essex summoned twelve jurors
of the vicinage of Westhamme to enquire of defects in the marsh of
Westhamme, to wit John de Dakenham, Thomas le Brewere. John
Samekyn, John le Porter, Henry de Wyndefeld, John Galien the elder,
John Daunger, John de Pellarn, Gilbert le Dore, William Oygor, Henry de
Gaisham, John Bone, Richard le Blake, Simon le Wynd, John le Clerk,
of Leyton, and Geoffrey de Nottele. And upon this came the prioress of
Stratford and produced a writ of the king to the commissioners, dated
17 March 10 Edward III reciting their appointment to survey the walls
&c. as above, that on behalf of the prioress of Stratford it had been shewn
to him that, whereas one John de Couelee lately held in the marsh of
Westhamme 50 acres of land and a pasture called 'le Hope' assessed in
time past to repair the wall there, then called ' Coueleeswal' and now
'le priouressewal,' although the pasture has since been entirely submerged
by the Thames and the said land has been alienated by John to divers
tenants and the prioress only receives from some of her tenants a rent of
14 s. beyond the service due to the chief lord, out of which she is ready
to contribute proportionately to the repair of the wall, they leaving out the
said tenants and many others benefited by the wall assess her only for
its repair, to the great charge and impoverishment of her house, and
commanding them to compel all persons having lands or common of
pasture or fishery there to repair the wall, pursuant to their commission,
and not to distrain the prioress for more than her proportion. And upon
this the prioress complains that William le Masun, bailiff of the marsh of
Westhamme has grievously distrained her for 100 s. for repair of the wall
called 'Priouressewal' because, she says that she has not any land or soil in
the marsh for which she ought to repair any wall there. And hereon she
prays judgement &c. She says however that one John de Couelee in the
time of Henry III, held in it as of the fee of Muntfichet, now of Sir John de
Haudlo, 50 acres of land and the said wall, then called ' Coueleswal' but
now 'le Priouressewal' with a piece of pasture called 'le Hope' lying by
the wall without the close of the marsh, to wit between the wall and the
Thames, which land with the wall and the Hope were in times past always
and entirely assessed to repair the wall when necessary, and the said John
de Couele alienated the wall and Hope from his seisin to Robert le Ku in
fee, to repair the wall for ever, for the Hope was then sufficient for
pasture for six cows as is said. And afterwards John de Couele long before
the statute Quia emptores was passed alienated all the said land by
parcels to divers tenants in fee, to hold of him and his heirs by a certain rent
and suit of court, and afterwards he entirely alienated from him and his
heirs his lordship of the said lands with their whole rent and services to
one Simon de Passelewe, who alienated the same to Cicely de Lancastre, who
granted the whole lordship in frank almoin to the church of St. Leonard,
Stratford, and the nuns there. And so the prioress now holds the lordship
with the rent and services aforesaid. And she says that the said Robert
le Ku while he held the wall and the Hope always repaired the wall and
after his death the wall and the Hope came to Joan, his daughter and heir,
whom William de Rokesle married, and in her time the entire Hope was
submerged by an inundation of the Thames, and then William reflecting
that the burden of repairing the wall would far exceed the profit of the
rest of the holding wholly gave up the holding and would meddle no more
with the said wall, and so it lies unrepaired. She says also that she has
only received from her tenants of her lands in the said marsh of the fee
of Couele a rent of 14 s. beyond the services due to John de Haudlo, now
the chief lord of that fee, and she is ready to contribute towards the repair
according to the quantity of the said rent and prays justice herein.
And upon this come the abbot of Stratford by his bailiff, and John de
Brumpton and Thomas le Bret in their own persons and as tenants of lands
in the marsh protected by the wall and say that the prioress unjustly
prosecutes the said writ since she strives thereby to excuse herself from
the repair of the wall and charge it on the abbot and others. For they say
she and her predecessors from the time the lordship of the fee of Couele
came into their hands have used to repair the wall, and when they refused
have been compelled to do so by distraint.
And the prioress says as above and further that it is because she has many
times been so unduly distrained herein that she now makes her plaint and
seeks a remedy according to the tenour of the said writ. And the justices
wishing to be certified touching the premises caused an inquisition to be taken
by the said John de Dakenham and other jurors, who say that from time
whereof there is not memory there have been certain lordships in the town of
Westhamme, to wit the lordship of Haudlo, the lordship of Lancastre, the
lordship of Plaicz and the lordship of the prioress of Stratford, and that
anciently the lords of these agreed together that each of them should have
a certain parcel of the wall of the Thames pertaining to their lordships, that
to the lordship of the prioress was delivered a parcel of the wall now called
'Prioressewal' which she is bound to repair at her own expense, in like
manner as the other lords are bound to make and repair their parcels of
the walls, and that the defects therein can be made good for 100 s. &c.
And the prioress on hearing the verdict of the jury says that they have
not answered the matters touching which they were charged, wherefore she
prays instantly that they shall answer further.
And the jury say that their answer is sufficient.
Wherefore day is given to the parties and the jury before the justices here
on Wednesday after the Purification &c. and the sheriff is commanded &c.
Afterwards, process herein being postponed until Wednesday after the feast
of the Conception of the Virgin Mary, 11 Edward III came the prioress by
her attorney, the abbot by his bailiff, and the said John and Thomas in
person &c, And because it seems to the justices that the verdict is insufficient
for judgement to be rendered pursuant to their commission and the
king's writ aforesaid, it is adjudged that a new inquisition be taken.
Whereupon the said jurors, with Nicholas le Forester, Richard le Saltere,
William Peet, John de Byntre, William Malemeins, Miles le Saltere, John
Champion and Richard Sperlinge associated with them, say on oath that
John de Couele in the time of Henry III held in the marsh of Westhamme
43 1/2 acres of land with the wall now called 'le Prioressewall' then called
'Coueleswal,' and the Hope adjoining, which land and Hope were then charged
with the making and repair of the wall, that he alienated the land to divers
tenants (as above), that he afterwards demised the wall and Hope to one
Robert le Ku to hold with the said John and his heirs by the service of
making and maintaining the wall because the Hope was then sufficient for
pasture for ten cows yearly in the summer, and afterwards he wholly
alienated all the services due to him together with his whole fee and
lordship to one Simon de Passelewe, and by divers alienations these passed
into the hands of the prioress. They say also that Robert le Ku all the
time he held the wall and Hope bore the charge of the wall, that after his
decease the wall and Hope came into the hands of William de Rokeslee and
Joan his wife, daughter and heir of the said Robert, in whose time the
Hope was swallowed up by an inundation of the Thames, and they wholly
surrendered the wall with the little that remained of the Hope to the
prioress, then lady of the fee. They say that none of the Hope now
remains, that of the lands sometime of John de Couele, John de Brumpton
holds 13 acres, Walter le Rook holds 2 acres, John Fotinge holds 3 acres,
Walter Fausour holds 1/2 acre, Emma Bokeleres holds 1/2 acre, Roger Godhewe
hold 1 acre, Sir John de Sutton, knight, holds 3 acres, John le Masun holds
4 acres, Christina atte Helle holds 1 acre, John Rolf holds 1/2 acre,
John Sagor holds 1/2 acre, and Richard Hamond holds 3 acres of
land, as free tenants, and Robert le Fausour and Walter le Fausour hold
4 1/2 acres, the said John Foting holds 1 acre, Andrew Edwyne and his
parceners hold 1 acre, and Walter Godwyne and his parceners hold 4 acres,
as customary tenants; that the prioress holds no land in the marsh except
that she receives 14 s. of rent from her tenants there beyond the services due
to John de Haudlo, chief lord of the fee, and that the wall can be repaired
for 100s.
And upon this day is given to the parties to hear judgement at Barking on
Saturday after the feast of St. Hilary. At which day came the prioress by
her attorney, the abbot by his bailiff and John de Brumpton and Thomas le
Bret in person. And the prioress prays record and judgement on the
verdict. And the justices give judgement in accordance with the finding of
the jury that all the said holdings sometime of John de Couele in the marsh,
into whosesoever hands they are come remain charged to make, repair and
maintain the wall for ever, that the tenants of these and others who in any
way derive profit from them shall contribute to its repair whenever necessary
proportionately and that the prioress shall not be distrained or compelled to
contribute thereto beyond her due portion.
