1290
Adam de Farndale (FAR00025), son of Simon
de Farndale (FAR00021) might have been
born in about 1290.
1320
An appeal against Adam de Farndale, in 1320 (Patent Rolls).
The Commission of
Oyer and Terminer to John de Doncastre, John de
Barton and Adam de Hoperton touching on appeal in the
County of York by Agnes, late wife of John de Maunby against
Adam de Farndale for the death of her husband on 21 Sep 1320.
In the Calendar of the Close Rolls, 22
August 1323: Pickering. To the sheriff of York. Whereas it is found by
an inquisition taken by William de Ayremynne,
Humphrey de Waleden, and John de Kylvyngton,
by the oath of the foresters, verderers, regarderss,
and other ministers at the forest of Pickering, and of other lawful men of that
county, that the following persons committed trespass of venison in the forest
after it came into the King's hands as escheat by forfeiture of Thomas, late
earl of Lancaster... that on Friday the morrow of Martinmas, in the aforesaid
year, Robert Capoun, knight, Robert son of Marmaduke
de Tweng, and eight unknown men with bows and arrows
and four greyhounds came to a place called Ellerbek, and there took a hart and two other deers (feras), and carried the venison away; and that on Thursday
before the Invention of the Holy Cross, in the aforesaid year, Robert Capoun and seventeen unknown men came with bows and arrows
and greyhounds to the place called Ellerbek against the assize of the forest
for the purpose of doing evil, but they took nothing; and that on Friday after
the Translation of Saint Thomas last, Adam son of Simon the Miller of
Farndale, Richard son of John the Miller, and three unknown men came to a
place called Petrenedle, and there took two hinds,
and when they were proclaimed by the foresters, they left one hind, which the
foresters carried to Pykeryng castle and the said
malefactors carried the other away with them;... the King orders the sheriff to
take with him John de Rithre, and to arrest all the
aforesaid men and Juliana, and to deliver them to John de Kylvynton,
keeper of Pykeryng castle, whom the king has ordered
to receive them and to keep them in prison in the castle until further orders.
At Pickering before the
Sheriff of York in 1323, on Friday after the translation of St Thomas last, Adam
son of Simon the miller of Farndale, (21), Richard the son of John the
miller three unknown men came to the place Petrenedle
and there took two hinds and when they were proclaimed by the foresters they
left one hind which the foresters carried the other way with them...(long list
of other offenders)...... The King orders the Sheriff to take with him John de Rithre and to arrest the aforesaid men and deliver them to
John de Kyltynton, Keeper of Pyckeryng Castle whom the King
ordered to receive them and to keep them in prison until further orders. Was this the
same Adam de Farndale, who would be 28 at the time which would fit? (Close Rolls 22
August 1323, 17 Edward II page 15 and 16)
There is a
separate page about poaching in
Pickering Forest.
In July 1323,
Adam, son of Simon the Miller was fined 25s 8d for taking two hinds.
1334
1334 was the year
of the Eyre Court. It was therefore time to catch up with the Farndale
misbehaviour of the preceding years. A mainpernor was
a person who gave a guarantee that a prisoner would attend court. Westgill is the area of Farndale around West Gill Beck
which flows down to the River Dove at Low Mill. The folk of Farndale had
clearly been out in significant numbers to engaging in poaching. The hearing
dealt with offences of some antiquity, the reference to the seventeenth regnal
year of Edward I indicating an offence that took place in 1288 to 1289. So
these records were catching up with many years of activity in the forest.
