The Lay Subsidy
Assessments of 1301
The
Yorkshire Lay Subsidy 30 Edward I (1301). There is further description of this
particular 1301 lay subsidy.
There is also an explanation of the purpose of the lay
subsidies in general.
The
following is the extract from the Wapentake of Ryedale which covers the
inhabitants of Farndale in 1301:
The
Subsidy: Wapentake of Rydale - Yorkshire Lay Subsidy 30 Ed. I (1301).
Originally published by Yorkshire Archeological
Society, [s.l.], 1897. 'The Subsidy: Wapentake of
Rydale', in Yorkshire Lay Subsidy 30 Ed. I (1301), ed. William Brown ([s.l.], 1897), pp. 46-56. See also British History online.
The Assessment of
Farndale in 1301
Farndale.
Grant of subsidy of a 15th of all males to Edward I at the Parliament of
Lincoln in the Spring of 1300-01. This was mainly for the Great and Forest
Charters. All temporal goods taxed. 39 people in Farndale paid.
The lowest amount paid by a Farndale farmer was 3d
and the highest 7s 9d by Simon the Miller of Farndale (FAR00021).
By comparison at that time a cart horse and a cow each would cost
5s; a sheep 12d; a bullock 2s; a bed 4s; a pound of wool 3s and a poor robe
about 4s.
The lay subsidy assessments of 1301 afforded a brief glimpse of the settlement pattern, listing
numerous contributors bearing the names of the farms which is still to be found
at Farndale such as ‘Wakelevedy’ (Wake Lady Green), ‘Westgille’
(West Gill), Monkegate (Monket
House) and ‘Elleshaye (Eller House) and which are
scattered all around the dale. Further confirmation of this pattern is provided
by surveys of 1570 and 1610, both of which give the names of many more extent
farms and allow us to identify others from field names.
