‘In 1310, 20 oxen the property of
Nicholas the parker, worth 8s, 6 oxen and 3 stirks of William in the horn worth
£1 9s, a cow and a stirk of Hugh Laverock 4s 8d and 6 oxen of William Stibbing de Farndale…….’ (NRRY Vol III)
In 1310, Nicholas
de Harland of Farndale was fined because his cattle had strayed in the forest (North Riding records).
1327
Harland Moor is to the immediate south of Farndale.
The striking feature of Harland Moor is the rocky nature of its landscape.
There are a number of tumuli or stony cairns either burial mounds of the Bronze
Age 1400-1600 BC or later Iron Age., and the remains of Celtic field plots
cleared of stones for cultivation by hand or ard
(Celtic wooden plough). A farm near Gillamoor is
known to this day as the 'High Harland', and Harland Moor lies to the east of
this, somewhat to the north of Hutton-le-Hole. . Erasmus Harland was given
several interesting citations by Raymond Harland Hayes, who at one time lived
in Hutton-le-Hole: In 1282, an inquest was held at Kirbymoorside
on one Baldwin Wake, and it was recorded: "There are five tenants on the
Harlonde holding certain waste (moorland) plots
beneath Gillamoor Bank at the will of the lord,
paying 27 shillings per year and doing service to the lord; also providing a
bushel of nuts at Martinmas and a hen at Christmas".
