A HISTORY OF PEAK FOREST. 83 



Concerning t^e (^^iqf^te of t^e Soreefere of 



William Hally, Peter de Shatton, William le Eyr, Robert de 

 Halstude, Rob. Balgy, Rog. Woderove and Peter le Here are 

 foresters of fee of the Bailliwick of Hopedale, whose ancestors 

 were made foresters in old time by William Peverel. 



William Hally, forester, &c., holds two bovates of land for 

 the custody of his bailiwick worth 6' per annum. His ancestors 

 held 4 bovates of land, of which two were alienated in old time 

 by them, and were assessed to the King's Treasury at 6^; and he 

 has all the above written rights enjoyed by the foresters of 

 Campana and Longflenedale, except that he has no man nor 

 servant under him, nor any to make attorn as they : and he does 

 nothing else for his office except his service and his rent. It was 

 asked whether he had appropriated anything ? and the jury said 

 he had not. 



Peter de Shatton is a forester of fee there, and holds two 

 bovates of land in Shatton, worth 6 shill. per ann., for keeping 

 his bailiwick. His ancestors held four, of which two were alienated 

 by them in old time, and they were rented as above ; and they 

 did nothing except their service and rent. And he has all rights 

 as the said William Hally. 



William le Heyr {Eyre), forester of fee there, to whose charge 

 appertains 6 bovates of land, of which 5 were alienated and let at 

 a yearly rent by his ancestors ; and he now holds one for the 

 keeping of his bailiwick, and he ought to provide a man "ad 

 mentendum " for one day in autumn at Peak Castle, and have a 

 meal there once in the day. And likewise he ought to perform 

 one ploughing for the castle in Lent ; and he has the same rights 

 as the said William (Hally). And it was asked if he fully per- 

 formed his duties at the castle ? They said that he did. Also if 

 he had appropriated anything to his office ? They said that he 

 had not.* 



* It was granted to William le Eyre (3rd Patent 19 Edw** III. m. 5), 

 Forester of fee of the King's Forest of High Peak, that he might be able to 

 appoint a deputy to perform his duty, for whom the s'^ William would be 

 responsible. Probably a descendant of the above.
