86 THE OWNERS OF SHALLCROSS. 



His sun and successor, 



Robert DE SCHALCROSSE (VII.), of Schalcrosse, was 

 a considerable landowner, apparently content without buying or 

 selling. An interesting reference to certain dues and tenures 

 appropriate to this representative on some adjoining lands, 

 appears, however, in the following deed, which seems too late 

 for his great uncle, though rather early for this Robert : — 



[38 Edw. III., A.D. 1363.] 

 No. 20. — Know all men, that I, Maurice, the son of Adam de Clogh, 

 have given, etc., to John, the son of Roger de Ashton, all the lands 

 and tenements together with one place called the ffalle, and another 

 place called the Rondeokker, which formerly belonged to Richard 

 de Clogh, and his heirs, etc., Paying in rent therefore annually to 

 Robert de Schallecrosse, his heirs and assigns, six silver pence, etc. 

 In witness whereof, etc. Given at Horewich in the year of the Lord, 

 1363- 



Robert de Shalcrosse apparently married Margery, daughter of 

 Richard, son of Margery de Longstone {purple, an eagle disp. 

 with two heads, or), by Joan, daughter of Nicholas de Ingwardby. 

 The Longstones were of Little Longstone, in Hope, in the 

 twelfth century ; they had a charter of free warren* ; they built 

 here their old Manor House. Living probably from about 1340 

 till the usurpation of Bolingbroke, this representative, dying 

 under 50, left a son, 



John Schalcrosse (vhl), de schaicrosse, bom about 



1363. In 1384 he appears to have sued Robert Derby and 

 Isabella, his wife, for 5 marks of rent in Little Longeston. 

 Between 13 Hen. IV. and 10 Hen. VI., this John, or his son 

 and successor, held an ancient farm in Fernilee,+ and was still 

 in possession of rents from the lands last recited : — 

 [9 Hen. v., A.D. 1420.] 



No. 21. — Know all men, etc., that I, John Ashton, have given and 

 granted and by this charter have confirmed to my son Roger a certain 

 piece of land with the appurtenances called Horwych, and a piece of 

 land called Rondeokker, lying below the Township of Wormhull, to be 

 held by the aforesaid Roger my son and his heirs or assigns, without
