EVIDENCES RELATING TO EAST HULL. 55 



the kind of population, and put on the appearance of a 

 Lancashire town. 



Before the middle of the seventeenth century, the drain, 

 to take the water from Summergangs Dike, had been cut 

 between Old Dripole Field and Magnusdaile, with a clough, 

 shown in Osborne's map, and this gave rise to the new 

 name of the Clough Field. The estate of the Monks has 

 been commemorated in old documents under such names 

 as Maunsdale, Mansdell, and Moundscale ; Mounsdale Drain 

 may still be traced. It is mentioned in presentments by the 

 jury of the middle Bajliwicke of Holderness in 1708, when 

 the owners and occupiers of Summergangs were amerced in 

 five pounds for default in the Clow Dike. 



Somewhere along the High Road to Stoneferry, at, or 

 near Magnusdaile, was the Outhouses. Richard Tocke, 

 tenant to Alderman Popple, was living, as the Parish 

 Register says, at the " Oute houssiss." Here was another 

 burial-place, several times mentioned in the Register. It 

 is sometimes called, rightly or wrongly, a "burning" place ; 

 some traces of it ought to be found in excavations, not far 

 beyond the Sculcoates Bridge. I think that Gyselfleth, 

 north of Magnusdaile, was the boundary of ancient Dripole. 

 At some little distance beyond the boundary the footway to 

 Sutton struck off from the High Road across the Ings, where 

 it still runs by Thistleton. 



Hull, in the Manor of Sutton. 



Beyond Magnusdaile, a belt of land close to the river 

 bank was an old enclosure, behind which were the open 

 meadows of the Ings. The way in which some, at least, 

 of this river-side land became enclosed seems to be shown 

 by two charters (Stowe, Nos. 484 and 485), in the British 

 Museum. By these, Sayer the Third granted to the Nuns 

 of Swine thirty acres of land, measured by the perch of 

 eighteen feet, between the closes formerly belonging to 

 Amandus de Watton and Simon Scott, of Hull, extending 

 from the meadows of Sutton to the river, with common of 

 pasture for their cattle after the hay and corn harvest until 

 the middle of March. The large close that measured thirty 

 acres and a half, on which the Hull Glass Works stood, 

 and which Earle's Cement Works now occupy, answers this 

 description, lying, as it does, north of Magnusdaile, part of 

 which had been the property of William de Watton. The
