EVIDENCES RELATING TO EAST HULL. 65 



drain was cut there was not always access to Sutton. In 

 1589 and in 1637 Stoneferry children had to be baptized at 

 Drypool because of the floods over the Leads Road. 



The student of Field names may find near the city boun- 

 dary some interesting items. Meadows and pasturage that 

 Isabella, Countess of Albermarle, had held under the lords 

 of Sutton, were held in 1296 by Robert de Hillyard, lately 

 her bailiff. They descended to the two daughters of Thomas 

 de Hillyard of Riston, about whose wardship and marriage 

 there is an interesting dispute recorded in the Chronicle of 

 Meaux Abbey. Katherine, who married Peter de Nuttle of 

 Burstwick, parted with her life interest, settling the reversion 

 on her son (Dods. 139. f. 45. b.), in whose family the pro- 

 perty descended. By the river, just beyond the World's 

 End farm, are two fields called High and Low Nuttles, which 

 commemorate this piece of family history. Early in the 

 fifteenth century, there was near Stoneferry a hamlet called 

 Lopholme, mentioned in the manuscript record at York 

 Minster of a great case about burials in Sutton. Out on 

 the margin of the West Carr are a couple of fields still 

 called Loppam, where marks of foundations are all that 

 remain of this deserted hamlet. Part of the property of 

 the Carthusian Monastry near Hull was here, and families 

 called Lopholme, Lopham, and Loppam, lingered long among 

 the small farmers of Stoneferry. 



In 1717 Mary Peacock conveyed to Thomas Mould a 

 Garth where a cottage formerly stood, with half a steng 

 (or rood), formerly called Guyme Coat (an enclosure for 

 sheep), abutting on Guyme Close on the west and on 

 Stoneferry West Carr on the north. Guyme Close would 

 be by the river, north of Stoneferry : the name commemorates 

 a Gime, or breach in the bank. The Moulds were a family of 

 merchants in Hull. 



The West Carr and Sutton Ings. 



The West Carr, a great sheep pasture, Sutton Ings, a 

 great meadow and the pasture of Summergangs in South- 

 coates, were all under the same lord of the manor, and were 

 occupied to some extent by the same tenants. The sheep and 

 cattle lived in winter on the meadow ground and in summer 

 on the pastures. The chronicle of Meaux Abbey is largely 

 occupied with the earl)' and persistent struggles of the 

 Monks to acquire shares in the newly reclaimed meadows
