EVIDENCES RELATING TO EAST HULL. 7 1 



after Candlemas. The South Ings meadow abutted on 

 Humber bank' and adjoined the Humber Field. 



The "Wood" adjoined the West and East Fields ; it con- 

 tained about twelve acres. There was a dike from East 

 Field gate to West Field gate "about the Wood." It was 

 probably rough pasturage, with some trees or bushes ; 

 William Hogg lived at the Woodhouse. In 1578, Katherine 

 Wetherall was fined i2d. for cutting down "burcell" in the 

 Wood. Burcell or bristle was a dead fence or the thorns or 

 brushwood used for fencing. Besides these, there were the 

 Ewelands, the Chimney land, and the Cornepasture, all lying 

 to the north-east of Southcoates. 



The Ewelands was a good-sized meadow owned by 

 different persons ; perhaps their ewes were sent there from 

 Summergangs when the lambs were turned into Sutton Ings 

 to be weaned. It adjoined Marfleet, for Sir Philip Constable's 

 tenant. Mr. Miller, held "all that parcel of meadow lying in 

 Ewland containing eight acres, bounded by Marfleet Common 

 on the east." It was near to Sutton Ings, for in 1726 Anne 

 Kirby conveyed to Peter Langrick two acres of meadow 

 there, near to Ewland Gate, which may have been the 

 Toll-bar. 



The "Chimley land" adjoined the Ewelands and the Com- 

 mon. In 1554, Stephen Hogge, of Stoneferry, left to a child 

 then expected his Chimney Land — if a son. It has been 

 suggested that lands were so called because turves for fuel 

 might be cut in them, or because a Chimin or way passed 

 through them. Christopher Bennington had to pay ten 

 shillings for neglecting the dike between his Chimley land 

 and Yowelande, and the tenants of Ewelands were fined a 

 shilling for not having scoured two cordes, or fourteen yards, 

 of the dike between them. 



In 1713, a conveyance from Beauley and Nettleton to 

 Thomas Wetwang, a Sutton yeoman, included four acres of 

 meadow in the Ings running over the "Cawsey," one end 

 extending to the Sideing, and the other to Chimney lands. 

 The Side-Ings was a small ancient enclosure by Landsyke 

 drain, south of Bellfield ; the Cawsey (or Causeway) was, I 

 suppose, the Holderness Road. Another strip of one acre 

 ran "over the Cawsey adjoining Bilton Common." In a copy 

 of "Paynes for the Middle Balywick," of about 1650, the jury, 

 which dealt with all the greater water-courses in the district, 

 ordered that "the sewer beginning at Chimney lands Nooke, 

 and that runneth betwixt the Sumergams and the Ings, and 

 runneth to the new sewer at Maunsdale, and from thence to
