EVIDENCES RELATING TO EAST HULL. 95 



property. With this was conveyed one little close near to it, 

 the two being shewn on Capt. Philips' map and on later 

 maps. The Ordnance map of 1856 shews that these were 

 detached portions of Southcoates. They had common rights 

 in that manor. In 1665, Thomas Bromfleet was a Church- 

 warden. The name of Bromfleet appears in many entries 

 in the Register, the prefix of Mr. shewing the position 

 of the family. In 1665, Mr. Thomas Watson, of Stone- 

 ferry, who got Sir Philip Constable's share in the manor 

 of Sutton, left the manorial rights to his sister's son, 

 George Bromfleet, with all the privileges of the Courts, &c. 

 Although he only got therewith a piece of ancient pasture 

 ground, he was, as Sir Philip Constable had been, "a third 

 lord in Sutton." In 1676, George Bromfleet joined with 

 John Dalton, who owned a portion of the manor of Sutton, 

 as well as the Hastings Manor, in granting to the Mayor 

 and Burgesses of Hull liberty to set down posts and stoopes 

 on Sutton Side for fastening such ships as should be drawn 

 beyond the North Bridge. His share in the manor passed, 

 by purchase, from his representatives to Charles Pool, Senior, 

 and through the family of Mason to Mr. R. C. Broadley. 

 Charles Pool acquired from the same source the tithes of 

 Drypool and Southcoates.* 



North-west of Church Street is a block of property, 

 bounded, by St. Quintin's Place, close to the old course of 

 Summergangs Dike. This was associated with a smaller 

 piece to the north of Popple's crofts. Wills of the family of 

 St. Quintin, long resident in Drypool, shew that it was in that 

 family in 1729, when it consisted of a dwelling-house and 

 garth, with two "pickels," and one free common on Summer- 

 games. Pickel here means pightle, a sheepcot or enclosure 

 in the meadows. In 1781, William St. Quintin left the 

 property to his sisters for life, and afterwards to a boy named 

 William St. Quintin. In course of time it became covered 

 with streets and houses, which are now being partially 

 cleared away. 



Hardly any of the places named in the records of old 

 times would now be recognisable by the thinly scattered 



* The lands and tithes belonging to George Bromfleet, who died in 

 1703, were inherited by his son, Henry. His heir was his uncle, Samuel 

 Bromfleet, whose coheirs were the sisters, Consolation Lyth, spinster 

 (who in 1 7 10 sold her share to Thomas Eyres), and Jane, the wife of 

 Noah Ellerthorpe. In 1717, both shares were bought by Charles Pool, 

 whose son, Charles Pool the younger, brought about the enclosure of the 

 spacious fields and commons in Southcoates and Sutton. This with 

 much of Pool's property passed to the family of Broadley.
