STOCKTON WARD 



HURWORTH 



with other lands, by a rent of i6/., and Maud de 

 Chartenay held the remaining third by the same rent." 

 The conditions at Hurworth were probably identical, 

 but there are no means of tracing them in detail. 



Elizabeth Tailbois in 1252 obtained a grant of 

 free warren for Hepple,"'and died about 1256 holding 

 the knight's fee in Northumberland and leaving a son 

 and heir Robert, aged forty," who paid lOO;. relief 

 and had livery." Robert died about a year later, 

 leaving a son Robert, of full age," who paid the 

 same relief.^' Robert Tailbois is recorded to have 

 made certain exchanges of land in Hurworth, viz., in 

 Gesslingmir with Richard de Cabury and in Grim- 

 wathflat with Walter de Butemond. This Walter sold 

 other land to Richard de Cabury." It is probable 

 that about that time the Butemond or Butemont share 

 fell to the other partners for lack of issue, for Robert 

 Tailbois in 1 28 1 was found to have held a moiety of 

 Hepple ; his son Luke was twenty-three years of 

 age." In 1 275 the elder Robert Tailbois had pos- 

 sessed right of gallows and assize of bread and ale at 

 Hepple," while in 1293 Luke Tailbois and Richard 

 Chartenay had infangenthef, 

 gallows and assize of ale 

 there by ancient custom.^- 

 Luke Tailbois was employed 

 by Edward I as collector of 

 subsidies, justice, and other- 

 wise," acting as Sheriff of 

 Northumberland in 1303-4.'° 

 He died about I 3 1 6 holding a 

 moiety of Hepple and leaving 

 a son William, aged thirty, as 

 heir." In 1337 Sir William 

 Tailbois had licence to grant 

 certain lands to his son Henry 

 and his wife Eleanor, daughter 

 of Sir Gilbert de Boroudon," 



through whom Henry's descendants became pos- 

 sessors of Kyme, Lincoln, about 1436." 



Sir William Tailbois chivaler died in or before 

 I 366 holding a third part of the manor of Hurworth 

 by a rent of 8/. and keeping the gaol of Sadberge, 

 receiving 22;. rent for the manor of Neasham and 

 for two-thirds of the manor of Hurworth ; he also 

 had two-thirds of the advowson of the church. His 

 heir was his son Henry, thirty years of age." From 

 this it would appear that Sir WilH.im was, like his 

 ancestor Ivo in 12 12, responsible for the whole 

 service of the manor. Henry Tailbois died in 1369

holding the manor of Hurworth and 5 oxgangs 

 of land there of the bishop by the twentieth part of a 

 knight's fee and suit of court at Sadberge ; also three 

 cottages and 1 1 oxgangs of land by a rent of 8/. 6ti. 

 and keeping Sadberge gaol. His son and heir Walter 

 was eighteen years of age." This return was corrected 

 by another taken in 1373 recording that he held 

 the capital messuage, 1 6 oxgangs of land, &c., half 

 the advowson ot the church, and a third part of the 

 mill, by a rent of 9/. and suit of court and keeping 

 with his partners the gaol at Sadberge." Eleanor 

 the widow of Henry received her dower after taking 

 the oath not to marry without the king's licence." 

 Walter, the heir, having proved his age, received his 

 lands from the escheator in I 371." 



Walter Tailbois in 1386 made an exchange with 

 Robert de Ogle by which he received the second 

 moiety of Hurworth for his lands in Hepple," thus 

 putting an end to the divided lordship in both places. 

 The second moiety had descended with half of Hepple 

 in the Chartenay family. The immediate heir of 

 Richard and Maud de Chartenay was perhaps Philip 

 de Chartenay, who with Nicholas de Farendon 

 witnessed a charter touching Hepple " ; his son 

 Richard made a grant of land in Hepple to Luke 

 Tailbois in 1287," the deed being dated at Hur- 

 worth. He seems to be identical with the Sir 

 Richard Chartenay living at Hurworth in 1264" 

 whose name occurs in 1293." He had a brother 

 Robert, to whom he granted the manor of Hepple," 

 and it seems probable that the latter adopted the 

 name Hepple as a surname. In 1304 Robert de 

 Hepple had died seised of half the manor of Hepple, 

 leaving a son Robert," and in 1315 Luke Tailbois 

 and Robert de Hepple held jointly the advowson of 

 Hurworth Church." In 1331 Robert de Hepple 

 had licence to settle his moiety of Hepple on Robert 

 de Ogle and Joan his wife." A similar settlement 

 was probably made for Hurworth, since ten years 

 later it was among the lands of Robert de Ogle 

 mentioned in a grant of free warren." In 1355 

 Robert de Ogle the younger was found to have 

 held a moiety of the ' manor ' of Hurworth on Tees 

 jointly with Ellen his wife by grant of Robert de 

 Ogle the elder ; it was held of the bishop in 

 socage by a rent of 1 8/. and a sixteenth share of 

 the custody of Sadberge gaol. Robert son and 

 heir of the younger Robert, then three years of 

 age," subsequently made the exchange with Walter 

 Tailbois.
