90 THE ROYAL FORESTS OF ENGLAND 



Alnwick Castle, as well as master of the game. Among his 

 privileges, Carnabie was entitled to as many salmon taken in 

 the Coquet as would serve him for keeping his house ; but he 

 had to pay 6d. for each salmon, and zd. for each "gylse" 

 or young salmon. 



A perambulation of Rothbury forest shows that the master 

 of game received 7 a year ; whilst each of the three keepers or 

 foresters received a id. a day, in addition to blownwood, and 

 firewood, together with "one stag in summer and one hind in 

 winter for the makyng of the houndes." The keepers of all the 

 Alnwick parks received ^3 6s. 8d. a year, together with two 

 horse-gates, a buck in summer and a doe in winter. 



It may here, too, be mentioned that an account of the Earl 

 of Northumberland's parks and games in this county, taken 

 early in the reign of Henry VIII., shows that there were in 

 Holn Park 879 deer ; in Cawledge (or College) Park, 586 ; in 

 Warkworth Park, 150; and in Acklington Park, 144. All of 

 these were fallow deer, but outside the parks, in the unenclosed 

 parts of Rothbury forest, were 153 red deer. In his other 

 parks in Cumberland and Yorkshire, the earl had 3,659 head 

 of fallow and red deer. Holn Park, on the west side of the 

 castle with the Alne running through it, was at this time 

 enclosed within a stone wall, said to be twenty miles in com- 

 pass ; Cawledge Park, to the south of the castle, was six miles 

 in compass. 



Queen Mary restored the barony and its estates, in 1557, to 

 Thomas Percy, reviving the earldom, and the old forest of 

 Northumberland passed again into a subject's hands. 



CUMBERLAND 



At the time of the Norman invasion, the great forest of 

 Inglewood stretched from Penrith, on the south confines of the 

 county, to Carlisle, about twenty miles to the north. It is 

 described in the Chronicle of Lanercost as having been "a 

 goodly great forest, full of woods, red deer and fallow, wild 

 swine, and all manner of wild beasts." 



Reginald Lacy obtained a grant from King John in 1203 

 for himself and Ada, his wife, daughter and co-heir of Hugh
