numbers of acres to be held by tenants at yearly rental to the 

 Exchequer ; also to sell wood, green or dry, by view of the 

 foresters and other officials. 



Among the various details pertinent to this forest on the 

 Patent Rolls of Edward II., the following may be mentioned. 

 John de Harbela, king's yeoman, obtained a grant, in 1312, of 

 the bailiwick in the forest of Inglewood, which Thomas de 

 Multon held, and which on account of a forfeiture he had 

 incurred, was in the king's hands. Two years later Thomas 

 de Verdon was appointed forester in the place of Harbela. In 

 1315 William de Dacra was appointed steward of this forest 

 by the Crown during pleasure. In the same year a com- 

 mission was issued to inquire into the carrying away of certain 

 of the king's falcons from the eyrie in the forest of Inglewood. 

 Henry de Panetria, at the request of Queen Isabella, was 

 granted for life, in 1316, the bailiwick of the forestership of 

 " Gaytsheles," in this forest. Grant was made, in 1317, of 

 pasture for their beasts in Inglewood Forest to the nuns of 

 Ermynthwait, in consequence of the severe loss that had been 

 inflicted on them by the king's enemies. John de Crumbwell 

 was warden of Inglewood in 1318, when acquittance was 

 granted to Robert de Tymparon, an agister within the forest, 

 for .4 IQS. ^\d. for pannage from the date of his being an 

 agister in the time of Edward I., which sum had been paid 

 into the hands of Robert de Barton, late keeper of the king's 

 victuals in the park of Carlisle. In the same year, John de 

 Rithre, king's yeoman, was appointed steward of the forest 

 during pleasure. 



The Exchequer accounts of this reign give the expenses in- 

 curred by Robert, the squire, for a summer hunt for the king 

 in Inglewood Forest, which lasted for four days. His servant 

 was paid \2d. a day, whilst an allowance of \d. a day each was 

 made for ten greyhounds and for three bercelets, or hounds 

 that hunted by scent. 



When the reign of Edward III. is reached, the record entries 

 relative to the forest of Inglewood, its records of Gaystall or 

 Gatesgill, and Penrith, and its launds of Plumpton, Hesket, 

 Braithwait, Ivetanfield, and Middlescough, etc., become so
