Record of the exchange between Lady Sibyl of “Torneton” (Thornton Steward) and ‘Harscho’ of woodland in Ellerton, North Yorkshire, with other woodland ‘next to the water mill’, and this to stand for the length of her lifetime, manuscript document in Latin on parchment [England (Ellerton, North Yorkshire), late thirteenth century] Single sheet, with 7 long lines in a tiny secretarial hand, cut at top to form indenture through the word “CHIROGRAPHUM” in penwork capitals, contemporary endorsement on reverse, folds else excellent condition, green wax seal and seal tag present (circular and with inscription), 57+15 by 235mm. A fine English medieval charter. The abbreviated name ‘Harscho’ is evidently that of Harsculph, son of William de Cleseby, himself the son of Lord Harsculph

Grant of Lord ‘Harsquy’ of Cleseby of rights over woodland named “Scroges” near Ellerton, North Yorkshire, to Mahen of Wassingburn, with the right to ‘cut and carry at will’ reserving only the common of pasture for Lord Harsculph, manuscript document in Anglo-Norman French on parchment [England (Richmond, North Yorkshire), dated 10 July 1305 (‘the Saturday after the feast of the Translation of St. Thomas the Martyr’)] Single sheet, with 14 long lines in an accomplished English secretarial hand, cut at top to form indenture with remnants of capitals from ‘chirographum’ inscription, contemporary endorsement on reverse in Latin, small stains and folds, green wax seal and seal tag present (circular with inscription around a gloved hand), 132+22 by 215mm. As with the Anglo-Norman French document of 1307 sold in our rooms, 9 December 2015, lot 92, this document is of some importance as an early record of Anglo-Norman French. Following the coming of the Normans in 1066, the various French dialects of the Normans and their northern French allies were forged together to produce a distinct version of the language quite unique to England. Its profound effects on our present language and literature are often overlooked. The text here is of especial import as a record of the use of the language as far north as North Yorkshire at the turn of the fourteenth century. The ‘Harsquy’ of Cleasby here is probably Harsculph de Cleasby (see lots 71, 73 and 74 above) or his uncle, Asquyd de Cleasby (for whom see C.T. Clay, Yorkshire Deeds , IV, 2013, no. 130, p. 38).

Lease of Lord Richard le Scrope of an array of lands in Ellerton to John Underwode for twelve years, manuscript document in Latin on parchment [England (Ellerton, North Yorkshire), dated 22 May 1365] Large single sheet, with 44 long lines in an English secretarial hand, cut at top to form indenture and with remnants of capitals from ‘chirographum’ inscription, near-contemporary endorsement on reverse, folds, else in excellent condition, seal tag present (but seal wanting), 275+18 by 270mm. This is a notably lengthy and detailed Yorkshire charter (nearly a thousand words), specifying many of the numerous estates involved, the equipment and livestock that came with them, and even that 17 acres of the land had already been sown with barley, and another 46 acres with wheat. Richard le Scrope (c . 1327-1403) fought at Neville Cross in 1346, was knighted, and then fought again at Najara in 1367. In 1365, he sat in the Commons for Yorkshire, was made baron in 1371 and then royal steward to Richard II.

Conveyance (bargain and sale) for £133 6s 8d, 24 April 1544, Anthony Knyvet, knight, and his wife Avice to John Alen the younger, citizen and mercer of London, the manor of Little Kelk (Litle Kelle) with messuages, lands, tenements, leasows, meadows, pastures, woods, underwoods, commons, mills, waters, marshes, fishings, rents, reversions and services, knights’ fees, wards, marriages and reliefs in Yorkshire, granted to Sir Anthony by the Crown by letters patent dated at Hampton Court, 9 January 1541, vellum deed with two red wax seals appended, signed by me Antony Knyvett, 27 x 42cm, framed and glazed (Quantity: 1) The manor of Little Kelk lies in Foston on the Wolds, 8 miles south-west of Bridlington in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Records of the manor survive between 1323 and 1914. In 1322 the manor belonged to Bridlington Priory, which was forfeited to the Crown following the attainder of the last prior, William Wood, for participation in the Pilgrimage of Grace, for which he was executed (VCH Yorkshire 3 (1974) 199-205). An account covering 22 April 1536 – 21 April 1538 survives as TNA E 315/283/4. The transaction recorded by this bargain and sale was confirmed in Trinity Term 1544 by final concord, which describes the property as the manor, 12 messuages, 2 mills called walk mills and land in Little Kelk. The patent granting the manor to Knyvett, as Anthony Knyvett esquire, survives as East Riding Archives DDSC/32, and a copy of this document as zDDX852/7. Anthony Knyvett was a courtier, having served as a gentleman usher or waiter in the Privy Chamber from at least 1516. He served as Black Rod of Windsor Castle, 1536-1543, a JP in Kent, 1539-1542, was appointed Knight Porter of Calais on 11 April 1541, was superintending the defences of Portsmouth in 1544, and retired as Lieutenant of the Tower of London, with a pension of £100, in September 1546. His will, naming him one of the gentleman waiters of the king’s privy chamber, 21 June 1548, was proved in PCC by his widow and sole executrix Lady Avice on 6 July 1549 (TNA PROB 11/32/266). She was the daughter of Henry Mortelman of All Hallows Barking, and the widow of Nicholas Gibson, Prime Warden of the Grocers’ Company 1536-37 and a sheriff of London 1538-39, who died in 1540. She founded the Coopers’ Company school in Ratcliff Highway, and portraits of Sir Anthony and Lady Knyvett were to be seen at Coopers Hall in 1936. She died on 3 October 1554.

Group of vellum deeds and documents relating to the Red Hall estate, Leeds, 1757-1913, 14 in total (of which five 18th-century), including leases, conveyances, mortgages, wills and a printed document titled 'Red Hall Estate. Pedigree, Copy Certificates, and Declaration, by Mrs. M. A. Hebden' (Leeds: J. B. Barry, 1864), all relating to transactions involving the estate or the property of associated individuals, many on multiple membranes, all folded with usual dust-soiling and other marks commensurate with age, together with 2 unrelated vellum deeds (1669, concerning land in Redmarley D'Abitot, modern Gloucestershire; and 1812, involving John Nourse Morse of Newent, Gloucestershire, 'Lord of the Manor of Kilcott') (Quantity: 16) Provenance: Professor Cecil H. Clough (1930-2017), Reader in Medieval History, University of Liverpool, with a photocopy of a letter by him providing a detailed genealogy of the estate's owners, and an autograph letter to him concerning his purchase of the deeds in 2009. The Red Hall to which these documents relate was built at the junction of Leeds's Upper Head Row and Lands Lane in 1638, and scandalously demolished in 1967; Charles I was held prisoner there in 1646 after his surrender to parliamentary forces. The relationship with another Red Hall, on the outskirts of Leeds and now the headquarters of the Rugby Football League, is unclear.
