Bristol Town Duties. A collection of original & interesting documents, intended to explain and elucidate the above important subject

Preface

. It is notoriously evident, that, in the agitation of every im portant question which has occupied the attention of the City of Bristol during the last ten years, the Corporation and Citi zens have been divided : which, it is presumed, can only be accounted for, by the Members ofthe Common Council having been influenced, if I may use the expression, by the Council- House views ofthe subject. The object of the Writer, therefore, in laying before the Public the following pages, is to obviate, if possible, such occurrences in future, by enabling the Members of the Common Council to form a just notion of the question upon Local Taxation iu general ; and thereby, to prevent a repetition of such unpleasant differences, as have unfortunately existed, between the Corporation and their Fellow-citizens for several years past; as well as to put an end to the expenditure of large suras of money, which he has no doubt might be far more beneficially applied to public Improvements.

BRISTOL TOWN DUTIES. A COLLECTION or ORIGINAL AND INTERESTING DOCUMENTS. ORIGIN OF THE GRANT OF THE TOWN OF BRISTOL. On consulting our early Historians we find, that for the most part English Towns were originally Royal demesnes, wherein, although the Barons, Earls, and other great men were allowed to appropriate a certain description of lands and tenements for the use of their vassals, yet that the major part of the inhabi tants of towns and villages, held immediately under the King, paid all tolls, quit rents, and heriots to his Officer, and were under the government of a Reeve or Bailiff.

Whatever has been written concerning Bristol before the reign of William the Conqueror, it is authentically recorded, that in his time, it was as absolute a Royal demesne as any town in England, and it so continued during the King's life, who dying in 1087, his son William, surnamed Rufus, succeeded him, who confirmed the honor of Gloucester on Robert Fitz Haraon, son of Hamon, Lord of Corboile, in Normandy, as a reward for the many services he had rendered his late father, as will be seen in the following style in the Charters, which were granted him, viz.: — ' Sir Robert Fitz Hamon, by the Grace of God, Prince of ' Glamorgan, Earl of Corboile, Baron of Thorigny and Gran ' ville, Lord of Gloucester, Bristol, Tewksbury, and Cardiff, ' Conqueror of Wales, near kinsman of the King, and General ' of his Highness's Army in France.' Some time after this, Robert Fitz Hamon married Sybilla, by whom he had four daughters, which continues his history until the retaking ot Falaize, in Normandy, when he received a wound in the head, of which he died in March, 1107.

After this event it appears, the King was unwilling that so great an estate, as the Honor of Gloucester, should be divided amongst daughters, and that accordingly, he gave Mabile, the eldest of them, to wife to his natural son Robert, and afterwards created him first Consul and Earl of Gloucester. It was this Prince who rebuilt Bristol Castle, and gave every tenth stone towards the building of a Chapel to the Virgin Mary, in the Priory of St. James's, which he had founded. He died in October, 1147, and was buried in the Choir of St. James's Priory ; he left four sons and one daughter ; the eldest son, William, succeeded him in the honor of Gloucester, and married Hawise, daughter of the Earl of Leicester, and founded the Abbey of Keynsham, and was buried there in 1183, leaving three daughters; upon which King Richard bestowed Avisa, the youngest of them, and with her the Earldom of Gloucester, and Lordship of Tewksbury, &c. on his brother, John, Earl of Moreton, afterwards King of England.

Soon after the accession of John to the Crown, having no issue, he divorced himself from Avisa, and in 1213-} he gave her in marriage to Geoffry de Mandeville, Earl of Essex, while he retained the Town of Bristol and the Glou cester Estate in his own hands, which, upon his decease, were taken possession of by bis son, Henry 3. In 1227, the 11th of Henry 3, the Men of Bristol are record ed to have paid a fine of i?245. a-year, for the Farm of the Town of Bristol, for the term of eight years: during the existence of which, the following curious circumstance is recorded, viz — that in the year 1230, the Bailiff's were served with the King's mandate, directing them to allow to his rela tion, Eleanor, out of the rent of the Farm of the Town, one robe of scarlet and a garment of pale silk, &c. In the next century, the Farm ofthe Town was demised suc cessively to different persons, viz. — 26th Henry 3, for twenty years, to his men of Bristol ; 18th Edward 2, to Hugh Ie De spencer, at a rent of i?210. per annum; 4th Edward 3, at a rent of £ 240. per annum ; 7th Edward 3, for ten years, at £150. per annum ; 45th and 47th Edwards, to Walter de Derby ; 1st Richard 2, to John Woodrow, for two years ; and in the 18th year of the same King it was demised for twelve years, at JlOO. per annum.

After which, Henry 4, on his marriage with Johanna, in June, in the 4th year of his reign, settled upon her, amongst other things, the J'lOO. payable for the Farm, and .£20. for the rent of the Flesh Shambles, which the following documents will explain. Amongst the Records ofthe Court of Chancery, preserved in the Tower of London, to wit, on the Patentltoll for the 4th year of the reign of King Henry IV, part 2, membrane 1. is contained thus : — The King, to all to whom, &c. greeting. Know ye, that, whereas, on account of the very great love and sincere affection which we have and bear towards the person of our dear consort, Johanna, Queen of England, of our special grace, lately we have granted to our same consort, ten thousand marks, to be received annually at our Exchequer, for the whole of her life, at the Teims of Easter and Saint Michael, by equal portions, or until the time that we shall have provided for our said consort out of lands, tenements, rents, or other possessions, to the value aforesaid per annum, to hold for the term of her life, in the name of dower, or dowry, or otherwise.

Of our especial grace we have granted to our same consort, certain castles, manors, lands, tenements, customs, farms, towns, and other places, and possessions to a certain value, in part satisfaction and abatement of the ten thousand marks aforesaid, to hold in part of her dower, or dowry aforesaid, as in our letters patent thereof made more fully, is contained. We, because that we have been informed, that our letters aforesaid, as to the grant of the castles, manors, lands, tenements, and other places and possessions aforesaid, for that by the common law of our kingdom of England, and by the rolls, memoranda, records, and evidences remaining in our Exchequer, being of little worth and of none effect, they were not able in the same Exchequer to make allowance, and a great part of the same they have not granted to our same consort.

Of our special grace, at the request of our said consort, and because that she hath restored unto our Chancery, to be cancelled, our said letters, as to the castles, manors, and other places, matters, and possessions aforesaid, we have granted to our said consort, fifty pounds, seventeen shillings and six-pence per annum of the farm of the town of Ipswich ; the hundreds of Bosmere and Claydon, in the county of Suffolk, after the value of perannum;the customsof whatsoever goods* and merchandises brought into our kingdom of England, and taken out from the same kingdom, (wool, leather, and wool fells only excepted) to us due, or in any way to us and our heirs hereafter belonging or appertaining in the port of the town of Great Yarmouth : and in all ports and places from thence unto Blakeney,+ and from that place on one part, and unto Tilbury on the other part, to have, collect, and receive, by herself and her deputies, to the value of two hundred pounds per annum, which lately were in the hands of George Felbryg, Knight; the Castle of Bristol, with all those lands and tenements, and the flesh-shambles which belonged to Anne, late Queen of England, in the town of Bristol, after the value of £20. per annum ; the Farm of .£100. per annnm ofthe town of Bristol, with the houses, shops, cottages, stalls, tofts, gardens, mills, pools, tyne ofthe Castle, rents, landgable tolls, pleas of courts, fairs, markets, and all * Whenever there was a duty on exports, it was as here clearly defined. t In the hundred of Holt, in Norfolk. other jurisdictions, customs, and appurtenants of the town aforesaid, and suburbs of the same, which the Mayor and Com monalty of the same town were bound to render annually to us and our heirs for the same town, which town Lord Richard, the 2nd after the Conquest, late King of England, on the 18th day of February, in the 18th year of his reign, committed or granted, by his letters patent, to the aforesaid Mayor and Com monalty, to have and to hold, to them and their successors, from the Feast of Saint Michael, then last past, unto the end of twelve years, then next following, and fully to be completed ; rendering, therefore, annually to the aforesaid late King, one hundred pounds, at the Terms of Easter and Saint Michael, by equal portions, and the reversion of the same town, when it should happen, and with all the shops, cottages, stalls, tofts, gardens, mills, pools, tyne of the castle, rents, landgable tolls, pleas of courts, fairs, and markets, and all other jurisdictions, customs aud appurtenants of the town aforesaid, and suburbs of the same, with the appurtenants after the aforesaid term.

Among the Records in the Lord Treasurer's Remembrancer's Office, in the Exchequer, in the 13th year ofthe reign of King Henry 6th, Roll 6th, there is as follows: — Whereas, Lord Henry the 4th, late King of England, by his letters patent, here enrolled in the Exchequer of records, dated the 4th day of June, in the 4th year of his reign, amongst other things, in his letters patent contained, granted to Joan, Queen of England, his consort, during her life, the castle and town of Bristol, with divers tenements, the flesh-shambles, in the same town, which were extended per annum at one hundred and twenty pounds, to have and to hold, to his same consort, in part of her dower, or dowry, at tbe value aforesaid. And after wards the same late King, by a certain other his Charter here enrolled in the Exchequer of record, dated the26th day of June, in the said 4th year, amongst other things, in the same Charter contained, granted for himself, and his heirs, to the aforesaid Johanna, Queen of England, his consort, that she should have for the whole term of her life, in all and singular, the castles, lordships and manors, towns, lands, and tenements ; also in all other places, to her, by the same late King, assigned, in dower, or otherwise, for the term of her life.

On the death of Queen Johanna, in the beginning of July, 1437, at Havering, in Essex, the Farm of the Town of Bristol reverted to the King;and Clement Bagot, Mayor and Escheator, rendered, in consequence, at the Exchequer, an Account of the Receipts of the Town, which plainly shows what the Revenues consisted of.
