EXTENT of the manor of Pockeling[ton] made by Thomas son of Bartholomew, Thomas de Fyenes, Robert Puntif, Richard Marshal (marescall'), Richard Godard, Richard de Herlethorpe,
Roger son of William of Meltenby, Ralph son of Mariota of Fangefosse, Nicholas of Saint James, William [son of] Thomas of Brunneby, Thomas de Hundegate of the same, and Thomas Young (juvenem) of Pockelington.
The capital messuage with the enclosure (cum toto clause) is worth by the year, 2s. There are twenty-four bovates of land in demesne; a bovate with meadow worth half a marc (6s. 8d.), and without meadow, 5s. Sum, £8.
Remigius de Pockelington holds six bovates of land, paying for each, 2s. 2d. Sum, 13s.
Sixty-six bovates of land are held by the sokemen of Pocklington, each bovate yielding by the year 20d. Sum, 110s.
The works of the said sokemen are these :—Each one ought to plough once in winter before Christmas-day, according to the plough which he has. He who has no plough ought to find one for half a carucate of land. He ought also to plough once in spring in the same manner. The ploughmen (carucatores) ought to have to eat, wheaten-bread and flesh (panem frum et carnem), and ale to drink in winter, while they have day (dum diem habent), in spring wheaten-bread and fish to eat, and ale to drink, during their day's work. Every tenant of one bovate of land ought to find one harrow (herciam) in winter and another in spring, like one who holds two bovates, except six men who hold twelve bovates, of whom every one ought to find two harrows in winter and two others in spring. The harrowers ought to have to eat, wheaten-bread and flesh or fish once a day. Every horse (caballus) shall have one sheaf (garbam) of oats in spring while the harrowers are eating, but in winter none. Also every one ought to find a man to hoe for one day, with food like the harrowers. Every tenant of one bovate ought to find a man to reap in autumn for two days, like him who holds two bovates, except six men who hold twelve bovates, each of whom ought to find two men to reap two days, who are to eat once a day, and have wheaten-bread with flesh one day, and fish the other, with pottage (potagio). Every tenant of one bovate ought to give two-pence for mowing meadow, like the tenant of two bovates, except six men holding twelve bovates, each of whom is to give four-pence. Also every one of them ought to find a man to turn the hay (ad fenum levandum) in meadows for one day, without food, except six who are each to find two men. Every bovate ought to carry one cart-load of hay and one cart-load of corn, without food.
It should be known that every ploughing is worth in winter, without food, 2d., and in spring 2d.; every harrowing without food ½d.; hoeing one day without food, ½d.; mowing without food, ½d.; turning hay in meadow without food, ½d. Every cart carrying hay or corn, is worth ½d.
Sum of the works in money, 27s. 6d.
Work of one bovate without food, 5d., and so one bovate yields with farms and services, 25d.
The aforesaid sokemen hold one culture by itself containing forty acres, called Northmor, which yields yearly half a marc. Every tenant of land owes suit of court, his relief, 16s., amercement, 5s. 4d.; and their merchete, 5s. 4d.
There are eighteen cottars, each of whom yields yearly 12d.. and ought to find one man to hoe, which is worth a halfpenny, also one man to reap in autumn two days, with food. The works of two days, without food, are worth one penny. He ought to find one man to turn hay for a day, and one man to make hay in the court, without food, worth one penny. He ought also to go with serjeants in socage to make summonses and distresses, worth a halfpenny; and to keep prisoners in fetters (et debet custodire captives in compedibus').
Sum of one cottar's work 3d., and so every cottar yields with farms and all services 15d.
Sum, 22s. 6d
Moreover there are two more cottars who ought not to go with serjeants in socage, or keep prisoners in fetters, because each does the same works as the tenant of one bovate (except suit), and yields yearly 2s., one cottar's work, without food, being worth 5d.
Sum, 2s. 10d.
There are four gresmen who hold messuages, each having four acres of land and yielding for farm . . . Each does the same works as the cottars but does not go with serjeants in socage, or keep prisoners. He has to carry his lord's writs within the East Riding (Haustriding) but not to go beyond the Great Waters. (Magnas aquas in the original—Probably the river Humber.) These four gresmen shall carry .... meadow for the lord's use when he stays there, and make the hearth before him, having food, the service of one gresman being worth by the year . . . and so he yields with farm and all services 22d.
Sum, 7s.4^d.
The said sokemen ought to grind at the Earl's mill to the sixteenth measure (ad xvj. vasculum-), from the feast of St. Peter ad Vincula (1 Aug.) to Christmas-day, and from that day to the aforesaid feast (1 Aug.) "ad vicesimum vasculum"
Moreover two acres of wood may be sold every year (at half a marc the acre) for one marc. There are three mills, worth in common years 13 marcs; toll with fairs (nundinis) of S.
