NORTHWOOD.

The earliest document which bears upon Baskerville's feoffment in Northwood has been already quoted; [155] but it indicates nothing more than that Thomas de Baskerville was interested here. In 1255 Walter, Grandson of that

NORTHWOOD. 173

Thomas, was Lord of both Vills. The Stottesden Jurors spoke of Northwood nearly as follows:- "Walter de Baskerville, son of Roger de Baskerville , is Lord . Therein are six virgates of land; and he should hold them of the King in capite. He does suit to the Hundred twice a year at the Sheriff's Tourn, but not to the lesser Hundred-Courts, because his Ancestors never did . It pays 2d. for stretward and 4d. for motfee . Philip de Girros holds half a virgate of land for doing suit to the lesser Hundred-Court for the said vill". [156] Sibil Giffard's Custody of Walter de Baskerville's lands has been set forth already in another place. [157] Philip de Girros, the Under-Tenant named by the Stettesden Jurors, was himself of their number. He may possibly be identical with that Philip, son of Philip de Girros, whom we have spoken of as interested in Burwarton twenty-nine years earlier. [157]

At this time however the principal Tenant of young Walter de Baskerville at Northwood was Hugh de Baskerville: he was, I think, Son of Isolda or Hisota, Sister of that
>>> Thomas de Baskerville of Pickthorn who died in 1241 <<<. He bore therefore his Mother's name; but whereas we shall see that both his Sisters, Juliana and Helewise, occasionally bore the name of Botterell, I think that Isolda's husband and Hugh's Father was a Botterell. We have heard of this Hugh de Baskerville under various circumstances and dates, ranging from 1241 to 1292, [158] for I doubt not that the same person is indicated throughout. I now proceed to offer the documents which bear upon his tenancy in Northwood. About 1240, as I presume, "
>>> Thomas de Baskerville <<< grants to Hugh de Baskervill and Marjory his wife that virgate in Northwood which Hisota, sister of the Grantor, held". [159] The only Witness given for this Deed is Sir Roger de Baskerville, whom I presume to have been son and heir expectant of the Grantor, and, if I rightly fix the relations of the parties concerned, first Cousin of the Grantee. By another Deed, which I cannot venture to date, Juliana Botterell grants to her Brother, Hugh de Baskerville, that virgate in

Northwode which their Mother Ysolda de Baskerville held. At the Assizes of January, 1256, I find that Hugh de Baskerville was in misericordia for non-prosecution of a suit which he had against Ralph d'Arraz for erection of a stank which injured Hugh's free tenement in Northwode. [160] Also at the same Assizes Helewise de Baskerville and Juliana her Sister were in misericordia for not prosecuting a suit of mort d'ancestre against Hugh Peche concerning a virgate of land in Northwud. [161] By Patent, dated at Shrewsbury, August 24, 1267, King Henry III grants that Hugh de Baskerville shall not, for the rest of his life or against his will, be put on any Assize, Jury, etc. [162] On May 4, 1271, Helewyse Boterel sued out a writ of mort d'ancestre against Hugh de Baskerville for a messuage and virgate in Nortwode.

About this time Emma fitz Paen of Northwood grants to Hugh de Baskerville and Margery his wife part of her land in Northwood, viz. four acres in different quarters, and partly bounded by land which said Hugh had held in time of Emma's husband, William: rent 4d., payable at the Feast of St. Milberg, in February. The Grantees had given said Emma 16s. for this in her urgent necessity, and for sustenance of herself and daughter Matilda, who assented to the sale.- Witnesses: Adam de Bold, Thomas de Berdeleg, William de Pilarditon, Stephen de Bold, Thomas de Northgrave, William de Bardeleg, John de Drayton, Adam Sauvage, Hamo Gamel of Stottesden.

Hugh de Baskerville's non-attendance at the Assizes of 1292 has been mentioned under Pickthorn. His great age, and the King's Patent twenty-five years before, will equally account for his Default. And within a year he died, though Margery, for fifty years his wife, survived him; for in 21 Edw. I Margery, Widow of Hugh de Baskerville, quit-claims to her son, Baldwin, all her right in Northwode, having first, as I suppose, by another deed given "to her son John that virgate in Northwode which
>>> Thomas de Baskerville Lord of Pickthorne <<< gave her".
