Summary catalogue of Dodsworth Manuscripts in Bodleian Library

4149-50. In Latin and Anglo-Norman, on paper: written by Roger Dodsworth and others. 'Monasticon Boreale, tomus primus', containing copies by Dodsworth, with sketches of seals, of deeds relating chiefly to the North and East (vol. 7) and West (vol. 8) Ridings of Yorkshire, begun October 1, 1644, in the house of Francis Nevill of Chevet, esq., from the originals at that time in St. Mary's Tower, York. This tower, where the records of the dissolved monasteries were kept, was blown up in the siege of York, when Dodsworth had just finished his work. Some of the documents were saved and taken to the archiepiscopal archives at York, where Dodsworth again saw them. For these events and the subsequent history of the surviving deeds see Drake's Eboracum (1736), p. 575, Burton's Monasticon Eboracense (1758), p. vi, and N. Denholm-Young on 'Yorkshire Monastic Archives' in B.Q.R., vol. viii, no. 87. These volumes
were much used by Tanner in compiling his Notitia, by Burton in his Monasticon Eboracense, and by Farrer (for deeds before A.D. 1200) in his Yorkshire Charters. There are alphabetical indexes of grantors on foIl. vi-viii and viii-xi, respectively; the transcripts themselves, without
logical arrangement, fall sometimes under fees (e.g. vol. 7, foIl. 227-68v, Holderness fee, fol. 269, Bigod fee), but usually the grouping is by religious houses, of which the following occur: …Watton foll. 188, 299, 302, 305-6, 308-9, 313, 315, 323, 325-6, 328-9, 353-6.. 54, II8, 146… Now MSS. Dodsworth 7-8.

THREE CATALOGUES; DESCRIBING THE CONTENTS OF…THE DODSWORTH MANUSCRIPTS IN THE BODLEIAN LIBRARY By The Rev. JOSEPH HUNTER, F.S.A. LONDON 1838. Pages 83 – 96.

Three Catalogues - Dodsworth manuscripts in Bodleian Library

The topographical and genealogical collections of Roger Dodsworth (1585-1654), consisting of notes and extracts from public records and private muniments, church monuments, wills, cartularies, and other sources, constitute the largest single body of research materials to survive from 17th-century England. Initially concentrated on Yorkshire, Dodsworth's activity eventually spread to most of England, 7 Volumes.

Volume 1 Consists of 518 leaves, containing Final Concords of lands in the County of York, from the 4th to the 51st year of King Edward III. (1331 – 1378) The name of the place at which the fine was levied and the names of the justices are omitted; of the date we have only the year of the reign; in other respects the contents of the fine are fully given, and generally in the words of the record itself. They are bound up without much regard to the order of time.

Volume 3 Consists of genealogies complied by Dodsworth from various Documents…. 10. The descendants of Picot de Percy; f. 25. 11. Bustard, Clifton, and Deyvile, with Ledes and Nevile; f. 26. 12. Ward; f. 27

Volume 7 Consists of Monastic charters etc. Dodsworth then proceeds to speak of the place of deposit of the instruments of which he has here preserved transcripts, which was a tower of the abbey of Saint Mary without the walls of the city of York, built by one of the abbots at a north angle of the wall for the purpose of being a record room for the abbey. When the monasteries were dissolved, the abbey of Saint Mary being appropriated to public purposes, and especially to the use of the Lord President of the North, this tower was used as a general depositary of the evidences of the religious houses in the north, which were laid up in it in divers chests. Its contents would have been utterly destroyed on Sunday June 16, 1644, when the tower was blown up during the siege of York, had not one Thomas Thomson, who is called by Dodsworth " homo integerrimus," with extreme hazard of his life carried away the greater part of them to the archives of the archbishop of York.
A table of contents disposed alphabetically is prefixed.

1. " Charters belonging to St. Maries of York," f. 1—31.

Most of these are of very early date, and by eminent persons. Intermixed with them are some which belong to an old foundation called the hospital of Saint Peter. There are also amongst them charters which pertain to the abbey of Bella Landa or Biland.

1. Charters belonging to the priory of Gisburn, f.40—84.

Among these are several which relate to the lands before the time when they were given to the priory, and interspersed are some which appear to have no immediate connection with this house ; as, a grant of Richard Malebisse to the hospital of St. Peter of York, f. 77 ; a grant of Will, de Staingreave to the church of Drax, f. 79 b.

1. A large collection of charters relating to the three neighbouring monasteries of Biland, Rievaulx, and Newborough, with their dependent foundations, f. 92 —154.
2. Charters of the houses of Keldholme, Yedingham, St. Mary of York, Biland, Fountains, Rievaulx, and Marton, f. 155—181.
3. Charters of the houses of Yedingham alias Little Marsh, Rievaulx, Kirkham, Whitby, Hautemprize, Bridlington, Meaux, Bristall in Holderness, Killing, hospital of St. Peter of York, Swyne, f. 182—289.
4. Charters of the houses of Wicham alias Wikham, Kirkham, Swine, Watton, Haltemprise, Bridlington, hospital of St. Peter of York, Rievaulx, f. 290—332.
5. Charters of the houses of Ellerton, Watton, Kirkham, and Wilberfoss, f. 333 ad finem.

The charters in this most valuable volume are for the most part transcribed at length, and trickings of the seals are generally given. The whole number of charters is about 800. To specify all individually in such a catalogue as this would be impracticable, especially as this is only one of many volumes made up of similar materials. Some of the most important of the charters of the northern monasteries, both in this and other volumes, are printed in the Monasticon. It may be observed generally, respecting Dodsworth’s collection of monastic charters, that there are intermixed with those which properly belong to the house others which seem to have come into possession of the monastery with lands to which they relate, and some also, which can be regarded in no other light than as having been placed in the monastery for safe custody; thus at f. 160. is a charter of Robert de Roos granting to his burgesses of Helmsley various privileges, and all liberties and customs such as the citizens of York enjoy. It is without date ; but the first witness is Walter prior of Kirkham. Two distinct histories of the ancient family of Anlaghby are transcribed in the sixth portion of the volume. There are numerous charters of Stutevile and Wake, Mauley, and Salvin, which are rather to be regarded as bearing upon the history of those families and their

Volume 1

folio 91v
Index states this is regarding Robert de Dulaghby. However feet of fines states Robert de Analby. Rootschat translation: It looks like a record of cases heard in a church court, perhaps in York. Robert de Dulaghby Lister [occupation dyer] appears only in the last paragraph. He is the plaintiff in a plea against Thomas (son of Peter [?]uttel, knight) and his wife A[...]ina, [Avincia] the defendants, relating to a messuage with appurtenances in Kingston-upon-Hull. Thomas and his wife may be acknowledging Robert’s right to the property, but the entry is incomplete and runs over to the next page, so that’s only a guess.
