<font color="red">Note:</font> Individuals named "Eustace de Whyteney" and "Roger de Whyteney" have not been found in the year 1470. Also, the "de" prefix was dropped from the surname about 1375 - one hundred years earlier than this document was supposedly dated. We believe that for these reasons (the individuals named and the form of the surname used) that this document has been dated incorrectly in this catalogue. In 1277, Eustacius de Whitney was patron of Pencombe; in 1280 Roger de Whitney was incumbant in Pencombe; about 1280, Eustace de Wytteneye, Knight, confirmed land granted by his ancestors to St. Peter's Church; in 1301 Eustace de Wyteneye entered into an agreement regarding his marriage to Elizabeth, dau of Sir Alexander de Frevylle and lady Joan de Friville. The names in this document appear to date from this time period rather than from 1470. The date in the index, 4 Nov 1470, is in the 10th year of the reign of Edward IV.  If we instead consider the 10th year of the reign of Edward I, we get 4 Nov 1282, which fits the time period in which we know individuals with these names were living. The original document would need to be checked to verify the actual date. - [[User:Tdoyle|Tim Doyle]] and [[User:Rlward|Robert L. Ward]].

Overview

The manuscript collection for the manors and parishes of Whitney and Clifford, 1333-1891, are located at the University of Wales Bangor, titled Whitney and Clifford Manuscripts (ref GB 0222 WHC)

Administrative/Biographical history:

The manor of Whitney is stated to have been obtained by one Thurstin the Fleming, a companion of the Conqueror, who married Agnes, only child of Alured de Merleburgh, and their son, Eustace, assumed the name de Whitney from this manor. His descendant, Sir Eustace de Whitney, who was M.P. for Herefordshire in 1312-1313, figures as party to the first deed in the collection, dated 1333. It was his grandson, Sir Robert de Whitney who in 1402 received a grant of the castles and lordships of Clifford and Glasbury from Henry IV. They were in consideration of the services of his father, the first Sir Robert, who was killed at the battle of Pilleth in 1401 while opposing the forces of Glyn Dwr.

Both manors, together with other lands in the parishes of Winforton and Brilley remained in the possession of the Whitney family until 1692-1693, when William Wardour, of Lincoln's Inn and Westminster, Clerk of the Pells in Chancery, acquired by purchase the four equal shares in the estate. Previously these shares had gone to the two sisters of Thomas Whitney, son of Sir Robert Whitney (d.1653), following his death without issue. They were, Lucy, wife of Robert Price of Bwlch y beudy, co. Denbigh; Susannah, widow of Henry Williams of Cabalva; Ann, widow of Thomas Rodd of Foxley; and Eleanor, widow of Dr Nathaniel Wright. William Wardour died in 1699 leaving his estate to his eldest son, Col. William Wardour, who died unmarried in 1746, and left it to his only brother, Tomkyns Wardour. In 1767, by the will of Tomkyn's widow, the Whitney and Wardour property came to her sister, Mary Bourne of St. George's Hanover Square, Middlesex. She in turn left it to Tomkyns Dew of Lincoln's Inn, the first of three of that name who feature in the collection as lords of the manor of Whitney from 1780 to the close of the nineteenth century.

Contents

A collection of 571 items relating mainly to the manors and parishes of Whitney and Clifford in northwest Herefordshire. It comprises deeds and documents concerning lands in Stow, Millhalf and Whitney, 1333-1852; records of the court leet and court baron of the manor of Whitney, including presentments, suit rolls, surveys and valuations, maps and plans, 1676-1874; deeds and documents concerning lands in Castleton and Clifford (alias Llanfair-ar-y-bryn), 1339-1855; records of the manor of Clifford, including bailiffs' accounts, presentments, rent rolls, surveys, valuations, maps and plans, 1381-1889; deeds relating to lands and properties in the parishes of Winforton and Brilley, 1594-1866; wills, letters and administration, etc., relative to members of the Whitney, Wardour and Dew families, lords of the manors of Whitney and Clifford, 1567-1828; miscellaneous accounts, vouchers etc., 1776-1846 and correspondence, including letters addressed to Tomkyns Dew (II), 1724-1889.

FOREWORD

This collection, consisting of 571 items ranging in date from 1333 to 1891, was deposited in the library in 1954 by the widow of the late Mr. E. Thornton Jones, Glyn Garth, Anglesey, who for many years practiced as a solicitor in High Street, Bangor. It comprises deeds, presentments, bailiffs accounts, surveys, correspondence and miscellaneous papers relating to the manors and parishes of Whitney and Clifford in north west Herefordshire, an area which was originally part of Gwent. There is also a small group of deeds concerning properties in Hertfordshire, Middlesex and London. How or why such a collection ever found its way to the office of a Bangor solicitor remains a complete mystery, for there is nothing in the contents to indicate even the remotest connection with North Wales and Bangor in particular.

The manor of Whitney is stated to have been obtained by one Thurstin the Fleming, a companion of the Conqueror, who married Agnes, only child of Alured de Merleburgh, and their son, Eustace, assumed the name de Whitney from this manor. His descendant, Sir Eustace de Whitney, who was M.P. for Herefordshire in 1312-3, figures as party to the first deed in the collection, dated 1333; it was his grandson, Sir Robert de Whitney (see Nos. 3, 196, 197), who in 1402 received a grant of the castles and lordships of Clifford and Glasbury from Henry IV in consideration of the services of his father, the first Sir Robert, who was killed at the battle of Pilleth in 1401 while opposing the forces of Glyn Dwr.

Both manors together with other lands in the parishes of Winforton and Brilley remained in the posession of the Whitney family until the 1692-3, when William Wardour, of Lincoln's Inn and Westminster, Clerk of the Pells in Chancery, acquired by purchase the four equal shares in the estate which after the death without issue of Thomas Whitney, only surviving son of Sir Robert Whitney (d. 1653), had come to his sisters and co-heirs: Lucy,* wife of Robert Price of Bwlch y beudy, co. Denbigh; Susannah, widow of Henry Williams of Cabalva; Ann, widow of Thomas Rodd of Foxley; and Eleanor, widow of Dr Nathaniel Wright (see Nos. 383-94). William Wardour died in 1699 leaving his estate to his eldest son, Col. William Wardour, who, dying unmarried in 1746, left it to his only brother, Tomkyns Wardour. In 1767, by the will of Tomkyns's widow, the Whitney and Wardour property came to her sister, Mary Bourne of St. George's Hanover Square, Middlesex, who in turn left it to Tomkyns Dew of Lincoln's Inn, the first of three of that name who feature in this collection as lords of the manor of Whitney from 1780 to the close of the nineteenth century.

[An useful account of the Whitney family and of the devolution of the property will be found in : Collections towards the History and Antiquities of the County of Hereford in continuation of Duncumb's History: Hundred of Huntington, by Morgan G. Watkins (Hereford, 1897), pp. 77-96]

I. MANOR AND PARISH OF WHITNEY. (i) Deeds and allied documents. 1. 1333. DEED INDENTED witnessing that Eustace de Whitney, lord of Whitney has at the request of Sir Roger de Whitney, Philip de Pencombe, William de Kekenwyche, William de Almaly and others granted to the commoners and landowners of Clifford, for a sum of money paid to him, licence to pasture their animals on land belonging to him called la brome (Norman-French) 2. [n. d. - c.1370?] 1. Robert de Wyteney, son and heir of Sir Eustace de Wyteney, Kt. 2. John de Wytneye, brother of the said Robert. GIFT of land in the Manor of Whitney which formerly belonged to John, son of Isaac. 3. 1424/5. BOND by William Stowe, as assignee of Sir Robert Whitney, lord of Whitney, to pay to the prior and convent of Wormesley a rent of 2/4 for 99 years for a tenement called le Halvechyden. Friday, on the eve of Epiphany

Note: For more about the prior and convent of Wormesley, as well as historical context, see Cambrian Archaeological Association, Archaeologia Cambrensis, The Journal of the Cambrian Archaeological Association, Vol. XV. Fifth Series (London: The Bedford Press, 1898), p. 216-221

4. 1424/5. DUPLICATE of No. 3. 5. 1470. Nov.4. WRIT OF HABERE FACIAS SEISANAM to give possession to Eustace de Whyteney and Elizabeth his wife, of the Manor of Whyteney, being cognizees in a Fine levied between them and Roger de Whyteney, parson of the Church of Pencombe.

Note: Individuals named "Eustace de Whyteney" and "Roger de Whyteney" have not been found in the year 1470. Also, the "de" prefix was dropped from the surname about 1375 - one hundred years earlier than this document was supposedly dated. We believe that for these reasons (the individuals named and the form of the surname used) that this document has been dated incorrectly in this catalogue. In 1277, Eustacius de Whitney was patron of Pencombe; in 1280 Roger de Whitney was incumbant in Pencombe; about 1280, Eustace de Wytteneye, Knight, confirmed land granted by his ancestors to St. Peter's Church; in 1301 Eustace de Wyteneye entered into an agreement regarding his marriage to Elizabeth, dau of Sir Alexander de Frevylle and lady Joan de Friville. The names in this document appear to date from this time period rather than from 1470. The date in the index, 4 Nov 1470, is in the 10th year of the reign of Edward IV. If we instead consider the 10th year of the reign of Edward I, we get 4 Nov 1282, which fits the time period in which we know individuals with these names were living. The original document would need to be checked to verify the actual date. - Tim Doyle and Robert L. Ward.
