Records of Government pertaining to England and to Yorkshire
Domesday Book
The Domesday Book was a land and wealth survey of
England. William the Conqueror ordered it to be compiled in 1085, and it was
completed in 1086. It detailed who owned each manor, the value of the land
before and after the Conquest, the number of tenants and serfs, and
agricultural assets like ploughs, mills, and livestock. The original Domesday
Book is held at The National Archives in Kew, London, where it is preserved
under controlled conditions and only shown in exceptional circumstances. However,
it is easily searchable through the Open Domesday Project.

Inquisitions Post Mortem
Inquisitions post mortem
(Latin, after death) were official medieval and early modern
investigations conducted in England to determine the lands, property, and
economic dues owed by a deceased major landowner (tenant-in-chief) to the
Crown, as well as to identify their legal heir. There is a separate page which
explains Inquisitions
Post Mortem and an index to the inquisitions post mortem on the Medieval Genealogy website.
Mapping the
Medieval Countryside is a major research project dedicated to creating a
digital edition of the medieval English inquisitions post
mortem from 1236 to 1509.

Patent Rolls
Medieval patent rolls were official administrative
registers maintained by the English Crown, starting in the reign of King John around
1201, to record file copies of letters patent. These were open, public letters
issued under the Great Seal that expressed the sovereign's will on matters of
public interest. There is a separate page which explains the Patent Rolls and an index to the Close Rolls is found in the Chancery Rolls Section on the Medieval Genealogy website.

Close Rolls
Medieval
close rolls were administrative enrolment records kept by the English royal
Chancery starting in 1204 under King John. They contained copies of letters
close (litterae clausae),
which were private, folded, and sealed royal instructions sent to specific,
individual recipients rather than open public declarations. There is a separate
page which explains the Close Rolls and
an index to the Close Rolls is found in the Chancery Rolls
Section on
the Medieval Genealogy website.

Chancery starting in the reign of King Henry III (1216–1272). They recorded fines
or agreements where a person offered money or gifts to the crown in exchange
for royal favours, lands, or legal rights.

1242 (26 Henry III): Following the death of the Earl of Lincoln, his young heir
Edmund de Lacy became a ward of the King. The Fine Rolls record the extensive
financial terms and values of the de Lacy estates committed to the Archbishop
of York. This entry includes the specific valuation of Campsall (noted as
rendering a rent plus a pair of gilded spurs) alongside neighbouring manors
like North Elmsall and Barwick. 2/8 (Kirkbymoorside) [No date]. Yorkshire. Cumberland.
Nicholas de Stuteville has made fine by 1000 m. for his ransom, to be rendered
at four terms, namely 250 m. at mid-Lent in the second year, 250 m. at
Pentecost following, 250 m. at St. Peter in Chains and 250 m. at Martinmas in
the third year, namely so that if he does not keep the first term, he has bound
his manors of Kirkbymoorside and Liddel under this form, that if he does not
keep the first term, 50 librates of land are to be
forfeited from the said manors. Similarly, if he does not keep the second term,
50 librates of land are to be forfeited from the same
manors. Similarly, if he does not keep the third term, 50 librates
of land are to be forfeited in the same manors. Similarly, if he does not keep
to the fourth term, 50 librates of land are to be
forfeited in the same manors. If the said two manors do not suffice to make
good 200 librates of land, he will supplement the
default from his other manors. Robert de Stuteville and Walter of Sowerby have mainperned for this fine in that if he does not keep a
term, all of their lands are to be forfeited
Fine Rolls of the reign of Henry III, 1246 to 1272. Campsall - 17 October 1253 (37 Henry III): A Fine
Roll entry records a payment of 10 marks to the Crown for bail involving local
figures connected to the knightly families whose estates included Campsall. 509 (Farndale) For
the abbot of St. Mary’s, York. Because the abbot of St. Mary’s, York, has
acquittance by the charters of the king’s predecessors, kings of England, as he
says, that he may not make regard in his wood of Farndale, the king has placed
that regard in respite until the quindene of
Michaelmas in the thirty-fourth year. Order to G. de Langley, justice of the
forest, to place that regard in respite in the meantime, so that he may then
come before the king ready to certify him more fully concerning that
acquittance. - The Timber Rights Order (1250 / 34 Henry III):
Recorded under reference C 60/47, this Fine Roll entry dictates explicit rules
and payments regarding royal oversight of the Farndale woodland. This was part
of an ongoing dispute handled by King Henry III regarding who held the right to
harvest or guard the timber and "greenhue"
in the valley. 405 [No date]. Concerning a fine for having a liberty.
Hugh le Bigod gives the king 500 m. for having the office of forester of
Farndale to him and his heirs and for having a certain liberty, namely that
with his own dogs he may hunt hares etc. throughout all the king’s forests in
the county of Yorkshire and of the aforesaid 500 m. he has paid Arnald de Muntpesaz £100 by the king’s order, and he will render 200
m. at the Exchequer of Michaelmas in thirty-ninth year and £100 at the
Exchequer of Easter next following, and for issues of the seal for the
aforesaid charter and liberty he will render 12 m. 2s. at Pentecost next. And
those 12 m. 2s. he has paid into the king’s Wardrobe by Wibert of Kent for gold
to be bought therefrom and thus he is quit of those 12 m. 2s. 1
