Between Nicholas of Stuttvill, by Alan of Wassant his attorney, plaintiff, and Robert, Abbot of Saint Mary, York, by Walter of Gaugy, his attorney, impedient: as to common of wood and pasture in Houton, Spaunton and Farendal; as to which Nicholas complains that the Abbott does not adhere to the fine made in the King’s Court at Winchester, in the time of King John, between Nicholas of Stutevill, father of Nicholas, his heir, and the said Abbott.

Quitclaim by Nicholas to the Abbot, his successors and his church of York. The Abbot grants that, if the cattle of Nicholas and his heirs or of his men in Kirkeby, Fademor, Gillingmor and Farendale, hereafter enter upon the common of the said wood and pasture of Houton, Spaunton and Farendal, they shall have free way in and out, without ward set; provided that they do not tarry in the said pasture. The Abbott receives Nicholas and his heirs into all etc. (Case 263, File 26, No 14].

Page 21 (Bothine Wood in Farndale): The Prior admits the right of Peter to the hull of Swinesheved; with all the wood on either side the water and from Swinesheved as far as Blakehou; and from Blakehou to Ralph’s Cross, all outside the shelter of Bothine Wood, as far as Mosebech; And from Mosebech, outside the shelter of Frihop Wood as far as Troch; and from Troch, outside the shelter of the wood, as far as Yubech: so that Peter and his heirs may hold as did the Prior when the houses that the Prior held on that moor were pulled down by King's justices of the forest. Saving to the prior, his successors and church, so much common of pasture in that mooe as belongs to 7 bovates of land that the Prior holds in the Vill of Danby.

This passage is referred to in the index as Botine Wood in Farndale, 21.

‘The Abbot grants that if the cattle of Nicholas or of his heirs or of his men at Kikby, Fademor, Gillingmor or Farndale, hereafter enter upon the common of the said wood and pasture of Houton, Spaunton and Farendale, they shall have free way in and out without ward set; provided they do not tarry in the said pasture.’ 17th year of the Reign of Henry III.
