The Lay Subsidy
Assessments of 1301
The Yorkshire Lay Subsidy 30 Edward I
(1301). There is further description of this particular 1301
lay subsidy.
There is also an explanation
of the purpose of the lay subsidies in general.
The following is the extract from the
Wapentake of Ryedale which covers the inhabitants of Farndale in 1301:
The Subsidy: Wapentake of Rydale -
Yorkshire Lay Subsidy 30 Ed. I (1301). Originally published by Yorkshire Archeological Society, [s.l.],
1897. 'The Subsidy: Wapentake of Rydale', in Yorkshire Lay Subsidy 30 Ed. I
(1301), ed. William Brown ([s.l.], 1897), pp. 46-56.

The Assessment of
Farndale in 1301
Farndale. ‘Grant of subsidy of a 15th of
all males to Edward I at the Parliament of Lincoln in the Spring of 1300-01.
This was mainly for the Great and Forest Charters. All temporal goods taxed. 39
people in Farndale paid.
The lowest
amount paid by a Farndale farmer was 3d and the highest 7s 9d by Simon the miller of
Farndale (FAR00021).
By
comparison at that time a cart horse and a cow each would cost 5s; a sheep 12d;
a bullock 2s; a bed 4s; a pound of wool 3s and a poor robe about 4s.
The lay subsidy assessments of 1301 afforded a brief glimpse of the settlement
pattern, listing numerous contributors bearing the names of the farms which is
still to be found at Farndale such as ‘Wakelevedy’ (Wake Lady Green),
‘Westgille’ (West Gill), Monkegate (Monket House) and ‘Elleshaye
(Eller House) and which are scattered all around the dale. Further confirmation
of this pattern is provided by surveys of 1570 and 1610, both of which give the
names of many more extent farms and allow us to identify others from field
names.
