Survey of Holm Cultram 31 Elizabeth I (1589)

PRO Ref. LR3 15/5

Being a parchment scroll in two pieces, written on both sides. Transcription from scanned copy. The upper border of the front piece is badly stained and very hard to read. The word Coltram can be defined in the top left hand corner. Several lines of preamble are obscured, but on the last of these the name Barwys can be clearly seen. Below this are three columns of names as follows:

Tho Chambers / Tho Ostell / Robert Hewson
Tho Osmotherley / Robert Sawle / Tho Cleane
Tho Shary / Tho Draipe / Tho Kirkbryde
Tho Stevenson / Tho Watson / Tho Langcaike
Robert Smithe / **** Bowddell / Tho Laithes
Steph Barwis / Tho Peale / Tho Haton
Hogo Huggon / Hew Askew

Each column of names is bracketted together and followed by what appear to be the lettes Jur. Which may be an abbreviation for Juror.

There follows two paragraphs of text, 6½ lines then 3 lines. Several names can be recognised in these – Elizabeth (presumably ERI), Robert Atkinson, Peter Allenbye, and Thomas Barne all in the first paragraph.

Then a brief heading, followed by the title, to the left, Holmcoltram. To the right og this a three line heading. Under this, 6 blocks each of 4, 5 or 6 names, grouped by a bracket with the letters Jur. next to them, as follows:

Thomas Challenor / Steph Barwis / Tho Wyndor
Cuthbert Musgrave / Tho Haton / Tho Henderson
Antho Challenor / Tho Brewhouse / Jo Smithe
Cuthbre Langcaike / Tho Sibson / Tho Langcaike
Robetro Auston / William Sym / Symkin
George Porter
Thome Sloane / William Anderson / Robetro Chamber
Georgius *iwrnia / Tho / Robert Hodggson
Tho Petite / Hugo Askew / Tho B
****** Kens / Tho Mutson / Matthew Ayken
Tho Seally / Antho Penrise

Following this are two blocks of text, each with a heading in a column at the left. The first comprises four lines, which include the names William Musgrave, Symonom Skelton, John Thomas Hawle, Robert Duksman and Antho Smithe. The second comprises three paragraphs each of three lines. Within these can be read the names Thomas Purbes, Antho Watson, ****** Storkdell and Tho Musgrave.

A short line of text to the left of the page may be a date. After this a heading to the left clearly reads Holmcoltram, followed by four lines of text to the right. After this the names of tenants followed by their rent, listed in three columns, under place name headings, occupying more than half the total document, as follows (the names, latinised in the text, have been anglicised):
