| BROUGH 3794 5146.
Borough 1196 (BF, p. 176). 1336 Subsidy £60. Previously known as Brough
under Stainmoor and Market Brough. Roman fort. The medieval market may
have developed at Church Brough, when K Wil II built a castle there in
1092. By the late twelfth century, a new settlement is evident half a mile
away, where a borough was established and a market and fair granted.
Although it is often difficult to distinguish between the two settlements,
it appears that the new developed at the expense of the old (Guide,
ii, p. 461; A.H. Smith, The Place-Names of Westmorland (London,
1967), ii, pp. 63–5; Beresford, p. 503). Market town c.1600

| M | (Charter)
Thurs; mercatum, gr 22 Sept 1214, by K John to William
de Lanc’. To be held at the manor of Barton (RCh,
p. 201). 1214, Nova Oblata: William de Lancastr’
owed a sore sparrowhawk for having a market and fair (see
below) in his vill of Barton, Yorkshire and for a royal
charter (PR, 16 John, p. 94). The inclusion of this
entry under Yorkshire in the pipe roll appears to be an error.
Order to the sh of Westmorland to cause him to have it, 17 Oct
1215 (RLC, i, p. 173). In 1224, William de Lanc’
stated that he held a Thurs market at his manor of Barton,
Westmorland, by charter of K John. He alleged that the men of
the county were impeded from going to his market by Robert de
Vieuxpont, earl of Westmorland (CRR, xi, no. 2732). In
1292, John de Lanc’ claimed the right to hold a market at
Pooley Bridge, a member of the manor of Barton, through the
1214 charter granted to William de Lanc’, but his claim
was refused as he could not show that he was related to
William. The market was stated to be worth nothing per annum
(QW, p. 792). |

All Saints (1 Nov); feria gr 22 Sept 1214, by K John to

Lancastr’ owed a sore sparrowhawk for having a fair and
market (see above) in his vill of Barton, Yorkshire and for a
royal charter (PR, 16 John, p. 94). The inclusion of
this entry under Yorkshire in the pipe roll appears to be an
error. On 17 Oct 1215, the sh of Westmorland was ordered to
make him have it. ‘Afterwards’ the king conceded to
William a fair for two days (RLC, p. i, 173). In 1224,
William de Lanc’ stated that he held a fair on vf All
Saints at his manor of Barton, Westmorland, by charter of K
John. He alleged that the men of the county were impeded from
going to his fair by Robert de Vieuxpont, earl of Westmorland
(CRR, xi, no. 2732). In 1292, John de Lanc’
claimed the right to hold a fair at Pooley Bridge, a member of

to be worth nothing per annum (QW, p.
