5189 4671. 1334 Subsidy £95. Although listed as a borough in 1086 in Beresford

be held on Fri (CChR, 1226-57, p. 253). In Jan 1241, Gilbert
of Gaunt and William of Nevill drew up a final concord concerning
William’s market at Filey, which was alleged to be damaging
Gilbert’s market at Hunmanby, Yorkshire (q.v.). Gilbert granted that
William and his heirs could hold a Fri market at Filey (J. Parker ed.,
Feet of Fines for the County of York, 1232 to 1246,
Yorkshire Archaeological Society record series, lxvii (1925) p. 102).
In the autumn of 1242, Gilbert de Gant brought a case against
William de Nevill regarding the market, alleging that William had
broken this final concord (CRR, xvii, no. 829). On 29 May
1256, K Hen III granted the burgesses of Scarborough, Yorkshire
(q.v.) the right to plead in the king’s name in his court for the
abolition of the market of Filey (CPR, 1247-58, p. 477). In
1293, Richard de Malebys claimed a market, which pertained to the
manor, with Margeria the wife of John de Heslerton and Cecilia wife
of Robert de Heselerton, of the inheritance of Ralph, his great-
grandfather (QW, p. 207). Market continued until the

Christine’s sister Devorgilla, wife of John de Balliol and in 1293 their son
K John of Scotland claimed the manor. On K John’s abdication in 1296,
the manor was forfeited to the English Crown. In 1306, K Edw I granted it

William de Vescy, who granted
to brother Thomas de Steyngreve, A of Rufford, and the ch of St
Mary, Rufford and the M the lordship of half the market. K Edw I
inspected and confirmed this charter on 9 Feb 1283 (CChR,
1257-1300, p. 265). On 12 Jun 1285, K Edw I inspected and
confirmed a charter of John de Vescy, son and heir of William de
Vescy, quitclaiming to the M of Rufford the ownership of the market
of Rufford (CChR, 1257-1300, p. 291). In 1293, the A of
Rufford was holding the market (QW, p. 206). It therefore
appears that John de Vescy owned the market, then granted half to the
abbey and finally quitclaimed the remainder. |

Prescriptive) f+1, Edmund (20 Nov); feria, recorded 2 Jan
1208, held by Eustach de Vescy (RCh, p. 174). This appears
to be a confirmation of an exisiting fair and a change or extension of
the date. 1208, Nova Oblata: Eustace de Vesci owed
100m. for having a fair at Rotherham and a port and a market
at Alnmouth, Northumberland (q.v.).
He also owed two palfreys
pro removendo termino ferie sue de Roderham sicut in carta

a charter of John de Vescy, son of William de Vescy, granting to
brother Thomas de Steyngreve, A of Rufford, and the ch of St Mary,
Rufford and the M the lordship of half the fair (CChR,

Edmund (16 Nov); gr 7 Feb 1316, by K Edw II to the A and C of

Edmund the archbishop (16 Nov) granted in 1309 superseded the
fair on Edmund the martyr (20 Nov), first recorded in 1208. It has
been assumed that the feast of the fair granted in 1316 related to
Edmund the archbishop. |
