George and Alice Horner

The Horners of Woodale and Lodge

               The Reverend John Horner of Sykes also had a daughter Alice who was christened in Middlesmoor in 1703 [191] . This Alice Horner married George Horner of Woodale, son of John Horner of Wooddale and united these two Horner lines for the first time [192] .

       The Horners of Woodale had been associated with Hull since the seventeenth century and it is highly probable that the Horners of Sykes Grange became involved in this trade from association with the Horners of Woodale. However, Horners had also traded in Hull since the fifteenth century [193] . The trade routes between Nidderdale and Hull had long existed. As early as 1363, a consignment of Lead was shipped from the mines at Greenhow to Windsor through Hull, and similar shipments by land to Boroughbridge and then by barge down the River Ure were the normal pattern until the development of the railways.

      A William Horner of Middlesmoore, a John Horner of Sykes and a Francis Horner of Carlesholme were witnesses to an indenture of 1608 [270] . It is highly probable that William Horner and Francis Horner were brothers, sons of John Horner of Sykes. Francis Horner of Carlesholme may have been the eldest brother and inherited Sykes by 1623. So the union of Alice Horner, daughter of John Horner of Sykes and George Horner of Woodale may have been a consolidation of Horner patrimonies split in 1608. William Horner of Middlesmoor at at least three children, including a daughter Alice and two sons Roger and William. In 1653 both Roger and William Horner sold part of the Horner Middlesmoor estate to Simon Handley of Pott Hall [271] . Their sister Alice Horner married a Mr. Galloway [272] .There may also be a connection between this branch of Horners and Ottwell Rayner of Low Lofthouse who in 1605 bequeaths monies to Alice Galloway and William Horner of Low Lofthouse, the children of William Horner of Middlesmoore [273] . Ottwell's widow Alison Rayner may have been a sister to William Horner of Middlesmoore, or alternatively William Horner of Low Lofthouse's wife Jane may have been sister to Ottwell Rayner as he left half his household to Jane 'wife of William Horner' [274] . Whatever the relationship, it was a close one as William Horner of Low Lofthouse was given 'all the rest of my chattels' and was Ottwell's executor [275] .

      A William Horner witnessed the will of John Husband of Steane yeoman in 1619, who may be the William Horner of Middlesmoor above [194] . John Husband was buried in Middlesmoor chapel. This may be the same William Horner querant who litigated against John Yorke, knight regarding a messuage and lands and the custody of the Forest of Netherdale in Coulton and Kyrkby Malshead [195] . However the connection is not clear.

      William Horner of Middlesmoore and Low Lofthouse's youngest son William was given the Low Lofthouse estate by his father .William of Low Lofthouse married Jane Skaife, daughter of John Skaife and they had a family of three sons and a daughter Dorothy [276] . Jane Horner, nee Skaife was left ten shillings in the will of Thomas Moorehouse of Thrope in 1634 [277] . Their daughter Dorothy married George Thomlin who died in 1659 [279] . Of William and Jane's son Roger Horner, little more is known, but their son William Horner 'of Rigton' certainly had a son William by 1659 [280 .

      William and Jane's eldest son Thomas Horner of Lofthouse predeceased them in 1659 leaving a young family of four children under twenty-one, John, Dorothy, Ann and William [281] . John Horner of Springhill, the eldest of these four grandchildren died without issue in 1669 leaving the bulk of his estate to his brother William, but confirming the annuities to his sisters Dorothy and Anne [282] . This William later married an Alice and left all his goods to his son John in his will proved in 1695 was described as of Low Lofthouse [278] . The inventory of his goods taken in 1699 list at least 4 cattle, 16 sheep and one mare, and wooden furniture of a yeoman farmer as well as a £93 mortgage on his lands [298] .

      William Horner of Middlesmoore and Low Lofthouse's eldest son Roger Horner inherited the Middlesmoor estates and he had at least two children, Thomas Horner of Middlesmoor and John Horner of Heathen Carr [283] . Roger Horner may have been the same man mentioned in the will of John Horner of Springhill in 1669 [284] . Thomas Horner of Middlesmoor was left small sums for his three children Barney, Richard and Halton by John Horner of Springhill. He may also be the same Thomas Horner of Middlesmoore left a sum in the will of Thomas Moorehouse of 1634. John Horner of Middlesmoor first bought the estates of Haden Carr and West Houses into the Horner family and gave these estates to George Horner his eldest son on his marriage.

     A George Horner was described as a yeoman in the will of  Anne Horner of Lodge in 1656 [196] . She was a spinster but mentions her brothers George, Christopher, Thomas and William in her will [197] . She also mentions a sister Alice, but does not appear to mention her father.

       Ann’s brother William Horner was described as a yeoman [202] . He may be the William Horner of Middlesmoor who had at least three sons, the youngest of which was apprenticed in the 1640s to a Matthew Topham, merchant of Hull [203] . It is not at present known who his first two sons were.

John Horner of Hull

       John Horner, his third son, was bound to Matthew Topham for £300, which was a substantial sum in 1640s indicating that his father William Horner of Middlesmoor, yeoman had quite a fortune [204] . The yearly income of a knight in 1630s was specified at £20 a year, and many men had to buy distraint of knighthood or be imprisoned in this decade. Both Matthew Tophan and John Horner appear to have been sympathetic to the Parliamentarian cause, and when Sir John Hotham turned coat to the Royalists in 1642 Matthew Topham was turned out of Hull and made his way to York. John Horner accompanied his master to York but when it was taken by Royalist forces he was constrained to defend the city.

       After the fall of York John Horner fled abroad to Holland and did not return until 8 November 1645. He went to London where he took the National Covenant on 9 December 1645 supporting parliament and he petitioned parliament for a pardon for his actions during the Civil Wars. He pleaded that he was a common soldier not worth above £200 a year. He appears to have been pardoned without being fined. It may have helped his cause that a Robert Horner, merchant was alderman of York during the Civil Wars, and who took part in securing York for parliament after the wars ended in 1644-5 [205] .

       Matthew Topham also had sought refuge overseas. His petition dated 29 November 1645 came from Rotterdam where the river was so frozen that he could not return to England himself to take the oath. This may have been the case, but if he was related to the Tophans of Agglethorpe then his loyalty may have been in question. Francis Tophan fought for the King and his brother Henry had died at the battle of Marston Moor in 1644. Matthew Tophan listed the damage he had suffered during the wars and pointed out that he had in fact supplied money to raise cavalry for Parliament [206] . He appears to have been pardoned and seven years later was given a lease on a sequestered estate at Woodall near Askrigg.

       By 1652, John Horner was trading on his own account and most usually exporting pigs of lead and cloth to ports as varied as Dunkirk, Elsinore, Gothenburg and Gdansk where Matthew’s brother Christopher Tophan had lived since the 1630s [207] . He seems to have been very successful from 1652-3, but appears to have traded little after 1653. It may be that he found the expense of trading on his own and preferred to trade with Matthew Tophan who continued trading until 1656 in Hull [208] . A John Horne who may or may not be connected is arrested in 1663 for refusing to pay piscage on several voyages [209] . John Horner appears to have become a Freeman of York in 1653 and is described as a merchant [210] . He did not originate from York, but his family may have had York connections. It is not certain where this John Horner later settled, but his uncle Thomas Horner (brother to Anne of Lodge) also traded as a merchant in Hull. On his death in 1662, Letters of administration describing Thomas Horner as a merchant were granted to his grandson Thomas Brabbiner [211] . Thomas Horner of Middlesmoors will was proved in the Peculiar Court of Masham in 1662.

William Horner of Middlesmoor

       It would appear that William Horner of Middlesmoor may have been the eldest brother of these Woodale Horners [212] . He was a Yeoman and was very wealthy. In 1677, a William Horner of Middlesmoor, yeoman and an Elizabeth Horner previously of Middlesmoor and now of Kilburn signed an indenture [213] . It is not at present certain whether this William was the brother or nephew of Ann of Lodge. It is possible that he was the nephew of Ann Horner of Lodge and that the Elizabeth Horner mentioned was his sister. The indenture was witnessed by a Barnard Horner and a Christopher Baynes [214] . By 1677, Christopher Baynes was resident in Kilburn, with 65 and a half acres bought for him by his brother William Bayne, son of Walter Bayne [215] . It is possible that the removal of some of the Bayne family to Kilburn also moved one branch of the Horners that were intimately connected with them [216] .

       William Horner’s younger brother Christopher Horner was a substantial Yeoman farmer by the time of his death [299] . He married Elizabeth Horner, daughter of Thomas Horner of West Houses [224] . Not only did Elizabeth gain £20 in her father's will, on his death in 1693 Christopher finally received the £60 dowry, promised on his marriage to Elizabeth [217] . Christopher also held some interests in lands in Kilnsey [225] . In his will, dated 1696, he named his children Mary, Margaret, Thomas and John [226] . Little further is known of his daughters Mary and Margaret. Of his two sons, one, John, died in 1663, the other Thomas Horner existed from 1663- 1728 [218] . Thomas Horner of Lodge died by 1729 in which year a bond of administration for his debts was signed by a Thomas T Horner of Westhouses [300] . This Thomas Horner may be the Thomas Horner of Netherdale, yeoman who gained 100 acres of land in Netherdale in 1690 [219] . Thomas Horner of Netherdale.appears to have had many estates [301] . He may have had a son George christened at Lodge in 1701 [220] . Christopher’s son, John Horner may be the John Horner, of Low Wooddale, who in 1690, signed an indenture regarding the 1609 lease of 16 September with Christopher Bayne of High Wooddale [227] . This is very interesting as it connects this branch of Woodale Horners with the Horners of Sykes Grange [228] .

 

George Horner of Woodale

       More is known of the family of George Horner of Woodale, who may have been one of the younger brothers. He was given Haden Carr and Westhouses by his father John Horner on his marriage. He is recorded in the 1665 Hearth Tax rolls as having two hearths, so he had a substantial property [221a] . His will in 1695 bequeathed certain monies to be paid annually to the poor of the parish of Middlesmoor from the rents of lands at Woodale as well as paying 20 shillings a year to the officiating minister at Middlesmoor chapel [221] . This George Horner married Isabel Braithwaite and they had at least one son, Christopher, and one daughter Mary [222] . In Middlesmoor Church there is a memorial tablet to Mary Horner, daughter of George and Isabel Horner of Woodale who died in 1686 [223] .  Isabel Horner died in 1703 and she left her peronal effects to her grand-daughter Frances.

  

John Horner of Woodale

       George's son  John Horner of Woodale married Eleanor Fawsitt in 1689, and had one daughter Mary [229a] . He married for the second time to Sarah Moon, nee Handley of Woodale [229] . Sarah Horner, nee Handley was the daughter of Simon and Mary Handley of Middlesmoor and died in 1736 [285] . She inherited property previously bought from the Horners in 1653 [229b] . Sarah was commemorated on the same memorial stone as Mary Horner, daughter of George of Woodale and it is highly probable that this was a Horner family grave. Sarah’s husband, John Horner died in 1732 and named his three sons, George, Simon and John in his will, born in 1704, 1708 and 1711 respectively [230] . These three brothers were apparently educated at a school at Gouthwaite Hall near Ramsgill. This school was kept by Eugene Aram, son of Peter Aram who was hung at York in 1759 aged 48 for the murder of a Daniel Clark of Knaresborough fifteen years earlier [231] . It is however, difficult to see how Eugene Aram, born about 1711, could have educated these Horner boys, two of whom would have been older then himself. 

       The two youngest sons, Simon and John moved to Hull and became merchants, but both died unmarried [231a] . Simon Horner was described in 1746 and 1752 on deeds as ‘Simon Horner, merchant of Hull’ [232] . He was buried in Middlesmoor in 1763 described as Mr Simon Horner of Hull [233] . John Horner also became a Merchant in Hull, but he was buried in 1768 in Middlesmoor in the same family plot as his mother Sarah Horner, nee Handley [235] .

George and Alice Horner

       The eldest son, George Horner remained at Woodale and married Alice Horner, daughter of the Reverend John Horner of Sykes [234] . It was this George Horner who was churchwarden 1768-9 and erected pews 1-4 in Middlesmoor Church in 1770 [249] . This may have been in remembrance of his wife Alice who died on 27 September 1770 aged 67. She was buried with her parents in Middlesmoor [243] . George died in 1782; at present the place of his death is unknown. George and Alice had three sons, John, George and Simon, born in 1726, 1727 and 1735 respectively [244] . These sons were probably the Horner sons educated by Eugene Aram in the 1730s and 1740s at Gouthwaite Hall near Ramsgill along with William Craven, Professor of Arabic at Cambridge University, their second cousin [245] .

       George and Alice Horner's eldest son, John Horner married Mary Bamford, nee Procter in York in 1757, and they had two daughters and three sons, John, Simon and George [245a] . In 1757, John Horner was described as 'of Hull, gentleman' when he was married in St Olaves Church, in York [183] . This John Horner was a wine merchant and in 1789 built two houses and a warehouse on Blossom Street in York [184] . One of these houses still exists today and is next to the Prudential Building. It is now the York Railwayman’s Club. The house had distinguished residents, namely the first Joseph Rowntree (1801-59), a prominent Quaker. John Horner died in 1790 and was described as ‘of Hull’ in his will of that year [238] . His daughter Mary married John Thornton [238a] . His sons John and Simon were all merchants in Hull. In the Hull directories of 1781 and 1784 both sons, John and Simon are recorded as merchants [236] .

       The Horners of Hull were certainly affluent enough to have been requested to take up the freedoms of Hull as aldermen in 1774. They refused and were forced to pay Water bailiff dues. The Horners appealed against the decision and three appeal judges upheld the right of the Hull Corporation to levy the duties [237] . In 1790, Simon Horner, of Sculcoates, a merchant lent £1,000 on mortgaged property  to a Mr John Green to help him set up in business [239] . This Simon Horner was a ‘wealthy merchant, an eccentric bachelor, and a very charitable man’ [240] . He died 1840 in Hull, at 28 High Street and ‘this branch of the family became extinct’ [241] . Simon's brother John Horner died unmarried in 1830 [241a] . Both sons were identified in a Charity Commission report of 1820 and were also named as having £25 towards the purchase of land at Staveley by the church at Middlesmoor. A further report of the Charity Commissioners after 1870 refers to evidence in John Horner’s will that he was the great grandson of George Horner of Woodale who died in 1695.

       George and Alice's second son George Horner, was Deputy Paymaster of the forces at Guadalope in the West Indies [247] . George Horner was also involved in provisioning troops in North America in 1762 and 1763 [248] . He appears to have worked in North America as an agent for a Mr Colebrook under Earl Holderness and it is possible that he was employed in a large firm of merchants. This George Horner died in Antiqua in 1763 [246] .

       Alice and George’s third son Simon Horner, had moved to Driffield by the early nineteenth century [250] . Simon was described as a merchant of Hull and seemed to make sufficient disposable capital to invest heavily in land in Hull and Middlesmoor [251] . In 1785 Simon was the beneficiary of the will of a Richard Taylor [252] . Between 1785 and 1786, Simon bought three farms of three hundred acres in North Fitling Manor [253] . In 1810 he bought the adjoining South Fitling Manor with about 95 acres [254] Simon Horner enlarged Fitling Hall in 1819, adding a grey-brick block with a three-bayed south front to the existing red-brick house [255] . By 1823, Simon Horner's estate was described as comprising the manors, or reputed manors, of North Fitling and South Fitling [256] .

       Simon son of George Horner of Wooddale used some of his wealth in his native village and he founded a school at Middlesmoor in 1803 [257] . He was the trustee of the will of James Robinson of Sculcoates in 1810 [258] . A Simon Horner lived at West House in 1823 who may be the same man [259] . He died in 1829 aged 93 and was buried at Middlesmoor. His will, dated December 1828, showed that at that time he lived at Prospect Street in Hull [260] .   In 1834 Simon is recorded as a voter in Hull, owning the Freehold warehouses and premises inhabited by Messrs. Newbald and Eyre [261] .

       Simon also had an estate at Middlesmoor in Stonebeckup [262] . Simon did have children, but none of them survived childhood, his daughter Elizabeth died at school in Fulham and there is a memorial to her erected in 1793 [286] . His son Thomas died after going to Cambridge [287] . Simon's wife Elizabeth died in 1810 [288] .

       Simon Horner left his whole estate to Horner Reynard (d. 1834) [263] . Simon’s estate was entailed to Horner Reynard the son of Simon’s sister Mary. Mary had married William Reynard of Hob Green in 1764 [289] . Simon’s nephew Horner Reynard had bought the Hothams' manor of North Fitling, in 1819 or 1820, and extended the Horner holdings in Fitling dramatically [264] . Horner Reynard also bought Northside Head, Thrope, Far Pasture and Lofthouse in Nidderdale and Horner Reynard’s son George Reynard sold the estate of 2, 612 acres, to William Harker in 1862 [265] . It would appear that Horner Reynard bought many of the lands that Horners had once owned in Bishop Thornton and Stainley with Cayton [266] . Horner Reynard also released land, or sold it [267] . He also had interests in mines [268] . He also acted as a creditor [269] . A Simeon Horner of Hull was a voter in Stonebeck Up township in 1841.

       Horner Reynard married twice and had a large family [290] . He was also a Captain in the Rifle Volunteers in 1803 and in 1812 received the Sunderlandwick lands from his uncle Simon Horner. Horner Reynard had five children by his second marriage, Edward Horner, William Simon, George, Robert and Charles. His second son Simon did not survive infancy, but his third and fourth sons were twins who lived to start a family [291] . George Reynard inherited Middlesmoor estates and sold them. He also changed his name to Corham by royal license to inherit the lands of his wife Augusta Sarah Corham [292] . Robert Reynard was a Captain in the Rifle Brigade [293] . Charles Reynard bought Nether Hall Nafferton married and had seven children, William, Robert, Emily, Mary, Susan, Isabella, Elizabeth and Leonard [294] . The eldest son Edward Reynard inherited most of the estates in Sunderlandwick and Hob Green [295] . Edward was buried in Hutton Cranswick in 1883. He married Margaret Mason in Ripon Minster in 1846. They had four sons Fred, Charles, Francis and Martin [296] . .

[192] George Horner of  Wooddale was christened on 1 October 1704 in Middlesmoor, see Lucas p. 445. Lucas asserts that these two lines of  Horners are unrelated until this marriage.

[193] In May 1461 a William Horn had ‘1 dol’ 1 pipa and 6 pecces rosyn on the ship Mare of Hull captained  by Henry Baille. On 4 May of the same year William had 4 dol’ vini on the ship the Anne of Hull captained by Robert Stenesan. On 20 September 1466 a Petrus van Horn, alien, had  4 last bitumen, 1 last cinerum, 1 C 60 lib lini, 20 virgis lewant, 2 tymbyr bever wormes and 40oillis terrenis on the ship Cumweltohous of Amsterdam. He was fined £7 for transporting these goods. In 1473 Johannes Horn had 1C Stokffyshe valued at 6 shillings and eight pence on the Gracedemi of Novocastro on 1 September, captained by Nicholas Archer. See The Customs Accounts of Hull 1453-1490, ed. Wendy R. Childs, YAS, 1986.

[194] In the will John Husband mentions his son in law Humphrey Lowson who had made an indenture with him with John Yorke in 1609 for farms in Steane in netherdale. see Yorke Mss notes, Pateley Br Museum and tenements in Steane with all the houses, pastures etcetc....for three thousand yeares from the date of the Indenture. Humphrey Lowson being dead by 1619, John Husband leaves the lands to his eldest grandchild John Lowson with monies set aside for the education of Christopher Lowson, Julian Lowson and Francis Gill his grandchildren. William Horner is a witness along with John Dobson; Christopher Spence; Francis Grange; Samuel Thackwray; and Lambert Fawcet. This may be connected with the marriage of a William Lowson of St Olavces and an Anne Horner of Ripon at Ripon in 1604. See Pavers Marriage Licenses.

She also gave 10 shillings yearly to the poor. George Horner and Alice Horner were executors and witnesses were Christopher and Thomas Horner. WYL 260 West Riding.

[202] The connection is not yet proven but this William Horner may be the  William Horner of Lofthouse in Netherdale, yeoman who was taken before the Quarter Sessions in 1642 for killing and carrying away one steer from Woodall, the property of William Bayne. This may be the father of Richard Bayne who married Elizabeth Horner.. See West Riding Sessions Records Vol.1, ed. John Lister, 1915, YAS, p. 388.

[203] The Tophams originated from Aggelthorpe in Coverdale. In 1286-7 a William of York held the lands. By 1389 Nicholas ward was the sole tenant of the manor and a Henry Ward held the manor in 1409-11. By 1563 Edward Tophan held half of the manor. In 1420 a Richard Tophan was described as of Coverham and Caldbergh and his family held lands in Carlton 1465-7.  Edward Tophan of Agglethorpe died seized of Agglethorpe, Melmerby and East Scrafton in 1591. His son Francis died in 1600 and he was succeeded by his brother Henry Tophan. Henry Tophan died in 1612 and was succeeded by his brother Edward. Edward Tophan died in 1628 and was succeeded by his son Francis Tophan. This Francis was a royalist and his brother Henry Tophan died at Marston Moor in 1644. Francis Tophan died in 1643 and was succeeded by his son and heir Edward aged 15. Edward died in 1651 and was succeeded by his brother Francis. Francis died and was succeeded by his son Lionel Tophan, Lionel was succeeded by his son Francis who died childless. Then the lands went to Dinah, daughter of Lionel who had married Thomas Frankland of Thirkelby. The Caldbergh estate went in 1584 to a cousin Geoffrey Tophan who was succeeded by his brother Lawrence. Lawrence was succeeded by his son Thomas and his son Francis gained the lordship in 1611.

[205] There is at present no relationship established between these two lines of Horners, but as they both traded with the Baltic it would seem highly likely.

[206] He said that he owned a messuage and house in Hull, and 2 thirtieths of a ship called the Spanish Merchant, Henry Appleton Master. This ship cost him £67 and he was fined £7. He also owned part of the Barque ‘Matthew of Stielwith’, Ralph Clayton master worth £15. (He was fined one pound and ten shillings for this). He also had ‘furre blocks with a presse to clothe’ and somne spruce deales at the house of Mr. William Pells worth £100. (For this he was fined 10 shillings). His brother Christopher Horner was at Dansk for fifteen years and with him they owned 814 bowls of corn. See Royalist Composition Papers.

[207] On 15 November 1652 John Horner, merchant paid a fine of six pounds and thirteen shillings and four pence for shipping 160 pigs of lead, 5 lasts of rape seed and 3 fardells of kerseys in the Fortune of Newport. On 7 January 1653 a William Thompson paid on John’s behalf the same fine for shipping 3 packs of cloth and 16 pigs of lead in the St Johns of Dunkirk. On 12 March 1653 John Horner, merchant of Hull paid his fine of the same amount for shipping 480 pigs of  great lead in the John of Dunkirk. On 31 August 1653 John Horner, merchant paid a fine for shipping 32 pigs of great lead and 8 lasts of rape seed in the Fortune of Newport. On 30 December 1653 Mr. John Horner, merchant paid fine for shipping 400 pigs of great lead and 3 chalder of coal in the St John of Dunkirk.

[208] See DB Nottage.

[209] On 24 March 1663 a warrant was issued for the arrest of John Horne Master and mariner to pay piscaage on several voyages. On 26 March a warrant was issued to distrain his goods to cover payment. He was not found in the bounds of Hull and on 28 March an anchor was seized. A Daniel Horne paid a fine for shipping goods in a Frenchman on 4 January 1662 who may be related. See The First Order Book of Hull trinity House, 1632-1663, ed. EW Brooks, 1941, YAS Record Series, Vol. CV. P. 153, 158.

[210] A John Horne, merchant, was admitted in 1653. 

[211] See Nottage.

[212] He may be the William Horner buried at Bouthwaite on  19 February 1711. Middlesmoor Parish Registers.

[213] See Lucasd p. 486. The indenture was sealed in the presence of Christopher Baynes, Richard Handley and Barnard Horner.

[214] In  1625, Christopher  Bayne was leased land in Newhouses by Sir John Yorke of Gouthwaite along with Thomas Horner of Scarr House. Grainge asserts that Christopher was the eldest son of William Bayne. He was born in 1603 and first wrote his name Baynes in 1675. Christopher married Margaret the widow of James Baynes of Ravensthorpe and they had one son and three daughters. His second wife, Elizabeth Dowson gave him a son and three daughters. The son by the second marriage, William Baynes of Kilburn was born in 1661 and married Tabitha Prickett daughter of George Prickett. Their son William was born on 19 January 1729 and was a gentleman of the privy Chamber of George II and George III. William’s son Christopher was born on 6 August 1755 and was created a baronet on 29 June 1801. See Grainge p. 148. The first Christopher Baynes died in 1695 at the ripe old age of ninety-three. His son William Baynes die 1731/2.  See Kilburn Parish registers

[215] See Lucas p. 486.

[216] Another Christopher Bayne of Woodall in Netherdale, yeoman made his will in 1629 who may be related to this branch. The will was dated 17 April 1629. See Speight, garden, p. 437 and 491. In his will he mentioned that he held his house on a 3,000 year lease which included West Close, Turner, Carleside to his son Humphrey. A John Bayne of Riggs left his land to his son Humphrey at Lofthouse, Bourthwaite and elsewhere. His will was dated 26 April 1595. See Close rolls 2 December 1592. Theses lands were bought from Sir Richard Gresham. The lands included Kirkby Malzeard and Westholme House, Bourthwaite and Lofthouse.  See Speight p. 476, Garden. This may be the same line as the Baynes of Woodall. Christopher Bayne left his son Humphrey ‘the Westclose House, the Midgehole, the little Boon, the Coe Close head, 5 cattlegates in carleside and 3 cattlegates in Turner carre.’ To his son Marmaduke h left other closes.

[238] Nottage assumes that this John Horner was the son of John Horner and Sarah Handley. However, the memorial stone reported by Grainge would seem to refute this supposition. I therefore think that this scenario is the most likely.

[245] See Speight, p. 492-3, 453. Although Speight asserts that it was the father George Horner, husband of Alice Horner who was educated here I think this is highly improbable given the age of Eugene Aram.  Speight also mentions that William Craven was educated with George Horner. William Craven was christened in Middlesmoor on 16 February 1730, the son of Richard Craven and Cicely Hebeden. This William is of the same generation as this younger George, rather than his father. This William Craven died on 22 April 1814 and was buried in Middlesmoor.  It is highly probable that William’s father Richard Craven , buried 24 April 1732, may be connected with the Richard Craven that married Mary Horner daughter of George and Isabel above.

[253] In 1785 Simon purchased from a Robert Farrah. They included the 146 acre Northfield House farm; the rest was presumably the 151-a. 'ancient estate' based on Fitling Hall.In 1786 he bought another 31 acres in Fitling. Part of the Hildyards' estate retained by them in the 17th century  may have passed to Sir Richard Lloyd (fl. 1702). His grandson, Richard Lloyd, with the children of Arthur Barnardiston, sold several houses and more than 170 a. in Fitling to Francis Farrah, probably one of the tenants, in 1713.  Farrah (d. by 1726) and his widow Frances apparently bought more land there.  The estate descended to Farrah's grandson, also Francis Farrah, who had succeeded Francis Farrah (d. 1763), probably his father.  He died in or soon after 1772, leaving his brother Robert as heir.  From: British History Online,Source: Middle division: Humbleton. A History of the County of York East Riding: Volume VII, G.H.R. Kent (Editor) (2002).

[254] In the mid 13th century Giles of Goxhill held 1½ carucate at Elstronwick and Walter of Etherdwick a small holding there.   The 6 carucates belonging to the Aumale fee at Fitling were evidently held by the Scures family. A tenant of William de Scures (fl. mid 12th century), one Sir Roger, and his wife, gave their 3-carucate holding to the Knights Hospitaller. The order was one of the two lords of Fitling in 1316,  and its manor of FITLING formed part of the preceptory of Holy Trinity, Beverley, until the suppression of the Hospitallers in the 16th century.  In 1338 the estate in Fitling included a house and more than 165 a.  The manor, which had no demesne by the 16th century, was sold by the Crown to Edward Rotherham and Edward Bates in 1614.  Thomas Edmundson was lord of the manor from 1616 to 1622, and John Rawson from 1622 to 1655. Rawson was allotted 359 a. for tithes and his commonable lands at the inclosure of Fitling in 1640. He sold Fitling manor to Thomas Chatt in 1655. John Chatt was lord in 1661, but Thomas Chatt's daughter, Frances Truslove, widow, later Frances Kemp, and her son Edward Truslove held the manor from 1662 to 1667, and Edward was then sole lord until 1686. In that year Joseph Storr bought the manor, which then extended into Burton Pidsea, Owthorne, and Tunstall,  and at other times was said to have dependent holdings in many other places in Holderness, including Humbleton, Danthorpe, Garton, and Owstwick, in Roos.  Including a chief house and c. 95 a. in Fitling held in demesne, the manor descended from Joseph Storr (d. 1728) to John Storr, recorded as lord later that year,  and then, with the Storrs' estate in Hilston, to G. L. Thompson, who sold it to Simon Horner in 1810.  The manor thereafter descended with Horner's other land in Fitling.  It was presumably the manor known also as SOUTH FITLING, to distinguish it from the nearby North Fitling manor, based on Moat House.

[263] His son, Edward Horner Reynard, had 648 a. in Fitling in the 1840s.  In 1853 he sold the manor, manors, or reputed manors of Fitling and the land to James Foord.  Foord (d. by 1859) left the manor to his nephew, the Revd. Richard Foord,  from whom trustees for the Hotham family bought the estate in 1871.  Further purchases by the trustees in Fitling added a farm of 115 a. in 1872,  another of 90 a. in 1873,  the 227-a. Fitling Grange farm in 1874,  and a 116-a. farm in 1881.  Between 1908 and 1911 the Hothams sold 1,210 a. in Fitling. In 1910 Thomas Clapison bought 302 a. in Fitling Grange and Moat House farms, and the Moore family the 210-a. Northfield House farm. Fitling Hall with 227 a. in Fitling was sold to William Thompson in 1911. Thompson (d. 1943) was succeeded by his great-nephew, Thomas Harrison, who sold Fitling Hall farm to George Butcher in 1946, and in 1999 it belonged to G. A. Butcher & Sons.  From: British History Online,Source: Middle division: Humbleton. A History of the County of York East Riding: Volume VII, G.H.R. Kent (Editor) (2002).

[264] The rest of the Scures's holding, put at 2 carucates and 7 bovates in the mid 13th century,  passed from Sir Robert de Scures, like Riston manor, to the Hildyards.  (Sir) Robert Hildyard, the tenant in the 1280s,  was succeeded by his son Robert and grandson Thomas (d. by 1322). Amand of Fitling, recorded as the other lord of Fitling in 1316, may have been the Hildyards' tenant there. Thomas Hildyard's daughter Catherine (d. by. 1385), wife of Sir Peter Nuthill, was succeeded in the estate by her son Peter (fl. c. 1405), and it later descended like Nuthill manor, in Burstwick, before evidently passing back to the Hildyards. Described as FITLING manor in the 16th century, it was held in turn by Peter Hildyard >(d. 1502), his widow Joan, Peter Hildyard (fl. 1535), Martin Hildyard (d. 1544 or 1545), and Sir Christopher Hildyard (d. 1602). The manor then passed to Sir Christopher Hildyard (d. 1634), who shortly before his death bought other land in Fitling, formerly belonging to Thornton abbey, from the Thompsons; the whole was inherited by his son Henry,  who at inclosure in 1640 was allotted 352 a.  In 1662 Henry Hildyard and his son Henry settled part of the estate, comprising four farms and 240 a., on themselves in tail; no use was then specified for the manor and the rest of the demesne, amounting to 227 a.,  possibly because that part was then exchanged for a manor of Routh with John Chatt. John Chatt sold Fitling manor to Thomas Walker the elder in 1671.  It seems to have been the same manor which Sir John Hotham, Bt. (d. 1689), left to his wife Elizabeth (d. 1697), and which descended with the baronetcy, and later also with the barony, to Beaumont Hotham, Lord Hotham. Comprising a farm of c. 220 a.,  the estate was sold by Lord Hotham in 1819 or 1820 to Horner Reynard,  and thereafter descended with Reynard's other land in Fitling.  The manor was also known as NORTH FITLING manor in the mid 19th century to distinguish it from the nearby manor of South Fitling. The Hildyards' manor house occupied a moated site in 1662,  and in 1830 the part of Horner Reynard's estate which had been bought from Lord Hotham was identified as Moat House and the 229 a. of adjoining closes. Moat House, of one storey with an attic and thought to date from the 18th century or earlier,  was demolished in the later 20th century.
