At Cayton
[320]
, near Aldfield, on
the Fountains Abbey estates, a Roger Horner, who
may have been related to William Horner of Bourthwaite,
farmed 134 to 251 cattle, stirks, and 60 to 120 sheep from 1484-1490
[321]
. This Roger Horner had kept cattle for the
Abbott at Wiseing and Newhouse in Dacre township, before
the move to Cayton
[322]
. In 1484, Roger Horner and Christopher
Bayne and Robert Brown and Walter Hodgson accounted for 560
ewes at Bridgehouse, Brimham, and Caton
[323]
. The connection is not clear but a George Horner was leased half of the grange at Cayton held by the monks at Fountains in 1538. George and his son John, and a Christopher Hebden, cook of Fountains, were given the grange at Cayton between them [326] . It
is not certain what had happened to the cook, but by 1539, in
the dissolution survey, George Horner held the whole moiety of
Cayton
[327]
. In 1538 George held one
half, New Cayton, around the present High Cayton, valued at £11
yearly and John, Thomas and William Vavasour, Esq. of Newton Hall
held the other half
[328]
. This
was a substantial estate of about 165 acres, and was situated
above Ripley in Ripon parish. The same George Horner may
have also relinquished a lease at Winksley, in Ripon
parish to a William Dowgelese in 1537
[329]
. By these acquisitions of former lands of Fountains
Abbey, these Horners were certainly able to begin to establish
themselves as substantial yeoman farmers. However, there is evidence
that this George Horner may have been wealthy before the dissolution.
In 1527, Sir Ninian Markenfeld left an annuity of 20
shillings to ‘George Horner of Caton’
[330]
. The annuity was to be paid from his lands
in Eyreholme, an estate situated on the banks of
the Tees, just below Darlington
[331]
. Ralph
Pudsey, father of Henry Pudsey, senior, of Bolton by
Bowland had been a Lancastrian supporter in the Wars of the Roses
and had tried to keep Henry VI hidden when he fled there in 1464
[343]
. He had eventually handed Henry VI over to
Edward IV and Henry was later murdered in captivity. John Horner was the brother-in-law to Steven Pudsey of Arnford who married Elizabeth Tempest of Broughton near Skipton, and also brother-in-law to John Conyers who had married Margaret Pudsey, his wife’s sister [344] . It is highly probable that John Horner would have been involved in the Pilgrimage of Grace in 1538, as were the Conyers and the Tempest families and was probably a devout Catholic. John Horner of Cayton died before his wife Mary, and she later married Richard Smyth of Cayton. It is not at present certain whether John Horner had issue from this marriage. However, Mary Horner nee Pudsey’s pursuance of the lands disputed with George Cresswell in 1553-5 may indicate that she was attempting to secure the Horner patrimony for John’s child or children [345] . Mary Pudseys aunt, Maude Pudsey had also married into the families of Nidderdale, marrying Thomas Beckwith of Clint, and later John Snawsell of Bilton [346] . In her will a Richard Horner of Birstwith owed her money for the skins of two cows, which may indicate some relationship [347] . John’s father George Horner of Cayton was probably part of the affinity of Sir Ninian Markenfield, who had left him some money in his will. If so, it is highly probable that George Horner had fought with Ninian Markenfeld at Flodden in 1513 [348] . The Markenfields of Markenfield Hall, two miles from Ripon, had long been engaged in fighting for their Kings. Sir John Markenfield, who built Markenfield Hall before 1310, was Chancellor of the Exchequer Court under Edward III from 1309-13 [349] . This John de Markenfield may have been involved in the Scottish campaigns. [350] In 1311 John Markenfeld and his son Andrew were granted free warren on their estates at Eyrholme [351] . His grandson Sir Thomas Markenfield, son of Andrew, fought in Normandy in 1375 during the Hundred Years Wars. The Horners of Aldfield and Cayton may have also traveled to Normandy with the Markenfields. Sir
Thomas Markenfield married a Miniot heiress of Carlton Miniot
and he was buried at Ripon Cathedral. His effigy, built in 1398,
at Ripon Cathedral shows a collar around his neck with the badge
of Henry Bolingbroke, Earl of Derby
[352]
. It is therefore reasonable to suppose that
these Markenfields supported Henry Bolingbroke against Richard
II. The Markenfields certainly seem to be following the same
pattern of allegiance as the greater Mowbray Lords. It is
highly probable that the Markenfields were at that time part of
the Mowbray affinity. During
the Wars of the Roses the Markenfelds changed allegiance and were
members of the Neville and Yorkist affinity, probably through
marriage ties. Thomas Markenfield became a retainer of
Richard Duke of Gloucester, later Richard III, on 11 December
1471 for a yearly annuity of 100 marks
[353]
. Thomas was a tenant of the Honour of Richmond,
which Richard, Duke of Gloucester, had gained under Edward IV
[354]
. Thomas gained greatly when Richard became
King in 1483. He was made a commissioner of the peace in Somerset
in 1483-5, and Sheriff of Yorkshire in 1484
[355]
. Thomas and other loyal retainers of Richard
III were given lands in the south of England to help Richard consolidate
his rule. Thomas was given parts of Somerset, but he did not remain
there to benefit from his new lands, unlike Christopher Ward
of Givendale who was given lands in Sussex
[356]
. It is possible that the Horners
of Mells Park in Somerset did claim descent from the Horners
of Nidderdale and Ripon and that they formed part of the Markenfield
affinity that helped to settle Somerset during the reign of Richard
III
[357]
. Thomas
Markenfield, son-in-law of Sir John Conyers, a prominent Ricardian,
was appointed the High Steward of the Archbishops Liberty of Ripon
and Steward of the Earl of Derby’s Lordships at Kirkby Malzeard.
He was also Henry VII’s first Sheriff in Yorkshire and helped
to repress a tax revolt in Northern England in 1489 for the new
Tudor King
[358]
. Although the last Mowbray had died fighting
for the Yorkist King Edward IV, the Markenfields by 1497 were
serving Thomas Stanley, Earl of Derby, stepfather to the
new Lancastrian Tudor King Henry VII
[359]
. If the Markenfields were part of the affinity
of the Mowbrays and then for political reasons changed allegiance,
this would perhaps explain the migration of Horners from Kirkby
Malzeard to the Ripon area. The Horners certainly moved into the
Ripon area by the early fourteenth century, just as
Markenfield Hall was being built. Perhaps their skills as
Horners were needed for the new mansion. Whatever the connection,
George Horner of Cayton was highly valued by Ninian Markenfield
and he was left an annuity by that Lord.
Ninian had married Ann, daughter of Sir William Gascoigne of Gowthorpe as his first wife [360] . This William Gascoigne was the nephew of Ralph Neville, Earl of Northumberland [361] . Most evidence would suggest that both Gascoigne and Markenfeld were part of the affinity of the Neville’s during the Wars of the Roses [362] . After his death in 1529, his son Thomas Markenfield succeeded aged fourteen [363] . The Horners may also have been part of that affinity. A Thomas Horne was the first husband of Margaret Neville, daughter of Richard Neville, Earl of Salisbury [364] . As Margaret was sister to Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick and cousin to the Yorkist Kings, Richard III and Edward IV, the Horners family connections were very auspicious [365] . Through Margaret Neville’s sisters, the Horners would have been connected with local Yorkshire families such as the Scropes and Stanleys [366] . However, Thomas Horne died in the 1460s, as by 1469 Margaret Horne, nee Neville, had married John Mortimer, and by 1505 was the wife of Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk [367] . A
Robert Horne is recorded as being a Kentish Captain
who led Yorkist troops at the Battle of Towton in 1461
where he died. This Robert Horne is granted lands in Kent in 1461
[368]
However, he appears to have left his widow in debt
[369]
. It
is possible that Thomas Horne may have been a relative of Robert
Horne's. Given the Neville policy
of marrying younger daughters to local gentry
and the fact that the Earl of Salisbury had gained the honour
of Middleham I think that it is safe to assume that Thomas Horne
was related to the Nidderdale and Ripon Horners
[370]
. It is also possible that these Hornes were
connected by marriage with the Elizabeth Woodville, wife of King
Edward IV
[371]
. Ninian Markenfelds son Thomas died in 1551 [372] .Ninians grandson, Thomas Markenfield, was involved in the Rebellion of the Northern Earls and was attainted in 1569 [373] . As a result the Markenfields were attainted and lost their influence in the North of England. It is possible that the Horners may also have been involved in the rebellion, and if so, would have forfeited land and perhaps lives. It
is interesting that in 1539 a Roger Horner is recorded
in Skyrack wapontake in the household of Sir William
Gascoigne the elder of Gawthorpe Hall in Harewood
[374]
. This may have been part of a long association
with Harewood as a David Horner was the executor of an
inventory of John Key of Harewood in 1469
[335]
. The Gascoignes were related by marriage to the Mowbray family and the Horners may have become part of the Gascoigne affinity through this route [376] .
In 1543, Roger Horner appears to have moved out of the
household of William Gascoigne and is recorded as living at Weerdley,
modern Weardley between Arthington and Harewood, as a free
tenant worth 40/- and paying a subsidy of 2d.
[377]
. In 1558, Roger Horner was a witness
to the will of Christopher Hird of Adel, and in 1560, he
witnessed the will of Lettice Northouse of Eccop in the parish
of Adel
[378]
. This same Roger Horner is probably the same
man mentioned in the will of William Hall of Hedrick,
Harewood in 1557
[379]
. William Hall refers to Roger Horner as his
son, ‘ I give and bequeathe to everyone of my sonne Roger Horner
children one chist.’ The residue of his estate he leaves
to Roger Horner, after debts and funeral expenses have been
paid, and Roger Horner is the executor. Roger Horner is therefore
probably the son-in-law rather than son of William Hall. His eldest
son may have been named Marmaduke Horner who was given
‘one jacket of blew and one dublett of buckskinned’ by
William Hall in his will
[380]
.
[320]
[321]
[322] In 1488 Roger Horner received 120 hoggets. Fountains Abbey Memorials pp.318-9. Fountains Abbey lease book, p. 278. [323] See Fountains Abbey lease Book, p. 278. In 1539, Newhouse became the property of William Ingleby where he had a fulling mill . Speight p. 320. Upper Nidderdale. [326] At the Dissolution, John Vavasour, Esq. of Newton Hall held half of the original grange, whilst George Homer held New Cayton around the present High Cayton. George owned 320 acres. As well as the arable lands of Gollecroft, there was much pasture ('Cayton leys', 'Thornyclose'), woods ('Falls Wood', 'Cragwood', 'Crow Wood'), as well as two fishponds of approximately 15 acres each.the Homers were of Bouthwaite Grange and Eastholme Lodge in Upper Nidderdale.

In 1504 on his death the tenancy went to Cecily Vavasour and John their son. In 1538 the tenancy went to John, William and Thomas Vavasour. Fountains abbey leasebook.
[329]
The terms of the lease
at Winksley are interesting as the rent payable to the monks
was set at twenty-six shillings a year, and repairs to the property
were maintained at the leaseholders expense. The leases were
for a period of forty years. Fountains Abbey Lease Book, p. 280. [330] See Testamenta Eboracensia Vol. 5 Surtees Society 1884, pp. 232-35. Sir Ninian Markenfeld made his will on October 1 1527 and died on 25 March 1527-8. He was the son of Sir Thomas Markenfeld of Markenfeld near Ripon and Ann daughter of Sir John Conyers of Hornby. He married twice. Firstly to Dorothy daughter of Sir William Gascoigne, and secondly to Eleanor daughter of Henry Lord Clifford by license 18 May 1526. His son Thomas was aged fourteen. [331] The Markenfields had held the Manor of Eyrholme of the honour of Richmond since 1311. [335] See Thoresby Society Volume. 23 p. 43 the inventory was dated 12 July 1469. [336] The disputes were between George Cresswell and Mary, late the wife of John Horner, over a share of North Layton Grange in North Stainley (Kyrkstanley) of the demise of George Horner father of said John. A second was between George Cresswell and the said John and Katherine his mother. These are Chancery Records dated 1553-5. PROCAT C1/1339/56-8 and C1/1339/59-61. [337] C 1/1339 George CRESWELL v. Mary late the wife of John HORNER.: Share of North Layton Grange in North Stainley (Kyrkestanley) of the demise of George Horner, father of the said John.: YORK. 1553-1555 [338] Flowers Visitation, 1564, as published by the Surtees Society. Also Ashmole MS. 834, part iii, folio 21 defines John Horner as John Horner of Cayton. Henry Pudsey was the second son of Henry Pudsey of Bolton by Bowland and Margaret Conyers, daughter of Christopher Conyers of Hornby. Henry Pudsey of Bolton died in January 1520/21 and was probably born about 1450. His second son Henry Pudsey of Arnforth was probably born a few years after his older brother Thomas Pudsey of Bolton who died in 1536. Henrys nephew was born in 1514 and died in 1542. It is therefore likely that Henry’s daughter Mary Pudsey was born about the same time in 1514. As husbands tended to be a little older than their wives in Tudor England I would estimate that John Horner of Cayton was probably born between 1500- 1514, and their marriage probably took place between 1536-40. John Horner died before Mary between 1553-5 and she married Richard Smyth of Cayton as her second husband. This must have taken place between 1555 and the date of Flowers visitation in 1564, but probably nearer 1555when Mary Pudsey would have been about thirty-three years old. [339] See below. [340] Henry Pudsay, esquire held for a term of years a grange of the Lord of Fountains Abbey called ‘Arnford Grange’ for which he paid £8 per annum. He was a tenant at will. He also held land as a Free Tenant from Fountains Abbey in Kylnsey, i.e. one messuage and 2 bovates of land and a meadow with appurtenances in Arnecliffe by knights’ service. For this he paid 6d. annually and does suit at the Lord Abbots court at Kylnsey the third week in three. He was also a Free Tenant of Fountains Abbey at Litton. He held one built on messuage and another messuage not built on and one bovate of arable and meadowland, and four acres of land by knight service and does suit at the Abbots court one week out of three. A John Pudsey, knight, lately deceased (The son of Ralph Pudsey and the great great grandfather of Mary Pudsey.) held for a term of years the Lodge of Netherhesiden and paid £6 13s 4d annually, but now only pays £4 and thus 53 s 4d annually. See p. 18, 20,22, and 23. The Fountains Abbey rental 1495/6, ed. D J H Michelmore. [341] NB in the rentals of 1495 there are no Horners which may indicate that land in Kilnsey or Arncliffe went to the Horners as part of the jointure of Mary Pudsey on their marriage. [342] See Craven Horner [343] Sir Ralph Pudsey, great-grandfather of Mary Pudsey married three times and had twenty-five children. He died in 1468 and his effigy can be seen in Bolton by Bowland church today. [344] Stephen Pudsey bought the Manor of Arnford from Sir Arthur Darcy in 1560. [345] See above. [346] A Thomas Beckwith had married Elizabeth Ingleby and died in 1478. Having no heirs he left some of the Beckwith land to his nephew William Ingleby. The Beckwiths were descended from the Malebisse family who came over with William the Conqueror. [347] Her will was dated 1545. [348] Ninian was knighted on the field of Branston Moor, Flodden on 9 September 1513. See Flowers Visitation of the North p. 129-130. [349] In 1310 John de Markenfeld set up a chantry in Pateley Bridge. A John Skaiffe witnessed the deed. See Speight, p. 438, Garden. John Markenfield was given license to fortify his manor house at Markenfield in 1309. He held the prebend of Studley at Ripon Minster from 1309-1323 and the prebendary of York Minster. He was also rector of Escrick. His arms were ‘Argent a bend sable and three bezants’. The bezants were images of Byzantine coins and the arms may have been an allusion to the career of Sir John as a cleric in the exchequer and assessor of taxes in the city of London in 1314.

By 1450, the Markenfields of Markenfield and Eyrholme held more than four manors in the North Riding of Yorkshire. They held half a knights fee at Eyrholme from the honour of Richmond for a yearly payment of three shillings and four pence a year. See Pollard, p. 89, 97. [352] Thomas’s son Thomas was buried in Ripon after 1394. This Thomas’s son John made his will on 18 December 1448. His son John was the grandfather of Ninian Markenfield. [353] On 20 August 1471 Richard Duke of York retained Thomas Metcalfe of Nappa for a fee of 10 marks a year. On 4 October 1471 Brian Metcalfe was retained and two day s later Robert Clifford of Skipton followed suit. Roland Pudsey, brother in law of John Conyers, also became a retainer of Richard Duke of York on 26 October 1471.

See also North-east England during the wars of the Roses: Lay Society, war and Politics 1450-1500 by AJ Pollard, Clarendon press, 1990, p. 357. [354] Incidentally Sir Richard Yorke was a Gloucester tenant for the Honour of Skipton that Edward IV granted his brother Richard on 12 June 1475. See Weiss p. 179-80 and p. 167. [355] He was appointed along with FitzHugh and Lord Scrope of Bolton. The Scropes of Bolton held 20 manors in Yorkshire and Bolton castle. See pollard p. 348, 350 and Weiss p. 62. [356] See Pollard p. 349. [357] See above, the Glastonbury Horners p.??? [358] See Pollard p. 374. [359] Stanley held Skipton from 1462-1475 when it was forfeited by the Cliffords who had fought for Henry VI. In 1475 the land was held by Richard Duke of Gloucester until 1485. See p. 43 Henry VIII and Rebellion in NE England 1485-1492, Northern History Vol 32, 996. [360] Sir Ninian was the son of Thomas Markenfield who died in 1497, and Eleanor. His will was proved on 20 June 1497. Thomas and Eleanor lie on a high tomb in Ripon Minster. Thomas Markenfeld was the son of John Markenfeld whose coat of arms was silver on bend sable three bezants. Sir Ninian had a son Thomas and three daughters Alice and Ann and Eleanor by his first wife. Alice Markenfield married Robert Mauleverer of Arncliffe, Eleanor married Robert Aske of Aughton and Ann married Christopher Conyers of Sockburn. Ninian married as his second wife, Eleanor, the sister of Henry Earl of Cumberland. After Ninian’s death Eleanor married John Constable of Burton Constable. Her stepson married firstly Margaret daughter of Lord Scrope of Bolton who died 27 March 1591. He then married Katherine daughter of Henry fifth Earl of Westmoreland. See Ripon Millennium, p. 19. See also Dugdales Visitation. In his will Ninian left provision for his son to go to Oxford for 2 years and then to spend two years at the Inns of Court in London. [361] Ninian was also friendly with the Plumptons. Sir Robert Plumpton was knighted by Richard III in 1482 and he was part of the Earl of Northumberland’s retinue. Robert Plumpton had married Agnes daughter of William Gascoigne of Gawthorpe. As his second wife he married Isabella daughter of Ralph, Lord Neville, heir to the Earl of Northumberland. Sir Robert’s will was dated 10 April 1523. See Speight, Garden, p. 240. [362] His father William Gascoigne had married Margaret Percy, daughter of the third Earl of Northumberland (Henry, 1421-1461), and sister of Henry the Fourth Earl of Northumberland (1446-1489). Margaret’s sister Elizabeth married Henry Lord Scrope and was the mother of John Lord Scrope. On 12 January 1472, Elizabeth, widow, relinquished her rights to lands in Nappey, Wensleydale to James Metcalfe the elder. A Thomas Metcalfe was the servant of Richard III, who married Elizabeth Hartlington, heiress of an old family of Clifford supporters. See Weiss, p. 63. [363] He married Margaret daughter of John Norton of Norton Conyers. They had four children, Thomas, John, Anne and Isabel. Sir Thomas died in 1550. His son Sir Thomas married Isabel daughter of William Ingleby of Ripley. In 1569 he joined in the Northern rebellion with his uncle Richard Norton. The lands were confiscated by the crown and eventually given to the Egertons, earls of Bridgewater. See Ripon Millennium, p. 19. [364] For the following see Dugdales and Flowers Visitations. [365] Ceciley Neville, aunt to Margaret Neville, had married Richard Duke of York and her sons were cousins to Margaret Neville. [366] Margaret Neville’s sister Elizabeth married Thomas Lord Scrope of Masham (d. 1493) and then Sir Henry Wentworth (d.1500). Her sister Eleanor married Thomas Stanley who became in 1485 the first Earl of Derby. [367] Margaret Neville married Charles Brandon on 7 February 1505/6 in Salisbury and died after 20 November 1506.

[375] He must have been at least sixteen to be armed in 1359 and was probably born about 1525. [376] Sir William Gascoigne, died in `1419, was a chief Justice in the reign of Henry IV. His first wife was Elizabeth, daughter and sole heiress of Sir Alexander Mowbray of Kirklington, Yorkshire. Their great-great grandson William Gascoigne, MP in 1453, married Margaret daughter and heir to Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland. William Gascoigne of Gawthorpe was the brother-in-law of Henry fourth Earl of Northumberland (1446-89). Their daughter Ann also called Dorothy, married Ninian Markenfeld. See Visitation of Yorkshire 1584/5 and 1612. William Gascoigne was in 1471 the deputy steward of Knaresborough to the Earl of Northumberland. See Grainge, Harrogate p. 76-7. [377] See Thoresby Society Vol. 9, p. 137. [378] See Thoresby Society Vol. 27 ‘Testamenta leodensia’, p. 321, 242. [379] This William Hall’s will was written on 20 March 1557, He willed to be buried at Harewood Church. [380] There are at least two other Marmaduke Horners in the sixteenth century. One was the son of Thomas Horner, armourer in York who became a freeman in 1585. The other was the son of Christopher Horner of Clapham and Pateley Bridge who was born in the 1550s. Neither of these Marmadukes can be associated with this Marmaduke but I would conclude that there will be a relationship between these three branches of Horners. [381] Stubbs, p. 308. [383] The Deeds of Vyner of Studley VR 116/4 dated 1752 record this lease of 8-9 January 1752.
