The Middleham and Wensley Horners Scanning the parish registers for Wensley, very few Horners appear indicating that these Horners originated from elsewhere. Most Horners in Wensley appear to come from Leyburn [123] . On 11 November 1726, a Christopher Horner yeoman married Hannah Coates of Wensley [124] . Christopher Horner was christened in 1685 in Wensley Parish and would have been aged about forty when he married in 1726 [125] . He was the eldest son of John Horne of Wensley [126] . But this John Horne appears to have originated elsewhere than the parish of Wensley, as there is no trace of his birth in the parish, so he probably moved there on his marriage [127] .
The only other Horners in the parish of Wensley are records of
burial from 1538-1730, which indicates that these Wensleydale
Horners may have originated elsewhere probably from the parish
of Ripon and the Nidderdale area
[128]
. However, an Ann Horner, of Leyburn,
was buried in Wensley parish in 1701, and is described as a Quaker.
If the Horners of this area were Quakers, they will not be registered
for baptism in the parish registers. The Parish of West Witton
was independent from Wensleydale in the twelfth century, but the
burial ground had little soil and the bedrock was too near the
surface. In 1780, soil was deposited in the Churchyard of west
Witton and burials commenced there. Until 1780, all burials from
west Witton Parish took place in Wensley Churchyard. It is therefore
possible that these Horners buried in Wensley in the late sixteenth
century were parishioners of West Witton
[129]
.
The Horners seem to have been resident in the manor
of Wensleydale at Fingall, near Leyburn since 1572,
when a Radulphus Horner was recorded as a tenant of Lady Margaret
Lennox in East Marforth
[130]
. This is probably the same Ralph Horner who
is recorded as a tenant of Rookwith and East and West Mariford
in 1587
[131]
. Incidentally, this is very near to East
Witton, which lies just below Middleham, and East Marforth
may have been in East Witton Parish or Wensley Parish. The manor
of Wensleydale had been given to the Lennox family in 1544
after the dissolution of the monasteries
[132]
. The Horners seem to have been in East Witton
since the late sixteenth century as in the courts Rolls of East
Witton in 1572 a Thomas Horner accused a John Fidler
of taking goods worth 20/- and he was fined
[133]
. As High Marriforth and East Witton are close
to each other it is highly likely that these two Horners were
related.
In 1605 survey of rents, in Braithewaite,
in the parish of East Witton, an unnamed Horner
was a tenant of a Richard Ward who held a capital messuage
at Braithewaite
[134]
. This must have been a substantial property
as it was valued at £10 16s. 8d
[135]
. A John Horner, who may be the same
man, is recorded in Carleton in the parish of Coverham
in Coverdale Chase in the Lordship of Middleham. He held
his lands for the duration of three lives, but it is not
certain whether this term had started with John Horner or his
grandfather. His lands were extensive, being valued at £2 2s 3d.
[136]
. Although assessed separately he also held
a house, an outhouse with adjoining land in Carleton village,
valued at £1 10s 2d
[137]
. It is highly likely that this was the same
man as Carlton in Coverham is a few miles from Braithewaite Hall.
In Bishopdale Township, in Aysgarth parish, another
John Horner who may or may not be the same man, held a tenancy
with adjoining lands valued at £5 13s
[138]
. In 1613, John Horner
and Gawin
Spence were in dispute with Leonard Spence and
Christopher Loftus over rectories and granges that had previously
formed part of the lands of Coverham Abbey
[139]
.
These Horners in West Witton and Mariford appear to have
gained from the dissolution of Jervaulx and Coverham Abbeys. Coverham
Abbey had been granted free warren in the demesne lands of Coverham,
Caldbergh and West Scrafton in 1271. They also held one and a
half carucates of land, including a mill, in Coverham. In 1563,
this land had been given to Ralph Croft and his wife Ann.
In 1573, Ralph Croft, Francis Bainbridge, James Jake, Oswald Metcalfe,
Robert Beckwith and Jane his wife gained lands in Coverham. A Henry Horner who had interests in lands
in Coverham. A John Horner who is associated with a Henry and
Margaret Horner and William their son regarding fines for a third
part of the moiety of the rectory of Coverham in 1599 and 1602
[139a]
In 1628, Charles I sold these estates to various
citizens of London. In 1656, the Lordship of Middleham
in Kettlewell was sold to a group of tenants that became known
as the trust Lords of Kettlewell
[142]
. A year later, in 1657 three Horners
are mentioned in the will of John Dawson of Gameskill in Coverdale
[143]
. He refers to Christopher Horner, ‘my
man’, and his godson John Horner, son of Edward Horner
of Little Scrafton, and a Peter Horner of ‘Midlam’ which
is probably Middleham
[144]
.
It is possible that the Horners of Coverdale were Quakers as in 1670 the homes of William Horner of Coverdale and Stephen Winn of Melmerby were centres of Quaker worship in the Leyburn area [145] .
Wensley Parish was a very large parish, which included
Redmire,
Bolton Castle and Middleham, until
1684 but the families of Horners that move into
these areas in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries appear
to have originated from other parishes. They may ultimately trace
their descent to a group of Horners originating in Nidderdale.

A John Horner buried his son Richard on 25 August 1555. A William Thompson married a Margaret Horner on 8 July 1549. Wensley Parish Registers. [129] The church at West Witton was dedicated to St Bartholomew. For the above see Wensleydale, by Ella Pontefract and Marie Hartley, 1936, p. 202. [130] High Marriforth and Marriforth Farm probably represent this on the ordnance survey maps today. These small farms lie between Finghall and Jervaulx Abbey, and Ellingstring. [131] A Ralph Horner and other tenants of Rookwith and East and West Mariford were in dispute with a Christopher Jackson over the Parish of Watlos and the parsonage of Watlos and the vicarage of Thornton Steward late of Jervaulx Abbey. See PROCAT E134/30 Eliz/1ti/16. Interestingly in 1156 Jervaulx Abbey moved to a new site near east Witton from Fors. The land was originally given by Conan, Earl of Richmond.
[132]
The manor of Wensleydale included
Jervaulx Abbey and the hamlets of Sklagill, Cams House, Simonstone
and Cotterdale. In 1544, these lands were given to Matthew Lennox
Earl of Lennox, along with Settrington and temple Newsam manors,
and his grandson James I brought them to the crown when he became
King in 1603. In 1573, Lennox was in conflict with his tenants
over the terms of their leases. Under Margaret Lennox they paid
fines worth 9-10 years rent for leases of 21 years, now they
were asked to pay fines for 30 years. Richard Bessom was granted
the bailiwick of Wensleydale for life and became Forester of
Kettlewell, Parker of Woodhall Park and bow bearer of Wensleydale
in 1604. The manor of Wensleydale was eventually held by George
Cole who leased lands to the tenants in 1624 for 2,000 years
and annual rents. In 1717, the manor was bought by Earl Lonsdale
and in 1723 was purchased by Edward Wortley and the names of
the manors were changed to High and Low Abbotside.
See Three seventeenth century surveys. [133] 9 September 1572. [134] This is probably Braithewaite Hall, marked on the ordnance survey maps between Coverham and East Witton, over the River Cover from Middleham. The survey was carried out by Ludovick Stewart, Duke of Lennox and Richmond. He had been granted Abbotside Common by James I. In the 1603 survey he found he was only receiving £100 rents instead of £1200. He sold the estate to John Coleby. See Wensleydale by Hartley and Pontefract p. 74. The Wards also held land in Givendale. See Craven Horners . [135] This included a house and it’s adjoining two acres, 97 acres and two rods of meadow, and 156 acres of pasture. He paid a rental of £2 a year . [136] This included 4 acres and 1 rod of meadow, 1 acre and 1 rod of arable land and 2 cowgate pastures. He had paid 13 shillings and four pence in fines over twenty years, in addition to a yearly rent of 6 s 8d. [137] This included 5 acres and 3 rods of meadow and 2 cowgate pastures. He had paid £1 in fines for this property over twenty years and a yearly rent of 6s. 8d. [138] This comprised one house, one outhouse, and twelve pasture gates. He had paid £3 4s in fines over twenty years and his annual rent was £1 1s. 4d. See Three seventeenth century surveys. Bishopdale is the next valley over from Coverham valley. [139] In 1613 Leonard Spence took action against John Horner and Gawin Spence over the rectory and parsonage of Coverham and five granges called Coverhead Grange, Arundell House, West Croften Grange, Cauldberth Grange and Carleton Flats (Tithes?). In 1613 a Christopher Loftus took action against John Horner, Thomas Hardcastle and Gawine Spence over the parsonage of Coverham and Kings Myers. See PROCAT 11 James 1613.
