124 HISTORY OF CORN MILLING: VOL. IV.
SOME FEUDAL MILLS. 125 CHAPTER IV. KING'S MILLS OF THE ROYAL BOROUGH OF LIVERPOOL.^ 1. The archaeology of corn milling in Liverpool ^ing's^ills widely contrasts with that of any of the medieval Liverpool. cities already considered. The royal soke of the i. Eastham manor, small and insignificant enough when first dis- WatermiUs, cerned in Plantagenet days, grew concurrently with the development of the embryo town and port ; and safely endured beyond that critical period which extinguished the soke of Dublin Castle and Shrews- in one bury Abbey, though it was never comprised powerful mill, as was the soke of Chester in Dee Mill. The king's mills of Liverpool consisted of several separate establishments, held directly under the Crown, usually conjointly ; and sub-leased separately. So long as the soke was retained by the Crown, these mills successfully conserved their legal rights; but when that binding link was broken— this being when Charles L in 1629 alienated his ancient inheritance in Liverpool and its mills— the new holders of the soke * By the favour of the Corporation of Liverpool, and many obliging facilities of officials in the Town Clerk's department, much information relating to the milling history of the town has been derived from the Port Mote books, dating from the year 1551, and the Okill collection of transcripts of early Duchy deeds, &c., included in the archives of the city. A brief outline sketch, The King's Mills of Ancient Liverpool, prepared from the draft of the present chapter, and contributed by Mr. Bennett to the Historic Society of Lancashire and Cheshire in 1896, varies in several material details from the history now presented. This is due to many further investigations having since been made to solve difficulties, then experienced, in linking together the fragmentary records which are all that remain to Liverpool. A fair amount of success has resulted ; mainly by the kindness of Mr. R. D. Radcliffe, M.A., F.S.A., and Mr. W. Farrer, in affording full investigation of transcripts of the Moore and Crosse Charters, and of many local deeds found by the latter gentleman in Additional MSS. at the British Museum. ^ ^' ' ^
