48 HISTORY OF CORN MILLING: vol. iv. II- have conjointly, unanimously, and faithfully promised to make no ^^^AEm^^^^ injurious impediment to the undertaking ; so that the abbot and MILLS convent may at pleasure make at the aforesaid place, viz. The Gaye, a watermill and easement, and, that being done, may freely 7. The Mill on use the same at his convenience. If, nevertheless, any impediment the Gaye, — evidently by this mill, or any other by the said abbot made or 1268. placed, or by other things, being appurtenances— may reasonably be apparent to be done [on the river] to the injury of the town, so that vessels, large and small, cannot come and return freely to the said town, then the burgesses shall take into their own hands all lands, rents, and tenements of the said abbot and convent, wherever they shall be inhabited by burgesses, and shall hold the same without cavil or contradiction, and shall fully receive all issues and profits arising from the same till satisfaction for such transgression be made. Witnesses, the Lord Thomas Corbet, Robert de Gyros, and Wm. de Hedley : St. Luke the Evangelist's Day [October 18], in the year of grace 1268.* 8. Compact 8. We may now see how the enforced milHng Th^^T^^ ^^ partnership between the abbey and the town ' 1280. pro- gressed; though the local chroniclers, having incorrectly referred to it thus far, make no further allusion to it. The burgesses, with none of the precision and officialism of the monks, contrived in but a few years to get i their share of the business into complete disorder. The four common mills in the town they had refused Text, in. 74. to join in repairing ; even after the abbot, in accordance with law, had formally called upon them to do so. In due course the mills became ruinous, and to make up for their loss some of the burgesses erected a dozen others. These necessarily were flimsy, inconsiderable structures, mostly horse- or ass-mills ; as a dozen mills of any size were obviously far beyond the requirements of the town. Such a state of affairs no doubt abolished all exclusive soke for any one, but it also abolished all compulsory liability upon any. one to maintain, year in and year out, for the common benefit, adequate and permanent mills grinding at a legally stipulated toll— a vital responsibility which feudal soke law had wisely been intended to secure, * " The site of this mill is still [1825] traditionally remembered. A pavement which had belonged to it was taken up a few years ago." — Owen and Blakeway.
SOME FEUDAL MILLS. 49 and for which as yet no sufficient substitute was qrTRpJ^qrjTT v forthcoming. At this juncture, to save his share in the abbey MILLS. property from ruin, the abbot, about 1279, appealed to Edward L ; who issued a writ, stating *' he had been ^- Compact informed on the part of the abbot that the burgesses the Town did not preserve the compact, and had permitted the 1280. four mills in the town to fall in ruin for lack of main- tenance due on their part, while they had also set up in the town, without the consent of the abbot, twelve other mills."* He ordered all the parties to attend in the court of the king wherever he might be in the fortnight of the festival of John the Baptist (June 24). It was Hilary Term, 8 Edward I. (1280), before the case came before a jury, and a verdict was then returned on all the counts in favour of the abbey. Jurati dicunt super sacramentum suum quod tria molendina ad Trans. Shrop. equos et unum molendinum ventriticum sunt diruta et prostrata ob Arch. Soc, defectum construcionis et reparacionis predictorum burgensium ut supra, communitatis predicte et non per defectum ipsorum abbatis et conventus. Et de quarto molendino dicunt quod omnino ignorant ubi situm fuit nee de eo unquam noticiam habuerunt. Et dicunt quod tria predictorum molendinorum nunc sunt edificata per predictos : burgenses et inde proficium capiunt. Dicunt etiam quod * In July 1403, on the day after the battle of Shrewsbury, Henry IV., erecting a mock pillory of stones from these mills in the market-place, exposed and quartered there the body of Hotspur :— Henricus Percy non solum semel occidit sed quantum in ipso est bis et ter interfecit. Quia postquam semel fuit occisus et domino de Fernyvale ad sepelendium traditus et liberatus, qui ipsum ecclesiasticze sepulturse prout moris erat Anglia Sacra, christianorum cum honore quo tunc potuit tradidit, et cum suffragiis mortuorum artic. R. Scrope missarum et aliarum orationum ipsius animam apud Deum commendavit ; idem 366 Archeo- ; dominus Henricus, ut cruentia bestia, ejus sanguinem denuo sitiens, ejus corpus logia, xx. 162. tie tumulo exhumari et extrali praecipit ; et inter duos molas asinarias in quodam vico de Sciropesberie juxta collistrigium reponi et sedere fecit, ac cum armatis hominibus custodiari ; postmodum decollari et membratim dividi et quarterisari, et caput et ejus quarterias ad regni certas civitates transmitti jussit. Henry slew Percy not once for all, but— so far as in him lay — annihilated him twice or thrice. For after he was slain and his body delivered and released for burial to Lord Furnival, and after he, with such honour as he then could, had given it sepulture with the rites of the Church, as the manner of Christians was ; and, with the last offices for the dead, masses, and other prayers, had commended his soul to God ; the said Lord Henry, with the cruelty of a beast, thirsting for his blood anew, ordered the body to be exhumed and taken forth. Between two ass-mill stones beside the pillory in a certain street in Shrewsbury it was placed and made to sit, guarded by armed men ; afterwards it was beheaded, its limbs severed, and quartered the head and ; quarters being ordered to be transmitted to certain towns in the kingdom.
