The worthlessness of this document is apparent from the evidence of the foregoing charters and instruments, and equally so by reference to the Domesday Survey, where we read that Geoffrey de la Guerche has in Adlingfleet... "a church there and a priest," etc. 489. Grant by Alan Wastehose to the canons of Drax of his ferry over Don, for the health of the soul of his good lord Henry II and of his lord Richard I. 1194-1199. Chartul. of Drax; Dodsw. MS. xxvi, f. 65d (f. 68d). Omnibus sancte matris ecclesie filiis præsentibus et futuris Alanus Wastehose salutem. Noverit universitas vestra me concessisse et dedisse et hac presenti charta mea confirmasse Deo et ecclesie Beati Nicholai de Drax et canonicis ibidem Deo servientibus passagium meum de Done, in puram et perpetuam elemosinam, liberam et quietam ab omni seculari servitio et exactione, pro salute anime domini mei boni Henrici regis et domini mei regis Richardi filii sui, et anime mee, uxoris mee et heredum meorum. Et ego et heredes mei predictis canonicis warantizabimus hanc elemosinam. This ferry was at Fokerby, as shown by the next charter. Ralph Wastehose was amerced 20s. in 1176 for forest trespass,1 apparently in the forest of Pickering. He was succeeded by Alan his nephew, who proffered 10 m. in 1185 to have the right of 47 m. of debts due to his uncle. At Easter 1194, possibly for services rendered in the revolt of count John, Alan obtained a grant of a third part of Snaith with the socage, the whole having theretofore been administered by the sheriff on behalf of the crown at a farm of £30 per annum. As a result of this grant the sheriff eased his farm £10 per annum from the date named. There are many references to Alan's profession and office of royal hunter. In 1202 a payment of £109, 15s. 8d. was made by the sheriff of Cumberland to Alan Wastehose with his to greyhounds and 4 dog-walkers, and to William the Fowler and his dogs for their expenses for a year and a half; also £8, 125. 2d. for sending the dogs beyond seas to the king and for salting venison. In 1203 payments were made of £10, 95. 94d. to Alan Wastehose and 7 grooms with 78 harriers for their allowances from Sunday before Mid-Lent to 8th May (1201), by the hand of William de Percy; and 10 m. to Alan for his support and that of his hounds and 2 m. for smarter clothes for his men. These charges were connected with the king's visit to Yorkshire in February and March 1201. Alan died during the year 1203, when Rades, the king's valet, proffered 40 m. and a palfrey to have to wife (Emma) daughter and heir of Alan Wastehose with her inheritance. From his wife's estate Rades adopted the name “de Duffeld." From John he had a grant of land in Seberham, co. Cumb., of which he was in possession in 1223. Reference to the family 1 Pipe R., 22 Hen.

According to the inquest taken after his death in 1251, he held his land in Snaith and the socage by serjeanty of the king, namely by the service of one haubergeon in the king's army.1 490. Quit-claim by Geoffrey clerk of Fokerby to the convent of Drax of the ferry over Don at Fokerby which Alan Wasthose gave to them; for which they gave him 2 m. and granted him, his heirs and his household of Fokerby passage over Don without fare. 1194-1203. Chartul. of Drax, f. 67; Dodsw. MS. xxvi, f. 67 (f. 70).

Grant by King John to Roger, constable of Chester, of the manor of Snaith with the soc to hold by the service of a knight's fee, saving to the heirs of Alan Wasthose the land which the same Alan had in that manor.

The manor of Snaith with the socage was one of the crown estates of which no detailed account is found in the Domesday survey, although there is reference to it. It lay partly in the wapentake of Osgoldcross and partly in that of Barkston, and its extent has been tentatively identified in V. C. H. Yorks. (ii, 298 n., 301 m.). Land in Snaith and in Flaxley, Rawcliffe, and Brayton was given by the Conqueror to Selby at the foundation of that house. The manor remained in the demesne of the crown until Midsummer 1174, when it was granted to John de Waueray, the king's steward, and thereupon the sheriff of the county was credited with the sum of £30 per annum, the amount at which the manor and socage had been committed to him at farm.1 Waueray held the manor until Christmas 1176. Next year the socage was tallaged at 20 m. 115. 4d., and in 1187 at £15, 135. 4d. with the manor, half the latter sum being remitted in 1191. The town and socage were again tallaged in 1203 at £35, 14s. 8d., paid in 57 tallies.3 In consequence of this grant, the sheriff eased his farm £20 per annum from Michaelmas 1205. The farm of £30 indicates about 40 carucates of land in demesne, irrespective of lands granted in fee or in alms. 492. Grant by Asketill de Huch to the brethren of St. Martial of Newhus, with Aschetill his son, of 10 perches of moor in Inklemore in Swinfleet, adjoining on the east the moor which the donor gave to the nuns of Coton, and 10 perches in breadth; also a messuage having a length of 7 perches and a breadth of 5 perches. c.1190-1207.

Legend: +SIGILLVM ASCTIN DE HVC' Anschetill de Huch, lord of Hook, near Goole, was father of Roger de Huch or Huuc, who was a benefactor to the hospital of St. Leonard, York.2 In 1208 Savary de Huc quit-claimed to Roger son of Anketil (de Huc) 20 acres of land in Hook (Huc), touching which there had been a recognition of mort d'ancestor, probably after the death of Anchetill, father of Roger. At the same time Walter son of Gundrea de Haldeneby made a similar quit-claim in respect of 10 acres of land in Hook. The descent of the line from Roger was through John his son to Thomas son of John, who was a knight and flourished from about 1270 to after 1316, when he was returned as lord of Cotness and a joint lord of Swinton in Ryedale." 493. Grant by Anschetill de Huch to the nuns of Coton of turbary in Inkelmore, 10 perches in width, with a perch of 18 feet, adjoining turbary of the canons of Newhus, and extending from the causeway which divides the moor and underwood of Swinfleet to the end of that moor; with a toft 80 feet in length and breadth. c.1189-1207.
