Koning Henry III regeer steeds (r.1216-1272) gedurende hierdie Sir Nicholas

was extravagant and his tax demands were resented, the king's accounts show a
list of many charitable donations and payments for building works, including
the rebuilding of Westminster Abbey which began in 1245. (http://www.royal.gov.uk/historyofthemonarchy/kingsandqueensofengland/theplantagenets/henryiii.aspx)

Heron: The names of Herioun and Hern are in the Battle Abbey Roll of such noblemen and gentlemen of marque as came into England with the Duke of Normandy. The Duke had not fully reduced Northumberland when his survey of England called Domesday was made and therefore that county is not included in it. Henry I his son to effect the reduction and create a barrier against Scotland divided Northumberland into baronies one of which the Barony of Heron, he granted to the ancestor of this family in 1100. 1. Upon levying the aid in 1166 for the marriage of Maud the King’s daughter to the Duke of Saxony, the Bishop of Durham was commanded to make a return of his knights. It appears that Jordan Hairun then held certain estates in Durham; and it appear, that he held the Land-Barony of Heron in the reign of John, per servicium militare. 2. Another Jordan Heyrun paid two marks for one fee upon the scutage for Wales, 13th of John, as heri to Ralph de Wigornia. He was a justice of assize of Novel disseisin, taken at York 5 Hen III between Geoffry de Fribois and others and William, Earl of Albany and others. In the 9th of Hen III he was one of four English Barons, the justices itinerant for Northumberland. In the same year, he was one of the justices itinerant for Westmoreland and in the 12th of Hen III, Jordan Heyrun, et al were the justices itinerant for Durham. He died in the reign of Hen. III. Seised of the entire land-barony of Heron in demesne, viz in his own possession, or held of him in villerage. 3. William Heron died afterwards in the same reign seised of his barony; part in demesne and part held of him by knight’s service. 4. William Heirun, their successor, obtained a grant from Henry III dated 29 December 1251 of free warren in his manor of Hadeston, the caput baronice. He was governor of Bamburg Castle, Pickering Castle and Scarborough Castle and warden of all the forests north of Trent. He died in the 41st Henry III and in the 11th year of his shrievalty for Northumberland, seised of the Barony of Heron and of Bokenfield. Part of Bokenfield, with other estates in Northumberlnad was granted to him in 1254 by Roger Baron Bertram of Mitford; other part of Bokenfield he held at his death of Roger Baron Bertram of Bothall. He married Mary the daughter, who became sole heiress of Odonel de Ford by whom he left, 5. William Heron his son and heir aged 18. Being within age at the death of his father, the king was entitled to the wardship and marriage of him; yet this family was then so favoured by the crown, that, notwithstanding his infancy, he had the immediate livery of his barony, on paying his relief of one hundred marks. In the same year he paid seven hundred and three pounds eighteen shillings, the balance, allocates allocandis, of his father’s account, as sheriff of Northumberland. He inherited Ford, Crucum, Kynmerston, and Hetpole in Northumberland, as heir to Odonel de Ford, his grandfather.

Parke het al in Anglo-Saksiese Engeland bestaan, maar dit was eers na
die Norman Conquest wat hierdie parke
begin floreer het. Met die Domesday
survey was daar vyf en dertig parke in Engeland. Wharncliffe
Chase is an area of wild upland above the southern end of Wharncliffe Crags,
north of Sheffield. Following the Norman Conquest, Wharncliffe
was one of the many ‘chases’ in the area set aside as a royal hunting park for
the Lords of Hallamshire. (Andy Hemingway. https://andyhemingway.wordpress.com/page/5/?app-download=windowsphone)
Die wilde, ruie prag van Whamcliffe, met sy dik dekkleed
van hout, herinner aan hoe die hele Suidelike Yorkshire moes gelyk het, while yet the Normans reeved at home, while
yet Wortley and the famous chase of Wharncliffe were the home of Anglo-Saxon
freedom and before the Wortleys had risen up to be a race of mighty hunters,
although their efforts in that direction have had a comparatively early
beginning. ((“Old Yorkshire” http://www.forgottenbooks.com/readbook_text/Old_Yorkshire_1000750367/205)
Teen die jaar 1300 was die geskatte getal parke tussen 1900 en 3000. (Newton, Richard: Wortley through the ages. The History of the Long Term Development of
the Landscape Surrounding Wortley Hall from the End of the Ice Age to the
Modern Period.) In Middeleeuse parke was
bokke vir hul vleis en ook vir die plesier van
jag aangehou. Dit was ‘n sosiale
byeenkoms. Jag was een van die
gunsteling tydverdrywe van die adelikes en veral van die ridders. Dit was ook ‘n goeie oefening vir
oorlogvoering en veral nuttig vir die beoefening van die gebruik van boog en
pyle. Hunters used bows or arbalests, and
they hunted all sorts of game, from deers, boars, rabbits, to different types
of birds. (Snajdar, Tea Gudek: Knights)
Van die begin van die dertiende eeu af, het alle parke aan die koning
behoort en om ‘n park te skep, moes 'n lisensie van die koning bekom word.
Hierdie lisensie was bekend as 'n Grant
of Free Warren. Sewentig Middeleeuse
lisensies was in Suid-Yorkshire uitgereik. (Newton, Richard: Wortley through the ages. The History of the Long Term Development of
the Landscape Surrounding Wortley Hall from the End of the Ice Age to the
Modern Period.)
Die Wortleys het sedert c. 1246 alleen jagreg op hulle grond gehad. Dit het aan
hulle die reg gegee om enige persoon te verbied om die gronde van Wortley of Hardwick
vir jagdoeleindes te betree, sonder die toestemming en vergoeding aan Nicholas
de Wortley en sy erfgename. (Gatty, Alfred, rev., D.D. vicar of Ecclesfield, and sub, dean of
York: Wortley & the Wortleys - a
lecture delivered before the Sheffield literary and philosophical society also
the Rotherham literary and scientific society, 1877, Sheffield)
‘n Grant of Free Warren is in 1252 aan die Wortleys uitgereik. Hierdie toekenning was gemaak om Wharncliffe Chase, langs die kranse by Wharncliffe te skep. Hierdie kranse was voorheen bekend as Querncliffe, omdat die rots geskik is vir die vervaardiging van meulstene (a stone hand mill for grinding corn). Die meulsteen vervaardigingsbedryf by Wharncliffe Crags dateer terug tot voor die Romeinse tydperk. (Newton, Richard: Wortley through the ages. The History of the Long Term Development of the Landscape Surrounding Wortley Hall from the End of the Ice Age to the Modern Period.)

When looking at the land the Wortleys owned and the
prestige they gained from owning it, we can look to the hunting chase that they
owned on the Wharncliffe Crags. In 1252, the family obtained a free grant in order
to own land to hunt deer. During this time, Crags were unfenced areas of land used
for both the hunt and meat however because the deer were owned by the king, it was
a special sign of status to own land and grants to be allowed to kill the deer. (https://udspace.udel.edu/bitstream/handle/19716/17153/Worthley%2C%20Nicole.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y)
Die eerste kennismaking met die Wortley’s as bekwame
jagters is in 1292, toe Nicholas, die seun van Nicholas de Wortley, voor die King's Justices gedagvaar is om te wys
deur watter warrant hy free
chase in al sy domain lands van Wortley en
Herdewyk het. His answer to the summons — to him, no doubt, an intolerable impertinence (ondraaglike
vermetelheid) — is very conclusive. The right was granted in
1241 to Nicholas, son of Nicholas, father of him, the said Nicholas, by the
King's charter, which gave him free warren in all his lands not within the
boundaries of the King's forest, and so his plea was allowed on the production
of that charter. The boundaries of the forest, royal or baronial, were then
very apt to encroach upon the public rights.

Dit wil voorkom asof die Wortley Kapel in die 13de eeu, so vroeg as 1251/52
gebou is. (Gatty, Alfred, rev., D.D. vicar of Ecclesfield, and sub, dean of
York: Wortley & the Wortleys - a
lecture delivered before the Sheffield literary and philosophical society also
the Rotherham literary and scientific society, 1877, Sheffield) Al het die gronde van die lordship of Wortley oor driekwart van
die gemeente van Tankersley gestrek, was die bou van St. Leonard kerk op Wortley
te laat om te deel in die inkomste wat verkry is uit die tiendes van die
omliggende gronde en het dit ‘n kapel in die gemeente van Tankersley gebly. (Newton, Richard: Wortley through the ages. The History of the Long Term Development of

In 1848 in A Topographical Dictionary of England word die Wortley chapelry as volg beskryf: The chapelry is situated on the road from Sheffield to Halifax, and is separated from Bradfield and part of the parish of Penistone by the river Don, which forms its western boundary. It comprises about 6278 acres, of which 2000 are woodland; of the remainder, one-third is arable, and two-thirds meadow and pasture: the soil is a mixture of clay and grit. The surface is boldly undulated, and rises from the banks of the Don to a considerable elevation, commanding extensive prospects over the surrounding country; the hills are finely wooded, and the scenery in many parts beautifully picturesque. (Lewis, Samuel, ed.: 'Worplesdon - Wortwell', in A Topographical Dictionary of England. (London, 1848), pp. 687-692)

Die dorp Wortley was hoofsaaklik ‘n boerderygemeenskap wat behoort het
en beinvloed is deur die Wortley familie. Die belangrikste taak in die twaalfde en
dertiende eeuse dorpe was die verbouing van voedselgewasse om hulself mee te onderhou. Die mans het die grond met beeste bewerk en
die landerye is in die vroeë lente geplant. In Junie het die familie 'n vroeë oes bymekaar
gemaak. Teen Julie was die koring gereed en die skape geskeer. In September was
die druiwe-oes 'n belangrike gebeurtenis
en teen Oktober het die boere weer die lande bewerk en geplant. (Black death – Medieval Europeans https://www.awesomestories.com/asset/view/MEDIEVAL-EUROPEANS-Black-Death//1) Boerdery is op klassiek-middeleeuse tradisie
georganiseer: "the arable and meadow were divided into
unhedged strips among the cultivators; both arable and meadow were thrown open
for common pasturing after harvest and in fallow seasons; the cultivators (landbouers)...enjoyed common rights over pasture and
waste. (Cooper, Stephen: Those was good lads - a history of tudor
Rotherham http://www.chivalryandwar.co.uk/Resource/TUDOR.pdf)
In 1268 was Nicholas de Wortley in geskil met Henry, Parson of Wortley (dominee) oor die reg van gemeenskaplike weiveld. (About St Leonard’s Wortley church) There
was a dispute betwixt the lord of Wortley and the parson, documentary evidence
of which exists in the archives at Wortley Hall, to this effect: that
"Nicholas de Wortley, who had brought an assize of a novel disseisin
against Henry, Parson of the Church of Wortley, for Common of Pasture in
Wortley, comes into Court, and signifies that he will proceed no farther in the
said action, by entering his retraxit se upon record." Appended to this
ancient memorandum is the following: "N.B. - It should seem, by this entry,
that the vill of Wortley was at this time a distinct parish of itself, of which
the defendant Henry was Parson. The cause of dissension betwixt Nicholas de Wortley
and Parson Henry was probably no unusual source of difference at this time; for
it was in the twentieth year of Henry III, that " the statute of Morton
first gave power to Lords, to endow wastes and commons, provided they left
sufficient common of pasture for the freeholders. (Gatty,
Alfred, rev., D.D. vicar of Ecclesfield,
and sub, dean of York: Wortley & the

Die Wortley dorp se behuisingspatroon
weerspieël die styl van 'n landgoed-dorpie
soos ook op Wentworth en Hooton Pagnell gesien kan word. Die ouer huise in die dorp is gegroepeer
rondom die St. Leonard’s Kerk, naby aan die public
house , die skool, die plaaslike winkel en die allerbelangrike smid. (The Village of Wortley. A place of
beauty, character and especially history. http://thecountesstearoom.co.uk/home/index.php/history/the-village-of-wortley)
. Selfonderhouding was nie net beperk
tot landbouprodukte nie. Landgoed-werkswinkels
en -ambagsmanne het dikwels 'n verskeidenheid van artikels verskaf wat anders
gekoop sou moes word. In die meeste
dorpe het Landgoed-grofsmede baie van die gereedskap en implemente wat vir landboudoeleindes
nodig was, gemaak.
Die huise in Middeleeuse dorpe is naby mekaar gebou. Hulle was gewoonlik van hout met grasdakke gemaak en was dikwels vol insekte
en knaagdiere. Rondloperhonde was altyd naby. Baie mense het in dieselfde kamer geslaap.
Daar was geen riolering en ander gesondheids-georiënteerde geriewe nie.
(Black death – Medieval Europeans https://www.awesomestories.com/asset/view/MEDIEVAL-EUROPEANS-Black-Death//1
) In
1250 was daar vir ‘n kort periode, 'n Sondag-mark in Wortley gevestig, maar dit
is vinnig onderdruk deur die monnike wat die regte om markte in Barnsley te
hou, besit het. (Wortley, South Yorkshire. http://www.cyclopaedia.fr/wiki/Wortley,_South_Yorkshire) In 1250 the prior of Pontefract impleaded Ralph de
Horbury, Reiner le Fleming and John Pipester to show by what warrant they held
a weekly market on Sunday at Wortley, to the damage of the prior’s market at
Barnsley, granted him by the king; it
was agreed that the market should not be held in future. (Farrer,
