1541—1654. 1887. P. 68) Edward Wortlay x 25/09/1569 met Alice WHITEHEAD.
Edward was die seun van Edward Wortley.
In die derde jaar van
Elizabeth (r.1558-1603) se regering, het die mense van die Gereformeerde Kerk in
London, die gebruik van gebede in 'n vreemde taal, lighted tapers, oil (chrism),
duiweluitdrywings (weg waai van die bose geeste), ens. heeltemal opgegee, maar
in die noorde van Engeland, was hulle jare agter in die opgee van bygelowe. Dit
was nege jaar nadat die King’s
Ordinance of Royal Supremacy uitgereik was, wat die eerste
Protestantse aartsbiskop van York, Robert Holgate, in die primêre Visitation van sy Diocese, bevind het dat daar nog vir die Pous
gebid is in die Kirkburtonse Kerk. In 1570 het Edmund Grindal bevind dat
die grootste deel van die geestelikes in die Noorde teen die Hervorming
was, and amongst both clergy and laity “great ignorance, much dulness
to conceive better instructions, and great stiffness to retain their wonted
errors. They keep holy days and fasts; they offer money, eggs, &c., at the
burial of their dead; they pray on beads; so that this seems to be as it were another
church, rather than a member of the rest.” (Collins, Frances Anne,
ed.: The Parish registers of Kirkburton, co York. Vol. I.
1541—1654. 1887. P. 65) Mary Queen of Scots is in Koningin Elizabeth se
regeringstyd (r.1558-1603) gevange geneem. Mary het Engeland se
godsdienstige stabilteit met haar sterk Katolieke oortuigings bedryg. Sy
het ook aanspraak op die Engelse troon probeer maak wat tot haar teregstelling
in 1587 gelei het.
The name of Whitehead is derived from the white or
blond hair of its first bearer. It was
originally used as a nickname, and was first taken as a patronymic by the sons
of those so called. In ancient English
the name appears in the various spellings of Whytehead, Whythead, Witheved,
Wytehead, Whitehede, Whytehed, Whiteheued, Whiteheved, Whittehed, Whithed,
Whitehed, Qwytheued, Qhwiteheved, Whythead, Whithead, Whitehead, and others. The earliest records of the name in England
include those of Roger Whitheved, of Huntingdonshire, in the year 1273; William
Whitheved, of Cambridgeshire, about the same time; and Adam Whiteheued,
Johannes or John Whittehed, Robertus or Robert Qwytheued, John Qhwiteheved, and
Rauf or Ralph Whytehed, all of Yorkshire, in the year 1379, and shortly
thereafter. An ancient and well-know
Whitehead coat of arms is described in heraldic terms as follows
(Burke, Encyclopedia of Heraldry, 1844):
Arms—“Azure, a fess
between three fleurs-de-lis or.”
Crest—“A wolf sejant
argent.”
Motto—“Virtute et
valore.”

In die
vroeë geskiedenis van Shepley was daar vier belangrike faktore wat die
alledaagse lewe van die mense geraak en beïnvloed het. Eerstens was Shepley vir meer as ‘n 1000 jaar 'n belangrike kruispad vir beide
groot en plaaslike roetes.
Die eerste kaart wat die grense van Holm Firth aangedui het, het tussen 1413 en 1522 verskyn. Piper Wells word getoon as 'n belangrike plek en Lanehead word ook getoon. Talle pakperde roetes het Shepley gekruis en die Piper Wells kruispad (ook bekend as Five Lane Ends) en Shepley Lane Head was die middelpunt van die plaaslike roetes.

Carr is 'n area met moerasagtige nat grond.
Shepley Carr is een van die oudste areas in Shepley. Dit is ook op die
ou reisroete geleë en daar
is 'n gemeenskap en merkwaardige eiendom by Carr House. Carr House is
oorspronklik in 1568 gebou.
Aktes by die West Yorkshire Argief Sentrum in Wakefield dui daarop dat die oorspronklike huis by Shepley Carr wat uit die 16de eeu dateer die eiendom van die Armytage Familie van Kirklees Hall was. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepley)
Daar was baie min misdaad in Shepley
in die periode 1275 – 1308. Daar was
sekerlik ook duisende husbandmen in die sestiende en vroeë sewentiende
eeue, waarvan sommiges so arm was dat die church
courts hulle nie aan hulle
sou steur nie, maar in 1568 verskyn Edward en William Wortley voor die hof as
beskuldigdes vir intrusion.

Mary, and Philip and Mary and to the pleadings of the first thirteen years of
the reign of Queen Elizabeth. 1827.)
Tweedens was Shepley deel van 'n
herehuis en die Lords of the Manor sou 'n groot invloed op die dag-tot-dag lewe
uitgeoefen het.
Op 25 Augustus 1571 het Richard Cooke,
Esq., of Fulwell, in Essex (die kleinseun van Richard Stansfeld) die moiety of
the manor of Shepley, the hall, lands and appurtenances, miln courts,
franchises, royalties, &c., being of the annual value of £18 9s. 11d. aan
John Savile, of Stanley naby Wakefield vir £520 verkoop. (Morehouse, Henry James: The history and topography of the parish of
Kirkburton and of the graveship of Holme, Holmfirth in the county of York.)
In die derde plek, daar was 'n sterk godsdienstige invloed. Die predikante van Kirkburton was magtige persone in die gebied.
Met die plague gedurende die herfs en winter van 1587-1588, was die sterftesyfer in die Kurkburton-gemeente skokkend hoog. Van Januarie tot September 1587 was die gemiddelde maandelikse begrafnissyfer vyf. Tussen 24 Oktober en 10 Desember 1587, toe die epidemie op sy hoogtepunt was, was daar een en veertig begrafnisinskrywings in die Kirkburton register. (Minter, Gordon and Enid: Discovering old Huddersfield. Part one. Huddersfield. 2010 (1993)) Tussen Oktober en die daaropvolgende Januarie is 81 mense begrawe. Die hartseer en lyding van die 1587 epidemie in Kirkburton moes katastrofies vir die mense gewees het, aangesien hulle slegs een generasie tevore deur dieselfde tragedie gegaan het. (Minter, Gordon and Enid: Discovering old Huddersfield. Part one. . Huddersfield. 2010 (1993)
Baie
van Shepley se inwoners is in die Kirkburtonse kerkhof begrawe. Die begrafnisgangers
met die liggame is met Long Lane tot by Corn Mill
Bottom, en hiervandaan met die lyk roete af van Box Ings tot
in Kirkburton, waar hulle by die kerk se lychgate aangekom
het. (Billington, David: Shepley,
Believe it …… or Not!) Die lych hek by Kirkburton was die eindpunt van
die sogenaamde corpse way,
wat oor die veld vanaf die rand van die dorp gelei het. (Minter, Gordon
and Enid: Discovering old Huddersfield. Part one. Huddersfield.
2010. (1993) Die pad deur die kerkhof lei tot trappe en die Lych gate in die muur aan die westelike grens
van die kerk. The word
“lych” is derived from an Old English word meaning corpse. Die dak
van die lych hek het as skuiling vir
begrafnisgangers gedien, terwyl hulle vir die priester gewag het, aangesien
hulle nie toegelaat was om sonder hom in die kerk in te gaan nie. Gedurende die plague was priesters nie gretig om die begrafnisgangers by die Lych* hek soos gewoonlik te ontmoet nie. Met die gevolg dat die slagoffers van die plague dikwels in die nag deur hulle familie en sonder die gebruiklike rituele en seremonies begrawe is. Sommige mense is selfs buite die begraafplaas begrawe, maar hulle sterftes is wel aangeteken. (Minter, Gordon and Enid: Discovering old Huddersfield. Part one. . Huddersfield. 2010 (1993)

‘n Ooreenkoms, bekend as die final concord (or fine) is in die laat 12de eeu
ontwikkel. Oorspronklik was dit 'n
manier om werklike geskille op te los, maar gedurende die 13de eeu het die fine 'n gewilde manier vir die oordrag
van eiendom geword, en die regsaksie was gewoonlik 'n fiktiewe een, wat begin
is deur die samewerking van albei partye. Nog 'n rede vir die gewildheid
van fines was dat getroude vroue kon deelneem
daaraan, without the
risk of a later challenge on the grounds that they had been coerced by their
husbands . Met die
gevolg dat egpare dikwels fines gebruik het om eiendom oor te dra. Either the property could be
the wife's, or else it could be the husband's, in which case her participation
would ensure she could not claim dower in it after his death. (http://www.medievalgenealogy.org.uk/fines/index.shtml)

Die grootste deel van die landelike bevolking het in krotte gewoon, terwyl die Yeoman huise, soos hieronder beskryf, nuwe vlakke van gemak en gerief gebring het. (Billington, Dawid: Shepley, glo dit ...... of nie!) Die huise het ook langer gehou, omdat klip tot 'n groot mate die plek van hout ingeneem het. The windows, which before that period had been small narrow lights, were then made considerably larger, with mullions, and among the better kind, with transoms in one or more windows. These houses had usually one or two gables to the front, the entrance being often by a porch, and the chimneys frequently forming large projections. The interior of the house usually consisted on one side of a specious room and a parlour beyond it, and on the other of a large kitchen and offices. These were divided from each other by partitions of strong oak. The parlour was usually the sleeping room of the worthy yeoman. The chambers or other sleeping apartments were low, dark, and dreary, and open to the roof. The furniture in those days was entirely of oak, and consisted or a large dining table, with seats or benches to match; chairs, an aumbry, several large and small chestes. A neat chest was often brought by the thrifty wife on her marriage, containing a part of her wardrobe; the linen also, which she brought, being often of her own spinning. The walls of the house or kitchen were usually decorated with such weapons of warfare as were then or had been, in use, and for which their owner evinced much regard. (Morehouse, Henry James: The history and topography of the parish of Kirkburton and of the graveship of Holme, Holmfirth in the county of York.)
In Shepley was die huise van 'n hoë gehalte as gevolg van die plaaslike
beskikbaarheid van kwaliteit klip. Die
meeste van die geboue is van Yorkshire klip, met leiklip dakke gebou. Shepley
Greenmore stone, ook bekend as bluestone,
is 'n baie harde en duursame materiaal. By baie van die laat 16de en vroeë 17de
eeuse huise is ‘n datum in die klipwerk aangebring. Hierdie klipdatum was ‘n statussimbool. (Billington, David: Shepley, Believe it …… or Not!)
Die Manor of Shepley, die hall, landerye en toebehore is in transaksies in Julie 1594 en Augustus 1595 vir 'n totaal van £ 580 deur John Savile (Jnr) van Netherton aan Robert Hepworth van Shepley Hall (sy huurder) verkoop. Hierdie Robert Hepworth het Shepley Hall herbou - op die bo-drumpel bokant die voordeur kan 'Anno Domini 1608' RH ' nog duidelik gesien word. “ A small mansion in the style then prevailing … Over the door, cut in the stone, are initial letters of his name, and the year, " 1608."

Sommige van die oudste dated
properties wat steeds as huise bewoon word sluit Lane Head House van 1597 in. Die Firth familie het by Shepley Lane Head gewoon vanaf ten minste 1597.
John Firth was die eerste keer bewoner
en Maria Firth, wat in 1898 gesterf het, die laaste. Die prominente plaaslike familie was Quakers. (Billington, David: Shepley, Believe it …… or Not!)
Quaker - a member
of the Religious Society of Friends, a Christian movement founded by George Fox
circa 1650 and devoted to peaceful principles. Central to the Quakers' belief
is the doctrine of the “Inner Light,” or sense of Christ's direct working in
the soul. This has led them to reject
both formal ministry and all set forms of worship. Quakers
were subject to much persecution, imprisonment and confiscation of property.
They have a strong commitment to pacifism and their devotion to social and
educational work has earned universal respect.
Hoofroetes van Penistone, Barnsley, Wakefield, Huddersfield, New Mill, Holm Firth en die roetes vanoor die Pennines, kruis almal by Lane Head. Shepley Lane Head moes 'n baie belangrike en besige plek, met die Quaker Meeting House in die omgewing gewees het.
1597 - Quaker Meeting House at Lane Head.
Quakers deel 'n lewenswyse, eerder as 'n stel oortuigings. Hulle godsdienstige ervaring heg spesiale waarde aan waarheid, gelykheid, eenvoud en vrede, en hulle is nie konfronterend nie. In die begin van die beweging was dit moeilik om openlik te ontmoet en vergaderings sou waarskynlik private huise of skure van vroeë bekeerlinge gehou wees.

Robert Hepworth of

Frances die dogter van die Rev. John Stowell, vicar
of Penistone, getroud is. Hy het die office of high constable of Agbrigg gehou en was as die collector of the tithes, chantry
and other rents belonging to his Majesty, James I in West-Riding aangestel. (Morehouse,
