1 Inquisitio post mortem, 25 Edward III., first numbers, No. 34. This was the fourth inquisition held concerning the lands of Walter de Heslarton. It was held by commission dated 14 July, anno 26 (1352). Henry de Percy, son and heir of Henry de Percy, deceased, had appeared in the chancery and asserted that Walter, on the day of his death, held the manor of Kernetby of Henry de Percy, deceased, as returned in the inquisition held on 14 Sept., 1351. John Gaunt, for the King, said that the said feoffees still held the manor and other lands, as returned in the inquisition held on 29 May, 1352, and that Walter acquired in fee the manor of Wharrom, which is held of

1 By an inquisition held at York on Friday, the feast of SS. Peter and Paul, anno 26 (29 June, 1352), it was found that the manor of Wharrom Percy was worth by the year 201., and the manors of Kernetby and Scorby, with the lands in Ilkelay and Staynfordbrig, 1001. The enfeoffment (to John de Hothum of Scorburgh, knight, the younger, Martin de Skirne, John de Alberthorp and John de Scardeburgh, chaplains) was made in anno 21 (1347-8), and the said feoffees were still seised of the premises. Walter de Heselarton died in the pestilence, 9 Sept., 1349. Walter de Heselarton, his son and heir, was aged seventeen years, and was not married in his father's lifetime. (Inq. p. m., 25 Edw. III., first numbers, No. 34.)

7 This place, according to Kirkby's Inquest (pp. 141, 142), was in the wapentake of Pickering Lythe. It lay near Little Edston, but seems lost, unless it has been rightly identified by the editor of Kirkby's Inquest with Cartoft, a farm about half a mile north of Little Edston. The Catter beck, about a mile east of Edston, may give a clue as to its site. It was, however, a place of little importance, as the Inquest states "jacet friscus, et est communa (sic) pastura."
