Descripción:

The Old French word <i> mes </i> derives from the Latin verb ‘manere’, that is to dwell or remain, and it means a dwelling place. The earliest recorded use is in 1321-2, in a Parliamentary roll, but in the 1400s the word was more generally employed as an alternative to messuage. In a deed of 1486 a property called <i> Nethirholynhyrst </i> was first referred to as ‘a messuage’ and then, in an attachment, as <i> the same mease </i> (YRS76/133). In some documents the emphasis seems to be on the site rather than on the building itself. There are references to <i> a meese with a laith bigged </i>[built]<i> upon it </i> in Nottinghamshire in 1490 (SS53/51) and to <i> one mease in Wadesworthe wythe one house buylded upon yt </i> in Yorkshire in 1557 (Crossley158). In 1590 a newly-built house in Dewsbury was referred to in the court rolls as <i> a messuage called a meestead </i> and here the suffix ‘stead’ clearly refers to the ‘site’ (YAJ21/454).
