1 gen 1618 anni - wrangland

Descrizione:

In the open field system the unit of cultivation was the strip or ‘land’ and these were in groups, often known as furlongs or shutts. It was usual for the strips to be long and have just a slight ‘S’ shaped curve be straight but the terrain meant that was not always possible. One of the words used to describe more crooked strips was ‘wrang’, a spelling of wrong which was common in Yorkshire and survives in dialect speech. It survives also in the place-name Wranglands Drain in Appleton Roebuck and Wranglands in Preston in Holderness. The use of ‘wrang land’ as a vocabulary item seems to be implicit in a North Riding conveyance of 1613 in which six acres of arable, meadow and pasture in the common fields of Huntington included<i> a brode wrangland … lying between six narrow wranglands </i>(NRQS4/143). In South Cave in 1618 <i>a wrangland of wheat</i> was valued at 10s in the inventory of John Marshall (Kaner270). </br> Other references are to very early place-names and they possibly record pre-Conquest uses of the term. In 1202, for example, Robt <i>de Thorenton</i> granted to William <i>de Barton dim. acram terrae cum pert. in Wrangelandes,</i> Thornton le Clay (SS94//69). An undated thirteenth-century deed mentions <i>Wrangelandes</i> in Tunstall near Catterick (YRS65/155) and fourteenth-century examples include<i> Wranglandes </i>in Marston near York (YRS50/117) and <i>Wranglands</i> in Preston in Holderness (PNER). ‘Wrang’ was also the specific element in the undated thirteenth-century reference to<i> Wrangeflath</i> in Normanby (SS83/72), <i>le Wrangakere</i> in Everley in 1290-1 (YRS69/45) and the<i> selion called Wrangstang </i>in Drax in 1352 (YRS76/65).
