1 gen 1650 anni - byrdale

Descrizione:

The word ‘dole’ and its northern spelling ‘dale’ were commonly applied in the past to portions of land in the town fields, that is the plough-land and pasture held in common. In parts of the West Riding the compound ‘byrdale’ dates from the thirteenth century: n.d. <i>quinque byrdall terre iacentis in Australi parte illius campi</i>, Lepton (WBD/4/5); 1437 <i>iacent’ in byerdole in le more de overwhitlay</i> (WBD/9/8); 1483 <i>inter Le Byrdoles et le holme</i>, Dalton (M/D). By the sixteenth century this word was linked regularly with ‘fields’ which refers specifically to land under the plough: 1523<i> towching the exchaunge and delyng of all such landdes as lygges dewydele </i>[sic]<i> in the biredole feldes</i>, Stainland (YRS50/176); 1579 <i>no man shall tether nor yate on our biardoll feildes until all the corne be ridd owte</i>, Dewsbury (YAJ21/411). It probably remained in use as long as the open field system survived: 1650 <i>two doles of land lyinge in Byerdole in a place called the Carrheades,</i> Lepton (WBD/4/193).
