Descrição:

This traditional tax on houses in Scarborough suggests that ‘gabelle’ meaning tax may have been confused with ‘gable’ as part of the house. The term can be traced to 1155-63 when Henry II granted liberties to the town on the understanding that each house with its gable towards the street (<i>cujus gabulum est tornatum adversus viam</i>) should pay him 4d, and those with the side towards the street 6d (EYCh2/284): 1250 ‘the said eight messuages ... yielded to the King in gabelage by the year 3s 10d; but now ... included in one messuage, they ought ... to yield <i>nomine unius Gabulagii</i> sixpence’ (YRS12/22); 1307 ‘The messuage is held of the King, and pays him 6d a year <i>pro gabulagio suo’</i> (YRS37/143); 1407 ‘land in the street called <i>Paradyse</i> ... Paying the gabulage due to the King’ (ERAS19/16); 1546 <i>to the baylyffe there for a certen rent callyd gabulage</i> (SS91/137); 1601-2 ‘to the bailiffs of Scarborough for the gabulage and all other rents falling due’ (NYRO47/10). Writing about Scarborough in 1697 Abraham de la Pryme said<i> this custome of gavelage is a certain tribute that every house pays</i> (SS54/126). Similarly, the custom in Malton <i>c</i>.1450 was that <i>every Burgese schall gyff to the Lord ... a farme for hys tenement, the qwhyche is called the gaffelege</i> (SS85/63). Note: <i>c</i>.1311 ‘paying 1d at Christmas for all services saving husgable to the king’, York (YRS39/216); 1357 <i>Item pro husgabelle iiijd</i>, York (SS129/10).
