Manorial Roll 1643 - Cottages in Castletown - KK Malew
Cottages in Castletown - KK Malew 1643
This table is extracted from J. Roscow "The Development of Castletown 1601 to 1703" Proc IoMNH&AS vol XI #1 p5/28 2000 - note that names have been 'normalised' to the modern spelling of Manx family names.
1643 was when James 7th earl of Derby altered the tenure such that tennants could choose to hold for three lives or 21 years (paying different fines). The change of land tenure was probably the major reason for the lack of support given to his wife in defending Castle Rushen and was rectified by the 1702 Act of Settlement which doubled rentals of Quarterland farms but left unaltered that of cottages.
The sequence and rent allows comparision of holders with other years (1506,1511,1557 and 1600) - see 1703 and 1704 Composition Book.for putative identification of location and the new sequence number in later manorial Rolls.
