Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Register of the Priory of Wetherhal: Edited With Introduction and Notes

Some confusion is caused by the great variations of spelling, both in place names and personal names. When references or quotations are given, the spelling there used is retained and not necessarily that of the charter.

There are mistakes in the language and in the letters of the words of the charters, due to the transcriber or the original writer. These in some very glaring instances have been corrected.

Excerpt from The Register of the Priory of Wetherhal: Edited With Introduction and Notes

It is perhaps natural that a member of the Cathedral Church of Carlisle should take a special interest in the Register of the Priory of Wetherhal, whose property was transferred to that Church 350 years ago. A careful examination shewed that this Register had a more than ordinary value. It did not merely present the ancient deeds of certain lands and privileges. Its early charters, of older date than any local documents now extant, had historic importance. A very incorrect opinion of these charters has been formed even in later days, and from them very erroneous deductions have been drawn. Again, the number of local references was found to be large; and the names of persons recorded in the charters unusually numerous. Some of these are persons who are here mentioned for the first time; others are characters well known in early English History. Much of this importance is, no doubt, due to the connection of the Priory with the famous Abbey of S. Mary at York.

The error in the local histories, which ascribed the conquest of the district to William I. instead of William Rufus, has been refuted by Lappenberg and Dr Luard.
