Note 374 — Chapter I · THE NEW RURAL ECONOMY

e.g. at Acklington (Northumberland County History, vol. v.), of which Clarkson the surveyor writes: “Neither is there any demaine lands or demaine meadows, but all is occupied together in husbandry"; at Birling (ibid.): “There is no demaine land or meadow, with all their husbandlands and meadows appertaining to the same"; apparently also at High Buston. Compare Vinogradoff, Villainage in England, p. 316: “Villages without a manorial demesne ... are found ... where the power of the lord was more a political than an economical one" (Norfolk and Suffolk, Lincoln, Northumberland, Westmoreland, &c.). For a manor where the demesne is kept in the hand of the lord in 1568 for the reason given above, see Roxburghe Club, Surveys of Pembroke Manors, Manor of Washerne.
