Cartulary of prosperous community of Byland, with lands in the
North Riding of Yorkshire, Westmorland, and the south of Yorkshire
and early interest in iron mining. The Cistercian community that
finally settled at New Byland in Yorkshire had a turbulent start,
fighting and feuding with neighbours, but after 1177 a more settled
period followed, and Byland grew to enjoy considerable
prosperitythrough the lands it acquired in the North Riding of
Yorkshire, Westmorland, and in the south of Yorkshire where, with
Rievaulx Abbey, Byland was instrumental in the development of iron
mining. In the early years of the fifteenthcentury the monks of
Byland compiled a cartulary, containing copies of their muniments.
The current volume contains a full English calendar of the
cartulary, with detailed notes on the documents. The cartulary
copies are discussedin relation to the considerable number of
original charters surviving from Byland, and antiquarian
collections that contain copies of Byland documents no longer
extant. The Introduction provides a detailed study of Byland's
estates and economic activity, as well as its patrons and
benefactors. JANET BURTON is Reader in Medieval History, University
of Wales Lampeter.
