Excerpt from Temple Newsam: Its History Ad Antiquties Comprising an Account of the Ancient Preceptory of KnightsColton), Cospatric, a Saxon noble, who was banished for his share in resisting the Normans, had possessed four and a half carucates of land that were liable to taxation, and on which he maintained three ploughs.* When it fell into the hands Of the Normans it was a wilderness, rated at although in King Edward's time it had been worth 4os. NO meadow or pasture-land is mentioned, except wood-pasture, but we are told that then there was a church upon the manor, and it is not improbable that it was the White Kirk around which the village so named is now gathered.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
