To the list, It has been suggested to me that this description of the customs etc of the manor of Ennerdale could be of interest to a wider audience. It apears to be taken from an enquiry into the rights of the Lord and those of the tenants. It would appear that he had been trying it on and all the "old worthies" were called upon to give their evidence. William Mossop [Moscrop] has left us a record of what these tithes were in the 18th century. "A just and true account of all small Tithes and moduses Collected within the Townships of Ennerdale and Kinniside for time Immemorial and Collected and received by me William Mossop for my father and self who farmed the Tithes of the Langton family and John Christian Curwen, Esq., and Mr John Cuthbertson the present owner thereof from the year 1758 to 1798 (with only three years interval) viz. Lambs, Wool, Geese, and Pigs paid in kind, for 4 calves and under two pence each and calves Two shillings and sixpence six calves four shillings fourpence and two pence each calf to fourteen inclusive if a calf die one penny for the milk an old cow one halfpenny. For Foal two pence for Bees Twopence each cast for every House.f keeper one hen or sixpence if demanded on Saint Thomas day. Plough one penny, Garth one half-penny, oblations one penny and one half-penny, for every person of Sixteen years or upwards and a certain perscription or modus for every Tenement within the said Townships in lieu of all Predial Tithes.
