The following materials in the Staffordshire Record Office (hereafter SRO) have been employed in studying the middling in Pattingham: local rating lists and accounts of constables, churchwardens and overseers, D3451/2/2; D3451/2/3; D3451/2/4-59; D3451/5/ 2-46; D3451/6/1; D 3451/6/2-42; settlement documents, D3451/5/61-126, 223-45; other parish materials in D3451/5/308, D3451/8/10; a few accounts and a few wills in D(W)1807, roll 381 and Transcripts of Pattingham Court Rolls D(W)1807, nos. 160-293; Transcripts of Staffordshire Quarter Sessions Rolls, nos. 16-34; occasional original sessions rolls for the later seventeenth and early eighteenth century (Q/SR); Quarter Sessions Order Books (Q/SO), ii-vii, x-xiv (i, viii and ix are not extant); Quarter Sessions Minute Books, Q/SM/e/i, pts. i and ii; and wills and inventories in Staffordshire Joint Record Office, Lichfield (hereafter SJRO); the hearth tax in PRO, E.179/256/31 ; H.R. Thomas (ed.), The Pattingham Parish Register, 1559-1812 (Staffordshire Parish Register Society, 1934).

This is based on a study of the land tax records and poll books for Little Munden cited in n. 6 and on the wills and inventories for the parish. The poll books make it possible to trace those entitled to vote because they held freehold in Little Munden but who resided elsewhere and Little Munden residents who held freehold in other parishes. Such men have also been traced in the land tax records of some neighbouring parishes, especially Great Munden, Sacombe and Watton; these records are also found, classified by parish, on microform in HRO.

See the sources cited in n. 10. Such patterns appear similar to Charles Phythian-Adams's description of 'lineage families' spread over a 'local society' composed of a number of parishes; see his essay 'An Agenda for English Local History', in Phythian-Adams, ed., Societies, Cultures and Kinship, 1580-1850: Cultural Provinces and English Local History (Leicester, 1993), esp. pp. 19-20.

For Gissing see Joan R. Kent, The English Village Constable: A Social and Administrative Study (Oxford, 1986), pp. 88, 128-9. Some Shelton wills contain evidence of the middling holding property in another parish, sometimes in several, and such patterns may have been fairly common in that parish too; see the following wills in microform in NNRO (Shirehall): MF 224/W 172; MF 225/W 104; MF 221/W 7; MF 225/W 166; MF 219/W 149; MF 223/W 128; MF 213/W 5; MF 222/W 65. A few Pattingham wills contain references to land-holdings in other settlements; but most land in this manor apparently continued to be held in copy-hold, and small transfers within the manor were more common than the acquisition of property in other parishes.

This is based on a study of estate documents (wills and/or inventories) for fifty Pattingham men whose estates were probated between the 1660s and the 1770s; most are found in SJRO, but two wills and four inventories from the early eighteenth century are among the Pattingham court papers in SRO, D(W) 1778/V/1363. The various chambers mentioned are found in the following wills/inventories: James Brown of Copley, gent, (24th May 1701), Benjamin White (22nd January 1705/6), John Smith of Nurton, yeoman (28th July 1709); the yellow bed belonged to William Barker, gent (28th April 1742); and see William Hardwicke of Great More, gent (17th June 1740) and Francis Taylor (11th May 1745).

There was ringing and thanksgiving at the news of peace in Pattingham in 1697-8 and 1712-13, while other occasions of thanksgiving, 'good news' and 'joyful news' recorded by churchwardens there in 1706, 1708-9 and 1713-14 probably marked turning points in English military engagements during the course of the War of the Spanish Succession (SRO, D3451/2/7, 22; D3451/2/16, 18, 23); the churchwardens also paid the ringers for a thanksgiving day in 1746-7 (D3451/2/53).

An order issued by two justices in May 1710 for the removal of William Dean and eight children from Church Eaton to Pattingham was appealed to Translation sessions, 1711 and heard and decided in Pattingham's favour at Michaelmas sessions 1711; but by then the Deans apparently had been moved to Pattingham and they were to cost the parish a substantial sum between that time and Dean's death in 1716-17; see SRO, Q/SO, xi (Translation and Michaelmas, 1711); D3451/ 5/ 20-25; D(W)1807, Roll 381 (overseers' accounts, 1713-14); D3451/2/22.

HRO, D/P7/5/1,p. 187; SJRO, Thomas Southall, 10th December 1686; LRO, DE 73/PR/T: 1691/73. Jones suggests that there were attacks on charity schools in rural areas and that middle class farmers did not support instruction for poor children (e.g. Charity Schools, p. 95); and attitudes may have changed by the third and fourth decades of the eighteenth century.

The act 9 Geo II, c. 7, an act for amending the laws relating to settlement, employment and relief of the poor, authorized parishes to establish workhouses and probably was passed in response to local pressures. On the Pattingham workhouse see SRO, D3451/5/ 38, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 46 (overseers' accounts); and on the Ashwell workhouse see HRO, D/P7/25/1 (Ashwell charities) and the overseers' accounts D/P7/12/2. The workhouses in Pattingham and Ashwell are also discussed, in a somewhat different context, in Kent, 'The Centre and the Localities'.

HRO, D/P7/25/1, 8th February 1727/8. The values expressed here seem to be in keeping with those described by Timothy Hitchcock, the modern expert on the SPCK, the workhouse movement of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, and the philosophy behind such institutions. I regret that I have not had an opportunity to read Dr. Hitchcock's Oxford D. Phil, thesis, 'The English Workhouse: A Study in Institutional Poor Relief in Selected Counties, 1696-1750' (1985); but see Hitchcock, 'Paupers and Preachers'.

Property, authority and the criminal law

A view advanced by Douglas Hay, 'Property, Authority and the Criminal Law', in Hay et al, Albion's Fatal Tree: Crime and Society in Eighteenth-Century England (London and New York, 1975), 17-63; but his view has been challenged by several historians. See especially the criticisms in Peter King, 'Decision-Makers and Decision-Making in the English Criminal Law, 1750-1800', Historical Journal, 27 (1984), 25-58, which emphasizes the role of people at various social levels in the criminal justice system.

The years 1739-42 were characterized by scarcity and high prices, and apparently not just in Staffordshire; see Beattie, Crime and the Courts, pp. 207-11, and references cited there. In Pattingham where burials averaged 15 a year during the decade 1731-40, with a low of 8 in 1731 and a high of 21 in 1733 and 1740, the number rose to 36 in 1741, Thomas (ed.), Pattingham Parish Register, pp. 173-8. These calculations are based on a calendar year beginning 1st January; but if one follows the register and contemporary practice and begins the year on 25th March, the number of burials in both 1740 and 1741 was high, at 29 and 34, respectively, with the average for the previous ten years just under 15 and the range 10-18.

Some were bound over to keep the peace, sometimes because of assaults or affrays , e.g. HRO, QSR 6, no. 221 ; QSR 7, nos. 158, 167; Hertford County Records, v, 342; SRO, Q/SO, v, 290, 292; vi, 234; xiii (Mich. 1729). In other cases they were indicted for giving hospitality to wandering people or taking inmates or possessing cottages without four acres of land. Presentments of this kind continued to be made to the court leet in Pattingham through 1660, when the leet records end, SRO, Transcripts of Pattingham Court Rolls, D (W)1807. For such presentments to quarter sessions from Little Munden during the 1690s, see HRO, QSR 23, nos. 72, 78, 438; QSR 24, no. 259.

Offences such as enclosing wastes, 'overpressing' the commons with sheep and diverting or obstructing water courses were common in the Pattingham Court Rolls through the 1660s, as long as records of leet business are extant, and probably continued thereafter, D (W) 1807; presentments of some of the middling of Little Munden were returned to quarter sessions for such offences as late as 1700; see Hertford County Records, i. 391, 395; ii. 28 (2), 30; vii. 63. Such presentments probably were often made to the justices at petty sessions, and dealt with there, and thus would not appear in sessions records; and in Hertfordshire this would have been especially true after the abolition of hundred juries in 1714.

Introduction
-
Jonathan Barry suggests that the middling sort in the towns were all able to read by the late seventeenth century, 'Introduction', in Barry and Brooks (eds.), The Middling Sort of People, p. 19. Perhaps this was true in the countryside as well, though it seems unlikely; and if so, abilities did not always extend to writing.

note
-
Evidence of continuing illiteracy among some men of middling status is based on signatures and marks on wills, both of testators and witnesses, on inventories, parish accounts and vestry agreements, local rating lists and in some cases local assessments for national taxes such as the land tax.

Loyalty and identity in Chester parishes 1540-1640
-
S. J. Wright (ed.), London
-
Nick Alldridge, 'Loyalty and Identity in Chester parishes 1540-1640', in S. J. Wright (ed.), Parish, Church and People : Local Studies in Lay Religion 1350-1750 (London, 1988), p. 108 indicates that the title 'mister' often accompanied the holding of major office in Chester parishes, and this appears to have been true in country parishes too by the end of the seventeenth century.

chapter 9, quotation
-
Shoemaker, Prosecution and Punishment, chapter 9, quotation at pp. 257-8. John Beattie also draws attention to demands for more systematic prosecution under the criminal law between 1689 and 1718, especially in London, though he is dealing with a somewhat higher social and political level. He argues that some back-bench MPs, perhaps prompted by their constituents, and in the case of London, grand juries (composed of merchants, shopkeepers and substantial tradesmen), were behind demands for more effective punishments and that they called for a 'much firmer line than the authorities and the courts were taking'. See his 'London Crime and the Making of the "Bloody Code", 1689-1718', in L. Davison et al (eds.), Stilling the Grumbling Hive, pp. 49-76, quotation at p. 51.
