The living is a rectory, in the archdeaconry of Leicester, and diocese of Lincoln, rated in the kings's books at ?8. 8. 4., and in the patronage of the Rev. Mr. Browne. The church is dedicated to All Saints. Rotherby Hall is the seat of Samuel Seaman Esquire . ********************************************************************** **** * Alice Bailey was the heir of John Bailey according to the heralds visitation of Leicestershire in 1619. This is undoubtedly how the Wase family came into the Rotherby property. Lay Subsidy 1 Edward III(1327) John Le Wardes (? Bailiff) 2d (this could be the original John Bailey) The property is likely to have been in the hands of the family since at least 1368:- ( Hastings MSS: Sunday before Mark 42 Edward III (23 Apr 1368) John Baylif of Rotherby witness to charter between Robert of Rolleston, parson and John Barowe of Rotherby) The name Bailey is occupational from the Old French Balif (acc.) Balli (nom),a free man, the appointed representative of an absenttee Lord of the Manor who lived in the manor house and administered the manor on behalf of his Lord. In the 13th century he would have been payed about ?6 per annum as opposed to a ploughman's 8s. [ P.H.Rainey " The Origins of English Surnames] Lay subsidy rolls :133 - 26 Poll Tax 1377 --------------------------------------------------------------------- John servant of John Baly 4d Edward servant of John Bayly 4d John Bayley; fermer 8d NB fermer or farmer :- Someone who paid the Lord of The Manor a fixed sum of money in return for administering and receiving the rents, dues and profis from a manor. As the property passed with her widowhood it seems likely that her marriage to William Hill, Merchant of the Calais Staple was without issue. It would be interesting to search for any will of William Hill, such a will if it exists, (unlikely) would fix the date of her marriage.
