""I Edward Walker of Wathwaineath, in the parish of Barton, doth acknowledge myself to be indebted and owing unto Edward Clarke the sum of twelve pounds King's money, which I promise by myself, my heirs, and assigns, to pay. In test whereof is my name, the 27th day of June 1566. / EDWARD WALKER."" "I have often thought that this place had its name Yanwath, q.d. One-Wath, from its being the only wath or ford practicable for carriages at that time. That it was so, is evident from the bank at Emont Bridge, which was then too steep for any loaded waggon to ascend, and this the name of Wathwaineath, in which wain or waggon is particularly expressed, farther signifies. Yanwath belongs to Lord Lonsdale, and the tenants are arbitrary, paying suit and service at the Hall. It formerly belonged to the Dudleys, on of whom was Attorney-General to Queen Elizabeth: It was sold by them to Sir John Lowther about the year 1654, and has continued in that family ever since." |
