"Martindale was a separate and independent manor, till it was granted by Queen Elizabeth to the Earl of Sussex as parcel of the barony of Barton; she reserving to herself and her successors grass for her pad when she came to hunt there; under this tenure it was bought by Sir Christopher Musgrave, along with the rest of the barony of Barton. The manor consists of small tenements, lying in different little glens, (such as Fuesdale, Boardale, Sandwich, &c.) those lands called the Forest excepted. The forest lands are held on the common forest tenure; the tenants having what grass they can take with the sythe. They likewise covenant not to drive the lord's deer out of it at any time of the year ..." |

Towards its head, this valley splits into two parts; and in one of these (that to the left) there is no house, nor any building to be seen but a cattle-shed on the side of a hill, which is sprinkled over with trees, evidently the remains of an extensive forest. Near the entrance of the other division stands the house where we were entertained, and beyond the enclosures of that farm there are no other. A few old trees remain, relics of the forest, a little stream hastens, though with serpentine windings, through the uncultivated hollow, where many cattle were pasturing. The cattle of this country are generally white, or light-coloured; but these were dark brown, or black, which heightened the resemblance this scene bears to many parts of the Highlands of Scotland. - While we paused to rest upon the hill-side, though well contented with the quiet every-day sounds - the lowing of cattle, bleating of sheep, and the very gentle murmuring of the valley stream, we could not but think what a grand effect" goto source page 127 "the music of the bugle-horn would have among these mountains. It is still heard once every year, at the chase I have spoken of; a day of festivity for the inhabitants of this district except the poor deer, the most ancient of them all. Our ascent even to the top was very easy; when it was accomplished we had exceedingly fine views, ..." |

hearsay:- |
Between 1706 and 1739 there were 36 wild cats killed in Martindale; there was a bounty
on their heads at this time. |
|
The bounty set on moles was three pence per acre to the parish molecatcher, 1566.
But in Martindale, 1826, a shilling an acre was allowed for moles that presumed to
burrow in the churchyard. |
