| Title | Resourceful villeins: the Cellarer family of Wawne in Holderness |
| Date | 1976 |
| Abstract | In 1356 Richard Cellarer claimed that he and his cousins were not villeins of the Abbey of Meaux but of the King. After several enquiries by the escheator of Holderness and various royal commissions, and after imprisonment by the monds and escapes, he lost his case in 1361. The ancestry and connections of his family are examined and a similar revolt of villeins at Beeford is described. Hostility to the abbey by influential neighbours may account for support given to the Cellarers |
