Winslow's response to the 29 articles, 1646

National Archives, SP28/151

In 1646, with Bucks firmly under the control of Parliament and Charles I in the hands of the Scots, the County Committee started to look into making reparations for the losses which had been suffered during the fighting (although they were still imposing heavy taxation to pay for the army). They sent round a printed pro forma of 29 Articles, and the replies of many parishes have survived. The return for Winslow is the most substantial piece of evidence about what the town suffered during the Civil War, and is especially useful for the specific dates which it provides for the arrival of leading figures in the Parliamentary Army including the relatively unimportant (at the time he came to Winslow) Colonel Oliver Cromwell (read more about him on the Cromwell Association website). When he came in February 1644 he was on his way to the assault on Hillesden House. His second visit around Michaelmas was in the month before the Second Battle of Newbury, when Parliament was trying to put pressure on the Royalist stronghold of Oxford.

Some explanatory notes have been added below in italics. We haven't at present got the text of the 29 Articles but the nature of most of the questions can be reconstructed from the answer. The names written in the margins were the people who could confirm the expenditure which was claimed. For more information, see Ian Beckett, Wanton Troopers: Buckinghamshire in the Civil Wars 1640-1660 (Barnsley: Pen & Sword, 2015). We've also got responses from Adstock, Addington, Little Horwood, Maids Moreton, Middle Claydon, Nash, Wing and Padbury; more to follow. There are also some separate records for Granborough. See also Civil War accounts of Thomas Tyrrell, 1643-46 (which mention some of the payments recorded on this page).

National Archives, SP28/151

By vertue of a warrant directed from the Com(m)ittie for takinge the Accounts of this Countie of Bucks accordinge to an Ordinance of Parliament dated 22th Febr: 1643, we the inhabitants of Addington have returned o(u)^r answeres to the 29 Articles th(e)rein expressed, as we are able for the p(re)sent (after so longe a tract of time) to make anie replie. And o(u)^r answere is as followeth

Imp(rimi)s & 2^d we cannot now recall to mind what sum(m)e of monie was assessed for the Subsidies mentioned in the two first articles : but the sum(m)s assessed were payde to such Collect(o)^rs as were appoynted to receive the same & who were the collect(o)^rsthereof we cannot p(re)cisely remember

3 To the 3^dArticle we answer that the sum(m)e assessed was 17^li 4^s 1^d & the sum(m)e assessed was payde accordingly & further we cannot answere.

4 To the 4th we say that we remember not what sum(m)e was assessed, subscribed or lent upon the Act expressed in that Article.

5 O(u)r answere to the 5th Article that we remember not what sum(m)e was payde or given for the cause expressed in that Article.

6 To the 6th we say that Robert Busbie Esq^r lent 50^li gratis, for the cause expressed in that Article; w(hi)^ch mony was payde to Colonell Goodwin now deceased. [margin : Goodwin] And Robert Whitehall Clerke did subcribe for & pay 100^li to those w(hi)^chwere appoynted to be Collect(o)^rsthereof; namely 50^lito Richard Grenvile Esq^rthen high Sheriffe of the Countie of Bucks & 50^li more was payde to John Warner & Lawrence Halstead Citiecens of London. [margin : Greenfil] And this monie was payde according to An act of Parliament for the subduinge & reducing of the rebells of Ireland.

7 We collected & payde to M^r Peacock for the recontenance[?] of the British armie 18^li & 1^s. This monie was payde June 20 1646. [margin : Peacock]

8 We assessed & payde 8^li 2^s 9^dfor the 1st part of the 400000lⁱ but who were ~~sub~~collectors thereof we remember not now

9 We returne the like answere to the 9 Article

10 We beleeve that there was not anie plate or moneyes subscribed or lent or payde according \to/ the 10th Article because M^rBusbie saith he borrowed severall sum(m)s, & still doth upon interest & the other inhabitants are poore

11 We answere to the 11th that we beleeve there was no light horse, dragoones, armes or other p(ro)visions subscribed for upon the p(ro)posic(i)ons for the reason given in the last p(re)cedent. But there was a teame of 4 horses, with their harnesse, (all worth 22^li) taken from M^rBusby by a partie of souldiers com(m)anded by S(i)r Rob(er)t Pye the yonger, he then beinge at Addington with them. [margin : Pye] And a blacke geldinge taken from him at anoth(e)^r time by a souldier, under the com(m)and of Captaine Greenvile (as he sayde) for redemption whereof M^rBusbies servant payde 10^s. There was likewise a horse worth 10^li taken from John Meakes by the souldiers under com(m)and of S(i)r Rob(er)t Pye & was listed by the com(m)and of Colonell Goodwin & Colonell Bulstrod who p(ro)mised John Meakes to repay the price of his horse [margin : Goodwin & Bulstrod]

12 To the 12th we say that M^r Busbie paid for his whole 20th 5 part 130^li to M^rRichard Baldwin, one of the treasurers for this Countie : & 2 horses valued at 23^li to be repayde upon the publiq faith were had of him. Also Robert Whitehall Clarke payde 30^li in monie, & 3 horses valued at 30^li (for w(hi)^ch he hath the publiq faith) the whole sum(m)e 60 payde for his 20th & 5 part.

13 We say to the 13th Article that we were charged w(i)th no revew for the 20th & 5 part.

14 We answere to the 14th Article as we have to the 8 & 9.

15 To the 15th we say that we were charged w(i)^th no sum(m)e of monie for the sending of anie forces to Redinge.

[margin : Ennis] And John Meakes had a mare taken from him by Newport souldiers for w(hi)^ch he payde 9^s to have her returned to him. We payd for diggers at Newport 3^li 12^s, & for beddinge 3^li; we beleeve also that we were charged w(i)th more particulars w(hi)^chwe cannot now expresly remember, because the acquittances were taken from us by the souldiers.

17. To the 17th o(u)^r answere is that Colonell Ven & Colonell Whichcott did lay no charge upon us for the mayntenance of the Garison in the castle of Winsor; nor (to o(u)^r knowledge) were we charged w(i)^th anie free quarters for their souldiers.

18. Hereto we answere that by vertue of a Warrant from Colonell Aldridge we payde 30^sfor the carryinge of wood & hay into the Garison of Aylesburie. [margin : Aldridge] Also the inhabitants of Addington were put to 100^li charges at the least, when Captayne Abercromy made & kept the Garison at Addington for the space of 6 weekes.

19. We have payde for contribution at Aylesburie \since/ since December 25, 1644 as followeth 25^li 5^s 11^dto M^r Peacocke to M^r Winde 39^li 3^s 9^d, to M^r Baldwin 13^li 16^sto Captaine Phips 4^li 17^s 10^d, as may appeare by severall acquittances & as for anie moneyes paid before for contribution there, we cannot recall to mind, because o(u)^r acquittances were taken away by souldiers, or otherwise lost [margin : Peacock, Winde, Baldwin, Phipp]

20. ~~We say~~ to the 20th we say that we made some payments for the reliefe of maymed souldiers, but the sum(m)e we remember not.
