? The Thornhills.
In the early part of the reign of Henry III., John de ‘‘ Torhil” was holding half a knight’s fee of the honour of Pontefract. (Testa de Nevil, p. 365.) Simon, son of Sir Brian de Thornhill, knight of the shire, left an only d. Eliza- beth, m. 45 Edw. III. to Henry Savile, and Thornhill passed to the Saviles. Sir Henry Savile, who d. 23 April, 1558, was seised of the manor of Thornhill, 20 mess. and 5 cotts., and 4,000 acres of land, held of the honour as a quarter of a knight’s fee. The hall here was their residence for many generations, but no- thing remains of it but some walls with Perpendicular windows. (See plate in Loidis and Elmete, p. 310, also one of the Savile chapel in Thornhill church.) Glover gives the arms he found in the house in 1585. (Harl. MS., 1394.)

6 Wakefield seems, even so far back as the Norman Conquest, to have been the chief town and trade centre of this wapentake. It probably grew from a hamlet of artificers, who settled by the only bridge or regular ferry across the Calder, that on the line of a much-fre- quented Koman road. But the particular site had been a field, as in the case of Sheffield and Huddersfield, names which contain no indication of habitation, though now great centres of population. Those artificers probably derived their skill from local craftsmen in Roman times, when we know smiths and smelters and coiners had been at work hereabouts. The manor had belonged to king Edward the Confessor, with exten- sive soke rights, berwicks, and other de- pendent lands in Morley as well as this wapentake, a jurisdiction some remains of which exist still, In 1086 the Con- queror, as the successor of king Edward, was still retaining Wakefield ; but before long it was granted either by him or Rufus to William de Warenue, Earl of Surrey, with nearly if not all its privi- leges and franchises.
