A reference is made to carrying ore from Baxenden (near Accrington) to Bradford (in Salford), but there is no evidence that lead was ever worked or discovered there, so probably the ore was imported from some lead-mining district. Sea-coal (_carbones maris_) is thrice mentioned as being paid for in the Cliviger and Colne district, where it had no doubt been dug up. The Compotus of the Earl of Lincoln contains many details referring to the various vaccaries in his holding; each of these was looked after by an _instaurator_, or bailiff, who lived generally at the Grange, whilst his various assistants occupied the humbler "booths." Accrington vaccary may be accepted as a sample; there were there when the stock was taken on January 26, 1297, 106 cows, 3 bulls, 24 steers, 24 heifers, 31 yearlings, and 46 calves. In this, as in all the other vaccaries, many cattle died from murrain, and some fell victims to the wolves which infested all the forests.
