[w.j
Prince about the year 11] 6, to make inquest of the possessions of the cliurch of Glasgow, that the
lands of ' Quendal ' belonged to that see in old times.^ There is not much room for doubt that
Quendal is to be identified with the Wandal of after days ; but it does not appear that the suc-
cessors of Saint Kentigern held any right in the parochial benefice or its advowson, which seems
rather to have belonged to the lord of the manor of Hertesheuede.
The rectory of Hartsyde is taxed in Baiamund's Roll, at £G6, 13s. 4d. j^ in the Taxatio Ec-
clesiae Scotticanae sec. xvi., at J58 j^ and in the Libellus Taxationum Regni Scotiae, at £16, 13s.
4d. At the Reformation, the parson, Master Nichol Crawford, reported that the benefice yielded
four chalders and six boils of meal yearly, including fourteen bolls paid to the Cald Chapel ; and
that the whole was let to the laird of Liftnories for £G6, 13s. 4d.^ The church stood at the
northern extremity of the parish.^
The dependent chapel of the Cald or Cat stood on the Hawkwood burn, near the Rammallweil
Craio-s, where a bridge was ordered to be built on the Clyde in the year 1661.^ A barrow, about
five yards in height and twenty in diameter, stood in its neighbourhood, beside another of less di-
mensions, which, on being levelled, was found to cover sepulchral remains.''
The parochial territory seems, from an early period, to have been divided into two portions. The
smaller, then known by the name of Quendal, was found to belong to the see of Glasgow about the
year 1116;* and it appears to have continued in the possession of the bishopric until after the year
1484-5.^ The larger moiety of Hartesheued belonged to a family who took name from the lands.
' 'William of Hertesheuede, sheriff of Lanark,' appears as a witness to charters of King Alex-
ander II., dated at Cadyow, in the year 1225.'" ' Alan of Hertisheued ' is witness to a charter by
David bishop of Saint Andrews in the year 1240 ;'ii and in the year 1296, Aleyn of Herteshede
swore fealty to King Edward I. for his lands in the Merse.'- In the year 1359, the barony of
Hertysheuid was in the ward of the crown.i^ King David II., between the years 1329 and 1370,
granted to William of Jardine (de Gardino,) the ancestor of the knightly house of Applegarth, the
lands and barony of Hertishuyde in the shire of Lanark.'-* With his descendants it continued until
the rei^n of King Charles I., when it passed to the family of Douglas.'s In the year 1491, the
forty shilling lands of Ilartside were let in lease by John Jardin of Apilgirth to Sir John the Ross
of Montgrenan knight, and his tenants.i^ John Jardane of Apilgirth, in the year 1613, was served
heir to his father, Sir Alexander, ' in the lands and barony of Hartsyde, otherwise Wandell, with
the mills and advowson of churches, of the old extent of forty pounds; excepting always the eight
merk land of Wandelldyik ; the twenty-five shilling land, of the six merk and ten shilling lands
of Cauldchapell otherwise Burnefute; the three merk land of the aforesaid six merk land, and ten
