ELLESBOROUGH 191 regard to the Upper Exchequer, it is supposed to have been in existence in the time of the Anglo Saxon Kings. 1 In this Court the " Chief Justicier" presided, by reason of his office. There were, besides the Great Exchequer, some subordinate receipts or places of revenue, called also Exchequers : one was at Worcester ;'- and besides that at Winchester, others at Northampton, Shrewsbury, and York. 3 In the King's Court of the Exchequer the Sovereign presided i...n person, with the Chancellor, Treasurer, and Barons ; and this continued until 9 Hen. III. when the expence and inconvenience of the removal of the Court from place to place, whithersoever the King went, occasioned its being permanently established at Westminster, by the great Charter of 11 Hen. III. instead of following the movements of the Court.* In the Pedigree of the Family, who (in whatever manner their name might have been acquired) were the undoubted possessors of this place, " Elias de Scaccariis sive de Chequers," is placed at the head ; and Henry, his son, held lands here, at the beginning of the reign of Henry III.
