  Biographical Information	This Thomas Brigham, the first of many, is the earliest of the Brighams of Holme-on-Spalding-Moor of whom record has been found. The Book "The History of the Brigham Family" records that as Thomas Brigham Senior, he appears on the rental roll of the Manor of Home in 1528 as holding "one toft and orchard, a barn, a close called Leyrepitts, and half a bovat of land called Salvan Lands" for which he paid yearly 14s 8d. Letters close are a type of legal document which is a closed letter issued by a monarch granting a right, title, or status to someone. These letters were delivered folded sealed. The seal as it will be destroyed when the letter is opened and shows that the letter has not been tampered with. However, in being destroyed the seal can no longer ratify the authenticity of the document. A bovat was a piece of land, which could be cultivated by one ox in a day. Holme-on-Spalding-Moor (also known as Holme-upon-Spalding-Moor) is a small village and civil parish in the in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Spalding Moor was a marsh, dominated by a single hill which consists of Keuper marl; a layer of clay formed in the late Triassic (Keuper) period. On the hill a small church was built in the 13th century. The village was built on the holme around the church, hence the name. In terms of major cities, the village is closest to York which is just under 20 miles away.
