Chinelton Kineldestowe and Newbold PArt of this Town in the Book of Doomsday is said to be of Walter de Ayncurts Fee and of the Soc of Graneby where his Seat was in this County it was rated to the Tax or Geld as seven Bovats The Land was two Carucats There was nine Sochm. four Bord. having three Car. or Plows and seven Oxen plowing or draught Oxen and twenty Acres of Medow Another part of Chinelton is there certified to be of the Land of the Taynes where one Azor before the Conquest was rated to the Dane-geld at one Bov. for his Mannor The Land whereof was three Bovats The son of Azor held it afterwards of the King and there had three Vill. with three Oxen plowing and three Acres of Medow In King Edward the Confessours time the value of this was 10s. in the Conquerours 2s. 8d. By what appears in Hickling it may well be concluded that the Family of Fancurt held Deyncourts Fee in this place but it is certain enough that Gerard de Fancourt held a Knights Feâ— of Oliver de Aynecurt in Hickling and Kinalton Adam de Sutton Prior of Thurgarton for 18s. of Silver yearly by the consent of the whole Covent granted and confirmed to Raph de Fanecurt all the Land which the said Raph held in the Town and Territory of Kinalton of Sir Gerard son of Sir Elias de Fanecurt Elias de Franencurth gave twelve Bovats in the Territory of Newbold to the Abby of Swinshead in Lincolnshire which King Henry the second confirmed as he did also in this same place of the gift of William de Vilers and Paganus his son two Carucats of Land and two Bovats and an half and Keteleswang and Holeboldeswang and seventeen Acres of Land at Cranemere and four Tofts with Crofts and the whole Brusâ—am Brouse which belonged to Neubold In Doomsday Book there is mention of Newbold in those daies a very considerable place but now 't is well-nigh lost
between this Lordship and Colston Bassett which is not in that Record described at all by any other name that I know of besides Newbold yet the name of the Mannor of Newbold hath been longest preserved in memory in Kinalton where there yet remains some obscure knowledge of it therefore it is not amiss to insert what that famous Record hath of it in this place which shows that Eâ—rl Morcar had a Mannor in it Taxed at three Carucats The Land whereof was eight Car. before the Conquest afterwards King William himself had there 3 Car. thirteen Sochm. thirteen Vill. three Bord. having seven Car. and two Acres of small Wood. There was a Priest and a Church In the Confessours time this was 4l. but in the Conquerours improved to 10l. value In Newbold also was another Mannor which Morcar likewise had for which he paid as ten Bovats to the publick Geld.

D. heretofore Fellow of the same House and after Prebendary of Westminster I do not find exactly how the Sochmen which we now call Free-holders or the Villains now Husbandmen those that held Lands in bondage and were with their whole off-spring totally at their Lords dispose were increased in the time of two hundred years viz. from the time that the Survey of this Mannor was made by King William with the rest till one I find made in the year 1283. which shows that the Rents in money were not much increased amounting at that time in all but to 4l. 13s. 11d. ob and were paid by several small parcells customarily at ten or eleven Feasts or Seasons in the year unequally viz. St. Mich. St. Martin Ember in Advent Purification Ember after Ashwednesday quatuor temporum Cinerum Annunciation Easter Pentecost Trinity St. Botulf and Nativity of Mary But the Monastery had other waies to make the utmost profits this Lordship was any way able to yield then as well as the present owners do by the extremest rack Rents now paid which I shall set down that some comparison may be made of times this being near upon four hundred years from the former account as that was two hundred from Doomsday and this Lordship is as little altered in the use or husbandry of it as any that I know in the whole County for there is but 22l. 13s. 4d. of inclosure now belonging to it in all the Territory To proceed then with the middle Survey the Priory had besides the money two Hens and a Cock at Michaelmas and forty Hens and an half at Christmas and two Capons at Whitsunday and fourteenscore and three Eggs at Easter besides an uncertain proportion of paunage of Hogs or Swine feeding and likewise their Summage or Rent Corn which was forty quarters and two bushels which two bushels according to the continued phrase of this County make half a quarter or four London bushels which here are called four Strikes whereof two make a bushel This Corn was yearly paid by eighteen several Tenants whereof eight paid three quarters apiece and eight more half so much viz. each one quarter and two bushels and the other two Tenants each of them two quarters and one bushel And each Bovat of Land ought yearly at Blyth the carriage of six bushels of Corn. Another part of the profits was made out of the Services of the Tenants in ordering the Demesne and otherwise as by an Inquisition taken in the Chappel of Elleton the Thursday after the Feast of All Saints in the year of our Lord 1283. by Robert de Bâ—kyngham then Steward to the Priory concerning the Diets or daies labour of the Bond-men of Elleton appeareth which day William de Pavely and Gilbert praepositus the Reeve being sworn said upon their Oaths That every Bovat or Oxgang as we now call them of Land of the Bondmen of Elleton ought two daies work in every Week viz. in one Week Munday and Thursday and in another Munday and Saturday and so of the rest and he who hâ—ld two Bovats ought four daies work or diets viz. Munday Tuesday Thursday and Saturday and if any of those daies between Michaelmas and Lammas happened to be a Festival it was quit but from Lammas to Michaelmas another day was to be given for it in that Week And they further said that every Bovat ought to Plow halt an Acre through the year and for that plowing it was freed that week from one Diet or daies work And he or those who held the Bovat ought that same half Acre of Land trahare sarclare metere and cariare to Harrow or Clott Weed Reap and Carry and for every of those to be freed from half a daies work They said likewise that every Bovat ought trahare to Harrow one day in the time of Wheat and another in the time of Pease or Barley and every Bovat was to make carriage thrice in the year to Blith every time half a quarter of Corn. The carriage made in Winter was for three daies in Summer but for two daies work And they said that he that held one Bovat or Oxgang of Land was to find half a Cart in Winter to carry Wood out of the Forrest of Shirewode and he who held two Bovats a whole Caâ—t and then they should be freed from one Diet or daies

Adam de Novomercato Henry de Bec Roger de Alneto and Raph de Charnels came accordingly to see right fully held by the said Writ between Roger de Fanecourt of Coleston and Robert son of Thomas and Thomas son of the said Robert of Screveton concerning a Toft and two Bovats of Land excepting one Acre in Screvetoâ— which after their disavowing they acknowledged to yold of the said Roger and then agreed to increase the old Rent of 3s. 4d. per annum to 4s. which is the only Chief Rent now left to this Mannor and is paid by Richard Howytt who is also to appear at Orston Court on St. Thomas day only by the said Fine Sir Gerard de Fanecourt Knight who held in many other places Lands of Deyncourts Fee and was a great Benefactor to Thurgarton Priory to which he gave the Rents Homages Services Wards and Reliefs of divers of the Tenents of this Mannor both in Screveton and this Town exchanged it with Oliver de Lovetot for his Lands in Hickling which he also gave to the same place as in that Town is manifested Cecilia married to Walter Cuily Laderina the wife of William Tesserand Elizabeth and Amicia the four daughters and heirs of Hugo de Capella in 6 E. 1. recovered their seism of five Tofts six Bovats 6s. 4d.

of the present Lord Lexington and a son called Alexander Mering of Collingham besides his son and heir Will. Mering father of William Mering Father of Thomas Mering of Newark as I guess to whom King Richard the third by his Letters Patents dated the fourth of March in the second year of his Reign granted the Mannors of Raunardwyke Ikylford and Piryton in the County of Hartford and Lands in Arkesey in the County of Bedford which were Sir Roger Towcotes Knight then a Rebell to have to him and the heirs Males of his body and likewise Father of Sir William Mering who was thrice married one of his Wives I suppose to be Agnes heir of Henry Gloucester of Carcolston by whom he had Iohn Mering who married Katherin one of the eight sisters and co-heirs of Sir Iohn Hercy of Grove and by her had Francis Thomas and Iohn besides Sir William Mering who had to wife Margaret the daughter of Thomas Cave of Stanford and by her three sons Thomas William and Ambrose and many daughters but of them I can say no more saving that this Lordship was sold to George Earl of Shrowsbury and is now the possession of his Grace the Duke of Newcastle Now some begin to esteem it out of this Wapentac but in Nomina Villarum there was no doubt of it for there 't is joyn'd with Gretton as in that place is noted Colingham North and South BEfore the Normans invaded this Country St Peter of Burgh had a Mannor in Colingeham rated to the publick payment of that time at four Car. and half a Bovat The Land whereof was then certified to be fourteen Car. There when King William made his great Survey in Demesne were two Car. and thirty seven Sochm. on two Car. and three Bovats of this Land and eight Villains and twenty Bordars having fourteen Car. There was a Priest and two Churches and two Mills 20s. and two hundred Acres of Medow small Wood two qu. long and 1 qu. broad This continued the former value 9l. Here was some part also which went with Shelton of Raph de Limesies Fee and some part was accounted of Richmond Fee but the main of both the Towns continued to the Abbat of Peterborow who had Free Warren granted here 35 H. 3. Yet the Bishop of Lincolne 14 E. 1. complained of him that he had set up Gallows at Collingham and there hanged a Thief to the derogation of the liberty of his Wapentach of Newark which the Bishop held of the grant of the Kings Predecessours to which the Abbat answered That the Kings Father in the thirty seventh year of his Reign granted to him and his Successours Infangthef and Utfangthef in all his Hundreds and Demesnes and so he avowed his Gallows and complained against the Bishop That he took two Horses and six Cows at Newark and drove them to his Parc or Pound and there detained them The Bishop pleaded that he held the Wapentac of the gift of the King within which are the two Towns of Collingham which the said Abbat held and for which he ought to make suit at the said Wapentac by three men of each Town from three weeks to three weeks and because the suit was with-drawn he took the Horses and Kine at last they agreed the Abbat being constrained to pull down his Gallows and submit The Bishop of Lincoln 10 E. 3. impleaded divers men of North and South Colingham for that when his Bayly had taken divers Cattel of several condemned and out-law'd persons of the said Towns same whereof were hanged as the Goods of Felon◠and Fugitives belonging to him in right of his Wapentac of Newark and impounded them the said men broke the Pound and took the Cattel and had them away for which they answer They are not culpable but the Agreement before mentioned 14 E. 1. between Oliver Bishop of Lincolne and the Abbat will end the strife The Grand Assise 53 H. 3. at Darby between Rob. de Collingham and Iohn de Hyrst Compl. and Walter son of Galfr. and Walter de Markham concerning Common of Pasture which the two Walters exacted in the Lands of the said Robert and Iohn in Collingham was respited till the Octaves of St. Michael at Leicester because Nicholas de Eyvill Robert de Markham Robert de Burstall Richard de Weston Benedict de Rolleston Richard de Grey Raph Barry Philip de Colewick Bryan de Herdeby Simon de Gringeley Walter de Touk Thomas de Bella aquâ Galfr. de Staunton Robert de Stokes Iohn de Vilers Roger de Alneto Knights chosen came not and were therefore amerced Here was a Mannor in North Colingham which the Leeks of Landforth held of the Abbat of Peterburgh These Towns still belong to that Church and the Honourable Anchetill Grey son of Henry Earl of Stanford is the Grand Lessee he married Anne the eldest of the three daughters and co-heirs of Sir Henry Willoughby of Risley in Darbishire the relict of Sir Thomas Aston and mother of Sir Willoughby Aston The Rectory of South Collingham was 20l. when the Abbat of Peterburgh was Patron 'T is now 14l. 1s. 10d. in the Kings Books and the Bishop of Peterburgh Patron The Vicarage of North Collingham was 8l. when the said Abbat was Patron 'T is now in the Kings Books 8l. 19s. 2d. and the Dean and Chapter of Peterborow Patrons The holy Abbess St. Ebba and her Nuns who defaced themselves lest they should be deflowred by the Heathen Danes are reported to have had their residence at Collingham but I having seen nothing certain of it must leave her to Coldingham in Scotland a Cell of Durrham where there is more certain notice of her Dernethorpe Dordenthorpe MOst of this Hamlet seems to be involved in Collingham yet the Book of Dooms-day shows part of it to be of the Soc of Houton of the Fee of Raph de Limesi which was rated to the Geld or Tax at one Bov.

Adam Parson of the Church of Esthwayt impleaded the Prior of Lenton and others because they disseised him of Common of Pasture in about one hundred and fifty Acres of Pasture in Fulwode the said Prior pleaded that Fulwode was neither Burgh Town Village nor Hamlet which the Parson could not gainsay and so was cast Adam de Markham the same time had another Assise or Tryal being the same Parson of the Church of Esthwait for the same and then the Prior pleaded it was in

Judgement was respited because the Court considered that the Town being put out of the Forest it was discharged from the Putura provisions of the Foresters and every other burden of the Forest neither did the Kings Deer common within the bounds of the said Town nor had the men or Tenants of the Town any Land within the bounds of the Forest to intitle them to challenge any Common there Whereupon the men desired the Common to be arrented and accordingly granted the King 5â— per annum for licence of Commoning at all times within the Forest with all manner of Cattel as they were wont and so it was determined The Archbishops Fee the two Prebendaries of Oxton who divide the Tythes here and in many other places besides where they have shares as at Calverton Blidworth Woodborough Crophill c. still continue their interest in and still have as they ever had the usual priviledges allowed as in Southwell may be discerned Roger de Buslies was held by Robert de Somerville of the Lord Lovetot of Wirksop Robert de Sumerville and his Son who was Robert also 22 H. 2. gave account to the Sheriff of x.

Lovethot was seised of the Mannor of Gringele and gave by her Deed to the Prior of Wirksop a Wind-Mill there which Matilda afterwards gave the said Mannor to William de Furnivall her son who put himself into the possession of the said Mill all his life and died without heir of himself whereby the said Mannor reverted to the said Matilda who again enfeoffed the said Prior of the said Mill and died after whose death Iohn de Vescy seised the said Mannor and ejected the said Prior and so held until the Battel of Evesham where he was taken and then came Thomas de Furnivall whose right and inheritance the aforesaid Mannor ought to have been and compounded with Edward the first and Henry de Alemaine viz. that the said Thomas should enfeoffe the said Henry of the said Mannor to hold to him and the heirs of his body remainder to King Edward the first which Henry died without heir of himself and the King gave the said Mannor to Constancia wife of the said Henry in Tenency And the Jury found precisely that Iohn de Vescy and his servants did unjustly eject the said Prior out of the said Mill.

William de Anne Constable of Tikhill made it appear and the Prior denied not that the Mill then viz. 19 E. 2. stood not where it did of old on the soyle of the Prior but two Selions off on the soyle of the King Therefore the Prior had order if he pleased to build it where it formerly stood and to recover the Suit to it by the Common Law There was more ado afterwards concerning this Mill and Suit to it in the former part of the Reign of E. 3.
