After the death of Hugh Barry which was Nâv 17.21 H. 7. there was an Inquisition taken at Newark viz. 16 Oct. 22 H. 7. whereby it appears that he was seized of the Mannors of Torlaston and Keyworth with the Advowsons of the Churches of Torlaston Bassingfeild which as I take it hath none and Keyworth with the Appurtenances and divers Lands and Tenements in Torlaston Keyworth Lambecote and Kneton and that he gave the Mannor of Keyworth with the Advowson of that Church to Thomas Barry and Brigit Agard and the heirs of the body of Thomas Thomas Barry son and heir of Hugh was then found to be above twelve years old as in Keworth is already noted There was another taken at Turford in the Clay 27 Aug. 19 H. 8. after the death of Thomas Barry Gent. who died the 4 Mar. 18 H. 8. seized of the Mannor of Keworth and the Advowson of the Church and of two Mess. nineteen Bovats of Land eight Bovats of Medow and two Bovats of pasture and 9s. and 4d.

This Raph the year before viz. 10 H. 3. was Warden or Keeper of Nottingham Castle and Iames de Keworth was his Nephew from whom Annora at length the sole heir of this Family of Maunvers and Married to Henry Pierpont claimed Rents in Basingfeild as his Cousin and heir 12 E. 1. as likewise in Keyworth as in those places may be observed This Henry de Pierpont is said to be son of Henry Iohn le Pierpont of Kirkby in Ashfeild whose Lands there still remain with this honourable Family had a brother named Henry and another Roger c. I suppose them sons or Grandsons of Robert de Pierpont who held a Knights Fee of the Bishop of Lincolne 12 H. 2. Shortly after this it appears that Simon de Pierpont had summons to that Parliament which was called in Iune 22 E. 1. in order to that King's Expedition into Gascoine and that in September following he had command to attend him in person thither well fitted with Horse and Arms for that Service Certain it is that the posterity of Sir Henry Pierpont and Annora being for the most part principally resident at this place gave occasion for the calling it Holme Pierpont where at this time is the principal mansion of the Right Honourable Henry Marquess of Dorchester son and heir of Robert Earl of Kingston the great advancer of this Family who added the high Buildings to the House which else for the most part is as Sir Henry Pierpont the said Earls Father left it but the Stables Garden Bowling-Green and divers other Ornaments and Offices were done by the Marquess The Jury found 4 E. 1. that Margery who had been wife of Leoninus de Maunoers permitted her self to be married to Iohn son of Henry de Nottingham without the Kings licence as was believed being in the gift or disposal of the King The Jury 8 E. 1. found that the Towns of Basingfeild and Holme were bound to repair Polleford Bridge and the Township of Boughton a Bridge and Causey there and Holme the Bridge and Causey of Holme Roger de Wilford and Ioane his wife who held the Mannor of Bughton for her life passed it by Fine 29 E. 3. to Sir Edmund Perpount Chr. and his heirs paying 100s. of Silver yearly while she lived It is now utterly decayed but went commonly with Holme Galfr. de Neyvill and Henry de Perepunt were Justices of Assize 8 E. 1. and sate at Blithworth in this County concerning Forest matters King Edward the second by his Charter dated at Nott.

for the Vicar is so small as it too often happens both in this Church of Southwell and many others of like sort that it is not to be mentioned without a good wish that the Law did not or might not suffer any alienation of profits from Churches great or small without a more effectual reservation of a competent share to that to which they did and do originally belong For the Layety to have good Leases may be good policy in some sort to preserve the Church but for so many places to be so extraordinarily ill supplied cannot consist with Religion or good Government whatever some modern Statesmen fancy The Lessees of the two Prebends of Oxton are at present Patricius Viscount Chaworth of Armagh and Sir William Child for Mr. Iohn Andrews his Son-in-laws Children The Freeholders are George White Ioseph Henson Thomas Haukinson Thomas Mabbott c. The Vicarage was ten Marks 'T is now 5l. 3s. 4d. in the Kings Books and the said Prebendaries Patrons as they ever were Crophill Butler SO called because it was long held by the Family of Butlers of Warington in the County of Lancaster In the Conquerours great survey it appears that Vluric had a Mannor here in the Saxon Government which defended it self against Foreign or Publick payments for two Car. and six Bov.

H. 1. and that Sir William son of the said William Peverel died 16 Kal. May 1100. 12 William Rufus which cannot be true except he had another son William for I find that William Peverell at the intreaty of his faithful wife Adelina gave to the Monastery of Lenton at or nigh the very Foundation the Churches of Hecham and Randia To which Deed were Witnesses Robert de Ferrariis Avenell de Haddon Robert son of Drogo Robert son of Warner Raph
Hanselin c. William Peverell his son by ill advice took them away for a long time but repenting he for love of the Worship of God and for the safety of the Souls of his said father and mother by the consent of his heir William the younger restored them again The Witnesses to this Deed were Hugh de Burun William Avenell Adam de Morteyn Oddo de Boney Robert de Heriz Gilbert de Macuinci Norman de St. Patricio c. Anno 1155. King Henry the second disinherited William Peverel because of poyson given to Ranulph Earl of Chester About those times there were three Peverels of great note viz. Peverel of Dovor and Peverel of London and our Peverel of Notingham who is certainly intended by the last noted Chronicle as may further appear by an Instrument yet remaining in Sir Iohn Cotton's Library Sealed by Henry Duke of Normans c. afterwards King Henry the second being then at the Divises to Ranulph Earl of Chester wherein he gave him besides the said Earls own Inheritance in Normandy and England wholly as his Ancestors ever had it that in Normandy very particularly recited the whole Honour of Earl Roger Pictavensis where-ever and all the said Duke Henries Honour of Blye where-ever it was in England and the Honour of Eye as Robert Malet Uncle of the said Earl Ranulphs mother ever had it Moreover he gave him Stafford and Staffordesir and the County or Earldom of Stafford wholly whatever he had there in Fee and Inheritance except the Fee of the Bishop of Chester and of Earl Robert de Ferrariis and of Hugh de Mortuomari and of Gervas Paganell and except the Forest of Canoc which he the said Duke then retained in his hand He gave him the Fee of Alan de Lincolne who was also Uncle of the said Earls mother and the Fee of Ernis de Burun as his own Inheritance and the Fee of Hugh de Scoteiney where-ever it was and the Fee of Robert de Chalz where-ever it was and the whole Fee of Robert Fitz or son of Odo and the whole Fee of Norman de Verdun and the Fee of Robert de Stafford where-ever it was and 30l. Land which the said Duke Henry had in Grimesby he gave him and Notingham Castle and the Borough and whatever the said Duke had in Nottingham in Fee and Inheritance he gave to him and his heirs and the whole Fee of William Peverell where-ever it was unless he could dirationare se clear himself in the said Dukes Court of the wickedness and Treason except Hecham And if Engelram de Albamarlâ would not take with the said Duke nor Earl Simon and he the said Duke could take the said Hecham by force he would restore it to the said Earl Ranulph if he would have it and Torchesci and Oswardebec Wapentac and Derby with all the Appurtenances and Maunsfeld with the Soch and Roclar with the Soch and Stanley by Coventre with the Soch and of Belvar he would hold him right as soon as he should be able as of the said Earls Inheritance and to the said Earls six Barons he would give each an hundred pound Land which they should chuse of those which the said Duke should happen to get of his enemies and to all the said Earls friends parentibus he would restore their Inheritance whereof he had power c. Howbeit the said Earl Ranulf of Chester did not enjoy any long possession of those places in this County for the Sheriffs answered to the King for the profits of the Lands of William Peverell and the Scutages of the Tenants of his Fee as in the Pipe Rolls of Henry the second and the succeeding Kings may be seen and in divers other places of this Book for the rest Margaret the daughter and at length heir of William Peverell of Nottingham was wife of William Earl of Ferrars and Derby son of Robert the younger Earl of Ferrars and of Nottingham and she had a son Robert Earl of Ferrars who in the time of King Henry the second perhaps because he could not inherit was the more willing to burn Nottingham which he did it seems together with his son William Grandson of the said William and Margaret which said William Earl of Ferrars the Grandson was outed of his Earldoms of Nottingham and Derby by King Richard the first who gave them to Iohn Earl of Moreton afterwards King his brother who thereupon 't is like grew more willing to interest himself in these parts which he did by granting a Charter to this Town of Nottingham and some way or other pleasing of the Gentry of the Country so well that he led the most of them into Rebellion as in sundry places of this Book concerning divers particular persons of them may be observed But of these Peverells I have found no more saving that there was a Fine in the Kings Court at Nottingham the Fryday after the Feast of St. Bartholomew 4 Ioh. before I. Bishop of Norwic Hugh Bardulf Iohn de Gestling Mr. Roger Arundell Hugh de Bobi the Kings Justices and others then there present between William Peverell Petent and Beatrice de Curcon Tenant of two Bovats of Land in Palterton thereby passed to her and her heirs paying 6d. per annum c. 'T is certain then that from the beginning of the Reign of Henry the second this Castle of Nottingham hath for the most part belonged to the Crown neither is there any place anything near so far distant from London that I know of in all England which hath so often given entertainment and residence to the Kings and Queens of this Realm since the Norman Conquest It is said that in the year 1194. King Richard being first loosed from his bonds the Castles of Nottingham and Tykehull resisted with force but the Castles of Lancaster and Merleburg and Mount Michael rendred themselves King Iohn in the sixth of his Reign commanded Reginald de Clifton that immediately upon sight of his Letters he should deliver to Robert de Veteriponte the Castle of Nottingham c. The like Command at that time had Hugh de Nevill for the Castle of the Pec William de Briewer for that of Bollesour and Sampson de Straclee Strelley concerning the Castle of Hareston Raph Fitz-Nicholas 10 H. 3. was Warden of Nottingham Castle he was Steward to William de Ferrariis Earl of Derby it seems King Henry the third being at Windsor 29 April 32 H. 3. committed to Robert le Vavassur the Countys of Nottingham and Derb. to be kept paying to the King 100l. per annum at his Exchequer for the issues of the said Counties besides fifty Marks which he was to pay every year to the Warden custodi of Nottingham Castle for the keeping thereof After the Battel at Lewes between King Henry the third and the Barons for determining the strife Edward the Kings eldest son was delivered for Pledge and afterwards was freed from
