Mr. Dugdale in his Book of Warwickshire shows that Wirce his Lands were by King Henry the first granted to Nigel de Albany Progenitor of the Family of Mowbray who 't is likely did enfeoff Robert de Ayvill mentioned in Egmanton of this Mannor For Iohn de Auvill gave 40s. in the seventh year of King Iohn for having a certain Precipe that William de Mumbray should restore unto him Landford with the Appurtenances to wit a Knights Fee which Robert de Auvill Father of the said Iohn gave in marriage to Roger de Caily with Iane his sister then dead who had a son who died without any heir at all so that for want of heir the Fee ought to return to the said Iohn son and heir of the said Robert The next I find here was Richard de Grey of Codnor paying his Mark for half a Knights Fee in the former part of the Reign of Henry the third William de Grey of Sandiacre in Darbishire 53 H. 3. had Free Warren here who I suppose was enfeoffed of this Mannor by the said Richard whom I guess to be his brother William died about this year and his son Richard was his heir who married Lucia the daughter and heir of Robert de Harestaâ— Lord of Sutton in the Dale in Darbishire and Harestan in Leicestershire and Hickling in this County as in that place may be seen where it also appears that this Lordship with the rest became the inheritance of Iohn Leek said to be younger brother of Simon Leek of Cotham in right of his wife Alice Grandchild of Edward Hillary and Alice Grey by Iohn Grey their son and heir This Iohn Leek and Alice his wife who after the death of her sister Isabel without issue about 14 H. 6. became sole heir had a son called William Leek who by Catharin his wife the daughter of Sir Thomas Chaworth Knight had a younger son called Thomas Leek of Hasland whose daughter Elizabeth the wife of Iohn Hardwyk Esquire was mother of Elizabeth the wife of Sir William Cavendish afterwards Countess of Shrowsbury the great instrument of placing the two Illustrious Houses of Newcastle and Devonshire in these parts but his eldest son was Iohn Leeke of Sutton who by his wife Elizabeth the daughter of Sir Iohn Savage had two sons Iohn and Thomas and three daughters Catharin wife to Sir Godfr Foljambe Miriel to Sir Thomas Waterton and Elizabeth to Iohn Frechevile He was buried in Sutton Chancel 24 March 1504. and by his Will committed the said Thomas his son who was called Leek of Williamthorpe to Thomas Savage Lord Arch-bishop of York to be ordered concerning his marriage and gave to Thomas Leek of Hasland his brother before named and noted more particularly in Leke Lands in Carleton juxta Gedling this same Iohn Leek had Lands in the Counties of Nott. Derb. Linc. Leicest and Worcester he gave four hundred Marks towards the building of Sutton Church making of his Tomb and paying his debts and was succeeded by Sir Iohn Leeke his son and heir who 10 Decemb. 14 H. 8. 1522. being about to go in the Army into Scotland under the most Noble Captain the Kings Lieutenant General and Steward of England the Earl of Showsbury made his Will and either died or was slain for it was proved 10 Oct. 1523. whereby it appears that he had three natural daughters Susan Elizabeth and Dorothy begotten on the body of Anne Mainwaring who was with Child when he made his Will His wife was Iane the daughter of Henry Foljambe Esquire by whom he had Anne and Katherin the wife of Francis Mering and two sons Francis who married Elizabeth and Iohn who married Margaret the daughters of Sir William Paston of Norfolk the Lands mentioned in his Will are at Sutton in le Dale Sandiacre Hickling Normanton Chesterfeild Huknall Torcard Little Léek Great Léek Notingham Stoke by Newark Lanforth Colewick Carcolston and Wiverton His son Sir Francis Leeke in the beginning of the Reign of Queen Eliz. obtained the other part of this Lordship whereof Robert de Perpount was Lord in 9 E. 2. to whose Family it continued with Holme Perpont where it is also mentioned till that time but he shortly after sold the whole to George then Earl of Shrowsbury It hath since been purchased by Iohn More Dr. of Physick and by him left to Sir Edw.

His first wife was Frances the daughâ—er of Robert Swift by whom he had Sir Francis Leeke creaâ—ed Lord Deyncourt and afterwards Earl of Scarsdale Father of Nicolas the present Earl His second wife was Mary the daughter of Iohn Egioke of Worcestershire after his death married to Sir Gervas Clifton on whom he begot William Leek commonly called â—quire Leak the Father of Sir Francis Leek of Newark Knight and Baronet the present Lord of Sandiacre There was a Moore and Common in Landford belonging to St. Iohns of Hierusalem which 18 Decemb. 6 E. 6. were granted to Edward Fynes Knight Lord Clynton and Saye and Henry Hereson and their heirs there were Lands and Commons in Barnebie and Landford late belâ—nging to the said Priory of St. Iohns of Ierusalem 4 Oct. 28 Eliz. granted to Sir Christopher Hatton Knight and his heirs And 21 Oct. 30 Eliz. to Edward Wymark Gent. and his Possibly that Priory had the Church also Mr. More hath the Tythes Mering KIng Williams Land here was rated to the Geld at six Bovats and an half It should seem it or part of it became afterwards of the Earl of Richmonds Fee because Richard de Sutton is said to hold of that Honour a Knights Fee in Sutton Carleton and Meringes And before that I find that Alan de Mering son of Harvei by the grant of Hervei de Sutton his Lord gave one place of Land in the territory of Mering to the Canons of Radeford by Wirksop The first of this Family which had their name from their residence here that I can reconcile to any certainty of time was Gillebertide Meringes who granted to Raph Murdac High Sheriff of these Counties 30 H. 2. six Acres of Medow in Meringes in that called Esteng which Roger de Caisneto held of him for 2s. per annum as the said Raph Murdac was to do who gave it away to the Priory of Lenton for the health of his own soul and of Alexander de Cheinai's and together with it for the more abundant firmness and security of his said gift the writing which he had from the said Gilbert de Meringges for which after his death the Monks were to make him a perpetual Anniversary as for one of their Advocates or principal Benefactors The next whom I have found of this place was Gerard de Mering in the beginning of the Reign of Henry the third In the 40 H. 3. Roger de Luvetot the Sheriff gave account of 2 Marks of Gilb. de Mering and Ivetta his wife for having a Writ of Attaint Robert de Mering 32 E. 1. claimed the hearing of a Writ which Guychard de Charun Lord of Sutton by Mary his wife one of the co-heirs procured against him for services at Mering due to the said Guichard but it appeared by the date of the Writ that it was obtained eight daies before the fault was said to be made therefore he had nothing by it But this Guichard I take upon further consideration to be son of him who married the co-heir but not by her as in Sutton may be observed for I find Sir Robert de Mering Knight held of Iohn de Muscam son of Gilbert and Agnes de Sutton another co-heir all his Tenements in Mering by Foreign service and that the said Robert redeemed the said Service and Ward of his hâ—irs of the said Iohn After the said Robert succeeded Iohn de Mering his son whose son and heir Thomas married the daughter of Peter Foun of Marcham who had the custody of the said Thomas under age Peter Foun had a son and heir called Iohn who died without issue and Thomas Mering became his heir in right of his wife Alice who had been the wife of Nicolas de Widmerpole and Robert son of Nicolas de Widmerpole had a Suit against Sir Thomas son and heir of Iohn son of Robert de Mering 3 E. 3.

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.
