D. D. TO MY WORTHY FRIEND William Dugdale Esq Norroy King of Arms. Sir BY your hand as it were I present these Collections to the Nobility and Gentry of our County and to all other lovers of this kind of knowledge that your name may procure the Book that esteem which its own worth cannot give it This priviledge I claim and use with the greater confidence not only because I am sufficiently assured of your kindness and good nature but also because indeed you put me upon the work and therefore though I may not have done so much or so well as you intended I should I think you are a little obliged to countenance your own choice of the Instrument You may remember that some very few years after your Visitation of our County you and I being with our Friend Mr. Gervas Pigot since deceased at his House at Thrumpton he brought us a kind of a Transcript of something which your old Acquaintance Gilbert Boun Serjeant at Law my Wives Father was designing or beginning towards a Description of Nottinghamshire whereof he had been Feodary which proved to be only Doomsday Book and a short Note or two on every Town but that served to give occasion to both your importunities that I should attempt something further in it which I proved more willing than able effectually to obey notwithstanding your promised assistance and directions which indeed my profession and other concerns would not suffer me in all things exactly to follow for I could never get opportunity to go my self and stay at York to abstract what might be useful for me from that Registry as you ever advised me and others it seems could not well do it for me for I had several undertakers who all failed in the point Yet I have made hard shift to be as little justly to blame in other things as possibly I could so that I hope you will not disown me and if you do not I shall be less sollicitous what others think for I allow no man for a Iudge who hath not done something of this nature himself And they that have even for your sake I am sure will be apt to be merciful to Carcolston Munday in Easter-week Apr. 16. Anno Dom. 1677. Your Faithful Friend and Servant ROB. THOROTON THE PREFACE THE Art of Physick which I have professed with competent success in this County not being able for any long time to continue the people living in it I have charitably attempted notwithstanding the difficulty and almost contrariety of the study to practise upon the dead intending thereby to keep all which is or can be left of them to wit the shadow of their Names better than precious Oyntment for the body to preserve their memory as long as may be in the World Though for this latter undertaking I expect no more Glory than I have gotten Riches by the former well knowing this place not to be the best chosen for either and the times such that too few are much concerned either for what is past or to come But seeing that by the especial favour and Providence of God I have lived happily in it beyond my own reasonable hopes or the opinions of my wisest Friends who would have set me on a better Stage I have thought my self bound to my Country to make it this further return of gratitude however it may relish or please which no body else of better abilities and qualifications hath hitherto performed and I have put it in the form of an Olla Podrida which any of them who shall be half so fond as I may the more easily augment or new model when they shall think fit and every Reader or rather looker on it for it cannot expect many more thorough Readers than a Dictionary may by the help of the Indexes pick out only those names of Places or Persons which he desires without being obliged to read very much of the rest which may be thought impertinent enough especially by those who will not consider that I present not here what I would have chosen but what I could find and that for the most part will be judged too little by any concerned and too much by others Yet the time this Work can pretend to is very little above six hundred years in the first third part whereof there is not too much to be found the oldest general Authentick Record we have being that most famous Survey made by King William the first in the latter part of his Reign which still remains in the Treasury of the Exchequer and is called Doomsday Book and was finished near about two hundred years after the first perfect Division of England into Shires or Counties or of them into Hundreds and Tythings by King Alured or Alfred as is said but hath respect also to the several Lands and their owners in the time of King Edward the Confessour This most noble light of those times as far as concerns this County of Nottingham I have therefore exhibited at large as plainly as I well could yet because the Phrase or Language of it is not suitable to this present Age I conceive it not amiss briefly in this place to observe and explicate some few things which may render it and some other things in this Book more easie to be understood To begin then with Shire as the Saxons called it or County as now more frequently is used we may know it to be one of those Shares Portions or Provinces whereinto this Kingdom

Hugo Fees which the said Raph held of the honour of Peverell of Nott. viz. two in Claindon and one Fee in Gresele with the Appurtenances Hugh Fitz-Raph 36 H. 3. 10 April had Free Warren granted in all his Demesne Lands in Gresele and Muscamp in this County and Elkesdon in Darbyshire where he had also a Market and a Fair on the Eve of the Assumption of the blessed Mary He had a son called Hugh but Eustachia daughter and heir of his son Raph was his heir and Nicholas de Cantelupe of Hartfordshire who had to wife Eustachia the Niece and heir of Hugh Fitz-Raph had the Knights Fee in Greseley 49 H. 3. which the said Hugh then dead held of the King in Capite The Jury 2 E. 2. found that William de Cantelupe held this Mannor at his death of Sir William de Roos of Ingmanthorp who held it by the Courtesie of England as the inheritance of Eustachia his quondam wife mother of the said William de Cantelupe whose son William de Cantelup was then his heir and of the age of sixteen years The King Apr. 14 E. 3. granted licence to Nicholas de Cantelupe and his heirs to strengthen or fortify his mansion House of Grysele in the County of Nott. and to embattel it from this time it was called a Castle And here was likewise a Park wherein this Nicholas de Cantelupe Founded the Monastery of Beauvale whom I guess to be the brother of that William last named under age yet some might think of his Father rather because this Nicholas by his son and heir William had a Grandson of his own name who was Witness to his Charter of Foundation of that Priory bearing date 9 Decemb. 17 E. 3. though the Book of Beauvale in the Descent Printed in the Monasticon Angl. makes the said Founder to be son and heir of that first William de Cantelupe very positively but how much it is mistaken in some other parts of this Descent these notes will in some sort discover to any who will take the pains to consider it At the Assizes at Darby 30 E. 3. Ioane who had been the wife of Nicholas de Cantelupe impleaded William de Cantelupe Chr.

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.
