Thomas de
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. And afterwards the said Prior in the fifth year of King Edward the first complained that before judgement given Richard son of Albred with forty others by the Command and Mission of Henry de Luffenham Constable of Tikhill with force and arms pulled down the said Mill c. 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. Simon de Bereford 3 E. 3. claimed to have in the Mannor of Gringele Emendation of Bread and Ale Free Waren Park Wrek and Weyf William de la Pole granted this Mannor of Gringeley on the Hill to King E. 3.
