And Raph de Rodes a very great man was possessed of them 6 H. 3. whose son Gerard de Rodes Lord of Melles about the latter end of H. 3. or beginning of E. 1. granted the Mannors of Clifton and Wilford and the services of the Freeholders and Villans there and at Barton to Sir Gervase de Clifton reserving 30l. per annum Rent which afterwards he also released And Iohn de Beaulu likewise released the Mannors of Wilford and Clifton to the said Sir Gervase which were sold to him the said Sir Gervase by Sir Gerard de Rodes King Edward the first in the ninth year of his Reign reciting the Deed of the said Sir Gerard confirmed it Gervase son of Gervase de Clifton was Senescall in this Gerards time This worthy Family therefore which held Lands here and had their name from their residence at this place and sometimes at Wilford must not till this time pretend to be Lords of it notwithstanding the received Tradition and old Parchment writing importing that Sir Alvered de Clifton Knight was Lord of the Mannor of Wilford and Guardian of the Castle at Nott. in the time of William Peverell and his son Sir Robert de Clifton after him in like manner There is no Mannor of Wilford in Doomsday Book and King William or William Peverell built the Castle of Nott. himself and dwelt in it and his son after him yet 't is not unlike but that they might have some considerable trust or imployment under the Peverells Gervas de Clifton I find mentioned in the time of H. 2. who it seems had a daughter named Cecily the wife of Roger de Cressi who 3 Ioh. claimed Dower against William de Cressi who gave an account of twenty
Bovats of Land 2s. Rent and the Lands out of which it issued as her own right Robert Salwayn son of Gerard Salwayn released also to that Priory 10s. per annum Rent which he was wont to receive of Oliver de Lovetoft for ten Bovats of Land in Hicklinge Edmund de Ayncurt son of Iohn confirmed Sir Gerard de Fanecourt's gifts of the homages services wards and reliefs c. in the Towns of Hickeling and Kinalton and also released 60s.
