The value of this Mannor was in the time of King Edward the Confessour 20l. but when King William made his famous Survey for the more easie regulating the Taxes which should be raised 16l. having Soc in Hochesword and Haflacheton 't is the highest value that I have observed for so little a Lordship but the Soil is very good 'T is very probable that the posterity of that Robert before named had their Sirname from this place for I find Sir William de Watun Lord of this place a Benefactor to the Monastery of Blyth very near this time William de Novoforo likewise and Adam de Novomercato confirmed the gifts of his Ancestors which Family became superiour Lords to the other and held immediately of Gaunt Adelina the daughter and heir of Robert de Whatton gave the Church of Whatton to the Abby of Wellebec to maintain the Hospitality thereof for the Souls of her said Father her Mother Beatrix and William de Heriz her Husband who was living about 20 H. 2. but in 22 H. 2. his brother Robert de Heriz who was his heir was amerced for trespassing on the Forest. Adam de Novomercato confirmed the gift which Adelina had made and so did Adam de Novomercato his son to whom in the year 1241.

Henry de Novomercato son of this Sir Adam confirmed to that Abby all their Lands and Possessions they had in his Fee in this Parish of Whatton and our and so did Thomas de Novomercato son and heir of this Sir Henry This Thomas produced a Charter of Free Warren granted to him and his heirs in all his Demesne Lands here by King Edward the second dated at York the 12 Nov. in the â—enth year of his Reign which was allowed in Eyre 3 E. 3. before William de Herle and his fellows Justices at Nott. the Munday after the Feast of St. Martin So was not the Abbats of Wellebek granted by King Edward the first dated also at York 5 Apr. 19 E. 1. because it had not been well used here in Whatton Aslacton Flintham Kniveton nor Oulecotes and Styrap though in all their other places it was and therefore the Abbat made Fine to the King of forty shillings and had it restored in these also Adam de Novomercato 6 Joh.

There was a Composition made between the Church of West Marcham and the Chapel of Tuxford at Lanum before the Lord Richard perhaps it should have been Roger Arch-bishop of York in the year of our Lord 1179. 5 Calend Decemb. 26 H. 2. that the said Church of West Marcham should have in Tuxford of seventy three Bovats each one Thrave of Corn and the Chapel of Tuxford the rest of the Tythe Corn and the said Church was to have the small Tythes of those living on that Land viz. Calves and Foals Lambs and Goats and Piggs and Eggs at Easter and the men thrice in the year were to go with their Offerings to West Marcham viz. on All Saints day and that of the Purification of St. Mary and at Easter and to be Confessed there in Lent and receive Communion there at Easter and the bodies of the husbands and wives to be buried there and the said Church was to have two parts of the Tythe Corn growing on the Demesne of Tuxford and likewise of all the Essarts that then were or should be and the Chapel of Tuxford was to have the remaining third part and all the small Tythes and Confession and Communion and Offerings and the bodies of all dwelling on the Demesne and in the Town except the husbands and wives on the said seventy three Bovats and all the Tythe of Flax Milk Wooll Hens Geese Apples Gardens and all Churchings and Weddings of the whole Town of Tuxford the said Chapel was to have and that this agreement might be firm Robert de St. Iohn then it seems husband of Oliva Lady of Tuxford Patron of that ground made his Affidavit in the hand of the Lord Arch-bishop of Yorke and so did Henry the Priest of Marcham and William the Parson of Tuxford and Iacob instead of his Master Walter de Constanciis Chaplain of Tykhill and Richard Parson of Walesby The Arch-bishops Seal was put to it and so was Robert de St. Iohns and the said Iacobs This was certified by Thomas de Maryng Abbat of Barlings and that Covent to be in their Registry 4 Iun. 1307. It seems probable that the successours of that Aron mentioned in Doomsday Book took their name from this place howbeit the first I can certainly fix on was Sir Richard de Marcham or William who married Cecilia the sister of Robert Lord Lexington as before is in several places noted by whom he had Richard and Robert but what sons else I have not yet discovered Robert de Marcham was a great Man and had an Esquire named Robert de Fowich 2 E. 1. he confirmed his Uncle the said Robert de Lexingtons gift of Lands in Scardcliff Rothorne and Sterthorp to the Priory of Newstede he held when he died about 17 E. 1. a Capital Mess. in West Marcham and sevenscore Acres of Arable Land in Demesne and twenty of Medow and a Water-Mill paying the Prior of Monkebreton 8d. per annum and the Nuns of Wallendewelles 6d. c.

judge Causes and levy Forfeitures and Amercements arising amongst the people resident within such Circuit or Territory part whereof was ever as well by the King in his as other Lords in theirs kept in his or their own respective hands or Tenencies for the sustenance or support of his or their particular Family there which is now called the Demesne the rest is well known by the name of Tenements being held by others Of which one part by the Saxons were called Boke Lands because the King or other Lord gave them to some Thaines or Freemen by Charter to inherit either for their Services in the Wars or Contribution thereto or else for finding a competent proportion of Corn or other provisions for the Kings or other Lords use which latter Tenure we understand now by Free Socage as we do the other by Knights or Military Service These men however for such their Lands in any Mannor or Soke of the Kings or of another mans were named Socmen especially in Doomsday Book where they are most often mentioned as they have been Thaines Men Barons Knights and Free-holders and are indeed the very Barons whereof as the Lawyers say there must be two at the least to make that we now call a Court Baron in the reason of which name it seems divers most Learned men have been mistaken calling it from some insufficient Authority A Barons Court or Court of a Baron as is manifest in that the King himself not to be called a Baron sure in any sense except only the Masculine had a Court of the Barons of his Mannor as suitable and necessary for the Affairs of that as the great ones were for the business of his Kingdom after the Model whereof this was partly governed which Court in old time had the name of Hallmote the Kings as all others were being most usually kept in the Capital Messuage or Mannor House then and still called the Hall whereunto these Sokemen or Barons Men Knights Thaines or Free-holders were once in three Weeks to attend Some of the Kings Socmen were great as were also some of those of the larger sort of other great mens and had Mannors within the Soc which sort we now call Mesne Lords being in the middle as it were between their own Socmen who held of them and the supreme or Paramount Lord of whom they held themselves but the most generall sort of them were such as the Saxons called Less Thaines the Danes Young-men and we still Yeomen and were as I guess made most ordinarily of the younger sons or brothers of the Lords of the less sort of Mannors being certainly Free of Blood and fit for honourable Service some marks whereof yet remain in the Kings Houshold and divers other places These Sokemen of the Kings Mannors now known by the name of Free-holders by Charter in Antient Demesne are free from all manner of Toll for any thing concerning their own Provisions or Husbandry and from many other payments which others are liable to neither can they be drawn into Plea for any thing concerning their Lands out of their own Court wherein from the very first beginning without doubt was exercised all manner of Law requisite for the Kings Tenants as well concerning right as peace as likewise 't is probable there was in all or most other very great Mannors or Sokes which contained several Tythings or Townships whence arose also the Court-Leet as we now call it wherein chiefly all those Saxon Customs distinguished by several names or Laws concerning the Peace were executed which by many Lords in their several Sokes was claimed by prescription and since the Conquest hath been granted to others by the name of View of Frank-pledge The other part of the Tenements of a Mannor by the Saxons called Folk-Lands were occupied or held for the most part by the people bred and born in the Villages and of Servile condition called in Doomsday Book Villains and since Natives or Bondmen being such as our Husbandmen or Farmers are now for those who were like our Cottagers held very little or no Land and in that Record are called Bordars most likely because they had their meat where they did their work which Custom remains amongst us in some places still However all these men and all they had went with the Lands of their respective Mannors wherein they lived and were saving their lives as much and intirely at the will and disposition of their several Lords who finding no great profit in keeping alive many such Lazy Families as they were bound to do grew more willing to Manumit and make them Free or else to suffer them to hold their Lands under such Rents and Services as they thought fit to impose which being entred in their Court Rolls they made little other use of their Authority over them so that Copyholders also now have almost utterly worn out the memory of any such condition as well as any of that formerly most numerous Servile sort of people whereof for the greater part of these last two hundred years there have scarcely been any who would not have despised those who should not have esteemed them as Free-born English men as the best as the late times have more especially shown The last thing which should be distinguished a little more clearly from a Mannor or Soke Constablery or Tything Town Village or Hamlet is a Parish which amongst us signifies a certain portion of Land or Territory within the particular charge of a Priest who is to Administer the Holy Sacraments and other Divine Offices to the Inhabitants thereof the Precinct or bounds of which are commonly best known by those of the Mannor or Mannors the Tythes whereof belong to that Church though some portion of them may have been given to some other for it frequently happens that a Township Hamlet or Constablery is in several Parishes the Church Founded in it alwaies having the Tythes of it except a Portion was by chance given to some Religious House and we see a Parish as before was said of a Mannor may contain one or more Townships or Hamlets or only part of one or more Nay in some places we have two Parishes in one Town and but one Church which must needs arise from several Mannors the Lords whereof joyned in Founding or Building but not in endowing the Church each keeping apart his Tythes and what else he would give for the sustenance of his own Clark whom he intended to present to the Bishop for the Ministerial care and Government of his own Tenants who with the Lands they occupied made up one Parish as the others did another yet both had use of the same Church These are ordinarily called Medieties perhaps because the use of the Church may be equal though the Parishes or profits be not The Kings Mannors before the coming of the Normans were furnished with Churches and Chapels in the Hamlets also not far short of Parochial Churches and so were most other great

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.
