Earl Moriton This was Assessed or rated usually in those times to the publick Tax or Geld as two Carucats three Bovats and an half and five Acres The Land was six Carucats There Earl R. had in Demesne three Carucats three Sochm. twenty Villans two Bordars having nine Carucats and fourscore Acres of Medow The value in the time of King Edward the Confessour of this was 60s. In the time of King William when his survey was made 40s. It had Soc in Leche Here was another Mannor of the Land of the Taynes which Godric who had also one in Leke had before the Conquest and paid for it to the Geld as three Bovats and an half and one Acre The Land was one Carucat afterwards it was waste and Sauvinus named in Kinston had it and twelve Acres of Medow in King Edward the Confessours time it was valued at 10s. in King Williams at 2s. This Town came afterwards to be of the Earl of Leicesters Fee and it seems either had or was thought fit to have a Castle because amongst those Covenants upon a Truce between Ranulph Earl of Chester and Robert Earl of Leicester made in the presence of Robert the second of that Name Bishop of Lincolne and certain persons of note on each part viz. on the Earl of Chester's part Richard de Lovetot William Fitz Nigell and Ranulph the Sheriff On the Earl of Legrecesters part Ernald de Bosco Gaufrid the Abbat and Reginald de Bordineio Amongst many other things it was agreed that neither the Earl of Chester nor Legrecester should or ought to fortifie any Castle Firmare Castrum aliquod between Hinchelai and Coventre nor between Hinchelai and Hardreshil nor between Coventre and Donington nor between Donington and Leicester nor at Gataham nor at Cheneldestoe now Kinolton nor nearer nor between Cheneldesto and Belvéer nor between Belvéer and Hocham nor between Hocham and Rochingham nor nearer but by common consent of both parties In the time of King Henry the second Hugh de Diva of whose Barony it was and Helawissa his Wife gave two parts of the Tythe of the Demesne of Gatham to the Priory of St. Mary de Pratis by Leicester of that Earls Foundation It appears Hugh de Diva had a son called William who gave the Church of Haddun to the Abby of Sulby in Northamptonshire which William de Diva I take to be Father of Maud de Dive who in the first year of King Iohn gave ten Marks that she might not be compelled to Marry but if she had a mind would do it by the Kings advice or counsel And I think it more probable that this William was Father than Brother to the three co-heirs of the Barony of Hugh de Dive notwithstanding the Inquisition taken at Northampton before the Justices Itinerant 3 E. 3. wherein they are put for the Daughters though I see no reason but that they might be the Grand-daughters of the said Hugh For in an old Parchment which Mr. Pigot the present Lord of this place still keepeth amongst his Evidences wherein is the case of the Advowson of the Church and was written about the time of King Edward the first it is thus related William de Dyve who last had the whole Lordship of Gotcham intire begot three daughters who were his heirs Matilda Alicia Astelin who all in the first vacancy joyntly presented one Robert de Nottingham to the Church of Gatham and then made an agreement that in the first avoidance the eldest should present in the second the middle in the third the youngest Matilda was the first begotten and Married to Sir Seer de St. Andrea who in the first vacuity presented one Saer his Son Alice the middle daughter was Married to Sir Richard de Mistegros and they sold their right to Sir Simon de Montefort Earl of Leicester who presented one Richard de Role And the said Simon gave his right with the Advowson of the Church to the Ancestor of Sir Thomas de St. Mauro Astelin was last and Married to Sir Simon de Mistegros who had two daughters and heirs Agatha and Alice Agatha Married to Walter de Radindon and Alice to Raph de Dyve and they two after the death of the said Richard presented one Mr. Peter de Leyk On the top of it is Stipes Willielmi de Dive Willielmus de Dive Matilda de St. Andrea Robertus de St. Andrea Rogerus qui nunc est Alicia de Muscegros Ascelin de Mistegros Agatha de Ratinden Alicia de Dive Iohn son of Agatha de Radinden Cousin and heir of Alice de Mucegros 35 E. 1. paid relief for the sixth part of the Barony heretofore Hugh Dives c. By the forementioned Inquisition in which the names also of the co-heirs are a little mistaken viz. the second is Ascelin for Alice and the third Agnes for Ascelin it appears how the Lands in Northamptonshire were parted St. Andrew had his purport in Haldenby and Ravenesthorp and the third part of the Tenements of Pisseford and Boketon Richard Mucegros had his in West-Haddon and Holewell and the like third part of Pisseford and Boketon who with his son Robert passed them to Simon Mountfort Earl of Leicester upon whose Attainder King Henry the third gave this part to Sir Thomas Bray the Kings Seneschall Simon Mucegros had Brampton and the like third part in Pisseford and Boketon all which were held of the Earl of Leicester The like division was made of his Lands in other Counties as also here at Gotham where the Family of St. Andrew did chiefly reside it was a branch of that of Quincy and bore Gules seven Mascles voided 3.3.1 Or with a Labell of five Points Azure Sir Saier de St. Andr. gave to the Priory of St. Nicolas of Sandeford in Barkshire 5s. yearly rent in his Town of Littlemore for the health of his soul and his Fathers and Mothers and for the

Some of the Demeâ—ne and some of the Tenements likewise which belonged to this Mannor were of the Soc of Orston and lay in Screveton as partly appears by a Fine levied in the Court of Roger de Boun or Bozon at Screveton being that which belongs to Orston wherein divers Fines have been levied by the Kings Writ as this was 41 H. 3. And the High Sheriff before spoken of Roger de Lovetot and four other Knights viz.

The next to Ausger that I have seen was in the time of Henry the second William Morin who married Beatrix daughter of Randulf and sister of Robert to whom he confirmed two Bovats of Land one in Kilvington and the other in Alurington which the said Robert's father had given him to be held of the said William Morin for 2s. per annum These two Bovats were confirmed to this Robert son of Randulf also by Ranulf Morin son of the said William Morin to whose Deed were also Witnesses Ranulf the Clark and Eustacinus Bailiffs of Newerch Malger de Staunton Galfr. de Musters William de Stâ—kes Raph son of Robert de Sibetorp c. This Ranulf Morin was living and Lord of this Mannor in the former part of the Reign of Henry the third William Morin succeeded him and in the time of Edward the first three of these Morins married the three daughters of Oliver de Lovetot of Carcolston as in that place is shown Robert Morin had Ioan the eldest Ranulf his brother had Isabell the second and William Morin had Alice the youngest of the three which were sisters and at length heirs of Iohn de Lovetot son of the said Oliver William Morin had a son called Robert who held this Mannor of Hugh de Rabaz of Ardingworth by the service of 3s. 4d. which said service he the said Hugh 21 E. 3. conveyed to

The next owner that I have met with any certain knowledge of was Walter de Stradlegh who married Isilia the widow of William de Moiz in or near the time of King Henry the first as in Chillewell is said by whom he had a son called Samson de Stradleg who 22 H. 2. gave account for ten Marks of his amercements in the Forest.

Adam Parson of the Church of Esthwayt impleaded the Prior of Lenton and others because they disseised him of Common of Pasture in about one hundred and fifty Acres of Pasture in Fulwode the said Prior pleaded that Fulwode was neither Burgh Town Village nor Hamlet which the Parson could not gainsay and so was cast Adam de Markham the same time had another Assise or Tryal being the same Parson of the Church of Esthwait for the same and then the Prior pleaded it was in

Standish of Newark of the said Sir Roger Cooper which is also now the possession of the said Samuel Ellis all which was the Demesne and Thomas Cliffe and Iohn Cliffe of Stoke and Iohn Cliffe of Nott. have purchased the Ferry Farms c. of Fiscarton 1673. of the said Henry Plumtre as I hear Gourton Bleseby Noâ—â—own Gibsmere GOurton Bleseby and Noetown I suppose were involved in Suthwell in Doomsday Book wherein is shown that Raph Fitz Hubert had in Gipesmare and Mortun Land rated to the Geld or Tax at one Car. three Bov. of the Soc of Sudwelle which Land was three Carucats and an half and both before the Conquest and at the time of making that survey in the latter part of the Conquerours reign also was valued at 28s.

King Eadwy granted to his beloved Bishop Oscytel who was also Arch-bishop of York part of his Land at Sudwellan twenty Farms for an Heritage with all their Appurtenances yet King Edgar brother and successour of Eadwy in the Certificate into the Court of Augmentation is said to be the ancient Founder However the Conquerours great Survey reciting the Land of the Arch-bishop of York in Snottinghamseire in Torgarton Wapentac shows that

Sub-deacons Choristers and other Ministers which belonged to it there was scarce subsistence for forty This Priory the said King did uphold to be of the value of fourteen pounds per annum above all reprisals and if it should be recovered from this Church or be defective in that summ he promised Lands of that value some where else and likewise granted the said Arch-bishop or Chapter or their successours licence to purchase twenty-pounds a year more notwithstanding the Statute of Mortmain These Vicars had likewise in this County the Rectory of Knesale to which that of Boughton was united

Processions and Burials and other things there to be done and the house anciently built for their dwelling being old and ruinous and scituate far from the Church and the way between dirty and deep

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.

St. Katherins Kirkestede and Neubo in Lincolnshire Croxton and Burton Lazars in Leicestershire Mountgrace in Yorkshire Shelford Brodholme and St. Leonards Hospital in this County and some others Besides here were a great company of Chantryes in the Church of Newark which is now one of the fairest Parish Churches I ever saw but I cannot think the present Fabrick older than Henry the sixth if so old Yet I suppose it better than all the ten mentioned in Doomsday Book which I guess were not all in the Town though in the Soc. Who built it or Founded all the Chantryes I cannot yet discover Here was one at the Altar of All Saints two at the Altar of the Holy Trinity one of St. Nicholas one of Corpus Christi one of Mary Magdalen another called William Saucemers another William Newarks Besides here were divers parcels of Land and several Houses given to the maintenance of Priests that were in the nature of Chantries Here was also a certain great House of Friers of the Order of St. Augustine which was granted from the Crown 35 H. 8. to Richard Andrewes and Nicholas Temple and their heirs Sir Iohn Markham had it and since it was Sir Francis Leekes dwelling House and also the Lord Deyncourts his sons but his son the present Earl of Sâ—arsdale sold it lately to Mr. Matthew Ienison the present owner Next it Southwards stands another great House called the Chantry in which dwelt William Leck half brother of the said Lord Deyncourt and Father of the present Sir Francis Leek Knight and Baronet who made it also his principal residence Next that is the Free-School which together with a Song-Schoole scituate on the North-west point of the Church-yard for an Organist and six Queristers was Founded by Thomas Magnus Arch-deacon of the East Rideing of Yorkshire and Warden of the Colledge of Sibthorpe in this County which after the dissolution he had for life it being granted to him and Richard Whalley Esquire and the heirs of Richard 37 H. 8. as in that place is shown By an old Tradition in the Town Printed by Dr. Thomas Fuller in his Englands Worthyes he is said to have been found in the Church Porch of Newarke and having neither Father nor Mother was by the people called Thomas Amang us but it appear to be otherwise in his Deed of Settlement wherein he mentions Iohn Magnus his Father and Alice his wife his Mother and Ioane Elizabeth and Katherine his sisters His Arms possibly but of his own time are still in several places of the School and other-where Bendy of six pieces Vert and Gules on a Fesse Or a Lion Passant between two Cinquefoiles of the second with his Motto under AS GOD WILL.
