Leicest and Worcester he gave four hundred Marks towards the building of Sutton Church making of his Tomb and paying his debts and was succeeded by Sir Iohn Leeke his son and heir who 10 Decemb. 14 H. 8. 1522. being about to go in the Army into Scotland under the most Noble Captain the Kings Lieutenant General and Steward of England the Earl of Showsbury made his Will and either died or was slain for it was proved 10 Oct. 1523. whereby it appears that he had three natural daughters Susan Elizabeth and Dorothy begotten on the body of Anne Mainwaring who was with Child when he made his Will His wife was Iane the daughter of Henry Foljambe Esquire by whom he had Anne and Katherin the wife of Francis Mering and two sons Francis who married Elizabeth and Iohn who married Margaret the daughters of Sir William Paston of Norfolk the Lands mentioned in his Will are at Sutton in le Dale Sandiacre Hickling Normanton Chesterfeild Huknall Torcard Little Léek Great Léek Notingham Stoke by Newark Lanforth Colewick Carcolston and Wiverton His son Sir Francis Leeke in the beginning of the Reign of Queen Eliz. obtained the other part of this Lordship whereof Robert de Perpount was Lord in 9 E. 2. to whose Family it continued with Holme Perpont where it is also mentioned till that time but he shortly after sold the whole to George then Earl of Shrowsbury It hath since been purchased by Iohn More Dr. of Physick and by him left to Sir Edw. More his Nephew Baronet of Nova Scotia who leaving four daughters and no son Iohn More of Kirtlington another of the Doctors Nephews succeeded and left Iohn More his son and heir the present owner
who married my Lord of Dunbar's sister Sir Francis Leek died 1 Aug. 22 Eliz. and left a son and heir of his own name who was Knighted at Gréenwich 1 Iun. 1601. 43 Eliz. and made Baronet at the first Creation of that honour 9 Iac. His first wife was Frances the daughâ—er of Robert Swift by whom he had Sir Francis Leeke creaâ—ed Lord Deyncourt and afterwards Earl of Scarsdale Father of Nicolas the present Earl His second wife was Mary the daughter of Iohn Egioke of Worcestershire after his death married to Sir Gervas Clifton on whom he begot William Leek commonly called â—quire Leak the Father of Sir Francis Leek of Newark Knight and Baronet the present Lord of Sandiacre There was a Moore and Common in Landford belonging to St. Iohns of Hierusalem which 18 Decemb. 6 E. 6. were granted to Edward Fynes Knight Lord Clynton and Saye and Henry Hereson and their heirs there were Lands and Commons in Barnebie and Landford late belâ—nging to the said Priory of St. Iohns of Ierusalem 4 Oct. 28 Eliz. granted to Sir Christopher Hatton Knight and his heirs And 21 Oct. 30 Eliz. to Edward Wymark Gent. and his Possibly that Priory had the Church also Mr. More hath the Tythes Mering KIng Williams Land here was rated to the Geld at six Bovats and an half It should seem it or part of it became afterwards of the Earl of Richmonds Fee because Richard de Sutton is said to hold of that Honour a Knights Fee in Sutton Carleton and Meringes And before that I find that Alan de Mering son of Harvei by the grant of Hervei de Sutton his Lord gave one place of Land in the territory of Mering to the Canons of Radeford by Wirksop The first of this Family which had their name from their residence here that I can reconcile to any certainty of time was Gillebertide Meringes who granted to Raph Murdac High Sheriff of these Counties 30 H. 2. six Acres of Medow in Meringes in that called Esteng which Roger de Caisneto held of him for 2s. per annum as the said Raph Murdac was to do who gave it away to the Priory of Lenton for the health of his own soul and of Alexander de Cheinai's and together with it for the more abundant firmness and security of his said gift the writing which he had from the said Gilbert de Meringges for which after his death the Monks were to make him a perpetual Anniversary as for one of their Advocates or principal Benefactors The next whom I have found of this place was Gerard de Mering in the beginning of the Reign of Henry the third In the 40 H. 3. Roger de Luvetot the Sheriff gave account of 2 Marks of Gilb. de Mering and Ivetta his wife for having a Writ of Attaint Robert de Mering 32 E. 1. claimed the hearing of a Writ which Guychard de Charun Lord of Sutton by Mary his wife one of the co-heirs procured against him for services at Mering due to the said Guichard but it appeared by the date of the Writ that it was obtained eight daies before the fault was said to be made therefore he had nothing by it But this Guichard I take upon further consideration to be son of him who married the co-heir but not by her as in Sutton may be observed for I find Sir Robert de Mering Knight held of Iohn de Muscam son of Gilbert and Agnes de Sutton another co-heir all his Tenements in Mering by Foreign service and that the said Robert redeemed the said Service and Ward of his hâ—irs of the said Iohn After the said Robert succeeded Iohn de Mering his son whose son and heir Thomas married the daughter of Peter Foun of Marcham who had the custody of the said Thomas under age Peter Foun had a son and heir called Iohn who died without issue and Thomas Mering became his heir in right of his wife Alice who had been the wife of Nicolas de Widmerpole and Robert son of Nicolas de Widmerpole had a Suit against Sir Thomas son and heir of Iohn son of Robert de Mering 3 E. 3.

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

William together with his wife Matilda 32 E. 1. did make a demise of certain Lands in Newton to one Raph del Clay of Bingham for twelve years which the said Matilda and Margaret her sister held by right of inheritance which I conclude with very good probability was from Walter de Boyvill their Father who was resident at and owner of some Lands in Torlaston and of the Family of Wariâ—us de Boyvill of Cotgrave for I have only one other Deed which is without date but the Witnesses show it to be about the latter end of Henry the third concerning those demised Lands by which Alesia the daughter of William Bellard of Herdeby gave to Walter de Boyvill her Nephew and his heirs those and some other Lands in Newton and some in Carcolston and a Croft there called Tuâ— Croft reserving to herself 40s. a year for her life The Croft in Carcolston was afterwards called Boyvile-croft and I have a Close there which yet bears the name of Bellard or Bullard Leyes This William de Thurverton out-lived Galfr. his son as I suppose whose son Robert and Marjory his wife passed away some few Acres in Orston by a Deed without date though in the time of Edw. 2.

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.

Broxstowe answered for half a Villa and Iohn de Broxstowe was Lord of it By an Inquisition taken at Nott. the Saturday after the Feast of St. Michael 7 H. 6. before Thomas Mapurley and his fellow Commissioners it appears that the Jury of which Iohn Broxstowe was one found that in the Parish of Broxtowe there were not then ten Inhabitants who were House-keepers or Housholders Henry Lord Grey of Codnour about 22 H. 6. died seised of this Mannor then said to be held of the Soke of Arnale The Mannor of Brokestow with the Appurtenances two Mess. one Vill. sixty two Acres of Land and thirty two of Medow in Baseford and Allesworth were settled by a Fine 14 E. 4. on Thomas Parker and Ioane his wife and the heirs of their Bodies remainder to the heirs of Ioane In 7 H. 8.

Judgement was respited because the Court considered that the Town being put out of the Forest it was discharged from the Putura provisions of the Foresters and every other burden of the Forest neither did the Kings Deer common within the bounds of the said Town nor had the men or Tenants of the Town any Land within the bounds of the Forest to intitle them to challenge any Common there Whereupon the men desired the Common to be arrented and accordingly granted the King 5â— per annum for licence of Commoning at all times within the Forest with all manner of Cattel as they were wont and so it was determined The Archbishops Fee the two Prebendaries of Oxton who divide the Tythes here and in many other places besides where they have shares as at Calverton Blidworth Woodborough Crophill c. still continue their interest in and still have as they ever had the usual priviledges allowed as in Southwell may be discerned Roger de Buslies was held by Robert de Somerville of the Lord Lovetot of Wirksop Robert de Sumerville and his Son who was Robert also 22 H. 2. gave account to the Sheriff of x.

This Iohn had several sons Eustachius Richard Chester Gaufr Robert Constable of Chester but his eldest son Roger Lacy the Constable for troubling the Welch got the name of Helle he with a sudden raised Company of Shoomakers and Players relieved Ranulf Earl of Chester Besieged in a Castle in Wales for which the said Earl gave him and his heirs the Dominion and Advowson of those kind of people which it seems this Roger gave to his Senescal one of the heirs of Hudard whom his brother Nigellus before-named made Senescal of his Barony because the Duttons Jurisdiction and Inheritance is excepted out of the Statutes 39 Eliz. and 1 Iac. concerning Vagabonds and Rogues This Roger married Matilda de Claere sister of the Treasurer of the Church of Yorke and by her had Iohn the second Constable of Chester whom he left to succeed him 1211. after whose death the said Iohn took to wife Alesia daughter of Gilbert de Aquila and after her death Margaret the daughter of Robert de Quenci Niece of Ranulf Earl of Chester and by-her was made Earl of Lincolne 1221. 5 H. 3. on whom he begot Edmund de Lacy Constable of Chester but not Earl of Lincolne because his mother over-lived him Iohn died the eleventh of the Kal. of August 1240. 24 H. 3. and his son Edmund 1248. after he had begotten his son Henry de Lacy Earl of Lincolne on his wife Alesia daughter of the Marquess of Saluces in Italy her mother after the death of her husband the said Marquess was married to Menfred son of Frederic the Emperour who begat on her Constancia wife of Peter son of Iames King of Arragon In the year 1282.

Roger de Ayncurt is certified to have held a Knights Fee in Morton of Oliver de Ayncurt of the old Feoffment but 't is Morton in Darbyshire The Family of Cressover were owners and resident here There was an agreement between Henry de la Cressover and Richard the Prior of Thurgarton that the Prior should have the Fishing of Holmsike and a certain Barn or Grange built upon the land of the Monastery in the fields of Fiskerton and Morton without any disturbance and that only Henry and his heirs should fish in Livpole and Capelingpole and that he and his Successors should have a way under the Parc of the Prior and Covent towards Southwell and they should have reasonable passage for their Cattel of Fiskerton through his Medow on the Trent bank to their Ox-pasture Will. de la Cressovere of Morton by Southwell in 17. and 18 E. 3. by Fine conveyed his Mannor of Morton and one Mess. and two Bovats in Farnesheld to Benedict de Normanton excepting six Tofts fourteen Bovats of Land 7s. 1d. rent and the third part of a Mess. whereof he passed also the reversion part of it being then held by Clementia who had been wife of Iohn de la Cressovere and William brother of Iohn for life and some little by Maud and Amicia daughters of the said Iohn de La Cressovere Some of this Land 15 R. 2. belonged to the Priory of Thurgarton and I find that Thomas de Normanton 13 H. 4. had interest here but further I find not and therefore suppose it might be conveyed by him to the Priory as Annesleys Land was Viz. one Mess. two Tofts six Bovats of Land which Iohn de Horspole Clark Thomas Normanton of Normanton and William Snawe Chaplain had of the Feoffments of john Willughby Esquire and Thomas de Willughby Knight were the Wednesday after Christmas 13 H. 4. by their deed then dated at Morton whereto were witnesses Sir Iohn la Zouch Knight Sir Nicolas Strelley Knight Sir William Nevile Knight Sir Iohn Birton Knight c. Raph de Annesley Knight had two sons Reginald the elder and Raph to whom his Father gave the said six Bovats in Morton of this Raph came Robert de Annesley his son and heir of whom came Iohn the Father of another Iohn who had a daughter and heir called Isabell married to Iohn Ashewell to whom by Fine she gave the said Land who passed it to Richard de Winwyk and William de Gunthorp they to Richard de Crumwell he to Iohn de Willughby and others they to Iohn de Horspole and the rest as before is said There was an Assize 18 E. 1. between Robert de Annesley Plaintiff and Agnes who had been the wife of Henry son of Sewall Defendant concerning a place of Land sixty foot long and forty broad in Fiskerton and Morton the Jury said that Robert was never in seisin but they found that Term that she unjustly obstructed a certain way in Fiskerton and Morton so that the said Robert could not drive his goods directly from his Tenement in Morton to his pasture of Mardelok and the More c. Fiskerton Grange 3 and 4 Ph. and Mar. was granted to Edward Fynes Knight Lord Clinton and Say and Thomas Morryson it was rated at 7l. 12s. 8d. and in the Parish of Rolston Quen Elizabeth 21 Ian. 4 Eliz. granted to Thomas Cooper Esquire and his heirs all the Tythes and Demesne and Mannor of Fiskerton and Morton and the Capital Mess. called Ashwel-hall in Morton and a little Close called the Park and other Lands and Pastures belonging to it and other Lands with the Passage of Fiskerton and two Water-mills on the River Greet and Lands in Gourton and Bleseby belonging to the Priory of Thurgarton c. Sir Roger Cooper sold Ashwell-hall and the Mannor and some Farms in Moreton 1646. and the Mannor of Fiskerton and Moreton and the Ferry at Fiskerton and the Tythes and Farms there in the year 1649. to Huntingdon Plumtre Esquire Dr. of Physick whose son and heir Henry Plumtre Esquire is the present owner of the said Mannor and Farms in Morton and the Tythes of Fiscarton And I suppose Sir Roger sold some in Fiskerton about or before that time to Thomas Atkinson of Newark which Robert Atkinson his son hath since sold to Samuel Ellis And some more in Fiskerton was also purchased by Ed. 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. This the Lords of Annesley held and it descended as in Moreton may be seen Robert de Burstall Knight gave to William son
of William of Car Coleston with Ales his daughter 6s. 6d. rent in the Town of Gouerton to be perceived of Iohn son of Hugh de Gouerton and his heirs the summ of 4â— and of Iohn son of Albert 2s. 6d. which the said William and Ales after him gave to the Priory of Thurgarton and the said Sir Robert de Burstall confirmed And also gave one Bovat of Arable with Medow in the Fields and Medows of Gouerton and Bleseby and all his Medow in Smething and a Toft in Bleseby and another Bovat in the said Fields and Medows and confirmed several Lands given to maintain the Fabrick of the Church of Thurgarton as for example one Wong with the head-land upon Brecum lying between land of the Chaplain of Bleseby on the West and the Land of Henry son of Robert de Gipesmere on the East which Thomas son of Alan de Gouerton sold to William de Blitheworth for five Marks who gave it for the Soul of Robert de Oxon Canon of Southwell all or most of which Iohn son of the said Sir Robert de Burstall also confirmed There were many other parcels in this territory given to the said Fabrick Dru son of Iohn son of Richard de Gipesmere gave five Selions which his father had given before Iohn son of Hugh de Gouerton gave an Acre of Medow in Smething and Richard called the Cementar son of Hugh de Gourton three Selions and an Head-land and the like which Iohn son of Robert de Burstal confirmed also to the said Fabrick lying all in the fields of Gouerton and Bleseby By a fine 13 E. 2. Robert de Burstall of Birton passed the Mannor of Bleseby to Iohn de Crumbewell and by another Fine 14 E. 2. it was settled on Richard de Crumbewell and the heirs of his body for want whereof it was to revert to the said Iohn de Crumbewell and his heirs Alice who had been the wife of Robert de Cressover then held the said Mannor for term of her life In the time of E. 3. it was Raph de Crumwells as in Baseford may be noted Maud the Cousin and heir of Raph Lord Crumbewell widow of Robert Lord Willoughby levied a Fine 21 E. 4. of the Mannor of Bleseby with the Appurtenances and of two Mess. four Tofts one hundred Acres of Land twenty of Medow sixty of Pasture and 29s.

Willoughby of Wollaton and is now the inheritance of the Marquess of Dorchester purchased I suppose by his rather Robert Earl of Kingston There was a Fine levyed 20 E. 3. between Iohn son of Thomas de Sireston and Margaret his wife Quer. by William de Batheley Keeper or Guardian of the said Margaret and Thomas de Sireston and Amicia his wife mentioned in Streston Deforcients of two Mess. one Bovat and five Acres of Land fifteen Acres of Medow and 7d.

The other moyety came to the family of Yarborough by the daughter and heir of the said William Whalley and Barbara with which part of it still continueth North Carleton OR Carleton upon Trent THis Carleton of which name as well as Willughby there are so many in this County that they are difficultly distinguished in the Book of Doomsday I find to be of very many parcels some belonging to Norwell some to Willughby some to Besthorp some to Sutton upon Trent some to Crumbwell and some to Laxton and that the principal which was rated to the Dane-geld at one Car.

Peniston Whalley Esquire named in Willughby sold most of his share here to William Summers whose widow married as I remember to Iohn Douglasse of Newark George Fox and William Sturtivant and Charles Yarborough were also owners here 1612.

The Bishop of Lincolne it seems became supreme Lord of it because Raph de Crumbewell is certified to hold half a Knights Fee of him here of the old feoffment that is whereof his Ancestor was enfeoffed before the death of King Henry the first in whose time Alden or Haldoen who is most likely to be the Thayn in King Williams time or his son of that name was living as in Lambley and Widmerpole may be gathered This Noble Family continued Lords of this place in the Male Line till the death of the last Raph Lord Crumwell who it seems was Lord Treasurer of England 11 H. 6. and Lord Chamberlain of the Houshold 30 H. 6.
