The Kings Thanes I might here proceed to recite out of this most excellent Record what Mannors each of these had and who had them in King Edward's time before the Conquest but to avoid repetition I shall only do it as I mention the several Townships in each Wapentac and begin with the most Southerly Rushcliff there written Risclive so called probably because the usual meeting place of the Hundred was at or near some Rushy Hill or Bank it now contains another Hundred which the Book of Doomsday in some place calls Plumptree Hundred In the Record called Nomina Villarum made in the ninth year of the Raign of King Edward the second Riseclive is returned but half a Wapentac and the King Lord of it in which there is no mention of the Town of Plumptrée nor of many other Villages which yet lie promiscuously amongst those that are there named so that we cannot certainly from thence conclude that those omitted made up Plumptrée Hundred Ioan the Wife of Thomas de Holland Chr. was found to be Sister and Heir of Iohn late Earl of Kent 26 E. 3. and aged 25 years who died seized of the Town of Allerton under Shirewood as in that place will also be noted and a certain Wapentac of Riscl and Plumptrée of the Towns there adjoining with the Pleas of Court then valued at l. 3s. 4d. per annum which I suppose was the Hundred Court The several Townships which now constitute or are contained in this Wapentac shall follow beginning with Stanford before named which is near the Town of Lughborough in the County of Leicester towards which 't is like there was some Stony ford in the River Soure upon which this Town of Stanford is scituate which occasioned its name Before the invasion of the Normans Elsi had a Mannor here which was charged to the Danegeld or Tax of those times as ten Bovats or Oxgangs The Land was then sufficient for two Ploughs or was esteemed two Carucats but afterwards it became the Fee of Roger de Busli whom King William the Conquerour made the greatest man of Lands in this County by many degrees for the great survey taken in that Kings Raign shows that in this small Shire he had one hundred seventy four Mannors being the best part of ninety Townships besides very many other Towns which were partly or wholly Soc to some of them His Seat in this County was at Blyth and in Yorkshire at Tikhill Here he had one Plough-land or Carucat five Sochmen or Free-holders three Villanes or Husbandmen two Bordars or Cotagers having two plows plow-lands or Carucats here was half a Mill six shillings eight pence and eleven Acres of Medow All which in the time of King Edward the Confessor were valued at thirty shillings but when this Doomsday Book was made viz. in the latter part of the Conquerors but at ten shillings having Soc in Normentune Ernaldus Rogerus de Busli ob 1099-Muriel Jordan de Bully Rogerus sine prole temp H. 1.

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.

Yet the Bishop of Lincolne 14 E. 1. complained of him that he had set up Gallows at Collingham and there hanged a Thief to the derogation of the liberty of his Wapentach of Newark which the Bishop held of the grant of the Kings Predecessours to which the Abbat answered That the Kings Father in the thirty seventh year of his Reign granted to him and his Successours Infangthef and Utfangthef in all his Hundreds and Demesnes and so he avowed his Gallows and complained against the Bishop That he took two Horses and six Cows at Newark and drove them to his Parc or Pound and there detained them The Bishop pleaded that he held the Wapentac of the gift of the King within which are the two Towns of Collingham which the said Abbat held and for which he ought to make suit at the said Wapentac by three men of each Town from three weeks to three weeks and because the suit was with-drawn he took the Horses and Kine at last they agreed the Abbat being constrained to pull down his Gallows and submit The Bishop of Lincoln 10 E. 3. impleaded divers men of North and South Colingham for that when his Bayly had taken divers Cattel of several condemned and out-law'd persons of the said Towns same whereof were hanged as the Goods of Felon◠and Fugitives belonging to him in right of his Wapentac of Newark and impounded them the said men broke the Pound and took the Cattel and had them away for which they answer They are not culpable but the Agreement before mentioned 14 E. 1. between Oliver Bishop of Lincolne and the Abbat will end the strife The Grand Assise 53 H. 3. at Darby between Rob. de Collingham and Iohn de Hyrst Compl. and Walter son of Galfr. and Walter de Markham concerning Common of Pasture which the two Walters exacted in the Lands of the said Robert and Iohn in Collingham was respited till the Octaves of St. Michael at Leicester because Nicholas de Eyvill Robert de Markham Robert de Burstall Richard de Weston Benedict de Rolleston Richard de Grey Raph Barry Philip de Colewick Bryan de Herdeby Simon de Gringeley Walter de Touk Thomas de Bella aquâ Galfr. de Staunton Robert de Stokes Iohn de Vilers Roger de Alneto Knights chosen came not and were therefore amerced Here was a Mannor in North Colingham which the Leeks of Landforth held of the Abbat of Peterburgh These Towns still belong to that Church and the Honourable Anchetill Grey son of Henry Earl of Stanford is the Grand Lessee he married Anne the eldest of the three daughters and co-heirs of Sir Henry Willoughby of Risley in Darbishire the relict of Sir Thomas Aston and mother of Sir Willoughby Aston The Rectory of South Collingham was 20l. when the Abbat of Peterburgh was Patron 'T is now 14l. 1s. 10d. in the Kings Books and the Bishop of Peterburgh Patron The Vicarage of North Collingham was 8l. when the said Abbat was Patron 'T is now in the Kings Books 8l. 19s. 2d. and the Dean and Chapter of Peterborow Patrons The holy Abbess St. Ebba and her Nuns who defaced themselves lest they should be deflowred by the Heathen Danes are reported to have had their residence at Collingham but I having seen nothing certain of it must leave her to Coldingham in Scotland a Cell of Durrham where there is more certain notice of her Dernethorpe Dordenthorpe MOst of this Hamlet seems to be involved in Collingham yet the Book of Dooms-day shows part of it to be of the Soc of Houton of the Fee of Raph de Limesi which was rated to the Geld or Tax at one Bov.

Roger son of Roger de Mortein being then found his next heir which Roger had a Charter of Free Warren the same year for Wollaton and Cossale in this County Eyum and Riselle in Darbyshire and Walesalle in Staffordshire it seems he was Nephew and heir of his Uncle the said William Mortayne The Jury 7 E. 2. returned it no damage to the King c. if Roger de Morteyn granted and assigned fourscore Acres of Wood in Wollaton and the Advowsons of the Churches of Wollaton and Cossale to Richard Willoughby and his heirs William son of Sir Roger de Mortein 11 E. 2. granted to Richard de Willoughby Knight the whole Mannor of Wollaton except the Capital Mess. c. This Sir Rochard de Willughby was son of Richard de Willoughby son of Raph Bugge of Nottingham the original Ancestor of divers good Families as in Willoughby on the Woldes may be observed and in some other places of this Book That branch of Bingham bore for their Arms three Waterbougets upon a Fesse being it seems from the eldest son this of Willoughby divided the Fesse into two Bars with two Budgets on the uppermost and one upon the lower as the Seal of Sir Richard Willoughby appendant to his Deed bearing date 17 E. 3. whereby he passed the Advowson of the Church of Stanton on the Wold to Sir Gervas de Clifton yet remaining at Clifton manifesteth This first Sir Richard de Willuby did increase his Patrimony very well in divers places and added to it much Land which he purchased of the Morteins both in this place and elsewhere he died 18 E. 2. seised of the Mannors of Wollaton and Willughby and the third part of Riseley and Lands in Ingleby and Aylwaston in Derbyshire which the Kings Eschaetor took into his hands the seventh of April after and delivered them the seventeenth of May following to Richard de Willuby his son and heir who was then found to be above thirty years old This second Sir Richard was the very great advancer of his Family being a Judge from the 3 E. 3. to the 31 E. 3. and sometimes Chief Justice when Galfr. le Scrop the Chief Justice was gone on the Kings business beyond the Seas He married Isabell the daughter of Roger de Mortein and had the Town of Cossale of his gift which he gave to Sir Richard his son who married the sister of Sir Iohn de Grey but died without issue as did also Roger another son so that the entail he had made of Riseley and other Lands 11 E. 3. brought the Inheritance to Hugh Willoughby Clark his next son who died the 14 Sept. 7 H. 4. and the Jury found Bertram Monboucher son of Bertram son of Isabella his sister and William Malory son of Robert son of Marjory his other sister his heirs as Iohn Malory son of Robert son of this William did afterwards claim But this Hugh the Clergy-man had a wife or Concubine called Ioane de Riseley by whom he had a daughter named Felice married to Iohn Armstrong of Thorpe and a son called Hugh Willoughby who married Ioan daughter of Sir Iohn Dabrigecourt Knight by whom he had a son Hugh Willoughby of Risley who married Isabell daughter of Sir Gervase Clifton and bore the Arms of his mother viz. Ermine three Bars Humett as appeareth by his Grave-stone in Wilne Church upon which those Arms of Dabrigecourt impale with Cliftons From these are descended the Willoughbies of Risley WOLLATON HALL Sir Galfr. Bakepuz and his wife the Lady Amicia demised during their lives the Mill called Ingram Scituate on the Léene between Lenton and Wollaton by the way-side which leads from Nott. to Derby to the Prior and Covent of Lenton for 20s. per annum and the Multure of their House and Family of Wollaton and the Town of Wollaton was to grinde there for the twentieth grain which Suit Hugh de Weloghby Lord of Wollaton also granted for his life to Sir Galfr. the Prior and the Covent of Lenton 8 H 4. to their said Mill upon the same tearms and Thomas Elinham the Prior and the said Covent 1 H. 6. demised the said Mill with the said Suit to Iohn Botre for ten years for 3l. per an The Jury 25 E. 3. found it not to the Kings loss if he granted to Sir Richard de Willughby the elder licence to give a Mess. and two Bovats of Land in Wollaton to two Chaplains in the Parish Church of Wollaton The Chantry House of St. Anthony in Willerton was granted 24 Iuly 3 E. 6. to William Nevell Esquire amongst many other things The Rectory of Wollaton was 12l.
while in possession of this Lordship which said Nicholas Strelley lives now in Nottingham upon some ingenious Manufactures in Glass which he spins and orders very commendably The Coals the chief profits of Strelley are not so plentiful now as formerly William de Strelley son of Galfr. de Strelley by a Fine 14 E. 2. settled one Mess. ten Bov. and an half and one Rood of Land with the Appurtenances in Strelley Cossale and Bilburgh on Sir Robert Strelley Knight for life and afterwards on William son of Sir Robert for life remainder to Sir Robert and his heirs The Rectory of Stirley was 8l.

This Mannor hath gone along with Strelley as it still doth some part of it being in Strelley Park The Rectory of Bilburgh was 10l. 'T is now 6l. 2s. 6d. in the Kings Books and the last Patron that I have found is George Strelley as his Ancestors used to be formerly Broxtow Broculstowe 'T Is like this place in ancient time was made use of for the people of the Hundred to meet in because it gives name to the Wapentak Here was of the Soc of Ernehale Ancient Demesne as much as was rated to the Dane-geld at one Bovat but in the time of the Conquerours Survey it was waste and of William Peverells Fee here were five Acres which lay to Nuthale but here was also a Mannor in Broculstowe of the Fee of Robert Fitz-William which before the Conquest was Godrics and answered the Tax for three Bovats the Land of it being so much here the said Robert had one Car. and one Vill.

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.

Rent was held of Sir Henry Willoughby as of the Mannor of Estwayt However some Lands here came by inheritance from the Tevereys to William Palmes Esquire with Stapleford and Eyton in Darbyshire and other Lands which he got an Act of Parliament to enable him to sell and hath sold this accordingly to Hen.

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.
