Ratcliffe on Sore Doomesd Radeclive THis Town whose name importeth as much as Red Hill or Bank scituate upon the River of Sore and nearer the River Trent than Kinston was also Taynland and before the Norman Invasion Osgod was owner of a Mannor here which usually then paid to the publick Tax as ten Bovats ¼ The Land was six Carucats Afterwards Sauvinus named in Kinston held it of the King William and had two Carucats or Plows or Plowlands nine Villans three Bordars having two Carucats Here was then a Priest and a Church and one Mill 10s. and six Acres of Medow the value then was 60s. but in King Edward the Confessors time 100s. It had Soc in Chineston which hath been ever accounted as a membeâ— of it and was of the Parish as was also Thrumpton which yet was not of the same fee at all though the Tythes belonged to this Church of Radclive which was shortly after this time given by one of the ancient Constables of Chester as appears by the confirmation of Roger the Constable to the Priory of Norton which Roger died in the year 1211. He mentions Iohn his Father and William the younger who was son of William son of Nigellus all Constables of Chester and their gifts and amongst the rest the Church of
liberty he should use himself if he would have made one and would that all his heirs should know that he gave it for a sin which he did agâ—inst them and that they should remit it and grant him and his heirs to be paâ—takers of all the good which they should do William Clement Prior of Hellesham was a Witness to his Deed. Alice the daughter of Elias de Amundevill in the Sheriff of Lincolnshire's account 2 Ioh. ought twenty Marks for having recognizance whether Elias her Father gave her the Town of Wintertorp to marry her so that she was seized of it in her Fathers life time and after his death till Ioslenus her brother disseised her while she was in his custody This Iolanus son of Elias de Amundevill confirmed the Hospital of Ellesham he married Ermetrida Niece to the Earl of Aumerle and his son Peter de Amundevil left a daughter and heir called Ermetrida married to William de Dive whose son Iohn Dive mentioned in Balderton left his Estate to his two sisters and heirs there named which were married to the two excellent Families Bussy and Deisney some of which are yet in being though much lessened in Estate This last mentioned Wintertorp may perhaps be in Lincolneshire for this Wynethorp is said to be an Eschaet and that it was of 12l. yearly value and that the Bishop of Lincoln Lord of Newark held it of the gift of King Iohn with which place it hath usually gone Howbeit certain it is that the Prior of Ellesham was Patron here of this Rectory in whose time it was valued at 10l. 'T is now 7l. 11s. 0d. ob in the Kings Books and his Majesty Patron 'T is now reported to be annexed to Newark in the new Charter Feb. 8. 1672. Landford AT this place before the coming of the Normans Leuric had a Mannor which usually answered to the Publick Tax at two Car. three Bov. 1 â— The Land of it being for eight Plows or eight Car. Afterwards it became the Fee of Goisfride de Wirce whose Man or Tenant Ranulf is certified to have had two Car. ½ and sixteen Sochm. seventeen Villains four Bord. having seven Car. There was a Priest and a Church two Mills 12s. one Piscary one hundred Acres of Medow In King Edward the Confessours time this was 4l. value in the Conquerours 4l. 10s. Mr. Dugdale in his Book of Warwickshire shows that Wirce his Lands were by King Henry the first granted to Nigel de Albany Progenitor of the Family of Mowbray who 't is likely did enfeoff Robert de Ayvill mentioned in Egmanton of this Mannor For Iohn de Auvill gave 40s. in the seventh year of King Iohn for having a certain Precipe that William de Mumbray should restore unto him Landford with the Appurtenances to wit a Knights Fee which Robert de Auvill Father of the said Iohn gave in marriage to Roger de Caily with Iane his sister then dead who had a son who died without any heir at all so that for want of heir the Fee ought to return to the said Iohn son and heir of the said Robert The next I find here was Richard de Grey of Codnor paying his Mark for half a Knights Fee in the former part of the Reign of Henry the third William de Grey of Sandiacre in Darbishire 53 H. 3. had Free Warren here who I suppose was enfeoffed of this Mannor by the said Richard whom I guess to be his brother William died about this year and his son Richard was his heir who married Lucia the daughter and heir of Robert de Harestaâ— Lord of Sutton in the Dale in Darbishire and Harestan in Leicestershire and Hickling in this County as in that place may be seen where it also appears that this Lordship with the rest became the inheritance of Iohn Leek said to be younger brother of Simon Leek of Cotham in right of his wife Alice Grandchild of Edward Hillary and Alice Grey by Iohn Grey their son and heir This Iohn Leek and Alice his wife who after the death of her sister Isabel without issue about 14 H. 6. became sole heir had a son called William Leek who by Catharin his wife the daughter of Sir Thomas Chaworth Knight had a younger son called Thomas Leek of Hasland whose daughter Elizabeth the wife of Iohn Hardwyk Esquire was mother of Elizabeth the wife of Sir William Cavendish afterwards Countess of Shrowsbury the great instrument of placing the two Illustrious Houses of Newcastle and Devonshire in these parts but his eldest son was Iohn Leeke of Sutton who by his wife Elizabeth the daughter of Sir Iohn Savage had two sons Iohn and Thomas and three daughters Catharin wife to Sir Godfr Foljambe Miriel to Sir Thomas Waterton and Elizabeth to Iohn Frechevile He was buried in Sutton Chancel 24 March 1504. and by his Will committed the said Thomas his son who was called Leek of Williamthorpe to Thomas Savage Lord Arch-bishop of York to be ordered concerning his marriage and gave to Thomas Leek of Hasland his brother before named and noted more particularly in Leke Lands in Carleton juxta Gedling this same Iohn Leek had Lands in the Counties of Nott. Derb. Linc. 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.
