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.

of the Illustrious owners of that place notwithstanding what will be done by my excellent friend Mr. Dugdale in his great work of the Baronage of England or in a particular one which was almost ready for the Press at the death of the last and most Noble Frances Countess of Rutland May 19. 1671. but for want of such a Mother and Nurse is like enough to be abortive and make no further appearance I shall begin therefore with the great Norman Robert de Toâ—neâ—o esteemed the builder who Founded a Priory near his Castle of Belvidere and made it a Cell of St. Albans To the endowment of Tythes and Lands which he made to it his son Berengerius was a Witness which Berengerius de Todeni the Book of Doomsday shows to have been Lord of divers Mannors in this County of Nott. But it seems his Father out-lived him because after having buried his wife Alice he the said Robert for her soul by the conâ—ent of his sons William and Geoffrey gave a Carucat of Land in Sapertun to the Church of St. Mary at Belvoyr and that William was his son and heir of his honour who I think was called William de Albini Brito from his being born in England notwithstanding in the Charter of Confirmation made by Thomas Lord Ros there seems to be two persons however he was a great Baron in the time of King Henry the first and witness to many of his Charters particularly in the year of our Lord 1133. 33 H. 1. as in several places of the Monasticâ—â— Angl. may be observed He seems to be the son of Matild de St. Liz sister of Walter son of Robert son of Richard Earl of Clare son of Gilbert but the time will scarcely bear it therefore we may rather suppose she was his wife and Mother of William de Albini his son whom I have sometimes seen called also Briâ—â— as his Father was yet it appears William de Albini Brito if that be not this second William too had another wife called Cecilia who together with himself and his son and heir William were benefactors to Thorney Abby and to his gift were Witnesses Roger and Robert his sons and his three Nephews 〈◊〉 son of his brother Galfr. â—wan and Gaâ—fr de Caâ—iâ—in one of his Deeds is to Alexander Bishop of Linc. in the time of H. 1. When the first William died I find not but I suppose both him and his son William dead 14 H. 2. for in the Pipe Roâ—â—s of that year I find though he be there named for paying the Scuâ—age for the Aid for marrying Maâ—d the Kings daughter for thirty three Knights Fees and for four more of new yet William Basset the then Sheriff of Warewiâ—h and Legrecester-shires accounted for 26l. 16s. 11d. of the issues of the honour of Belvier and for providing for the Children of William de Albineio thirty nine weeks and one month 15. and 21d. by the Kings Writ it may indeed be otherwise but I find no more of him afterwards William de Albeni the second was called sometimes Meschines and had two Wives Adeliza his first and Cecilia his second by whom he had his son and heir William de Albeni the third who was abroad with King Richard the first in his Army in Normâ—â—dy and therefore had a Quittance for his Scurage 6 R. 1. in the Counties of Bucks and Bedford It appears 10 R. 1. and 1 Ioh. that he gave DC Marks to have Agatha Trussebâ—t with her inheritance she was his second wife but I do not find he had issue by her By the consent of William de Albini the fourth his son and heir he Founded an Hospital at the Bridge of Wass between Offâ—ngton and Stanford for the health of his own soul and hers the said Agatha and for Margarets his former wife his sons William de Albini and Odinellus Nicolas and Robert de Albini were Witnesses William de Albini the fourth for the health of the soul of the Noble Lord William de Albini his Father and the soul of Margery de Vmfravile his Mother and the souls of his own wives Albreda Biset and Isabel confirmed to this Church of St. Mary of Newstead by Uffington Bridge what his Father had given Isabella this last Williams only daughter and heir who was the wife of Robert de Ros is said to be buried in this Newstead in the year 1301. The first Ancestor of this Robert that I know of was Peter de Ros who married Adelina the youngest as William de Bussey did Hawisia the eldest and Nicholas de Traisâ—y Albreda the second of the three sisters and heirs of that great and Potent Bâ—ron Walter de Espec who having an only son by his wife Adelina called also Walter Robertus de Belvedeir sive de Totencio Adelaâ—â— 2 Will. de Albini Brito 33 H. 1 -Matild de St. Liz Willielmus de Albeni Brito -Adeliza-Cecil Willielmus de Albeni -Margeria de Umfravile -Agatha Trusbut Pip. 10 R. 1.

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
Newthorp which the Jury found to be so and that the said Parson ought not to Common there A Fine was levied at York 10 E. 3. between Ranulf Pascail of Estweyt Quer. and Iohn Arnald Deforc. of the third part of the Mannor of Estweyt which was thereby settled on the said Ranulph for life remainder on Ranulf his son and Ioane the daughter of Roger de Vston and the heirs of their bodies remainder on William brother of the said Ranulph the son of Ranulph and the heirs of his body remainder to Ioane the sister of William and the heirs of hers then to Isabell and then to Agnes her sisters in like manner remainder to the right heirs of the said Ranulph Pascail Pascails part became the Tevereys of Stapleford Hugh Teverey son and heir of Robert Teverey Esquire and husband of Elizabeth daughter of Hugh Willoughby of Riseley 7 Mar. 8 H. 8. died seised of 10s. yearly Rent here which 24 H. 7. was passed to Thomas Bapthorp Chr. son and heir apparent of Raph Bapthorp and others for the use of the said Hugh and his said wife Elizabeth by the name of the Mannor of Estwayt but the Jury at that Inquisition taken at Stapulford 25 Oct. 9 H. 8. after the death of the said Hugh who left his son Robert Teverey his heir and then above twenty one years old found that the said 10s.

There afterwards Turold the man or Tenant of Roger had one Car. and seven Sochm. on five Bov. of this Land and three Vill. and three Bordars having two Car. ½ There were twenty two Acres of Medow small wood sixteen qu. long and seventy four Virg. broad In King Edward the Confessours time this was valued at 60s. in King Williams at 28s. Another great parcel of this Township was of the Fee of Walter de Ayncurt and Soc to Rolleston which answered the Geld or Tax for nine Bovats and one third of a Bov. The Land being two Car. and an half There eighteen Sochm. and three Bord. had seven Car. and an half and sixteen Acres of Medow small wood nine qu. long fifty Virg. or rods broad Another part was of the Fee of Raph de Buron where Osmund before the Norman invasion paid to the Geld as two Bov. ⅓ for his Mannor There William the Man or Tenant of Raph had one Car. and two Bordars with two Oxen plowing and nine Acres of Medow small wood eight qu. long twelve Virg. broad In the Confessours time this was 4s. in the Conquerours 15s. value Another parcel in Calum was of the Fee of Gislebert Tysun which before the Conquest was Alurics who had two Bov. ad Geld. for his Mannor The Land whereof was six Bovats There were two Sochm. one Bord. with half a Car. and six Acres of Medow small wood eight qu. long fourteen Virg. broad In the Confessours time 16s. value at the time of the Conquerours survey 3s.

That of Roger de Buslies Fee Lord of the Honour of Tikhill was held by Gilbert de Chelum whose gift to the Priory of Rufford King Stephen confirmed and William de Tulc or Tuk who for five Marks sold his in the presence and by the consent of Raph Silvain his Lord who also confirmed to the brethren of Rufford all that Land of the Fee of Tikhill which Gilbert de Kelum and William de Tulc held of him in the territory of Kelum from the west side of Buggewonge and that also tilled and untilled unto the bounds of Wyncheburne c. VVilliam del Tulc son of VVilliam del Tulc confirmed the fore-mentioned Land which his father gave in which the Sheep-house or Lathe Bercaria of the Monks was scituate which I take to be the original of Parkelathes a Grange or Hamlet in this Lordship belonging to that Monastery which was made up by the Gifts of many several persons VVilliam Tuke son of VVilliam Tuke of Kelum gave twenty four Acres of his Demesne measured by the Perch of sixteen foot lying between the Wong which Malger de Rolleston gave the said Monks and five Bovats which Malger de Staunton bestowed on them which twenty four Acres stretch from the west into the east viz. from Souhtwell way which is the bound between the fields of Wynkeburne and Kelum unto the wood

There is a descent in the Monasticon Vol. 1. p. 963. which is also in the Register of Beauvale the latter part whereof is erroneous that Robert de Muskam Senescal of Gislebert de Gaunt was father of Hugh de Muskam who was a benefactor to Rufford whose gifts King Stephen confirmed This Hugh in the presence and by the consent of his Lord Henry Murdac Arch-bishop of Yorke who lived in that Kings time gave to that Monastery all that part of the Land of his Fee of Muscam which on the west side of his Park was shut in with the bounds of three Villages viz. Kelum Winkeburne and Thorpe now Middlethorp and the seat of a Grange in his Park which with what was noted in Kelum made the Hamlet or Grange called Parkelathes and the Land on the South side of his Park where the house of Fulc stood and a Wong of his Demesne near his Park on the East side called Geniwode which last gift he made when he rendred himself to the fellowship of the Monks and by the hand of Mat. the Abbat all which and sundry others Rob. de Muschamp his son and heir confirmed as he did also what his father gave in Shipley in Darbyshire adding to the new work of the Church of Rufford and after the finishing thereof to the light of that Church for the Souls of his father and mother his own and his wifes and for the Soul of Fulco de Castilon the brother of his wife half a Mark of Silver of the Farm which Rob. de Sipley was to pay the said Monks for ever To this Deed of Robert son of Hugh de Muscamp were witnesses Roger the Prior of Ruford Iohn the Celerer Roger de Novavilla Ernisius the Monk Ioslenus de Novavilla and others Robert de Sipley and William his son and heir swore upon the holy Gospels in the presence of their Lord Robert de Muscam that they and their heirs would yearly at Pentecost owe half a mark of Silver to the Monks of Ruford for what the said Monks had in Sipley The witnesses were Robert de Muscam Hugh his brother Hugh and Robert sons of the said Robert Walter de Scekebi Adam the Clark of Muscam William de Derby G. Parvo small or little the Cellerer of Ruford Likewise Gilbert son of Fulco de Kelum in the presence of his Lord Robert de Muscham and in his Court quit-claimed to the Monks of Rufford the Toft of Fulc his father called Brunecroft in the territory of Muscam in pure Alms free and quiet as the Chartels of Hugh de Muscham and Robert his son testified and over and above gave them two Acres and an half of Arable Land lying on the South part of the way which leads from the corner of the Park of Muscham towards Carleton which Richard his brother gave them and all that Wong in the territory of Karleton which Robert de Muscham gave to the said Monks with Robert his son buried at Ruford The said Gilbert gave also eleven Acres and an half in the territory of Kelum c.

Lupus died without issue for Hugh Fitz-Raph and Agnes his wife daughter and heir of Raph de Greseley in 12 H. 3. gave account of 15l. for their relief of three Knights Fees which the said Raph de Gresele held of the Honour of Peverell Nott. viz. two in Claindon and one in Gresele with the Appurtenances Hugh Fitz-Raph for the safety or health of his own Soul and the Souls of his two wives and of Raph and Hugh his sons and all his ancestors and successors gave to the Monks of Ruford a certain part of his Wood of Muschamp near the Grange with the Land in which the Wood stood and certain Arable Land viz. that part of Wood and Land which lay on the South and West part of the new ditch which the Monks made from the corner of Bugwong named in Kellum Raph Fitz-Nicolas and Hugh-Fitz-Raph gave account of the gift of the Prelates granted to the King to marry c. Hugh Fitz-Raph held in Muschampe and Carleton one Fee of the Arch-bishop of York of the old Feoffment Hugh de Muscham in the time of H. 2. held two Fees of Roger Arch-bishop of York of the old Feoffment that is whereof his Ancestor was enfeoffed before the death of King Henry the first This Hugh Fitz-Raph left no son to succeed him but the Inheritance went to Eustachia daughter of his son Raph who was first married to Nicolas de Cantelup and after his death to William de Ros of Ingmanthorp Raph Fitz-William Lord of Grymesthorpe for a Release which Sir William de Ros of Ingmanthorp and Eustachia his wife made for themselves and their heirs to the said Raph concerning Lands and Tenements which they had in Nesham and Morton upon Swale gave to William de Ros son of the said William and Eustachia all his Mannor of South Muscham and Carleton in the year 1286. whereof a Fine was levied in 15 E. 1. William de Ros
3. offered himself against Mr. Iohn Clarel Prebend of Norwell in a Plea by what right the said Iohn exacted Common in the Land of the said Gwichard in Kerleton seeing that he had none in his neither did the said Iohn do any service whereby he ought to have Common Thomas de Lanum about 30 E. 1. left his son Roger then above sixty years old his heir of what he held here of Guichard de Charun viz. one Toft twenty seven Acres of Land six of Medow and 7s. Rent Iohn de Crumbwell 2 E. 3. had Mercat and Fair in North Carleton Richard de Willughby in 27 E. 3. had priviledge of free-warren in Béeston Sutton Passe is Kelum and North Carleton though it might be suspected by a recovery which Richard Bingham and Margaret his wife suffered 31 H. 6. amongst many others concerning Lands belonging to the family of Willughby that in North Carleton there was only one Mess. ten Acres of Land two Acres and one Rode of Medow with the Appurtenances but it seems these were not all but some particular parcel wherein Margaret had interest for by a Fine 26 E. 3. William son of Iohn de Blyton of Ledenham and Ioane his wife passed to Edmund de Willughby and his heirs one Mess. and the moyety of a Mess. and 80. Acres of Land 24. of Medow 6s. 6d. Rent and the passage over Trent with the Appurtenances in Carleton by Crumwell which moyety and parcels or the other moyety in the same words by another Fine before that viz. 25 E. 3.

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. Crumwell BEsides that part of Crumuuelle which was Soc to Aygrum of the Fee of Gislebert Tysun which was two Bov. ad Geldam the Land four Bov. where two Sochm. had one Car. there was a Mannor of the Tayn-land which Alden whose posterity took their name from this place held of the King paying to the Geld or Tax for it as two Carucats and six Bovats The Land of it was four Carucats Alden had then there one Plow or Car. and five Sochm. on one Carucat of this Land and eight Villains two Bord. having four Car. ½ There was a Church and a Mill 12d. and one Piscary or Fishing Medow six qu. long and three Broad In King Edward the Confessours time this was valued at 60s. when the Conquerours Survey was made at 40s. 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.

The Forest of Shirewood EXtends it self into the Hundreds of Broxtow Thurgarton a Lée and Bassetlawe When this Forest of Shirewood was first made I find not the first mention of it that I do find is in Henry the seconds time but I conceive it a Forest before for William Peverell in the first year of Henry the second which is mistaken for the fifth year of King Stephen doth answer de Placitis Forestae in this County It seems he had the whole profit and command of this Forest for his Estate which after coming to the Crown the Sheriff 8 H. 2. in the account of his Farm prays to be discharged of 4l. in vasto Forestae and in the tenth year of the same Kings Reign he prays the like discharge of 4l. for the waste as also allowance of 6l. 5s. paid to the Constable eight Foresters and a Warrener and to the Canons of Shirewood for Alms 40l. which I conceive to be the Prior and Monks of Newstede then newly Founded by Henry the second In the next year the Sheriff of the County Randulphus filius Engelrami answers de censu Forestae and in the twelfth year Robert de Caltz Lord of Laxton a Fermor answers for it 20l. and 15 H. 2. Reginaldus de Luci answers the like summ of 20l. pro censu Forestae in both which years Robert Fitz-Randulph was Sheriff In the ancient written Forest Books of this County there is the Copy of a Charter made by King Iohn when he was Earl of Morteyne to Matilda de Caux and Raph Fitz-Stephen her husband and to her heirs of all the Liberties and Free Customs which any of the Ancestors of the said Maud held at any time in Notinghamshire and Derbyshire viz. all the Forest of Notinghamshire and Derbyshire as their Ancestors ever held the same It came to Iohn Birking as heir to this Maud so to Thomas Birking his son and heir about 11 H. 3. and shortly after to Everingham who thereby claimed Custodiam Forestarum Regis in Com. Nott. Derby which I conceive contains no more but this Forest of Shirewood the rest being disafforested by Henry the third in the sixth year of his Reign in the summ of the Statute of Carta de Foresta With this Everingham heir to Birking and Caux it continued till Edward the first 's time and then was seised as forfeited Since the Guardianship hath been granted by the Princes to Noblemen and Gentlemen as a Character of their especial favour the state of this Fostership of Everinghams and of the whole Forest appears in an Inquisition taken by Geoffrey Langley the Kings then Justice in Eyre of his Forests beyond Trent for the Forest-Officers of Shirewood there find that there be three Keepings in the Forest First Between Léene and Doverbecke Secondly The High Forest. The Third Rumwood Robert Everingham chief Keeper of the Forest ought to have a chief Servant Sworn going through all the Forest at the costs of Robert to Attach all Trespasses and present them at the Attachements before the Verderors In the first Keeping between Liene and Doverbecke he ought to have one Forester riding with a Page and two Foresters on foot and there be two Verderors and two Agisters In this Keeping there be three Hayes Beskwood Hay Lindeby Hay and Willay Hay The second Keeping is the High Forest. In this Robert Everingham is to have two Foresters riding with two Pages and two Foresters on foot and there be also two Verderors and two Agisters In this Keeping are two Hayes Birkeland and Billahay and the Park of Clipston and in these Hayes and Parke two Verderors and two Agisters In the third Keeping Rumwoode Robert Everingham ought to have one Forester on Foot and there be two Woodwards one of Carburton another of Budby and two Verderors and two Agisters Robert Everingham ought also to have a Page bearing his Bow through all the Forest to gather Chiminage The Perambulation of this Forest was upon the Commission of 16 H. 3. thus set forth viz. At Coningswath Ford so by the High-way towards Wellay Hagh towards Nottingham leaving out the Close of the Town of Wellay from thence by that way to Blackstone Haugh from thence to that place where the River of Doverbecke goes over that way and so from thence as the River of Doverbeck goes into Trent Westerley from the Ford of Coningswath by the water called Mayden to the Town of Warksope and so by the same water to the Parke of Plesley Hagh so up
