OF this Village I have not seen any thing in Record till 19 E. 1. it being antiently re∣puted as parcel of Monkskirby, and the substance thereof belonging to the Priory there. That which is then mentioned thereof, is upon the payment of a Tenth to the Pope by all the Monasteries, as well as Churches, in England: at which time it was certified e 1.1 that the Prior of Kirby had 4. ca∣rucats of land here. But the particulars I shall not stand to mention, forasmuch as the authorities, which I have voucht in Monkskirby will mani∣fest, that it being therewith granted to the House of Carthusians in Axholme, came at length to the Crown, and so attending the possession of that Lordship (I mean of Kirby) ever since, is now in the Earl of Denbigh's hands.
