of Medow. In King Edward the Confessours time, this was 10s. when the survey was made in King Williams 3s. value.
Odo de Boney, at the first endowment of Len∣ton, in King H. 1. time, gave this Church and half the Church of Chillwell or Attenborow, which a Successor of his called Edward, and Aeliz his wife confirmed, as in Boney may be seen.
Leonia de Rennes, wife of Robert Stotevill, and Mother of Henry de Stoteville▪ had this Man∣nor, 6 Ioh. They had Kirkeby in Ashfeild also, where I shall place their Descent. Barthon is said to be an Eschaet of the Kings of the Land of the Normans, which Henry de Stoteville for∣feited, and that the value of it was 20l▪ per annum, and that Earl Warren then held it. Yet Iohn de Stotevill paid nine Marks shortly after, in the time of H. 3. for four Knights Fees and an half in Barton, and other places. And Estut de Stute∣ville (son of Iohn) 4 E. 1. is certified to hold three parts of the Town of Barton of Robert de Stotevile, by the service of one Knights Fee. His Grandchild Stute or Stout, son of Sir Nicolas de Stutevill passed it away with Bradmere, 6 E. 3. to Richard Lord Grey of Codnor, as in that place is noted, which Richard by Fine the year following, viz. 7 E. 3. settled it on himself and Ioan his wife, and to the heirs of himself. Iohn Lord Grey of Codnore had Free Warren granted Aug. 13. 21 E. 3. in all his Demesne Lands in Barton upon Trent. This Mannor continued with that Noble Family (whereof I shall place the Descent in Boueton) till after the death of Henry last Lord Grey of Codnor, who by his Will made 18 H. 7. appointed his Feoffees Thomas Leeke of Kirketon, by Screveton, Esq and Roger Iohnson to convey it to Henry Grey his natural Son, who about 13 H. 8. married Eliza∣beth his daughter and heir to Richard, the third son of Sir Henry Sacheverell of Morley, in the County of Darby, by whom she had a son and heir called Henry Sacheverell, who gave it to his Cousin Raph Sacheverell, son of William, second son of the said Sir Henry Sacheverell, with whose posterity it still continues.
That Elizabeth married to her second Husband George Bougham, and gave away some Lands which are now the inheritance of Francis Mar∣shall. Else the whole Lordship, saving that of Peverells Fee, which descended with Holme Per∣point to the Right Honourable the Marquess of Dorchester, two or three Farms being bought in by his Father and Great Uncle, remains the inhe∣ritance of William Sacheverell, Esquire, Lord al∣so of Morley, in the County of Darby, where∣of he is now one of the Knights of the Shire, who hath exceedingly enlarged and new builded this Seat.
That of William Peverells Fee in this place is called Gerbodthorp, from Gerbod de Eschand, to whom H. 2. gave Clifton and Langar, and other of William Peverells Lands: It was account∣ed twenty Bovats, 8 E. 3. after the death of Ro∣bert de Perpoint, who held it of Sir Gervase de Clifton by the service of a Clove; and it was then to descend to Henry, son of Henry, son of Ro∣bert de Perpoint.
The Court Leet at Normanton upon Sore, heretofore the Prior of Durhams, hath some suiters here.
Nicolas, son of Hugh de Wermundesworth, and Raph, and Robert, the son of Robert Constentin had interest here about the time of E. 1. Geoffrey de Constentin, 12 H. 2. is certified by Hubert Fitz-Raph to hold two Knights Fees and an half of him, and Robert de Barton half of one.
The Priory of Newsted had Lands here de∣mised to Iohn Rotheram at 24s. per annum, and were in the tenure of Simon Callis, when Queen Elizabeth, Iuly 2. 41 Eliz. granted the whole Tenement to Thomas Estechurch, and Henry Best, and their heirs.
Queen Elizabeth, 8 Apr. in the second year of her Reign, granted ••o Iohn Doddington, and Iohn Iackson Lands in ••••••ford and Barton, late belonging to the Co••ledge of Clif••on.
Sir Iohn Stanhope, Gervas Handley of Wil∣ford, and Francis Wallis were Free-holders here, 1612. and I suppose owners of some or all of that Land purchased in by Mr. Sacheverell, before-named.
About the year 1266. a great Suit was ended between Roger, Prior of Lenton, and Mr. Bar∣tholomew called Tortus, son of the Noble Knight Adam Wlf, Canon of Anaguin, Rector of the Church of St. George at Barton, upon the Prio∣ries paying three hundred Marks, wanting twelve, and taking his Parsonage to Farm five years, for thirty two Marks per annum, of good, new, and lawful Sterling Money 13s. 4d. to the Mark to be paid in Bermondsey house. The quarrel was, They had presented one Thomas Raley, whom Mr. Barthol. had been nine years in getting out with his Apostolical Letters, and other charges.
After the dissolution of Monasteries, the Town of Nott. petitioned to have had this Advowson, but King H. 8. Feb. 19. 34 H. 8. granted it to the Archbishop of York, and his Successors, who still enjoy it. When the Prior of Lenton was Patron this Rectory was 20l. In the Kings Books now it is 19l. 3s. 9d. value.
