Screveton. And Kirketon.

BEsides that which was of the Soc of Orston, which in the Confessours time was rated to the Dane-geld at one Carucat; The Land then esteemed three Carucats, where in the Con∣querours time were three Sochm. two Vill. and one Bord. having one Carucat and an half, and eight Acres of Medow.

There was a Mannor in Screvinton, of the Fee of Odo Bishop of Bayon, which Toti had, before the Normans came, and paid to the Geld for it as twelve Bovats. The Land was three Car. then,* 1.1 but afterwards Hugh, the Nephew of Herbert, the Man or Tenent of the Bishop, had there five Sochm. and four Villains, and one Bordar, having three Carucats or Plows, and six Oxen, and twelve Acres of Medow. This was 25s. value in the time of King Edward the Confessour; and when the Book of Doomsday was made, 32s.

There was in Escrevintun, of the Fee of Roger de Busle also a Mannor, which before the Con∣quest was Odincars, then also Lord of Flintham and Bridgeford, which was rated to the payment of the publick Tax at five Bovats. The Land of it was one Car. There, when the great Survey was made by the Conquerour, one Sochm. with one Bordar, had one Car. This in the Con∣fessours time was 5s. in the Conquerours 8s. value.

The Tythes of these three Fees have ever been and are yet distinct. Those of Orston Soc are the third part, and belong to the Church of Lin∣colne, as part of the Rectory of Orston, and are now held by me of the Dean and Chapter. The third part, of the two remaining parts, be∣longed to the Priory of Wirksop, with Cole∣ston, which was Roger de Buslies Fee, and are now the inheritance of Peniston Whalley, Esquire; the rest remain to the Church. And the custom of dividing the Tythes is at eighteen; the Rector of Screveton hath eight; I, for the Church of Lincolne have six; and Mr. Whalley four.

There was a final agreement made at Nott. in the Kings Court,* 1.2 the third day after the feast of St. Gregory, next after Henry, King of En∣gland, son of Maud the Empress, sent his daugh∣ter into Sicily, before William Fitz Raph, and William Basset, and Michael Belet the Kings Justices, between Hugh, son of Alan, and be∣tween Ingelram, son of Geoffrey de Screveton, concerning the Advows. of the Church of Screve∣ton, whereof Plea was moved between them, viz. that the said Hugh remised to the said Engelram, the moyety of the Advowson of the said Church, to be held to him and his heirs, in Fee of the said Hugh and his heirs, with the rest of the Fee which he held of him the said Hugh.

In King Iohn's time William de St. Paulo, claimed against Yngeram de Screveton the Ad∣vowson of the Church of Kirketon;* 1.3 and upon that the Abbat of Croxton came and pleaded, that Yngeram had by his Charter given him the moye∣ty, and brought the Chirograph made in the Kings Court, between Hugh, son of Alan (which Hugh was) Father of the wife of William St. Paul, in whose name the said William made his demand or claim, which was that before recited.

There was a Fine, 12 Ioh. levyed at Dorche∣ster between William de Hawkesworth,* 1.4 Compl. and Richard Abbat of Wellebek, and Ingelram de Screveton, Deforcients, of the Advowson of the Church of Screveton, whereby one moyety was settled on William, and his heirs begotten on Cecilia his wife, and the other moyety on the Abbat and his Successours, which the said Inge∣ram gave him, having recovered it in the Court of King Henry the second, against Hugh, son of Alan (which Hugh was) Grandfather of the said Cecilia, which Writing he produced, and it was also the same before rehearsed.

William de St. Paul confirmed to his Clark Mr. Stephen de Radeclive 20s. per annum,* 1.5 to be received of Gilbert the Clark. who possessed the Church of Kirketon, as well by his gift, as also of the gift of the Abbat of Wellebek, as a Pen∣sion out of that Church, during his life, for the good of Peace, which was confirmed to the said S. (there written Simon), in the vacancy of the See of York, by W. Arch-deacon of Nott. and the Dean of York.

There was a Fine levyed, 26 H. 3. between Iohn de Pabham,* 1.6 Quer. and the Abbat of Wellebek, Deforcient, concerning the Advow∣son of this Church of Kirketon, whereby it was agreed they should present by turns; and so it was by another, 10 E. 1. between Thomas Ab∣bat of Wellebek, and Robert Bardolf, named in

Page 128

Scarrington;* 1.7 which Robert, it seems, bought a Bovat of Land, and 20s. Rent in Kirketon, and the Advowson of William Hottot.

Gaufr. de Stokes held sixteen Bovats of Land here of Robert Hotot,* 1.8 and 51 H. 3. was dead; and his heir Iohn, son of his Cousin Paul, did the like of Ioan Hottot, and was also dead 21 E. 1.

Iordan de Sutton held here of the heirs of Hugh de Caplla,* 1.9 viz. in Kirketon and Screveton 60s. and 6d. yearly Rent. Iohn his son and heir was found, 16 E. 1. to be seventeen years of age.

But the main of the Lordship was held by Ro∣ger Bozun, in the time of Henry the third, sometimes written Boum, mentioned in Orston; he was in the time of Edward the first, succeeded by Iohn Bozon,* 1.10 who was son of Raph, to whom William le Hotoft, 33 E. 1. passed some of his interest here; he was a Knight; and the Lady Gunnora Bozon his widow,* 1.11 kept a Court here, 9 E. 3.

* 1.12Sir Hugh Hose, Knight, 35 E. 3. settled the Mannor of Screton, and Lands which were Henry Bozoms, on Margaret, who had been wife of Sir Iohn Bozom, Knight; remainder to Sir Iohn, son of Iohn Bozom; remainder to Hugh Bozom, who proved a Clergy-man, and Parson of Fullbeck in Lincolneshire.

The next successor of this last Sir Iohn Bozom that I meet with, was Thomas Bosom of Syre∣ston, who was concerned in this Mannor, and Orston, and I think dyed about 3 H. 6. and him, I suppose, father of Henry Boson,* 1.13 named in Lanum, and he of Thomas Bosom, who mar∣ried Anne, one of the four sisters and co-heirs of Sir Gerard Vlveflett, great Grand-child and heir of Lora (or Loretta) daughter and heir of Ge∣rard de Furnivalle, son of Gerard de Furnival, who married Christian Leydet, and was son of Matilda de Lovetot: by her Thomas Bosom had Henry Bozom of Syreston, father of Sir Ri∣chard Bozom of Barrowby; which Henry and Richard, 5 H. 8. had the Wardship of Robert, son and heir of Iohn Thoroton then dead,* 1.14 who in his life time held some Lands in Screveton, which came to him by descent from Oliver de Lovetot, as in Coleston may be seen; but his son before named, who came to age that same year, after the death of Alice his mother, who married

one I. Brocock, before that Kings Reign was past, sold a Mess. and Cottage, and four Bov. of Land to Richard Arnall of Stoke, which since that time were parcelled, and some part is purchased by Mr. Whalley, and part by Iohn Parker the Wheelwright, whose new house is the Cottage.

Sir Richard Bozom died before or about the 16 H. 8. and left five daughters and heirs,* 1.15 by his wife Dorothy, the daughter and heir of Iames Devn of Sireston, who to her second husband married William Vernon, and left him a daughter and heir, who was married to Henry Savile of Lupsett in Yorkshire, the Kings Receiver general for that County, Progenitor of the present Lord Halifax.

One of the co-heirs of Sir Richard Bozom was Elizabeth, the wife of Richard Paynell of Booth∣by in Lincolneshire; another was Margaret, wife of Sir Richard Clapton, who had a daughter married to Sir William Cordell, Knight, Master of the Rolls. Another was Alice, wife of George Poole; another Mary, wife of Iohn Worsley; and another daughter and co-heir was Amy or

Agnes, first married to Henry Babington, after∣wards to Francis More; which Francis More, or his son of that name,* 1.16 sold this Mannor of Ri∣chard Whalley, Esquire, Grandfather o Peniston Whalley, the present owner, which thereby made him the intire possessor (except two or three small Free-holders) of the whole Township, a good part whereof he inclosed: as his Grand∣child and heir, the said Peniston, did another part by the Fosse way side; since when, viz. 1669. he sold most of it to my Brother Thomas Thoroton, and my Brother-in-law Iohn Story of Kneveton.

The other Mannor called Kirkton Hall, is and hath been the Seat of the Whalleys, and their Progenitors the Leeks, and the Kirktons, who had their name from the place scituate close by the Church; and the house it self is in the very division of the Lordships of Coleston and Screveton; in each of which, part of the Demesnes lay. In some Evidences it is called Kirketon juxta Ker∣colston, but in more juxta Screveton.

Roger de Kirketon, to whom Raph,* 1.17 son of Yn∣geram de Screveton, passed some parcells here, is the first that I have met with. Roger had a son called Hugh; but the next successour that I can discover was Iohn, son of Robert de Kirketon, who lived in the latter end of the Reign of Henry the third; and in the time of Edward the first. In Edward the seconds time Robert, son of Iohn

de Kirketon,* 1.18 was owner of this place; and in Edward the thirds, was succeeded by Thomas de Kirketon, Esquire, to whom, together with Margaret his wife, 17 E. 3. Thomas de New∣march the younger did convey Lands, which sometime were Henry Bozoms. This Thomas de Kirketon is said to have had a daughter and heir married to Iohn de Stockton, whom I find resi∣dent here, 45 E. 3. and that he had interest in Lands in Claton (now Clauffon) and Kirke∣by Belers, in the County of Leicester, in which latter place I find Roger Beler did make some ex∣change, with Adam de Stocton, about the time of Edward the first, or sooner. Stoctons daughter and heir is supposed to be Avicia, wife of Wil∣liam de Leek, who, 8 R. 2. enfeoffed Sir Iohn de Leek,* 1.19 Knight, Richard de Outhorpe, Richard de Stcton, and Hugh Bozom Chaplain, in their Lands in Screveton, Kercolston, Kirkeby Be∣lers, &c.

William de Leek of Kirketon, 6 H. 5. (or Skreveton) passed Lands in Kercolston,* 1.20 Bing∣ham, Aslaton, and Flawbergh, to Simon de Leek, Raph his own son, and Iohan his own wife, to Raph his brother, and Iohn his said brothers son, and to Nicolas his brother, and Thomas son of that Nicolas: his Seal to it hath nine Annu∣letts upon a Saltier engrailed within a Bordure.

Sir William Babington, Knight, Simon Leek Norman Babington,* 1.21 Thomas Nevill, Esquire, William and Robert, sons of Sir William Babing∣ton, 9 H. 6. made Henry Peyto, and Iohn Cha∣worth, their Atturneys to receive seisin, of Raph Leek, Esquire, of his Lands in Kirketon, Scre∣veton, Kercolston, Asacon, Kneveton, Bing∣ham, Newark, Sibthorp, Eyleston, and Flawbergh in this County; in the City of Lin∣colne; in Claxton and Kirkeby in Leiceter∣shire; and in the City of Coventre in War∣wickshire.

The Mannor of Kirketon, and Lands in Kirke∣ton,* 1.22 Screton, Carcolston, and Aslacton, 17 H. 6. were settled on Raph Leek, and Agnes his wife (therefore supposed to be a Babington) and the heirs of their bodies; remainder to William, son of Sir William Babington.

* 1.23Thomas Leek of Kirketon, Esquire, and Iane his wife, 18 E. 4. covenanted to marry Elizabeth their daughter and heir, to Richard Whalley o Darlston in the County of Stafford, Esquire.

This Richard Whalley made his Will, 1 R. 3. and by it gave order to his Feoffees,* 1.24 Sir Gervas Clif∣ton, Sir Iohn Babington, Knights, Thomas Leek, Squire, Richard Whalley, Priest, and George Whalley, Gentleman, to dispose the Mannor of Darlaston to Elizabeth his wife, for her natu∣ral life; and after to Ioane his daughter; and his Lands in Lancashire, to the sons of his Uncle Gilbert Whalley, if he should die without issue Male himself: which he did not, for 9 H. 7. Sir Henry Willoughby passed the Wardship of Thomas Whalley his son,* 1.25 to Thomas Leek, before named. This Thomas Whalley married Elizabeth, the daughter of Iohn Strelley of Woodborough,* 1.26 and had a son called Richard Whalley, who had to his first wife Lora, daughter of Thomas Brook∣man; to his second, Vrsula; and to his third, Barbara, who survived him, and married ..... Burnell, for whom she made a fair Tomb at Sib∣thorp; as she did here at Screton for her hus∣band Whalley: which shows he had twenty five Children by his three Wives; which great num∣ber, many of them being very well Matched; as one to Sir Iohn Zouch of Codnor, another to .... Bellingeham, another to Iohn Nevill of Grove, and the like, together with his impri∣sonment in the Tower, upon the account of the Duke of Somersett, Lord Protector of Edward the sixth, whose servant he was, and some other mishaps, might very well be thought to lessen that great advancement he had otherwise necessarily made of his Family; being by his relation to, and interest with, that Duke, easily let in to pur∣chase Abby Lands; of which, notwithstanding, he had a convenient share, in this and other Counties. To his eldest son Thomas Whalley,* 1.27 and his son William, the eldest by his second wife, did Sir Iohn Hercy of Grove, Uncle of Iohn Nevill, before named, marry also his two Nieces Elizabeth and Barbara, the daughters and heirs of Henry Hatfeild of Willughby, Esquire, by Alice, one of the eight sisters and heirs of the said Sir Iohn; but she was afterwards married to.... Markham, by whom having a son, none of Hercyes inheritance came to this Family. This Richard Whalley died the 23d. of November, in the year 1583. aged 84. years, having buried his said son Thomas the year before, who less se∣veral sons and daughters. Richard his eldest, suc∣ceeded his Grandfather here, and was a person of great parts and action: he was Knight of the Shire, and one of the most splendid Sheriffs of this County; but being much incumbred and engaged in Suits, the latter part of his time was not pro∣sperous. He had also three Wives: his first was Anne, daughter of George Horsey of Digswell; his second, by whom he only left issue, was Frances, daughter of Sir Henry Crumwell of Finching∣brook by Huntington; and his third was Iane, daughter of .... Stirap; afterwards married to Edward Coleby. He had two brothers Doctors in Divinity, Walter of Pembroke Hall, and Thomas of Trinity Colledge in Cambridge▪ and Iohn Whalley another brother died a Batchelor at Screton; his sister Elianor was married to Thomas Draper of Flintham, whose son Ri∣chard Draper married Mary, the widow of Tho∣mas Whalley his eldest son, and by that means succeeded him here at Screveton, during the mi∣nority of Peniston Whalley his Grandchild, the present owner, who married Margaret, the daughter and heir of George Ireland, Esquire, eldest son of Sir Thomas Ireland of Beausey near Warington, the ancient Seat of the Butlers in Lancashire, and by her hath two daughters and heirs, Elizabeth and Margaret.

Edward Whally the Major General, and Henry the Advocate, were sons of this last Richard, and advanced in the War by Oliver Crumwell their Kinsman. Elizabeth, the sister of Peniston Whalley, is wife of William Ayloff, Esquire▪ of Baingbourne, but hath no Children.

The Church of Screveton was 8l. and the Ab∣bat of Welbeck, and Mr. Bozome Patrons.* 1.28 'Tis now 6l. 19s. 2d. in the Kings Books, and Peni∣ston Whally, Esquire, Patron.

A Prospect of A Tombe on the South wall of the Chancell at Screaton

In Screveton Chancell. The Inscriptions of the Tomb.

Behold his Wives were nomber three: Two of them died in right good Fame; The third this Tomb Erected she, For him who well deserv'd the same, Both for his life and Godly end, Which all that knoes must needs commend: And they that knows not, yet may see, A worthy Whallaye loe was he. Made Anno Domini 1584. Since time brings all things to an end, Let us our selves applye, And learn by this our faithfull frend, That here in Tombe doth lye, To fear the Lord, and eke beholde The fairest is but dust and Mold: For as we are, so once was he; And as he ys, so must we be.
