Truswell. Tireswelle.

IN Tireswelle, and a place now unknown, cal∣led in the Book of Doomsday Cledreton, be∣fore the Normans invaded this Kingdom, Godric and Vlmar had each a Mannor, besides that which belonged to the Kings Soc of Mansfeild in Cle∣dreton, which answered the Geld for twelve Bo∣vats, the Land being four Car. There twenty two Sochm. and eleven Vill. had nine Car. These Sochmen paid 20^s. to the Dane-geld of Custom. In that which was Earl Alans Fee of Richmond in Cledreton,* 1.1 Godric and Vlmar had seven Bo∣vats, and one third of a Bov. for the Geld. That Land held Earl Alan and Roger de Busli until the making of the great Survey by King William the Conquerour. The Land then was eleven Car. the value 20^s. In Cledreton Soc to Treswell of Roger de Buslies Fee were three Bovats and an half, and two fifths of a Bovat for the Geld. That Land had Roger, and there had seven Villains, having one Car. and an half. There was half a Church, Pasture Wood one qu. and an half long, 1 qu. broad; and Medow one qu. and an half long, one qu. broad: of this Wood and Medow Roger

had the moyety; the value was 10^s. The Land one Car. In Treswell, Godric's Mannor an∣swered the publick Taxation for six Bovats of Land, and a third part, and a fifteenth part of a Bovat. The Land was four Car. There Roger the Man of Roger de Busli had two Car. and four∣teen Vill. and five Bord. having five Car. Me∣dow four qu. long, one qu. and an half broad. This in King Edward the Confessours time, and then also kept the value of 50^s. That Mannor in Tireswell, which Vlmar had before the Con∣quest, paid then for six Bovats, and one third to the Common charge. The Land being then four Car. Afterwards Robert de Musters the Man of Earl Alan had one Car. eight Vill. five Bord. having four Car. forty Acres of Medow, Pasture Wood four qu. long, one qu. and an half broad. This also retained the old value it had in the time of King Edward the Confessour, viz. 40^s.

The Family of Musters or de Monasteriis the posterity of this Robert had their residence here.

Iohn de Mustiers of Tireswell, Chivaler, 22 E. 3.* 1.2 said that his Ancestor Iohn de Mustiers was seized of 3^s. Rent in Sibthorp (as in that place is already mentioned) in the time of King Richard the first, and from him the right descend∣ed to Robert his son and heir,* 1.3 and from Robert to Iohn his son and heir, but Iohn died without is∣sue, so that William was his brother and heir, who likewise left Robert his brother his heir, which Robert was father of Iohn de Mustiers who then claimed.

By a Fine at York, 1 E. 3.* 1.4 William de Mu∣stiers settled the Mannor of Tireswell, and the Advowson of the moyety of the Church of the said Mannor on himself for life, and after his de∣cease on Iohn, son of Robert de Mustiers, and on Alice his wife, and the heirs of the bodies of the said Iohn and Alice; remainder to the right heirs of Iohn. William de Musters, 3 E. 3.* 1.5 claimed to have emendation of the Assize of Bread and Ale broken in his Mannor of Tyreswell.

In an Assize, 21 E. 1.* 1.6 between Adam de Ey∣vill, Plaintiff, and Robert de Musters, Defendant, for Common of Pasture in sixscore Acres of Wood, with Swine in the time of (Pesson) Paunage in Tireswell, the Jury found that the Ancestors of Thomas de Eyvill, and of the said Robert were Parceners of the said Town in Lands, Woods, and Commons, &c. and that the said Robert disseized the said Adam of the said Com∣mons, and required a special verdict.

It seems the fore-named Sir Iohn de Musters had a son and heir called Henry de Musters, Knight;* 1.7 whose first wife was Alice, but by his second who 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Brian Thornton, he had an only daughter and heir named Eliza∣beth, who was first married to Alexander de

This part of Treswell, which belonged to the Family of Musters, was called the West Hold, and was of Richmond Fee, as the other which was of Tikhill Fee was called the East Hold, being that Mannor which Roger the Man of Roger de Busli had, which, as the rest of his Lands did, came to William de Lovetot Lord of Wirkesop in the time of H. 1. who gave his part of the Church here to the Priory he there Founded, as in that place will be shown. Reginald Tailbois, 6 Ioh. put in the place of Gerard de Furnivall,* 1.9 and Ma∣tildis his wife (daughter and heir of William de Lovetot, Grandson of the former) offered him∣self against Hugh Ridell, then under age, in a plea of right concerning the fourth part of a Knights Fee, with the Appurtenances in Tireswell, and Hugh prosequuted not, &c. Galfr. Rydell, 3 E. 3.* 1.10 claimed the Mannor of Tireswell, as Cousin and heir of Alice de Loveton, who was seised in the time of H. 3. as son of Hugh, son of Hugh, son of the said Alice de Lovetot, great Grandmother of the said Galfr.

Another was levied at York, 16 E. 2.* 1.12 between Raph de Crophill, and Matilda his wife, Quer. and Alan de Hothum, Clerk, Deforc. of the Man∣nor of Tyreswell, thereby settled on the said Raph and Maud for life; remainder to Raph his son, and the heirs of his body; remainder to Iohn, another son,* 1.13 and the heirs of his; remainder to Nicolas, brother of the said Iohn, and his heirs for ever.

Robert, son of Avicia, daughter of Thomas de Eyvill, Knight, by his Deed dated at Nott. on Saturday the morrow after St. Ceadde the Bishop, 4 E. 3. remised and released to Roger de Crophull, and Raph de Crophull, father of the said Roger, and the heirs of Raph, all his right in the Mannor of Tireswell, with all the Appurtenances, with gene∣ral warranty; for which release and warranty Tho∣mas de Furnivall, senior, in acquittance of the said Roger and Raph, paid the said Robert and Avicia his said mother 106^l. 13^s. 4^d.

This Mannor held of the Honour of Tikhill, was Iohn Merburyes, and Agnes his wifes,* 1.14 as in Arnall is seen. Walter Devereux, son of Wal∣ter, son of the said Agnes, married Elizabeth daughter and next heir of Iohn Merbury.

Sir Iohn Hercy had both the Parts of Mannors,* 1.18 and gave the West Hold to Iohn Littlebury, and the East Hold to Edward Bussy. Both the Man∣nors came to the hands of Peter Roos, Esquire, and by his heir Gilbert Roos the greatest part was sold to Peter Broughton, Esquire, and so were the inheritance of Thomas Broughton his Nephew.

In 1612. Truswell had many owners, viz. George Leggatt, William Porter, Thomas How∣ton, Nicolas Steedman, senior, Augustine Steed∣man, Palamedes Gilby, Gregory Vickers,* 1.19 one Mess. one Cottage, one Garden, one Orchard, sixty eight Acres of Land, Iohn Hoggard, Tho∣mas Sibthorp, Iohn Chambers, Cott.
