2 2 John Harrison s Survey of Worksop in 1636 carried out for the14 th Earl of Arundel Description of the Manors of Worksop and the Priory Before I being to express the particulars of these manors, it will not be amiss to relate something concerning the royalties, profits and commodities belonging to the same. And first for the manor or Worksop (which in times past did belong to the right honourable family of the Shrewsbury s) where is kept a Court Baron, once every 3 weeks if occasion serves and a Court Leet twice every year. Within this manor or Lordship is a very spacious park, being seven miles and a half and half a quarter in compass and contains by measure according to the statute 2302 acres, 2 roods and 314/5 About in the middle there stands a very stately house called the manor, built of freestone, being very pleasantly situated upon a hill, with corresponding gardens to the same. About half a mile from the said mansion is another house fairly built of stone and well contrived called the new lodge, besides the old lodge where the keeper dwells. This park is well adorned with timber and not meanly furnished with fallow deer, the number of them at present is about eight hundred. There is a little river running through this park, very profitable, not only in regard to trout and other fish therein contained; but especially in regard of the water mill, well built of stone, standing upon the said river, near the park and the town of Worksop: in which said town there is a market kept every Wednesday and one fair yearly and that is upon the 20 th day of March. There is also within these manors very good meadow ground with pastures and arable lands, and some heath fit for no other purpose but for the maintaining of sheep. Near to this town of Worksop has been a castle in times past, but there is nothing remaining there, but only a hill where the castle stood. I cannot here omit that thing wherein this town of Worksop excels all others within this realm and most noted for: I mean the store of liquorice that grows there and that of the best. If you look into the bowels of the earth you shall find very good quarrys of stone for building, and limestone for the making of lime not only for necessary uses in building, but especially for the manuring of grounds. There has been in times past adjoining Worksop church, a Priory with a manor there belonging, but the court is discontinued, and now for the most part they are brought to do service at the court belonging to Worksop manor. There is within this manor a great oak, very remarkable, called Shireoak, in regard that the branches extend themselves into three shires, viz,

3 3 Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Yorkshire. There are divers lands lying in several places remote from these manors, that are also under the charge of the bailiff of Worksop, whereof there is one place above the rest more worthy of being noted, that is a great standing water called White Water, lying in Styrrup in the parish of Blyth, about four or five miles from the aforesaid manors, which will afford a great store and variety of fish and fowl being no less pleasurable than profitable. Servants Wages Mr John Flower, bailiff, his wages per annum 16 Also four loads of hay and the keeping of 2 horses Also the windfall wood in the forest William Canning, horsekeeper, his wages per annum 20 Also the herbage of all the yards about the manor house Also as much wood as he will burn being made and brought to him without any charge William Darcey, gardener, his wages per annum 10 Also all the profits of the gardens except that which is for my Lord s use when he is at Worksop.

4 4 Uncertain profits omitted, as the toll of the fair, for ling, wind fallen wood and other offal wood, mast in the park and other woods, heriots, strays, perquisites of court, felons goods and the like, which are every year more or less and therefore I have omitted them. Uncertain disbursement omitted is dressing of meadows, mowing of grass and making hay, pailing, railings, hedging and ditching, browsing for deer, smith work, repairs, woodcutting for the manor house and for other uses, court charges and other expenses which are every year more or less and therefore I have omitted them.
