Manor of KINGSHAUGH

In 1565 "Augustine Erle suffered a recovery of the manor of Kingshawe, with the appurtenances; and called William Mering, knight." In an inquisition taken on the death of Sir William Mering (1585), it is stated that he possessed the manors of Mering, Thorney, Carcolston, Kingshaw, Sutton-upon-Trent, and messuages and lands in twenty-three other places. It would appear that the manor was held of the King by lease until it was purchased outright by Augustine Erle, eldest son of the aforesaid owner. The State Papers record that it became the property of Mr. Earl in 1604. The entry in the Warrant Book in the Record Office, is as follows:— "Augustine Earl, in consideration for the fine of £xlvi xiis. iiid., the Manor of Kinsgey Co Notts, value xiiis. iiiid. term his heirs and assigns, date 20 Feb 1604." Thoroton states Kingshawe "is now (1678) the inheritance of Sir Richard Earl, under age, grandchild of Sir Richard Earle of Stragglethorpe," and great grandson of the last named Augustine Earl. In 1697 Sir Richard, fourth Baronet, died unmarried, aged twenty-five, and left his estate to his mother's brother, William Welby of Denton. Kingshaugh was held by the Welby family until 1916, when it was purchased by the present owner, Mr. G. W. Watson, of North Clifton. ^[2]
