Extract
from John Nichols, The History and Antiquities of the County of Leicester, 1795
In
antient deeds Botesford, Bottelesford, Boclesford, Bokillisforde, &c.)
and in modern pronunciation Botsworth, is situated on the river Devon,
in the vale of Belvoir, and ajoins to the two counties of Nottingham and Lincoln. It has Belvoir castle to the South ; Allington in Lincolnshire, to the East ; Staunton in Nottinghamshire, North ; and Elton in
Nottinghamshire, West. The turnpike-road from Grantham to Nottingham leads through it. From the former it is 7 miles ; from the latter 18 ;
and from Melton Mowbray, the nearest market-town in the county of Leicester, 14 miles.
In the ecclesiastical division of the county, Bottesford, with its two hamlets
of Easthorp and Normanton, is within the deanry of Framland.
This lordship (with 14 others in Leicestershire) was given by the Conqueror to
Robert de Todenei, a noble Norman, who accompanied him into England as his
standard-bearer ; by whom it was held at the time of the general survey in
Domesday-book, where this township is described as consisting either of two
manors, or as one manor divided into two distinct portions.
The first of these contained nine ploughlands ; and, in the time of king Edward
the Confessor, was valued at twelve pounds a year, and contained twenty-five
ploughs. It was worth fifteen pounds at the time of the survey when five
ploughs and six bondsmen were retained in the lord's demesne ; fifteen ploughs
were occupied by twelve villans, sixty socmen, and five bordars ; the priest
had an entire plough ; and there were four mills of forty shillings value1
To the lordship of Bottesford were
also attached four ploughlands in Redmile2,
with three ploughlands and two oxgangs in Knipton3.
The other manor, or portion of a manor (which consisted of Eastthorp and
Normanton), had been in the possession of Leuric, a free tenant, who had
power to remove witherfoever he pleased without alienating his land. Under
Robert de Todenei, Odard, Robert, and Giflebert, held each one
ploughland ; Baldric and Clarebald two each ; Heldwas one
and a half ; and four other foreigners (whence the name Norman - ton)
held three and a half ; being twelve ploughlands in the whole. The land was
equal to the labour of twelve ploughs, nine of which and four bondmen were
retained in the lord's demense ; and seven socemen, with two villans and thirteen
bordars, had two ploughs amongst them ; whilst four others had no land at all
in tillage. The occupier of the twelfth is not described. When these tenants
entered into possession, the yearly value was six pounds ; which they had
improved to sixteen pounds4
Of Robert de Todenei and his family,
successively lords of Bottesford, an ample account has been already given under
the article of Belvoir. William de Albini, usually styled William de
Albini Brito, succeeded ; and had issue William de Albini the
second, whose posterity enjoyed this manor till, by an heir general, it came by
marriage to the noble family of Ros5 ; in
which family, and in that of Manners, it has continued (except a few
years in the struggle of the houses of York and Lancaster) to the present day.
Under the baronial possessors are found several other considerable owners of
property in Bottesford.
In 1122, occurs a lease or grant for a term of years, of a small piece of
arable land, from John de Stodham to Alan de Bekeby6
William de Albini III. About 1232, gave to the priory of Belvoir one sheaf
[garbam] out of every acre of his land at Bottesford ; and five shillings of
rent in town to his hospital at Newstead7.
In 1235, a lease, or grant for a term of years, occurs, from John de Stodham to
Henry de Bokeby, vicar of Bottesford, of a small parcel of arable land8

Extract
from White's Leicester and Rutland Directory 1877
BOTTESFORD, a large and well-built village
and parish, in Framland Hundred, Grantham Union and County Court District, in 1871
had 1315 inhabitants, living in 300 houses, on 5010 acres of land. The rateable
value of the parish is £9285. It is situated on the banks of the small river
Deven, in the Vale of Belvoir, and lies in the north-eastern apex of the
county, 4 miles N. of Belvoir Castle, W. by N. of Grantham, and 16 E. of
Nottingham. having a station on the Granthan, and Nottingham Railway. A railway
is now being constructed through the lordship, and touching the west end of the
village, from Newark to Leicester and Market Harborough. The parish
extends between Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire, and includes Easthorpe hamlet, on the
south-west side of the river, and Normanton hamlet, which reaches three
miles north from Bottesford to Normanton Thorns, and the Three Shire
Bush, at the junction of the three counties. The Duke of Rutland is lord of
the manor and owner of part of the soil, and the rest belongs to Mrs. Norris,
Thomas Vincent, Esq., the trustees of the late Richard Kettleborrow, Esq..
Wiggeston's Hospital, in Leicester; the poor of Dorking, Surrey;
William Ravell, Francis Vincent, Williarn Stafford, and Richard B. Orton, Esqrs. Mrs. M. A. Goodsou, the Executors of the
late Anthony Healey, Esq., and the Rev. Canon Norman. The soil is chiefly a
strong clay, with a portion of sand. The manor, anciently called Bottlesford or
Bocklesford, has been held by the owners of Belvoir since the time of the
Norman Conquest. The CHURCH (St.
Mary) is a large and handsome cruciform structure of fourteenth and fifteenth
century work, and with alterations made after the Reformation, and consists of
a nave, a spacious chancel, having clerestory windows, two aisles, south porch,
and north and south transept, with a square tower at the west end, and
surmounted by a handsome octagonal crocketed spire, rising to the height of 222
feet, of which the tower measures 87 feet. The tower contains a fine peal of
six bells, re-hung in 1869, of which the tenor weighs 27 cwt; and there are in
the steeple the remains of chimes, which used to play every three hours. The
church was thoroughly Restored, new roofed, and re-seated in 1847, when new
windows were inserted and the western arch opened, at a total expenditure of
£2300, raised by rate and subscription. An organ, built by Messrs. Forster
& Anmdrews of Hull, was placed in the church in 1859, at a cost of £240,
and the tower was then repaired and a lightening conductor affixed, at an
outlay of £70, raised by rate and subscription. The tower became so dangerous
in 1864 that it was resolved to underpin the foundations with much harder
stone, and to increase their projection. Eighty new steps were inserted in the
tower in place of others which had broken from the newell and severed from the
wall, sinking each of them nearly two inches. These works were completed at the
cost of about £1900, defrayed by subscription. The only curiosities found
during the repairs were a sanctus bell and some woollen-covered balls. Most of
the seats are free and open at the ends, and the pulpit is of finely carved
oak, dated 1681. The octagonal and rudely sculptured font stands on four heavy
balusters. The chancel is 60 feet long and 27 broad, and underwent considerable
alterations and repairs in the early part of the 16th century, under the
direction of Thomas, the first Earl of Rutland, for the reception of the
coffins and monumental remains of his ancestors, which he removed from Belvoir
Priory after the Dissolution. The first Earl of Rutland was interred in the
vault which he formed under this chancel, in 1543, and it continued to be the
burial-place of the Manners family till the completion of the Mausoleum, at
Belvoir, in 1828-9, when the remains of the late Duchess of Rutland, the four
Dukes, the celebrated Marquis of Granby, and of several other members were
removed to that splendid dormitory, as noticed at page 159. A small figure in
armour, formerly supposed to have been the effigy of Robert de Todenei, the
first Norman lord of Belvoir, who died in 1088, has been shown by Mr. Bloxam to
be of the 13th century. On an alabaster tomb, within the communion rails,
adjoining the south wall, is an effigy of a man in armour, supposed to be Sir
William Ros, who died in 1414. On the north side of the chancel, and within the
communion rails, is another high tomb of alabaster, on which is the recumbent
effigy of an armed warrior, clad in conical basinet, surrounded by an orle. The
effigy is thought by Mr. Bloxam to represent Thomas Lord Ros, who died in 1431.
On a large slab, on the floor of the chancel, is a large and fine brass, 'the
richest, perhaps, in the county of Leicester,' commemorative of Henry de
Codyngton, rector of Bottesford, and prebendary of the Collegiate Church at
Southwell, who died in 1404, and represents him clad in his canonical or
prebendal habit. In the middle of the chancel floor, near the altar rails, is a
beautiful alabaster altar-tomb, upon which are recumbent effigies of the first
Earl of Rutland and his Countess, the former dressed in the appropriate robes
of the Garter, with his head resting on a helmet, and his feet against a
unicorn ; and the latter resting her head on two embroidered pillows. On the
north side of the tomb are figures of their six daughters, and on the south
side those of their five sons and another daughter. At the west end of the tomb
is a statue of a sixth son; and at the east end are figures of two other
daughters. Near this is another alabaster monument, in memory of Henry, the
second Earl of Rutland and his Countess, the former of whom is represented in
that scarce description of armour called a suit-of splints, and from a collar
round his neck a 'George' hangs down almost to his waistband. On his head is
placed a coronet, and beneath it lies the tilting helmet. The countess is
represented in her robes, with her head resting on a scroll. Effigies of their
daughter and two sons kneel upon the tomb, and above it is a canopy on
heavy-wrought pillars. On the south side of the chancel is a large monument
with the figures of Edward, the third Earl of Rutland, and his Countess, he
bareheaded, in his robes, ruff, and armour; and she in ermine robes, high
toupee, ruff, embroidered sleeves, &c.; with their only child and daughter
kneeling at her feet. A long inscription records the Earl's titles and the
various offices of state which he held. Against the north wall is the monument of John,
the fourth Earl, whose effigy is in armour, with a coronet and a ruff, a mat
under his head, and a bull at his feet. Be his side is his lady, in ermine
mantle, with a lion at her feet. At thier head is a lady kneeling; at their
feet the eldest son, bareheaded, in plate armour; and in front of the tomb are
three sons and two daughters, all kneeling. On the same side of the chancel is
the monument of Roger,
the fifth Earl, and his Countess, the former represented in plate armour, with
a peacock at his feet; and the latter with her feet on a porcupine. The last of
this series of monuments is against the south wall of the chancel, and
commemorates Francis, the sixth Earl of Rutland, his two wives, and the two
children, who died by 'wicked practices and sorcery.' (See page 156.) All that
a combination of various coloured marbles, painting, gilding, and sculpture can
effect is here displayed. The Earl rests between his two wives on a marble
sarcophagus, with his head on an embroidered pillow, and his feet resting
against a peacock. At their head is a female kneeling in the attitude of
prayer, and above the entablature of the lower arcade are two black horses, and
a smaller arcade of similar character. The other more modern monuments are of a
wholly different character from any of the preceding. One consists of a
beautiful pedestal, on which stands a colossal figure of statuary marble in
Roman costume, representing George, the seventh Earl of Rutland, who died in
1641. Another is in memory of John, the eighth Earl, and his Countess, who are
both represented in a standing posture, with Roman drapery, an urn between
them, and two cherubs above. Only the remains of two of the funeral
achievements which were formerly suspended from the walls now exist, and these
are not perfect, while not a single banner, banner-roll, or pennon is left. The
door of entrance into the family vault is of cedar, in the Gothic style. The
coffins which remain in the vault are numerous, and are distinguished by
inscriptions on brass plates. In the church were formerly chantries dedicated
to St. Peter, St. Mary, and St. John.
The register dates from 1563. The benefice is a rectory, valued in K.B. at £51
4s. 114d, and now at £1000, in the patronage of the Duke of Rutland, and incumbency of the Rev. Frederic Jno. Norman,
M.A., hon. canon of Peterborough, who in 1848 married Lady Adeliza Gertrude Elizabeth
Manners daughter of the fifth Duke of Rutland. The rector has a handsome
residence, and 750 acres of glebe land, awarded at the enclosure in 1772, in
lieu of tithes. The Rev. Sir John Thoroton, M. A., the rector of Bottesford
from 1782 to 1820, and for twenty-three years the domestic chaplain, the valued
friend, and the faithful companion of the late Duke and Duchess of Rutland, was
knighted by George IV. when Prince Regent, and it is to him that Belvoir Castle owes much of its beauty.
The BAPTISTS have a chapel here, built in
1789; the WESLEYANS one built in 1845; and the PRIMITIVE METHODISTS erected one
in 1820.
A POLICE STATION was built in 1842 and enlarged in 1872. There is an ancient
cross, probably erected by Lord de Roos about the year 1400; and a 'water-mill
on the river Deven. The annual feast is held on the second Sunday after
September 29.
BOTTESFORD CHARITIES.-A SCHOOL was erected on land given to the parish by the
Duke of Rutland in 1855, at a cost of £900, and the whole of the rent of the
school-lands is paid to the master and mistress to enable the children of the
poor to receive their education at a reduced rate of pay. it is endowed with 31
A. 3R. 29P. awarded at the enclosure, April 18, 1772, in lieu of the two
oxgangs of land, and several 'odd lands,' in the Normanton fields, purchased in
May 1730 for £245, of which £100 was left by Abel Ligonier in 1711, and £140 by
Anthony Ravell, in 1726. The land is tithe and land-tax free, but is subject to
a quit-rent of 8s. 2d. yearly, paid to the heirs of Arthur Barnardiston, and is
let at a rent of £36 per annum. THE EARL OF RUTLAND'S HOSPITAL is a stone building, containing 14 bedrooms, with a
pantry to each, one common room, and a kitchen, which are in good repair. A
small orchard is attached to the building, produce of which is divided among
the residents. They also let the herbage at a yearly average rent of £1 10s. By
an inquisition of charitable uses in 1662 it was ascertained that Roger, 5th
Earl of Rutland, by his will, dated 18th May, 1612, directed his brother
Francis and his executor, who succeeded him as 6th Earl, to finish a hospital
in Bottesford (which had been begun by his mother, Elizabeth, countess of the
4th Earl), for six persons, to be chosen out of the servants at Belvoir, and
endowed it with land at Muston. He also provided that whenever 'the said number
of six poor persons should not he supplied out of the servants at Belvoir
Castle, it should be made up out of the poorest and best deserving inhabitants
of Belvoir, or other places, being tenants of and nominated by the owners of
the said Castle and Honor of Belvoir. The charity has been augmented by
successive Earls and Dukes of Rutland, and the number of almsmen from time time
increased.' The estate now consists of 62A. lR. 8P. in Bottesford, let for £82
10s.; 317A. 2R. 36P. in Muston, let for £498 3s.; 3A. 0R. l0P, in Clawson, let for £7; 78A. 1R. 38P. in Abkettleby, let for
£127 ; and 12A. 3R. 25P. in Sproxton, let for £33. All these rents are subject
to the payment of land-tax, and that of Muston also to the payment of tithe. By
a trust-deed dated May 20, 1762, certain trustees were appointed, the heir of
the survivor of whom was Sir William Earle Welby. The trusts declared therein
are as follows : To permit the Rector of Bottesford and the Vicar of Harby, and
their successors, to receive the rents, out which they were to pay l0s. 8d.
monthly to each of the 14 poor men; 6d. at Easter, Whitsuntide, Bottesford
Feast, and Christmas, for fire money; l0d. in December in lieu of capon money;
6d. in February and in August, for salt; l0d. in September, for candles; 30s.
in April, for a suit of clothes; and to provide for each a good cloth gown and
making every other Easter, 20 cwt. of hard coals to be laid in in May, and to
provide bed and bedding, household goods, and all necessary utensils for their
use; and physic and attendance for such as should be sick; to pay 1s. 6d. every
month to a person for making the poor men's fires, and 6s. 8d. at Lady Day and
Michaelmas to a laundress for washing for each poor man; and to keep the
hospital in repair. By an indenture dated September 24, 1846, new trustees were
appointed, viz., Lord John Manners,Lord George Manners, Earl Jermyn, A. R.
Drummond, Esq., Glynne Earle Welby, Esq., and Ge Norman, Esq., on the survivors
of whom the trust now devolves. The terms of the trust are substantially the
same; the amount of the coal laid in is increased, and the matron's pay is now
£20 l6s. The 13 monthly payments to each inmate vary from £1 4s. to £3 4s. The
out-pensioners receive two-thirds of the above sums. Every alternate Easter
each inmate receives a blue cloth gown, on the left sleeve of which is affixed
a silver badge, with a peacock and duke's coronet. There are at present 4
resident and 9 out-patients. The REV. DR. SAMUEL FLEMING, rector of Bottesford
from 11581 to 1620, devised certain lands and tenements (after the death of his
sister, Hester Davenport), to found a HOSPITAL for
widows belonging to the parish of Bottesford. This trust was augmented in 1620
or 1621 by the said Hester Davenport. The two cottages which she left were
originally the property and site of the chantreys of St. Peter and the Virgin
Mary, which were dissolved in the reign of King Henry VIII. The widows were to
he nominated to inhabit the said houses or tenements during their widowhood, a
second marriage causing their forfeiture of all interest in the charity. This
charity was increased by a legacy of £50, left in November 1763, by Mrs. Mary
Griffin, widow of the Rev. Lewis Griffin, late rector of the parish, and by £10
left by Mrs. Clifford. In the year 1753 John Howett charged his lands in Muston
with an annual rent-charge of £1 15s., now paid by the Duke of Rutland. By the
award on the enclosure of Bottesford parish 75A. 3R. 28P. were allotted to the
trustees of the Hospital. In the year 1827 the sum of £200, which had
accumulated from yearly saving and from Mrs. Mary Griffin's legacy, was laid
out in the purchase of £252 15s. 3d. three per cent. Console and in the same
year the number of widows was increased from four to six. The invested capital
amounts in 1874 to £723 15s. 4d., producing an annual income of £21 12s. 1d.,
which was farther augmented in that year by a legacy of £500, less duty,
bequeathed by the late Miss Mary Brown. There are at resent four annuitants,
one being added recently in consideration of the interest accruing from Miss
Brown's legacy, who receive out-pensions of the same amount as the inmates. The
Hospital contains six bedrooms, one sitting-room, and a kitchen, besides
offices, and is kept in good repair. Each annuitant receives £1 5s. every
calendar month. Coals and gas are also provided. By the ancient deed all the
members of the foundation are required to attend the services of the church;
the Weduesday and Friday morning services being most probably the remains of
the services of the dissolved chantreys upon which the present tenements of the
Hospital are founded and built. The present trustees are Sir G. E. W. Gregory,
Bart., Lord Jno. Manners, M.P. the Rev. F. J. Norman, and the Rev. G. S.
Stanley. THOMAS WHITE, rector of this parish, and afterwards Bishop of
Peterborough, or (as he signed himself) Petriburgh, by his will, dated 1690,
gave to the poor Bottesford £240, to be laid out in land, £10 of the rent of
which he willed should be distributed on the 14th of December, by the rector,
in the church porch, in the presence of the churchwardens or overseers, to 20
poor families or persons of 40 years of age, reckoning husband and wife for one
person, who could repeat the Lord's Prayer, Apostles' Creed, and Ten
Commandments. By the award on the enclosure of Bottesford 36A. 1R. 34P. were,
in the hill field and dale field, allotted to this charity, in lieu of land in
the Normanton fields, purchased in July 1703, for £260. The present rent of the
land is £47 .5.s., which is given according to the directions of the will, the
number of the recipients being, however, increased by the present rector.
Thomas White was one of the seven Bishops who were committed to the Tower by
James II. THOMAS BEAN of this parish, by will, dated September 26, 1734,
charged an oxgang of land in Bottesford with the yearly payment of 20s., to be
distributed in sums of 2s. each, on every 26th December, among such poor
persons as the owner of the said land and the rector and churchwardens should
think fit, who now pay the sum of 20s. out of a close called Acrelands. ANN
BEND, by will dated March 19, 1822, gave to the minister, churchwardens, and
overseers of the poor of Bottesford, and their successors, all such principal
moneys as should be due to her at the time of her death on the security of the
tolls of the road leading from Grantham to Nottingham, upon trust, to
distribute the interest arising therefrom in bread among widows and single
women of the age of 60 years and upwards, such distribution to be made in the
first of the year. The share in the turnpike-road was paid off in December
1873, and produced £59 5s., which was invested in the names of the Rev.
Frederic J. Norman, Francis Vincent, and Richard Bartram Orton, in the New
three per cent. Stock, and produced £63 3s. 6d. Stock. The charity is regularly
distributed according to the provisions of the will. ELEANOR Hough, by will dated
4, 1848, left to the rector and church wardens of Bottesford the sum of £100,
which, less legacy duty, was invested and produced £100 Stock, the dividends of
which are distributed in coals by the rector, churchwardens, and overseers of
the poor.
WILLIAM TWINBERY, by will, dated August 25,
1851, bequeathed to the rector, churchwardens, and the overseers of the poor
the sum of £200, to be invested in Stock, the dividends arising therefrom to be
distributed among eight poor widows of good character, and of the age of 50
years or upwards. The number of annuitants is at present six. Nineteen loaves
of bread, each weighing 23/4 lbs., are distributed weekly throughout the year
to nineteen families, widows and aged persons having the preference. The poor
of Dorking, in Surrey, have the rent arising out of 155 acres in this parish;
and there is also a considerable estate belonging to Wigston Hospital,
Leicester. Here are also a Clothing Club, a Medical Club, a Penny Bank, and a
Lending Library, containing nearly 300 volumes.
