CODNOR CASTLE, AND ITS ANCIKNT OWNERS. 33 



Codnor " De Johanne Souche Milite occasionato ad ostendum 

 quare Manerium de Codnor and alia incountatibus Derbise 

 and Northamptonise in Manibus Reginse seisiri non debet

 Jones' Reports). 



A romantic poem of six cantos, entitled " De Grey — A Tale 

 OF Codnor Castle," dedicated to Sir Walter Scott, was pub- 

 lished about the year 1820 by G. B. Whitaker & Co., Ave Maria 

 Lane, London. It is of considerable merit, but a purely 

 fictitious production.
