lOTH October, 34 Hen. III., A.D. 1250. 



With Notes by Rev. Charles Kerry. 



HROUGH the kindness of John P. Jackson, Esq., of 

 Stubben Edge, the Editor has been able to place 

 before the readers of this Journal an original Survey 

 of the Honour of Peverel never before published. 

 It is of singular value, because it contains a compact list of 

 tenants at one stated time ; whereas the "Testa de Nevil," which 

 apparently does the same thing, is certainly composed of surveys 

 and memoranda of different periods, as Mr. Pym Yeatman (to 

 whose most valuable and laborious collections for this county I 

 am so deeply indebted) most clearly shows in his elaborate 

 introduction to his extracts from that record. It seems that 

 the first part of the "Testa de Nevil," comprising the Derby- 

 shire and Nottinghamshire portion, was compiled in 11 98 ; but the 

 second notice of the Honour of Peverel is stated to have been 

 rendered into the Treasury in 1237 ; and this, again, has reference 

 to tenants of a later period still. 



Note. — The text, in large type, is a translation of the Latin 

 original : the intervening nutes, in smaller type, are by the Editor. 



By way of preface to this document, the Editor has thought it 

 desirable to give a short pedigree of the Peverels, with a list of the 

 manors belonging to this honour as given in the Domesday 

 Survey.
