no NOTES TO THE PEDIGREE OK THE STRELLEVS. 



Domesday account of it is as follo-vs : — " In Heselebec, and 

 Leitun (Litton), Lewine had iij carucates and a halt of land 

 hidable. Land for as many ploughs. There are now in 

 demesne i plough, and iij villanes with half a plough. There 

 are two acres of meadow and a little underwood. T.R E. xx'. 

 now iv. shill." 



In or about the first year of Henry II., a.d. 1154, Hazlebach, 

 with the rest of tlie Peverel estates was forfeited by its owner for 

 poisoning the Earl of Chester, and it was at that time probably 

 taken into the king's hands. From a statement under Note 'i' 

 to the Pedigree of the Strelleys of Strelley, it would seem 

 that Hazlebach was originally held by the family of Moyz, and 

 made over by them to the Strelleys, and it remained in the senior 

 branch of the family as part of the lordship, or fee of Strelley long 

 afterwards, as will be seen by the subsequent inquisitions. 



Brough Mill, so often referred to in these notes, stands on 

 the stream called Bradwell Brook, about a mile north of that 

 village, near its junction with the ' Noe,' a brook flowing from 

 Peak cavern into the Derwent. 



■' The mill of Brough was in the handsof the said King John, and 

 he gave it to Philip de Strelley for the service of finding a valet 

 for carrying a falcon trained to take herons in the season, and so 

 it was held from king to king by heir to heir, and Hugo Strelley 

 now holds it." (Hundr. Rolls, anno 1275.) ^^ seems somewhat 

 strange in the face of this record that there should be an earlier 

 notice in the Pipe Rolls (9 Richard I., a.d. i 197-8) shewing that 

 Philip de Strelley was in possession of Brough Mill two or three 

 years before John began to reign. (Yeatman's '" Feud. Hist.," i., 

 143.) John may have resumed the holding as chief lord, and then 

 confirmed it to Philip de Strelley under changed conditions of 

 tenure. This will explain the apparent discrepancy. 



(a) Philip de Strelley, upon whom King John bestowed the mill 

 of Brough, was a younger brother of Walter de Strelley of Strelley. 

 He married Avicia, posthumous daughter and heiress of Richard fil7 

 Roger, paying to ihe king ten marks and a palfrey for this privilege 

 anno 3 John. (Veatman"s " Feud. Hist.," i. 152.) Hugh fitz Roge
