* See "Records of the Borough of Nottingham," I., 371, from which this 

 Will, appears to have held some land in Nottingham Fields lying near Bordel, 

 in A.D. 1301. As Hare^tan, or Horeston is the old name of the site and castle 

 of Horsley, Will, de Horston may have held some office in connection with the 

 castle of Nottingham, since this fortress and that of Horseley were frequently 

 held by the same person under the King. His connection with Horseley is 

 clear from his recovery or purchase of property there.
