Ancient people have told Leonard Wheatcroft, my father, 

 that in this said parish of Ashover there are several parcels 

 of land left for the use of the poor inhabitants thereof. 



First, there was some parcel of land given, but I am not 

 certain where it lieth, though I have heard ancient people 

 say it was part of one Cocker-forme, lying near Ashover 

 Towne, to the value of five marks a year (jCs 6s. 8d.), 

 which was to be given to the poore and schollars in loaf 

 bread every Holy. Thursday. My father hath told me that 

 he was a partaker of that dole when he was a schollar in 

 the years 1630, 1631, and 1632, etc., and further, as he 

 hath heard aged people, and as it was writ upon his grave- 

 stone in brass that that dole was left by one Robert Eyre 



[Should be Philip. — Ed.] in the year . His monument 



is yet to be seen in the chancel, with his picture, all in 

 brass. 



Others say it was left by one Sir Samuel Tryumpe : and 

 this Sir Samuel giving away the Parsonage, presentation, and 

 all to Mr. Immanuel Bourne, as a dowry with a kinswoman 

 of his wife's, whose name was Jemima Beckingham, daughter 

 to Sir Thom. Beckingham, Kt., it is judged that he gave 

 that also as part of her dowry, for that Immanuel Bourne 

 did give that dole many years till there were wars in England 

 in the reign of Chas. I., about the yeare 1641. 



There is also another parcel of land, left by one Thomas 

 Hancock, of Nordidge (North Edge) to the poor, in the year 

 1650, of ten shillings a year in money. 



There is another parcel of land, about fifteen shillings a 

 year, left by one John Bunting, of Alton, called by the 

 name of Babington Pingle, in the year 1660, one-half of
