A HISTORY OF NOTTINGHAMSHIRE 



KINOULTON. Nine miles south-east from Nottingham. A moat is near 

 the boundary of this parish and that of Hickling, to the south-west of Kemps 

 Spinney. The Fosse Way forms the western boundary of the parish. 



KIRKLINGTON. Three and a half miles north-west from Southwell. 

 The site is occupied by a farmstead. 



LINDHURST. Three miles south-east from Mansfield is a moat to the 

 west of Friar Tuck's Well, where Rainworth Water divides Mansfield and 

 Lindhurst parishes. 



LOWDHAM. Seven and three-quarter miles north-east from Nottingham 

 is an old manor house now a farm where the defences of an earlier fortified 

 house may be traced. 



NORWELL. Six miles north by west from Newark. One moat is to the 

 south-east of the village, near the Hall and St. Lawrence's church ; and 

 another close to the Black Horse Inn. 



NORWELL WOODHOUSE. Seven miles north-north-west from Newark. 

 A moat is to the south of the township. 



OWTHORPE. Eight and a half miles south-east by east from Notting- 

 ham, at Nanney's Plantation. The Fosse Way bounds the parish on the west. 

 ROLLESTON. Two and a half miles south-east from Southwell are a moat 

 and fragments of earthworks. 



SCROOBY. One and three quarter miles south of Bawtry. On the right 



bank of the Ry- 

 ton is the site 

 of an archie- 

 piscopal manor 

 of the prelates 

 of York. 



SlBTHORPE. 



Nearly 7 

 miles south- 

 south-west from 

 Newark. A 

 moat 620 ft. 

 long runs in a 

 line north to 

 south on the 

 east side of the 

 manor house, 

 with a branch 

 at right angles 

 1 60 ft. in length. 

 A number of 

 small dykes are 

 in the neigh- 

 bourhood of the 

 Dovecote south- 

 east of the church. To the south-east of the park two quadrangular areas 

 about 1 20 ft. square are surrounded by a moat, which extends to the north, 

 and appears to have originally surrounded a third and larger area.
