A HISTORY OF LEICESTERSHIRE 



The deanery of Gartree also remained little changed between I22O and i84O. 848 Noseley was 

 accounted a separate parish from 1220 to I428, 319 but was omitted in 1535. In 1840 North Kil- 

 worth and Kimcote were considered members of the deanery, 360 but these were transferred in the 

 following year to the deanery of Guthlaxton. 361 



But for the addition of the parish of Mowsley in 1841, the deanery of Gartree remained 

 unaltered until 1864.'" 



The deanery of Goscote was unaltered between 1220 and I535. 863 



The Valor omits the parishes of Prestwold and Siwoldby, each of which is included in the list 

 of I428, 854 after which date Siwoldby drops out. 



In the deanery of Guthlaxton some differences are evident. Swinford was omitted in 1291 ; 

 Aylmersthorpe, included in the lists of 1291 8M and 1428, is not mentioned in 1220, 1535, or at 

 subsequent dates, while Huncote is only heard of in 1220 ; since then it has formed part of the 

 parish of Narborough. In 1841 Kimcote was considered a member of Gartree deanery. 866 



The deanery of Sparkenhoe differed in 1841 from its state in 1220 by the addition of the 

 parish of Peckleton before I29I, 867 when Congerstone was omitted from the list. 



The deanery of Akeley was divided in 1865 into two parts, known as the First or Western, 

 and the Second or Eastern Divisions. 858 Various alterations were made in these in i873, 369 and in 

 1876 36 the deanery was reconstituted, and the newly-formed parishes of Charnwood Forest (Oaks 

 and Copt Oak), Grimston, Loughborough All Saints, Mountsorrel North and South Ends were

 the south and east, the Second Portion, formed of those to the north and east, and the Third 

 or Western Portion. 364 Some alterations were made in i872, 365 in i876, 366 and in 1887, when
