Monument record 3980/45 - Munn's Manor

{1} The manor of Rothwell had seen subinfeudation by the early 13th century to create three lesser fees held of the primary manor. It has not been possible to trace the later history of most of these lesser fees, though this may well prove possible by more extensive documentary analysis. It is likely that they relate to several of the subsidiary manors recorded in Rothwell in the post medieval period. In 1739 and 1744 there is reference to a manor in Rothwell formerly the estate of Ralph Munn, with a capital messuage and two yardlands at the upper or west end of Fox's Lane. This is the only one of the lesser manors so far located, for it is probably the small area of property in the street held by the Hill family in 1819.
