[Throsby] Newton

IS a hamlet to Shelford, except one house and about 50 acres of land in the occupation of Mr. Walker, which belongs to Bingham parish. Newton lordship contains about 600 acres of land, partly old, and partly new inclosure. About 300 acres, now the property of Mr. Deverill, a very respectable farmer and grazier at this place, were sold in 1750, by a Mr. Clark, to the Rev. Richard Kirkby, rector of Gedling, and then curate of Bingham, who inclosed it about the year 1760. Mr. Kirkby dying about the year 1782, having survived a numerous issue, except his eldst daughter, it descended to her; and she sold it in 1788, to Mr. Deverill.

Lord of the Manor, the Earl of Chesterfield, who is also a land-owner. Mr. Samuel Pogson of this place, and Mr. Neal, of Flintham, own portions.

Mr. Kirkby, some years before he died, planted many willow-trees near the source of the spring, which crosses the Foss-way into the neighbouring fields; they now form a very pleasing appearance.
