Estate Papers of the Eyre family of Grove, Nottinghamshire, 1500-1849
Reference: GB 0159 Ey
Title: Estate Papers of the Eyre family of Grove, Nottinghamshire, 1500-1849
Dates of creation: 1500-1879
Held at: The University of Nottingham Dept. of Manuscripts and Special Collections, Hallward
Library
Extent: 17 boxes
Abstract: Deeds, court rolls, correspondence, wills, agreements, naval log books.
Scope and Content
The collection consists of material relating to the estates of the Johnson, Wasteney and Eyre
families from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries. The vast majority are title deeds, although
there are two sixteenth-century court rolls of Headon Manor and some late eighteenth-century
papers relating to disputes about manorial rights. A small number of maps and plans from the
eighteenth century are present. There are also two seventeenth- and eighteenth-century manorial
court books from Rampton and Treswell. The few eighteenth-century personal papers concern
Sir Hardolph Wasteney. The presence of a number of nineteenth-century Royal Navy log books
can be attributed to the naval interests and careers of certain members of the Vernon family
Arrangement
The documents have been arranged in territorial groups as held by the families from whom the
Eyres derived their title.

Considering this web site is attached to one of our foremost British libraries I was very disappointed by the pointless and infuriating animations and graphics. Rather effort would have been more beneficial providing improved navigation facilites.
