suzard Researcher	the village/town/city /country game !!! replied on: 10/18/2007 11:41:01 AM This is stretching the memory bank, Robert -had forgotten I knew about it. I'm not sure if it is part of mapperley or West hallam. It is situated between Park hall Farm mapperley and West hallam Crossroads, Simon lane. There is "Northend Cottage" which is not what we would call a cottage, but a very large house. Then there is Northend School -closed many years ago. The school was a private boarding school, I am not sure if it was a "mixed" school, but know for certain Girls boarded there ( a well known film stars daughter is reputed to have attended many years ago. The last headmistress/owner of the school was Jessica(sorry -do not remember surname)- I used to chat to her over twenty years ago and she was well into her 80's then -I think her family owned the school and she carried it on after her parents death. Will have to find more information, as this area seems to have been forgotten. I will post any other information in the Mapperley section So there we are Northend

WesleyLees	the village/town/city /country game !!! replied on: 9/3/2007 4:03:57 PM Lakenheath Which is an AirForce base near Thetford in Essex. I wanted a town than ended in H so I could have: "Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump", which is in Canada. What a great name for a town. In Canada, a buffalo jump was a cliff with a tapered fence to funnel stampeding animals over the edge to kill them. It was used by the plains indians before firearms. Wesley
Peter Chamberlain Researcher	the village/town/city /country game !!! replied on: 8/24/2007 8:46:54 PM OVERSEAL, called also Little and Spital Seile, was one of the lordships given, in the reign of Henry III, by William de Meisham, in marriage with his daughter, to Wm. de Appleby, together with a park, a wood, and a mill, called Woodlandes. The services of this and another manor, the same Wm. de Meisham, about 1250, gave to Merevale Abbey, Warwickshire. A third manor was afterwards held by Lucian de Deserto, and a fourth by the Vernons, of Haddon, Derbyshire. But in the early part of the 13th century, all these manors were held under Wm. de Ferrariis, Earl of Derby. In 1205, a curious agreement was made between Lucian of "Scheyl Minor" and the rector, respecting the maintenance of a resident chaplain, on his estate, to celebrate mass in the chapel there, three days a-week. In the 16th century, Sir Wm. Gresley, of Drakelowe, bought this manor, and in the following century, it passed to the Morewoods, of Netherseal."
