The Forest courts where held in Tidewell. The Duchy courts traveled around the vast Duchy lands holding courts at local level.

King Richard is on crusade in the far east, hes leased most of his
land out to fund the exercise and has left his brother John incharge
weakened by the lack of funds.
Henry Ferrer's Duke of Derbyshire seizes his wife's families estates back from the Crown with approval from King John - rather no action taken from King John as Henry was a close allied and friend of king John.. He installs his trusted men from his other estates in Derbyshire and his Chief Domain Tutbury within the Peak Forest. King John is going through troubled times with the Barons. |

Petitioners: Roger de Marchinton and his companions, people of the
vill of Ashbourne
Addressees: King and council
Places mentioned: Assheburn (Ashbourne), [Derbyshire]
Other people mentioned: Thomas [of Lancaster], Earl of Lancaster;
receivers of Thomas, earl of Lancaster; William de Trehampton;
Ralph Basset; Roger Beler
Nature of request: Roger de Marchinton and his companions state
that Thomas earl of Lancaster arrented the vill of Ashbourne to
them for a term of ten years, paying a certain sum at two terms
annually, but, because the years were bad and there was a plague
of cattle, they could not pay this, and were forced to sell their
lands and tenements to do so, and then they begged the earl of
Lancaster to discharge them from their payment and arrears for the
rest of their term. This he did last Martinmas, and instructed his
receivers by letter to that effect. The receivers asked them to
collect toll in Ashbourne until they had appointed other farmers,
and until the defeat of the earl of Lancaster they did this,
paying what they received to certain people appointed by the
receivers. But now William de Trehampton distrains them for debts
paid to the earl of Lancaster before his fall, for their farm -
from which they have been discharged, and other bailiffs appointed
by Ralph Bassett at the king's command - and for fifteen pounds
which these bailiffs received for the king's use. They request
that they be discharged of the farm and receipts, as they were
before by the earl.
Endorsement: Roger Beler, keeper of the [rebels'] lands in those
parts is to be ordered to enquire into the matters contained in
this petition, and to inform the king in chancery; and justice is
to be done. And in the meantime Roger is to surcease from the
demands on them etc.

An Indictmet was
preferred in this year at Derby charging that many leading knights
with their followers " to the number of 1000 persons "
raised the standard of the House of Lancaster at Longford near Derby
and marched to Elvaston where they raided the Hall of Sir Walter
Blount. The Duchy of Lancaster being so territorially strong in North
Derbyshire, Cheshire and Lancashire we find many local names; amongst
them Christopher Bagshaw of Tideswell (p. 152), Thomas Aleyn of Weston
(p. 163), Nicholas Bowden of Bowden, John Dykson of Whithalge,
Wm.Dykson, Hugh Gybson of Chapel, Jno. Orme, Randolph Fletcher of
Combs, Walter Merchyngton
(marchington) of le Chapell, all yeomen and Robert Dyks one
of Chapel, Clerk. There is no endorsement on this indictment that a
" true bill" was found so it is not known what was the
outcome of this episode in the wars of The Roses which tempted so many
Chapel men to go so far from home. 4 Oct 1458. Hen VI Lease for 19 years from Joesa (Joyce) Bradshaw widow of William Bradshaw her son to William Redfern and Emmot his wife of land called Turnecroft.

This William sold two fields to Mary daughter of Nicholas Smith through whom they passed to the Carringtons of Bugsworth and were purchased in 1719 by Mr. Thomas Bagshawe of the Ridge and by him conveyed to Queen Anne's Bounty as the nucleus of a permanent stipend for the Minister of Chapel and they continued part of the Glebe until sold in 1928. The remainder passed to Francis Gee who married Elizabeth Marchenton (Marchington) and, dying in 1679, devised the estate to his widow, who in turn left it to Franics Morten of Brosterfield, gent., from whom it passed to Alexander Barker of Edensar, Gent., whose represenatives sold to Joseph Lowe of Kettleshulme. His descendants held the property until,1923, who sold it in 1940 Ref: CF page EAVES c1550 Comprised a number of farms

Ashbourne Lane to Long Lane. Lower Eaves, 1381 Wm. Orme

Bradshaw but this may be an error for in 1521 Henry Bradshaw of
Bradshaw devised to his sons William and Henry his farm of "ye
Eyvys"; he had paid Tristram Revell 10s. and 6s. 8d. to give up
his tenancy but the latter had refused to do so in accordance with his
covenant. Lower Eaves later became the
property of the Marple Bradshaws and was sold by their descendents,
the Isherwood, in 1798 to Thomas
Marchington, the tenant, whose family had been in
possession for more than 150 years. Thomas's daughter Elizabeth only
child married John Bennett of Stodhart and from them it passed to
their grandson the late Mr.Samuel Needham who built the present house
and whose representatives are now owners. An original bundle labelled "Law Proceedings
