Catalogue description SUTTON BONINGTON (NOTTS.)

Sutton and Bonington were adjacent but separate villages which were combined into one parish. The advowson of Bonington was associated with the holding at Thorpe-in-the-Glebe (Notts.) in both inquisitions of 1325, and was held by Thomas de Mowbray in 1399. The identity of Thomas de Segrave, who seems to have held the lands in Sutton in the 1320s (below, BCM/D/5/69/2-3 [GC 2420, GC 2730]) is otherwise unknown, but he may have been a younger son of John Lord Segrave (d. 1325). [He is possibly the same man as Thomas de Segrave, rector of Fenstanton, who acquired a rent of 6s. 8d. in Cambridge in 1320: above, BCM/D/5/4/2 [GC 2312].] The damaged charter below, BCM/D/5/69/1 [GC 1003], may record John de Segrave's acquisition of the holding, which is not mentioned separately in the muniments after 1334 but may have passed with Thorpe-in-the-Glebe: below, this page.
