COLWICK, (Nottinghamshire) Upper and Lower, on the r. Trent, 2 or 3 m. E. of Nottingham. The first bel. formerly to the
Peverels, then to the Colwicks and Byrons. Lower Colwick bel. formerly to the families of Nevers and Slory; but was
afterwards purchased by Sir John Byron, who having got both manors, sold them to Sir James Stonehouse; but, by reason of
the civil wars, never got much above half the purchase money. Since the Restoration the Ld Byron has recovered some small
part of them, and confirmed the title of Sir John Musters to the rest.
