HAWTON, (Nottinghamshire) near Sherwood-Forest, is also called Halloughton, or Halmiston. It makes an entire prebend in
Southwell, which lies on the N. side of it; and is called the layprebend, because it has nothing spiritual, but the tithes
of its own land. This manor did lately bel. to John Forest, and Sir Cha. Ousley, or Wolsley, had it in lease.
