REPTON, (Derbyshire) near the conflux of the Dove and Trent, to the N. E. of Burton, was anciently a large T. where were
buried several of the Mercian Ks. It had also a priory; and Sir John Port, of Etwall in this Co. ordered a fr. sc. to be
erected here, which he endowed with lands in this Co. and Lancashire. The late Mrs. Thacker had a seat here.
