PICKWORTH, (Rutland) to the E. of that called Five-Mile-Cross, in the York road from Stamford, was formerly a T. with a p.-Ch. of which nothing remains but the steeple, now called Mockbeggar. Sir John Geney, who was Ld. of this manor in the R. of Hen. VI. ordered it to be sold after his death; and it was purchased by Sir Hen. Inglose, for 1000 marks of silver. It was afterwards Sir John Huffy's manor; upon whose attainder it reverted to the crown. In the R. of Ja. I. it was John Ld. Harrington's; and since, by the purchase of it from his sister, the Css. of Bedford, is become the E. of Exeter's. Some lands here bel. formerly to the mon. of Oweston in Leicestershire.
