RAMPTON, (Nottinghamshire) to the N.E. of Tuxford, near the Trent, was anciently the estate of a family of the same name,
who gave some lands here to religious uses; after which it came by marriage to the Mullevels, who held it from the
beginning of the R. of Hen. II. to the last year of Rich. II. then to the Stanhopes, who held it almost as long; and
afterwards it came to Sir Gervase Eyre; and from him to other hands, too many to mention.
