RICOT, (Oxfordshire) 3 m. S. W. of Tame, and 8 m. E. from Oxford, bel. anciently to the Quatermans, and to the Veres Es.
of Oxford. Both Great and Little-Ricot were in the R. of Hen. VIII. purchased of Giles Heron of Shacklewell (who had
bought them of Sir Rich. Fowler) by John Ld. Williams of Tame; whose daughter carried them in marriage to Henry Ld.
Norris. They afterwards went by marriage to Montague E. of Lindsey; whose son, James E. of Abingdon, inherited her estate
here; and from him it descended to the present E. who has a park here.
