YOXHALL, (Staffordshire) 4 m. N. from Lichfield, and W. from Burton, forbcl. to the Es, of Lancaster, one of whom, in the
R. of Edw. I. obtained a weekly Mt. here on St and a Fair on St. Swithin's-day. Having forfeited it by rebellion, K. Edw.
II. gave it to his secretary, Rob. Holland, in whose family, afterwards Es. of Exeter, it continued a long time. At length
it came to be the estate of Sir William Holies, whose posterity had it not very long ago, if they have not still. The Mt.
and Fair have been long discontinued; but once a year here is a wake upon a Sunday.
