Foxlowe, who lived at Elton Rectory, near Worksop, and was also the owner of Staveley Hall, where he died in 1841. The Rev. F. O. Morris lived at Ordsall as Curate in charge. He was the great authority on British Birds, and planted some of the large trees round the garden. He afterwards became Vicar of Nunburnholme in Yorkshire, and his son succeeded him there. There was a garden and paddock in front of the house.

	The Overseers of a Parish had to administer the Poor Law, and their accounts are often very interesting. (Unfortunately the accounts for Ordsall are lost.) Their duty was to look after the poor in the parish, and see that strangers did not come in from other parishes. They found work for the unemployed, and gave relief to old people and orphans. An Act was passed in 1722 to set up Workhouses in towns, but this did not affect villages for a long time afterwards. Three Workhouses were built in the three old parishes of Nottingham in 1726. Here the Overseers owned these cottages in High Street, where they allowed old people to live, and they had two or three cottages on Thrumpton Green at the back of the present school. There were also trustees for the small Charity field at Whitehouses, which we have mentioned before.
103	2 Houses.		William Ellis.	Mary Hirst. Now pulled down. They stood at the back of 135.
104	The Pound.		Inhabitants of Ordsall.	Pulled down. 135 now stands here.
	Every village had a Pound in former days. They may still he seen at Headon, Rampton, and other places. Stray cattle were placed here, and the owners fined. The official in charge was called a Pindar, and he was sometimes elected at Easter. After the Local Government Act these duties were taken over by the rural police, and the village pounds were no longer kept in repair. Probably after the Enclosure of the Commons and Open Fie1ds cattle did not stray so much, and the pounds were not needed.

It was for the use of the parish and can still be seen at the corner of Ollerton Road. A small garden was at the back.

London Road. Right-hand side from Eaton. [Top]

One hundred years ago [1838], London Road was called Farmer’s Lane.

There were only a few houses there then. The Elms, Mr. Millington’s house (the old High School), and Storcroft Terrace had been built a few years before. The Lodge in Grove Coach Road, and four cottages at the corner of Whinney Moor Lane can he seen on the old map of 1838, and all the rest was pasture land between Whitehouses and South Street.

The first houses in South Retford were built near the Borough Boundary, and became Wright Wilson Street. Poplar Street, and South Street were made but contained only gardens at that time.

A road (now called Albert Road) went for a short distance, and then turning left became Thrumpton Lane. This lane led through fields to Thrumpton Green where there was a large pond, much frequented by geese. This is now the site of the School, and the short lane there led towards the river and was called Water Lane. Whinney Moor Lane was called Oak Tree Lane.

It is interesting to note that there were two windmills, which have long since been pulled down. One stood in Poplar Street, near the Bakehouse, and the other in a garden now covered by Jenkins’ works.

Thrumpton - history [Top]

Thrumpton was a small hamlet in the Parish of Ordsall, and there is a village of the same name near Nottingham. Apparently it was a ‘ tun’ or farrnstead in Saxon times.

This part of the parish was always included in the ‘soke’ or group of villages belonging to the Manor of Dunham. This was originally a Royal Manor, which held its annual Courts at Dunham, and included the villages of Ragnall, Darlton, East Drayton, East Markham, Little Gringley, Headon, Upton and Ordsall. At a later period the Manor was granted by the King to other holders, and some of the old minute books of the Court Leet and Court Baron still exist for the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The River Idle formed a natural boundary, and the other part of the Parish, west of the river, belonged to the Manor of Elkesley, which was held for a long time by the Dukes of Newcastle, as part of the Duchy of Lancaster, and leased by them from the Crown.

The two parts of the parish were known as The Lordship of Thrumpton, and the Lordship of Ordsall.

There were two or three large houses here, including the old hall which was afterwards converted into cottages and recently pulled down. In the South Aisle of the Church is a monument to Richard Brownlow of Thrumpton, who probably lived at this old house.

Other large houses were “The Grove“ and “White Hall,” which were the only two houses on the left in Thrumpton Lane a century ago.
