Koning
Edward III (r.1327-1377) gedurende hierdie Nicholas se leeftyd. Although
up to the time of Edward III most of the wool from England was exported, the
West Riding was a textile manufacturing area from earliest recorded times.
Ancient documents indicate that there were cloth mills in Leeds and fulling
mills in Leeds and Bradford as far back as the 12th century . At the close of
the 14th century, there were four cloth mills in Leeds. At that point, however,
Wakefield was a more important cloth center. Wakefield was the third most
important cloth center in West Riding in the late 1400s. (Yorkshire.

royal charters granted for the privilege to market, trade, or conduct business.

Lisours [Lizours]
The Barons of Lisores, Normandy, were a branch of the Bassetts. In 1165
Warner de Lisures held a barony in Wilts, and was Sheriff of Dorset and
Somerset in, Robert in Hunts, and R. was forester in fee, Northants. They are first
to be met with in South Yorkshire. "Fulk de Lisours," says Hunter,
"is supposed to have been a relation of Roger de Busli's. In the time of the sons of the Conqueror
appear two brothers, Fulk and Torard, both known by the addition De Lusoriis or
De Lizours. Torard was the ancestor of the Lisours of
Nottinghamshire, where they continued for some centuries, while Fulk had the
land of Sprotborough with a portion of the Nottinghamshire lands. Thorold de Lisours, the progenitor of the
Nottinghamshire house his descendants continued there till late in the
fourteenth century. Nigel de
Fleburg (Fledburgh) held three knights' fees of the Bishop of Lincoln t. Hen.
II.; a second Nigel was in possession in the following century, and John de
Lisours, his son, was knight of the shire for Nottingham in 1312 and 1316. He
was also one of the Commissioners for raising foot soldiers in the latter year.
Peter de Lisours, and Joan his wife, occur in 1330; and a second John, Lord of
Fledburgh, in 1360, whose son James was married in 1364. From the marriage
settlements of the bride it is evident that the line terminated in him; for
Fledburgh, and several other manors, then entailed on "the right heirs
male of Sir John de Lisours for ever," with remainder to the Bassets of
Normanton, had, soon after, passed to the last-named family. (Duchess of Cleveland: The battle abbey roll. With some account of the norman lineages in
three volumes. – Vol. 111. London. 1889)

New
Hall dateer
moontlik uit ongeveer 1200 toe 'n moated
house deur die Warwicks as 'n jag lodge gebou is, om die ou herehuis te
vervang. Die Warwicks het die eiendom aan Sir John Lizours en andere uitverhuur
in 1340. (History of Sutton Coldfield –
New Hall) This being a member of Sutton, was about the beginning of E.3 time,
possest by one Will. De Sutton of Warwick;
which Will. or his predecessors, had it from one of the Earls of Warwick, and
granted it to one Robert de Sutton, a merchant of Coventry, who passed it, in
13 Edward III, unto Thomas de Beauchamp, earl of Warwick, and Sir John Lizours,
of Fledborough, in Com. Nott. Knight, to the behoof of the said Sir John and
his heirs, as it seems for the next year following, the said Earl released all
his right therin accordingly; in which
Release it is termed one Messuage called New Hall. (History of
the forest and chase of Sutton Coldfield [by L. Bracken]. - Page 93. L.
