EPERSTON, EPRESTON,

But the greatest part of this town was the fee of Raph de Limosin, who was founder of 
the priory of Hertford, or else a very near successour of his of that name, who gave 
the tythes of Hugh Sampson (who held of him here) in Apurston, and Thorpin Newark 
Wapentac, of the said Raphs fee also, to that manastery, as in Woodborough is 
already noted. This Raph had to wife Hadwisa, by whom he had Alan de Limesi, the 
father of Gerard, who by Amicia his wife, had John de Limesi, who married Alice, the 
daughter of Robert de Harecurt, and begat on her Hugh de Limesi; but he dying 
without issue, as his uncles Gerard and Alan did, this barony was divided between 
Hugh de Odingselles, a Fleming, who married Basilia, one of the daughters of the said 
Gerard de Limesi, grandfather of the last Hugh de Limesi, and David de Lindesei, a 
Scot, who married Alianora, another of the daughters of the said Gerard.

Gerard de Odingsells (son of Basilia, and the said Hugh de Odingselles) had a knights 
fee here in Eperston, which William Sampson held of him in the time of H. 3.

Hugh de Odingeselles (son of Gerard) 16 E. 1. impleaded Walter le Ken,and fifteen, 
others for throwing down his ditch bank at Eperston, who pleaded, that they had 
common in the lands inclosed; and upon the same occasion, 17 E. 1. for throwing in 
four hundred perches of his ditch about his wood in Eperston, John de Heriz, and 
John le Provost pleaded that there was common of pasture belonging to their 
freeholds in Gonaldeston.
