[Throsby] Winckburn.

This manor continued in the Burnell family till the death of D'Arcy Burnell, esq; in 1772, who left it by will to his heir at law, on condition of assuming his name and arms. A verdict of a jury, gave it to Peter Pegge, esq; of Bouchief Abbey, in Derbyshire, and Richard Bristow, esq; son of William Bristow, esq; mentioned in Beefthorp, descended from two sisters, branches of that family. This Richard Bristowe Burnell died in 1789, leaving his moiety of the lordship to Mary his widow, the present possessor. This lordship is large and contains a great quantity of wood land.

The hall house here is occupied by Mr. Pegge Burnell, who bought, a little before the death of Mr. Bristowe, his share of the house and park.

Winkburne chapel is situate near the Hall. It has a bold tower, and one aisle. In the chancel are two mural monuments, one for William Burnell, mentioned by Thoroton above as having the grant from Edward the sixth. He is figured in armour.— The other is a handsome marble one for D'Arcy Burnell, esquire, who died in 1772. Here are also divers gravestones for this family, many of which are illegible. This is a donative curacy together with Maplebeck. The patronage is in the hands of Peter Pegge Burnell, esq; and Mrs. Bristow Burnell. Incumbent, the Revd. Mr. Cane of Southwell.
