Tythby (Tithby)
"Tithby Parish consists of two townships, Tithby and Cropwell Butler, the former
of which contains 116 inhabitants and 567 acres of land, and the latter 695
inhabitants and 1,800 acres. They maintain their poor separately, and were both
enclosed in 1788, when 232 acres were allotted to the impropriator, and 30a 3r
32p to the incumbent curate in lieu of tithes, and 5a 3r 34p to the Duke of
Newcastle, as a commutation of his manorial claims in Cropwell Butler.
Tithby is a small but pleasant village, 2½ miles south-south-west of Bingham.
After the Conquest it was off the fees of William Peveril and Walter D'Ayncourt. For
many generations it was the property of the Chaworths of Wiverton, whose late
heiress carried it in marriage to John Musters Esq., the late lord of the manor,
improriator and patron of the perpetual curacy, which is certified at £102,
and is now in the incumbency of the Rev. Joshua Brooke."
