Northwood is not mentioned in Domesday Book; it was presumably part of the large parish of Stottesdon. Indeed, it has always been part of that ecclesiastical parish. At some point, probably in the 12th Century, it came into the ownership of the Baskerville family. The Baskervilles also held Pickthorn from Wenlock Abbey and Newton, adjacent to Pickthorn on the north-west. Thus they held a significant parcel of land. The various heads of the Baskerville family sublet their land in Northwood to a variety of undertenants. The most significant of these belonged to a junior branch of the Baskerville family. In the second half of the 13th Century these were represented by Hugh, Juliana and >>> Helewise <<<, children of Isolda Baskerville and her husband, a member of the Botterell family of Aston Botterell. Hugh died in 1292/3 leaving Margaret his wife and two sons, Baldwin and John. John died by 1316/17 leaving a son, Thomas.

The earliest document which bears upon Baskerville's feoffment in Northwood has been already quoted; [155] but it indicates nothing more than that Thomas de Baskerville was interested here. In 1255 Walter, Grandson of that

[153] The Challenger in such cases had to repeat his appeal in five County Courts before further steps could be taken.

Thomas, was Lord of both Vills. The Stottesden Jurors spoke of Northwood nearly as follows:- "Walter de Baskerville, son of Roger de Baskerville , is Lord . Therein are six virgates of land; and he should hold them of the King in capite. He does suit to the Hundred twice a year at the Sheriff's Tourn, but not to the lesser Hundred-Courts, because his Ancestors never did . It pays 2d. for stretward and 4d. for motfee . Philip de Girros holds half a virgate of land for doing suit to the lesser Hundred-Court for the said vill". [156] Sibil Giffard's Custody of Walter de Baskerville's lands has been set forth already in another place. [157] Philip de Girros, the Under-Tenant named by the Stettesden Jurors, was himself of their number. He may possibly be identical with that Philip, son of Philip de Girros, whom we have spoken of as interested in Burwarton twenty-nine years earlier. [157]

At this time however the principal Tenant of young Walter de Baskerville at Northwood was Hugh de Baskerville: he was, I think, Son of >>> Isolda or Hisota <<<, Sister of that Thomas de Baskerville of Pickthorn who died in 1241. He bore therefore his Mother's name; but whereas we shall see that both his Sisters, Juliana and >>> Helewise <<<, occasionally bore the name of Botterell, I think that Isolda's husband and Hugh's Father was a Botterell. We have heard of this Hugh de Baskerville under various circumstances and dates, ranging from 1241 to 1292, [158] for I doubt not that the same person is indicated throughout. I now proceed to offer the documents which bear upon his tenancy in Northwood. About 1240, as I presume, "Thomas de Baskerville grants to Hugh de Baskervill and Marjory his wife that virgate in Northwood which Hisota, sister of the Grantor, held". [159] The only Witness given for this Deed is Sir Roger de Baskerville, whom I presume to have been son and heir expectant of the Grantor, and, if I rightly fix the relations of the parties concerned, first Cousin of the Grantee. By another Deed, which I cannot venture to date, Juliana Botterell grants to her Brother, Hugh de Baskerville, that virgate in

Northwode which their Mother
>>> Ysolda de Baskerville <<< held. At the Assizes of January, 1256, I find that Hugh de Baskerville was in misericordia for non-prosecution of a suit which he had against Ralph d'Arraz for erection of a stank which injured Hugh's free tenement in Northwode. [160] Also at the same Assizes >>> Helewise de Baskerville <<< and Juliana her Sister were in misericordia for not prosecuting a suit of mort d'ancestre against Hugh Peche concerning a virgate of land in Northwud. [161] By Patent, dated at Shrewsbury, August 24, 1267, King Henry III grants that Hugh de Baskerville shall not, for the rest of his life or against his will, be put on any Assize, Jury, etc. [162] On May 4, 1271, Helewyse Boterel sued out a writ of mort d'ancestre against Hugh de Baskerville for a messuage and virgate in Nortwode.

About this time [1256?] Emma fitz Paen of Northwood grants to Hugh de Baskerville and Margery his wife part of her land in Northwood, viz. four acres in different quarters, and partly bounded by land which said Hugh had held in time of Emma's husband, William: rent 4d., payable at the Feast of St. Milberg, in February. The Grantees had given said Emma 16s. for this in her urgent necessity, and for sustenance of herself and daughter Matilda, who assented to the sale.- Witnesses: Adam de Bold, Thomas de Berdeleg, William de Pilarditon, Stephen de Bold, Thomas de Northgrave, William de Bardeleg, John de Drayton, Adam Sauvage, Hamo Gamel of Stottesden.

Hugh de Baskerville's non-attendance at the Assizes of 1292 has been mentioned under Pickthorn. His great age, and the King's Patent twenty-five years before, will equally account for his Default. And within a year he died, though Margery, for fifty years his wife, survived him; for in 21 Edw. I Margery, Widow of Hugh de Baskerville, quit-claims to her son, Baldwin, all her right in Northwode, having first, as I suppose, by another deed given "to her son John that virgate in Northwode which Thomas de Baskerville Lord of Pickthorne gave her".
