Note: The People Involved

The names in the document provide the best clues for locating the land:

1. Rauffe Leche [Ralph Leche]: He was a prominent figure in the Peak District and North Derbyshire during the reign of Henry VIII. He served as a Justice of the Peace and was closely associated with Chatsworth [before the Cavendishes]. His involvement strongly suggests the land was in the Scarsdale Hundred [which includes Chesterfield and Ashover].

2. The Hoggekynsons [Hodgkinson]: This family was heavily established in Ashover. In fact, the Hodgkinson family eventually became the owners of The Overton Hall estate in Ashover, which sits adjacent to lands historically called "The Lowe."
