Nicholas Strelley

His father (died 1491) was also called Nicholas Strelley, and his mother was Katherine, a daughter of Richard West, 7th Baron De La Warr.

[1][2][3] In May 1531, Strelley was Lieutenant of Sherwood Forest, and was asked to make a survey of the numbers of deer by royal commissioners.

[4] During the Pilgrimage of Grace, Strelley came to Nottingham Castle with Thomas Manners, 1st Earl of Rutland, who sent him to report to Henry VIII.

[9] Strelley had difficulty with the competing jurisdiction of the mayor of Berwick, and complained that markets in the town were not regulated according to statute.

[10] He was appointed deputy-warden of the East March in December 1551, but lost this second post in August 1552 when it was decided that border officers ought to hold only one position.
