Wallingwells

Wallingwells is a small civil parish and hamlet in the Bassetlaw district of Nottinghamshire, England, with a population at the 2001 census of 22.

It is constructed of coursed rubble, ashlar, brick and render with slate hipped roofs to an irregular floor plan, and is now divided into four private houses.

[2] Wallingwells was granted by Queen Elizabeth I in 1563–1564 to Richard Pype (a leather seller) and Francis Bowyer (a grocer) of London, together with various lands in Wiltshire,[3] and the house built from the ruins of the priory.

It passed to his son Richard Taylor, who was High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire for 1689 and MP for East Retford from 1690 to 1698.

Richard died in 1699 leaving a sole surviving daughter, Bridget, who had married Thomas White, a wealthy and influential landowner, who owned the manor of Tuxford.

In total the hall has over 20 chimneys, over 50 windows including a glass dome, more than 20 bedrooms, and 7.75 acres of land, now mainly fields and gardens.
