Mansfield history
Roman Period
Domesday Book (1086) recorded the settlement as Mammesfeld and market-petition documents of 1227 spelt it Maunnesfeld. King Richard II signed a warrant in November 1377 to grant tenants the right to hold a four-day fair each year. There are remains of 12th-Century King John’s Palace in Clipstone, between Mansfield and Edwinstowe.
Tudor Period
In 1516, during the reign of King Henry VIII, the Manor was settled to Thomas, Duke of Norfolk. The Manor was then passed to the Dukes of Newcastle and Portland.
16th and 17th Centuries
Several timber-framed cruck buildings were demolished in 1929; and in 1973 a local historical society documented another during demolition dated to 1400 or earlier. Other Tudor houses in Stockwell Gate, Bridge St, and Lime Tree Place were also demolished to make way for development before they could be viewed for listing.
19th century
Mansfield is the market town for an agricultural district of eight miles around it. It is the capital of the Broxtowe Hundred of Nottinghamshire, and gives its name to a Parliamentary Division of the county.
Ancient markets
Mansfield is a market town with a 700-year-old market tradition. The present market square was created after demolition under the Improvement Act of 1823. In the centre is the Bentinck Memorial, built in 1849.
