GENUKI: White's Directory 1853 - Holme Pierre Pont |
 | | Holme Pierrepont Parish comprises the hamlets of Adbolton, Bassingfield, Holme, Pierrepont and Lamcote, with part of Gamston township, which is mostly in West Bridgford parish. |
 | | Adbolton, 2 miles west of Holme Pierrepont, and 3 miles south-east by east of Nottingham, was once a separate parish. |
 | | The manor of Adbolton was long held of the honour of the Peveril, by the Strelley family, but in 1598 it was granted by Queen Elizabeth to Sir Henry Pierrepont, and now belongs to his descendent, Earl Manvers. |
