No individual entry for Tickhill found in the Domesday survey. The entry for this Augustinian friary in the Victoria County History (York, vol. 3, 1974) notes: "The house was founded towards the end of the reign of Henry III. [r. 1216-1272]. On 20 September 1274, in the church of Blyth, one friar of this house, Thomas de Irkingeham, was ordained deacon, and three, John of Staunton, David of Haverford, and Robert of Retford, priests. [...] In 1279 the king gave them four oaks for the work of their church. [...] In the parish church is a gorgeous monument of alabaster, richly painted, which was removed from the friary church at the Dissolution. It is adorned with the arms of Fitz William, Clarel and Nevill, and upon it lie the effigies of a knight and lady. The inscription, now much defaced, contains names of (Sir Richard) Fitz William, kt., and Lady Lucy Nevill, daughter of John, Marquess of Montagu, his wife. [...] Richard Robinson, the prior, gave evidence respecting the relations of the prior of the Austin Friars of Grimsby with the rebels in 1536. [...] He and seven brethren gave up the house to Sir George Lawson and his fellow commissioners, 19 November 1538." The entry for this friary and friary close in Historic England [Listing NGR: SK5860492755] notes: "Founded as an Augustinian Friary circa 1260 by John Clarel, a canon of Southwell, and dissolved in 1530. Subsequently a house, held by the Slyman family in the C17 and the Hawkesworths in the C18. Its church housed the Fitzwilliam tomb (now in the Parish Church) until 1538. Present buildings, although problematical, are substantially Cl4, adapted for domestic use in the C17 (perhaps at the time of the lintel dated 1663), and enlarged in C19. " [cf.
