Text From Source: Near the end of King Henry's reign—that is, in the year 1268—there was a dispute betwixt the lord of Wortley and the parson, documentary evidence of which exists in the archives at Wortley Hall, to this effect: that "Nicholas de Wortley, who had brought an assize of a novel disseisin against Henry, Parson of the Church of Wortley, for Common of Pasture in Wortley, comes into Court, and signifies that he will proceed no farther in the said action, by entering his retraxit se upon record."

Appended to this ancient memorandum is the following :—" N.B.—It should seem, by this entry, that the vill of Wortley was at this time a distinct parish of itself, of which the defendant Henry was Parson."
