Notes by A E Trout:

* See also paragraph in chapter on manors Aug 20 1330).

(on a separate sheet) Arksey with Bentley belonged to the family of Newmarch, it then passed to the family of Tibetot or Tiploft. The last of that line died in 1372 leaving 3 heiresses, two of these married Scropes and became possessed by the manor. 

Dodsworth the great Yorkshire antiquary visited Arksey on 10/7/1621 and gives a full list of windows, monuments etc, Tiploft, Scrope, Fitzwilliam etc.
