  === Life Sketch ===
  ADAM DE NEWMARCH, the younger son of Adam the 2nd, succeeded his father in the possession of the Whatton estates, as has been already mentioned. He was, of course, the uncle of that Adam who was so conspicuous in the latter part of the reign of Henry III., with whom be was cotemporary, and for whom he has been in some instances mistaken. Re is recorded to have confirmed the gifts of his ancestors, Adam and Adelina, to the Canons of Nostell, an act which serves to identify him and to prove his descent, while on the other hand he received in 25 Henry In. A.D. 1241, a grant of lands from the Abbot and Convent of Wellebek, which lands are described in the Chartulary as "lying between the Holme of the said Sir Adam and the Causeway of Aslacton." The Harleian M.S.S. state the wife of this Adam to have been the daughter of Roger de Mowbray, and it is quite possible she might have been so, for that Baron had possessions in Nottinghamshire, some of which came to the Newmarches; but care must be taken not to confuse this Elizabeth with the wife of Adam of Bentley, temp. Edw I.
  
  The Church of Whatton contains two monuments, one of them in alabaster, surmounted by the figure of a knight clad in mail and rich armour, upon whose helmet appears the head and part of the body of a griffin compassed with a coronet. Below the figure are the Arms of Newmarch, five fusils in Fesse. On the sides of the monument are eighteen shields embossed, containing the arms which the Knight in question was entitled to quarter. The monument bears the inscription of "A * * * Newmarch," by whom was intended we have little doubt the Adam whom we are now noticing, and not, as the writer of the work called "Magna Britannia" has assumed, Adam the Benefactor of Nostell, or Adam the 2nd his grandson. The Arms of Newmarch, of Whatton, were, Argent, five fusils in fesse, gules; those of Newmarch, of Bentley, Gules, five fusils in fesse, or. Thoroton's Notts. Harleian M.S.S.
