Hucknall-under-Huthwaite is a village and township containing 1154 inhabitants, and 800 acres of land, one and a half mile west north west of Sutton-in-Ashfield; it is principally owned by the Duke of Portland; but John Dodsley Esq. has also an estate here, besides several smaller freeholders. Here is an extensive colliery, many framework-knitters and two chapels belonging to the Methodists and Independants. The poor have 8s. yearly, pursuant to the will of William Day and another donor, and £3 out of the £9 from ancient school land, viz.: Fennybank close, left in 1669, by Ann Mason; and Pothouse close left by Elizabeth Boot about fifty years ago to the Parish of Sutton, belongs to Hucknall, for the teaching of four of the poorest children in the township; the whole of this £3 was paid up to the year 1846, since which time the township of Sutton has claimed £1. 10s. out of the £3.; Mrs. Dickins teaches the four children and receives the thirty shillings yearly.
