N Cove is not recorded in Domesday, but Suckling identified it with
'Hetheburgfeld', which the present author is unable to trace. There was, at any
rate, no manor called North Cove, the lordship being later styled Wathes Hall,
after Robert de Watheby of Wmoreland who held the estate in the later 12thc. In
c.1180 it passed to the fitz Jernegan family by marriage and continued
in this line until the 16thc.
Benefice of Worlingham with Barnby and North
Cove.
