This parish history of Blidworth - the parish within which the Fishpool Hoard was buried - records that at Domesday (1086) the manor was held by Aldred, Archbishop of York, with Calverton as a dependent berewick, placing the entire area under archiepiscopal lordship before and after the Norman Conquest. The article explicitly names "the Fishpool part of the parish," confirming that Fishpool was a recognised sub-locality of Blidworth with a stream (the source of the Doverbeck) that gave it its name and which was still living memory in the nineteenth century. Together with the Domesday evidence, this establishes that the land around the hoard site was ecclesiastical estate territory within the Archbishop of York's Sherwood-edge holdings - the manorial and landscape context into which the 1464 coin burial fits.

This passage places the Fishpool find-spot within a precisely identified medieval landscape feature - the "Blyworth fyspole" recorded on the early 15th-century Belvoir map of Sherwood Forest - confirming that the locality was a known named feature within the royal forest of Sherwood, lying in the parish of Blidworth (Newark wapentake), at the headwaters of the Doverbeck River. The reference to the Belvoir forest map demonstrates that the area was subject to forest administration and manorial oversight in the period immediately before the hoard's burial c. 1464. This directly contextualises the hoard's deposition within the woodland waste of Sherwood, an area under Crown forest law and adjacent to estates whose lords owed forest-related obligations.
