Looks like Cottenham to me.  According to wiki Charles Christopher Pepys was elevated to the peerage as Baron Cottenham of Cottenham in the County of Cambridge when he became Lord Chancellor in January 1836.

Could it possibly be Chesham. There was a Liberal MP at this time, Charles Compton Cavendish, 1st Baron Chesham. The only thing is he was MP for East Sussex  & Buckinghamshire, so no direct connection with Nottingham.

Could it possibly be Cottenham?There was a Charles Pepys 1st Earl (Lord) Cottenham,sometime Lord Chancellor(connection with legal profession?) in Parliament at this time,though it would have to be checked when his title was granted with resect to 1838.

Hi Roger,

Many thanks for your suggestion which I think is CORRECT! Well done. Looking at it again I agree that 3rd letter to be an uncrossed 't'. COTTENHAM it is !
Thanks to everyone else for their comments & interest.
