Madley
Inclosure Herefordshire 1862 Manuscript in small exercise book, compiled by
David Hindley. There's no clue as to
what part (if any) David Hindley played in the process, but this is his
record entitled 'Allotment in lieu of and Exchange for Common Fields in the
Parish of Madley in the County of Hereford made allotted & awarded by Mr
Wm Fosbrooke Surveyor Hereford - Completed at a Meeting held after Public
Notice at the Red Lion Inn in Madley July 17th 1862.'. There follows an indexed inventory of the
situation before and after inclosure, with details of owners, occupiers,
names of fields, their sizes and old&new field map numbers etc. David Hindley rented a small field owned by
the vicar, but he also owned about 5 acres.
One of the biggest landowners at the time was Guy's Hospital, with
over 50 acres. Small [approx
4"x7"] notebook, red covers, 80pp.

[Peterchurch
& Dorstone] Abstract of Title to 2 Plots of Land bordering the Golden
Valley Railway This 1894 abstract lists property transactions going back to
1882, though the story really starts with the death of Walter Gilbert Price
(of Holmer) in 1851. He left the 98 acre Snodhill Mill Farm (and the
watermill) to his nephew Nicholas Gilbert Price. Latterly, and heavily
mortgaged, the farm devolved to other parties. All this is background to the
presumably intended sale of 2 small plots of land which appear to have formed
part of the original 98 acre farm. Plots no's 311 (in Peterchurch) and 922
(in Dorstone) on the tithe map are both described as meadow, and a small
accompanying map shows them bordering the then Golden Valley Railway.
Manuscript on 9 large paper sheets. (ref 3680) |

Enstone, Llanwarne, 31 acres. 2.

Group of 18th Century Deeds relating to Littlefield and Suit Acre Ranging
in dates from 1740 to 1794, these 9 parchment & 1 paper deeds give
details of successive owners & occupiers. In 1740 John & Anne Jones
mortgaged the property and it remained so until the 1760s when it devolved to
the Beavan family. The name Suit Acre is not mentioned in the 2 latter
documents (1789 & 1794) which may indicate it had been sold off or
perhaps the name had gone out of use. A useful, if incomplete, run. (ref 16/65) |
