House, Building & Farm Names
a. From Manorial Court Books
Messuage formerly Beavis
1725 Granhams Manor court book
Messuage formerly called Brevis’s (this is unusual in the sense that all other messuages are referred to as “late Kemp’s”, “formerly Jardine’s”; this can read either as a house name or a person’s name, which it clearly is)
1809 Granhams Manor court book
Essentially there are no house names. They are always identified by occupiers/owners.
Messuage called Lands, lately Kemp’s
1734 Buristead Manor court book
Messuage called Hutchinsons
Messuage called Steeds or Chapmans
1741, 1801 Buristead Manor court book
Messuage called Welfords
1764, 1801, 1829 Buristead Manor court book
Messuage called Pratts
1780, 1817, 1840, 1856 Buristead Manor court book
Messuage called Goldings
1729 Buristead Manor court book
Sold by Wm Ward to John Faircloth; I think this is an error for Goldwell, another family name (see Court Book,1730, messuage called Goldwells)
