Valuation of farms and the fulling mill in Crakehall, 1732
This is a survey of the property in Crakehall owned by Henry and Elizabeth Goddard in Crakehall in 1732. It was made in preparation for the sale of the manor to Mary Turner. The document is at NYCRO (ref. ZBA 11/10/23) and is transcribed with the kind permission of Sir Henry Beresford Peirse. The words in square brackets have been inserted by me for clarity. The deeds for the sale are at NYCRO (refs ZAW 11/1 and ZBA 5/11/3).
The survey was for the purpose of assessing the purchase price. The list from which the total rent is calculated (go to this part of the document) excludes Storrar's farm (Scroggs), Whitton's farm (West Pasture) and the warp (fulling) mill. These were excluded from the sale by Goddard to Turner.
John Castling is also listed as the tenant of West Pasture, and Thomas Castling tenant of Scroggs in the tithe account made in 1758.
In 1769 John Castling was tenant of "Goddard both farms" - i.e. Scroggs and West Pasture. The two farms were sold to the Huttons of Clifton Castle in 1778.
The "warp miln" was Crakehall High Mill. This remained in the ownership of the Goddard family until 1810, when it was bought by the Huttons. For the history of this mill, see here.

NB They are allowed to lay all their manure upon the tillage so the allowance for lyme ought to be deducted.
Nothing is to be allowed for weeding the hedgerows.
The free rent payable to my Lord Darcy is £12 - 12 - 4

To the poor of Little Craikhall out of the field called Bothams £0 - 8 - 0

NB These rents must be allowed for out of the purchase money and so ought the allowance for lyme as it is laid with the manure upon the tillage.
