  2. The Landlord

    Share Share Post
    Mr. Wray was our landlord. The family have been in the district about two or three generations.. The Wrays were not looked upon as bad landlords. They came over with King William and took possession of the land which was divided into farms under their guidance.
    The farms were sub-divided among members of the families on marriage. Lithes (?) in the form of money were collected in the district in former times.
