  1. Local Landlords

    Share Share Post
    An old Landlord by the name of Mr. Leigh who resided in the lands of Rosegarland turned out so many people out of their homes and levelled so many houses that he was known as "Leigh" or "level".
    He turned the people out because they were unable to pay the high rents which he put on their land.
