Lower Five Acres

A field of Marsh Farm in Yeovil Marsh

 

Lower Five Acres (Parcel 1142) was a field of Marsh Farm in Yeovil Marsh.

As part of Marsh Farm, Lower Five Acres was sold in January 1833, at which time the owner was Samuel Glyde of Grove House, Yeovil, and the tenant was Henry Genge. In July 1837 the farm, including Lower Five Acres, was sold again with the details noting "... now in the occupation of Mr George Conway." In May 1844, Marsh Farm "in the occupation of Mr Charles Marshalsea" was offered for sale again.

The 1846 Tithe Apportionment recorded that Lower Five Acres (Parcel 1142) was then owned by William Neal and let to John Marshalsea. Neal appears not to have lived in the area. The Apportionment recorded that Lower Five Acres was meadow for growing hay. Its measurement was given as 4a 2r 0p.

In 1860, the tenant was recorded as John Mullett. During the early 1880s, the Kitton family were the tenants, followed by the family of Edward Indoe in the late 1880s and then Samuel Conway, followed by R Mead from 1890.

Lower Five Acres (Parcel 1142) was bounded on the west by German's Mead (Parcel 1143), to the north by Lock's Mead (Parcel 1148), to the east by Cud's Mead (Parcel 1147) and Clarke's Close (Parcel 1135). To the south it was bounded by Lower Pear Tree Close (Parcel 1136).
