Higher Five Acres

A field of Marsh Farm in Yeovil Marsh

 

Higher Five Acres (Parcel 1141) was a field of Marsh Farm in Yeovil Marsh.

As part of Marsh Farm, Higher 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 Higher 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 Higher Five Acres (Parcel 1141) was then owned by William Neal and let to John Marshalsea. Neal appears not to have lived in the area. The Apportionment recorded that Higher Five Acres was pasture for grazing livestock. Its measurement was given as 5a 0r 16p.

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.

Higher Five Acres (Parcel 1141) was bounded on the west by Broad Marsh (Parcel 1140), to the north by German's Mead (Parcel1143) and Lower Five Acres (Parcel 1142), to the east by Lower Pear Tree Close (Parcel 1136) and to the south by Orchard (2) (Parcel 1137) and Plot (Parcel 1138).
