Orchard (1)

A field of Marsh Farm in Yeovil Marsh

 

Orchard (1) (Parcel 1128) was a small triangular field of Marsh Farm in Yeovil Marsh.

As part of Marsh Farm, Orchard (1) 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 Orchard (1), 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 a href="tithes.htm"> 1846 Tithe Apportionment recorded that Orchard (1) (Parcel 1128) was then owned by William Neal and let to John Marshalsea. Neal appears not to have lived in the area. The Apportionment recorded that Orchard (1) was, indeed, an orchard and its measurement was given as 0a 13r 26p.

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.

Orchard (1) (Parcel 1128) was bounded on the north by the access lane to Pear Tree Farm (now extended eastwards, to join Stone Lane). To the east it was bounded by Home Mead (Parcel 1129) and to the southwest by Lower Mead (Parcel 1123).
