Survey of Fields in Ireton Wood

Joan Wheeldon writes "1881 - copy of an old Ireton Wood survey which one of my Wheeldon ancestors did - unfortunately I have no idea of the date of the survey, only when it was copied". The 17 pages give a lot of information about fields around Ireton Wood, fieldnames, areas (in Acres, Roods and Perches), Names of proprietor, Number on Plan, and Names of Occupiers. Some of the fieldnames are delightful. Fields 1 to 218 are all mentioned, except for 25,46,61 and 191, distributed among 35 named occupiers, total area 802 acres, average occupation 22.9 acres.
