It appears in the 1785 Deed Book for St Vincent, which traces its ownership by John Hunt, who lost control of the estate to his mortgagee William Snell 28/06/1775, and the sequential purchasing of the equity of redemption in the estate, first by Robert Wynne, then by John Bradshaw and finally by William Collins from Bradshaw's heir Thomas Bradshaw. |
