(i) Miscellaneous Settlements with no means of establishing any identity of place.

The maps and plans have been arranged in the same manner as the deeds, but have been separated from them because they have no apparent connection with them. They cover roughly the same areas as the deeds with the addition of a plan, 1773, of land after the "earthquake" at Buildwas, Salop: and also an estate map for Chigwell, Essex.

There is a section of items unrelated to the other material, including some papers of the Ledbury Agricultural Society.

Listed in a further section are

(a) Records of Ledbury Council Schools (Minute and Letter Books)

(b) Order Book of the Ledbury Turnpike Trust and

(c) Ledbury Churchwardens' Account Book, 19th Century

The last item is received on temporary deposit pending arrangements in connection with the Parish Records Survey.

Deposited at Hereford County Record Office September 1963.
