    1. WHITEHOUSE/ROWLAND VAUGHAN
    2. DENISE LLOYD
    3. Hi Rowland Vaughan is famous for his water meadow system. In 1610 he probably wrote the first account of irrigation in England. He lived at Whitehouse Vowchurch Hereford. The adjoining estate was Newcourt where the Parry family lived. Indeed Rowland Vaughan married a Parry. Whitehouse Estate included many farms in the area but have since been sold off. The Wood family latterly lived there. The Whitehouse was the residence of the owners of the estate. It seems incredible that the area which is now mostly farmland was once inhabited by so many people and living in such interesting conditions - I must get along to the library and read up on the Whitsun Riots. Trust this helps sort out the whereabouts of Whitehouse. Regards Denise K M Lloyd
