    1. [ENG-SOM] Mailing Address of Vicar of St Barnabas, Queen Camel?
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: PeterSmith427 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.england.som.general/12964/mb.ashx Message Board Post: While on a short visit to Somerset in May, I had a look around the grounds and inside the church of St Barnabas at Queen Camel. A map inside the church caught my eye and I would love to find out if it is possible to get a copy of it. The map shows for the year 1795 the various types of fields in the parish, e.g. "Farms at Rack Rent," "Leaseholds" and "Freeholds" and who held the land that year, and I was able to see several fields farmed by my 5x great great grandfather Henry Morris (who paid over 5 Pounds land tax that year as he farmed both freehold and leasehold fields). I have photocopies of "99-year" leases of land from the Lord of the Manor (the Mildmay family of Hazelgrove House) which give the names of the fields he had leased, and it would be really very interesting see just where they were located? (I tried to take some pictures of the map, but the results are not very satisfactory). Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
