Hello Richard, I have found that many maps are held by the landowner - one of the Oxford Colleges, such as Merton, which holds some land and Corpus Christi College, Oxford. I think I would check at Oxfordshire Record Office, before approaching any of the college archivists. The Victoria County History [VCH] shows these interesting snippets, but I am sure you wish to read more. The latter sentence mentions William Boulton. http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=10695 Although inclosure did not immediately reduce the number of proprietors within the parish, which remained between 90 and 100 in 1809-10, (fn. 3) it brought much former waste into cultivation and established a pattern of farms which survived into the 20th century. At Freeland W. E. Taunton not only laid out a park, but also developed a large farm by clearing the furze. In the early stages he used lime in great quantities, building several kilns to burn lime and make bricks. He rotated turnips, oats, rye grass, and clovers, but failed with wheat and barley. By 1807 he was cultivating c. 230 a., of which oats, the most successful crop, occupied 86 a. He also grazed 200 Berkshire sheep, which, in Arthur Young's view, was too few. (fn. 4) Other outlying farmhouses established soon after inclosure included Foxley and Newfield in the south, City Farm north of the village, (fn. 5) Little Green Farm on c. 143 a. sold by the Holloway trustees in 1805, (fn. 6) and Ambury Close Farm on another part of the Holloway estate; small farms in the Barnard Gate area, besides the long established Barnard Gate farm, were Salutation, White House, and Grange Close farms, all established before 1841. (fn. 7) Much of the land within the ring-fence of Eynsham Hall continued to be worked as farm land from Home Farm (on the site of the present Scott's House); in the late 18th century William Bolton was lessee of c. 250 a. there. (fn. 97) Also you should look at the Oxfordshire Place Name Society for Place Names of Oxfordshire -Gelling, Margaret (1967) http://www.whsmith.co.uk/CatalogAndSearch/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=9780 521049177 Old Maps will be found at http://www.old-maps.co.uk/index.html You may find Eynsham on line of interest http://eynsham-pc.gov.uk/ The Museum of English Rural Life at Reading holds very interesting details of farms in Berkshire - and I believe I am correct as I have found some, in Oxfordshire. http://www.reading.ac.uk/merl/collections/merl-collections.aspx And last but not least Eynsham History Group. An email to them may answer your question. http://www.eynsham.org/histgroup.html HTH, Jill http://www.kingston-bagpuize.com
