Any help in confirming (or refuting) that the three references below to a residence called TANYARD all pertain to the same place would be greatly appreciated! 1) From Thomas Rowland Hooper published A Surrey and Sussex Border Church; Reminiscences of Old-Time Baptist Assemblies at Turners Hill, Horley, and District 1650 to 1840 (Thomas Rowland Hooper, [Stanley L. Hunt, The Printeries, Rushden, Northants], 1925: "The places of the executive and Quarterly Meetings were for many years chiefly at Turner's Hill (from 1727 to 1759 at Griffle English's house). After about 1752 they were occasionally held at Bro. Dodd's, Hollylands, Horley; at the *TANYARD*, and at Thomas Streater's, at Enhams, also once or twice at "Colinden." After 1766 Richard Holiday's House, Cogman's Burstow, alternately with Mee (Meath) Green was used till in 1771 some "Scandlus Reports" connected with the former led to the meeting of Dec. 4, 1771, being transferred to Shepherds, Outwood. After more than a century the Church was provided with a Meeting House, erected in Horley Row... It was occupied from 1760 to 1791... After 1791 it became a dwelling house... An annex with an oven was erected and for over hundred years a baker's business was carried on and the place known as "The Old Bakehouse." In 1920 it was sold and renovated and is now a private residence. Of those at Horley the *TANYARD* was long since closed and the house rebuilt. Collinden, a farmhouse near Horse Hill, and Enham, perhaps "Inholm" near Harrowsley, have remains. Hollylands seems uncertain; its reputed site is near Horley lands on the Balcomb Road, where is yet an ancient house.” 2) From Google Maps: Tanyard Russ Hill Rd Charlwood, Horley, Surrey RH6, UK <http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&time=&date=&ttype=&q=tanyard ,+horley,+surrey&sll=51.279958,-0.211487&sspn=0.187694,0.44014&ie=UTF8&ll=51 .156766,-0.230412&spn=0.011762,0.027509&z=15&iwloc=addr&om=0> For other residences cited in the exerpt above above, please see my customized Google map: <http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&gl=us&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=1042936327031 08193753.000442f0f14a388d5af5c> 3) From http://www.dbrg.org.uk/charlwood.html: Tanyard Farm c1600 TQ238410 Smallhouse,2.5 bays including smoke bay, with earlier truss forming rear wall Thanks for your help, Perry Perry Streeter (mailto:perry@streeter.com) http://www.perry.streeter.com

Perry, There is a Tanyard Farm in Horley at TQ293 441. It is circa 1500 with modifications in 1600 and 19th. century. This could be the place they are referring to but I don't know why they say 'THE' Tanyard. Regards, Ray.
