Observations:
Property names are frequently reproduced phonetically in original documents, leading to considerable variations in spelling; the writing in old manuscripts can also be difficult to interpret. Property was also sometimes given the names of the current or previous owners [eg ‘Xyz’s Land’] and names therefore changed accordingly over time. In the list above, spellings in the original documents have sometimes been amended to conform to the most frequent usage, and this should be borne in mind if looking for a specific property name. References to alternative names [as distinct from spelling variants] are given where any are known.
Family names associated with individual properties may be as owner, leaseholder, tenant or sub-tenant; where known the status is given in the comments.
The above list is compiled from various external sources including the internet; further property or family names can also be found using the search engine for material held on this website.
Original Wills and other probate documents for most parishes in the Hundred of Ewyas Lacy are held by the National Library of Wales
