Property deeds are complex documents, often written in an archaic and legalistic form, which is convoluting, repetitive and lengthy. It is very difficult for a layman to destinguish the various documents - Conveyances, Mortgages, Indentures, and whether they are dealing with freehold, leasehold or copyhold. It really needs a solicitor to interpret these documents. The following is an attempt to at least clarify or itemise that which appears in the documents.
Julian Rawes, of Crooked Wall 18th February 14.

The above image has been extracted from one of the plans that shews in pink the area to which these deeds relate. In yellow is Village Street while the line running roughly from lower right to upper left shews the line of Green Street. From right to left the plan depicts:-

1. The little cottage on the corner. This building is not coulered pink on the 1838 plan of the village, which suggests that it was not then a home.
2. The larger L-shaped building is or was the Hop Pole Inn, now divided into two. The right-hand property is called Hop Pole Cottage.
3. The next building, its function now known but propbably a barn was demolished at some stage and a modern house stands in its place.
4. The next and tiny building was 'Spinks' Cottage, a timber framed building demolished in 1919. Bungalows now occupy its position.
5. The row of four tenements built in the 1840's and demolished in the 1960/70's. Here called 'Post Office Cottages'.

   

   The above photograph depicts the corner of Cotswold View on the extreme left, with Spinks Cottage in the centre and the Hop Pole complex beyond.
