Ash next Ridley - Parish Information

A Downland Parish - Ash by Wrotham in Former Times by W. Frank Proudfoot

A manuscript history of Ash, written in the 1970's but never published (about W. Frank Proudfoot)

Chapter 8  -  The Hodsolls in Later Times  page 98

about two hundred and twenty-six acres of so much of South Ash Farm as lay within the parish; upwards of another hundred Ash acres from that farm and Little Farm were divided between two other tenants, Richard Rogers and Henry Walter.

17. Hodsoll also provided the maps required for tithe commutation purposes by Horton Kirby and Kingsdown. The continuity of a family capacity in this field is evidenced by the fact that when a survey was made of Mr Richard Rogers’ Attwood Place Farm in 1907, the task was entrusted to a Mr William Hodsoll,

from a Hodsoll estate agency business at Farningham. The survey was kindly shown to me a few years ago by Mr Kenneth Rogers of Hartley.

18.   The children were Ann, aged 17, Jane, 15, William, 14, Richard, 12, John, 11, and James, 9.

19.  Stagg, 2.

20. See Dartford Chronicle of 2 July 1928 (cutting in DCL).
