Sorry but I can't find any Penny Quicks or variants thereof. I tried
www.old—maps.co.uk and also my notes on the stuff at Whitfield which
occasionally has lists of parcels. I suspect that land was in the hands of
Austen Gardner for many years.
The Rev. Edward Taylor's work on Bridge Hill was presumably before
1791. I hadn't heard of what were presumably public works in l829.
The road which was closed in 1830 was presumably the one clearly marked on
Hasted's map.

any thanks for that quality information. I expect the parish registers
throw more light on any relationships. [I suppose you know of the projec
o put all the indexes of the civil registers on line — l837 would be the
arliest but there are a few up already including information about Bridge.]
I also discovered that the Rev. Edward Taylor was responsible for
paving Bridge Hill (or at least sealing it to some sort of standard) before
being required to do so by the Turnpike Acts. Any idea when exactly that wou
have been? Laurence
