It was part of an area of 15 acres, three roods and four perches originally granted to John Dickson. |
|
In 1914, 1 acre was taken for a pumice quarry, and subsequently 3 roods, or 27.8 perches, were returned to the descendants of those owners. |
|
It is described in Griffith's Valuation of 1857 as containing one acre two roods and five perches and owned by him. |
|
The most famous of the roods was that of Boxley in Kent, which used to smile and bow, or frown and shake its head, as its worshippers were generous or closehanded. |
|
Roods, and often their lofts and screens, were cut down and bells were taken down. |
