Hello, Have looked for a parish of the name you queried in Gloucestershire and there is no such place - Could it be Lechlade??? and would it be worth you contacting the Gloucester Record Office - they have a web site
regards
Mary

Hi Flis,
not sure if you meant "I'm desperately trying to work out how to copy the relevant part of the will onto " Rootschat so you can try and help me decipher it.
If you did, try this link for tips, and if that doesn't work, ask us again.

Good Luck !

PS: if that is not what you meant then
a) apologies,  and
b) why not post it here anyway, it's the sort of puzzle we love

I think Mary may be right. Lechlade was rendered LEACHLADE in the past and the second letter could well be an E (compare with known examples).
Having said that, the initial letter looks very much like and S. Would whoever drew up the document have been familiar with the names, I wonder? If they were at a distance, they may have mistranscribed them!! 
There are various publications on the place names of Gloucestershire and field names. I imagine the GRO would be the place to find them.
kind regards

The majority of references to Wigmore on the net are to a place near Leintwardine, Herefordshire.
Alternatively there is a Wingmoor Farm at Stoke Orchard, north of Cheltenham (and I daresay others elsewhere).
