Has anyone heard of this place ?
It was a freehold devised to one of my ancestors in an 1824 will.
-
Could it be Froddle Crook?

There are some articles in newspapers about froddle crook, Wetheral, unfortunately I cannot seem to get them in a format acceptable to roots chat, will try later.

Thanks, Cazza47 - I'll be pleased to have any info.
Especially as I'm still trying to discover exactly what/where/how big his estate at Froddle Crook was - the only info I have so far is that it was Freehold intermixed with Leasehold and Copyhold.
