Hello,
Hoping for help from knowledgeable Bedfordshire locals
I have a document dated 1651 that describes a piece of land owned by the CURFEY/CURVEY family, as follows, and I would like to try to locate it on a map if possible. I can find one landmark (Beckerings Park) easily on a modern map, but the other placenames elude me. Does anyone know where they are, or were?
"... Twoe acres and
a halfe of earable lande with thappurtenances (be the more or lesse) lyinge togeather in Litlington aforesaid
in a certen feilde there
neare to Beckaringes Parke upon a furlonge there called Gallowe Hill furlonge betwene the lande of William Bedcotte on the sowthe parte and the land of Thomas Coale on the Northe parte
buttinge west into
Lampitts highe waye that leadeth to Beckaringes Parke..."
Any help appreciated!
Prue
