Using the Tithe Maps search, I found that Mayfield House is still there.

Also doing a search for landowner / occupants name - Temple, he shows up as having more than one plot.

You can see Mayfield House at http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html?coords=343524,368897  This is an aerial view http://binged.it/123bMc9 you can rotate the view. This the entrance off the main road http://goo.gl/maps/43Tep

Thanks for the map. At least now i know that Mayfield House exists. Maybe his other plot was Hoole House. It also looks like it was a boarding school. I had presumed that Sarah Driscoll was a teacher there as the 1851 census records her as married to Jesse Griffiths and living in Wrexham, she is a  school mistress.  She could have been a Sunday school teacher or just taught a few village children.

it`s odd, but I can find any mention of the Mayfield House in directories or old newspapers, but Isaac Temple is - quite often as Rev of Plemonstall / Plemstall.

i have also looked at directories and newspapers and found nothing. Nor anything more about Rev. Isaac Temple. It is quite a large house in a small area, you would think there would be more .
