Hello Clare,

I've got some info which may interest you and a couple of photos, but I'll send you a private message if I can work out how, since it's, as you say, "off topic".

By the 18th century the estate was divided between Clayhill and Little Clayhill. (fn. 172) In 1709 Clayhill was held by William Ruscombe, who by 1733 had been succeeded by Joseph (d. 1763). (fn. 173) Joseph's daughter Elizabeth married John Poole (d. 1792), and by 1826 their son the Revd. John Poole (d. 1857) was in possession. (fn. 174) John's nephew Gabriel Poole sold Clayhill to William Gooding (d. 1902) of Durleigh. (fn. 175) In 1916 Gooding's son William and other members of the family sold it to Harry Nation, who put it up for sale in 1943. (fn. 176) It was bought by the Irish family, owners in 1989.
