By Terrier 1806, it appears that this Land is at Fakenham, and was then let to John Ivory, at £2 2s. per annum.

A Rent Charge of 15s. from an Estate at Kettlestone, and vested in the Rector of that place, given, by Will, by the Rev. John Branthwayt, about 1765, and distributed as the above.

T. 1806. - One Piece of Meadow Land, containing about 4A. lying in Reed Carr, but producing no rent. Also one Cottage for the use of the Poor, containing 2 dwellings, given by the late Right Hon. Charles Viscount Townshend.

OBSERVATION. - Who has the above 4 Acres? Who claims or possesses them? And how does it happen that they bring in nothing?
