Grewelthorpe

Bush Farm sale March 1831

This is an account kept by Thomas Kendray of Grewelthorpe of an auction held at Bush Farm Grewelthorpe on 26th March 1831.

It shows items sold and names of the buyer and amount paid.

It is an interesting record as it shows who was in the village 10 years before the first census of 1841. Although it must be realised that some would be farmers from other villages come to the sale.
It also shows archaic names for farm equipment.

In my opinion it is a record worth keeping, make of it what you will.
