The Glebe, which lies within a ?ing farm was measured in 1809 as follows:-

acres roods perches

Barn Field	5	2	12
Bell Field	6	0	31
Coles Field	5	2	0
Killy Field	5	0	0
Lower Three Acres	2	2	8
Upper Three Acres	2	3	24
Gardia Field	5	2	0
Pond Field	3	0	0
Furze Field	2	2	2
Meadow	2	2	28
3 home plots	1	3	20
Total	42	3	5

In this measurement the private way leading down to Bell Field gate, & that leading down to the Furze Field , are not included neither the hedges nor garden, but only as far as the plough and scythings .

Calculating in the former measure to be incorrect, I had the Glebe measure again in 1843, as follows:-

acres roods perches

Barn Field	5	0	30
Bell Field	5	2	8
Coles Field	5	0	35
Killy Field	4	3	6
Water Meadow	2	2	27
Furze Field	1	2	36
Lower Three Acres	2	1	22
Upper Three Acres	2	2	37
Pond Field	2	3	13
Garden Field	5	0	30
Small Plot	0	1	4
Stable Plot	0	3	8
Front Plot	0	1	31
Back Garden	0	2	9
Garden Field	0	0	33
Total	40	2	9

This measure extends only as far as the Plough & Scythings go; & according to it, a Terrier of the Glebe was delivered at the arch Deacon's Visitation at Alton, January 1 1813, John STACEY & William CHALCRAFT being the churchwardens.

The Painting over the Communion Table was designed & measured in June 1815, by Miss Mary Anne NEALE , to whose ingenuity & kindness the Church & Congregation are indebted for so pleasing an arrangement it replaces plenty, peace & freedom; blessings , which we cannot too highly value & which we shall zealously endeavour to promote & perpetuate.

The Front Plot & the Front Garden are now (1815) land together in one by the removal of the fence.

In the summer of 1815 I built the new Granary, these being ??? before.
