This document in the first instance lists the districts within the Manor of Newcastle under Lyme, eight in number with plans of the area of which encroachments are shown and further forms list of names of occupants. It’s a very important series. The Duchy of Lancaster, as Lord of the Manor, had a number of documents prepared 1777 -1781, for the renewal of the Lease of the Manor to the Right Honourable Granville Leveson Earl Gower, on the 2nd day of March 1781 for 31 years [to 1812]. Copies of these documents are in the City Museum & Art Gallery at Stoke on Trent. The documents are numbered and inclusive of plans of cottages that have been erected and lands enclosed from the manorial waste appear within this survey. The reasons for this were that buildings had been erected without prior agreement of the Lessee of the manor.
A very interesting series of plans and of huge benefit for historians who can ten identify buildings and occupiers.
