The history of Addersome meadow is
confusing. The deeds recorded here tell
the story of a messuage, with a meadow
called Addersome, from when it was sold
off by John Coghill. However, 10D below
also contains deeds about Addersome
meadow which seem unrelated to these
ones. It therefore seems that part of
the meadow was sold separately from the
rest at an unknown date, and only
reunited with the rest of the land in
1719.
To add to the confusion concerning the
history of this field, Sm. I-V show that
Sir John Lenthall sold some other lands
at Adderson in the 1620s, partly to the
Coles family, partly to the Silverside
family. The documents in this collection
show that this property led a separate
life from that described here in
E6/3/9D-10D, despite many close links
between them.
