Interesting
things
Lockington - hamlet long
abandoned but there were 33 people living there in 1861 - but by 1871 all had
"moved on", some to Ilmer (or the parish boundary changed?) and some
to Bledlow Common Leys.
See photos of what Lockington
looks like now on images page.
The Rose and Crown PH was "Waldrey House" in
1841
Lee Cottages - This row of 6 small terraced cottages not including the "The
Carpenters Arms" (on the end by the road) had 34 people living there in
1851
Parsonage Farm (on Lee Road
opposite the golf course) - I have included with the Church End as there was a
farmhouse at the Rectory pre 1900 (see images page) which I presume was then
rebuilt across the fields in its present position.
