John Moore HERITAGE <strong>SERVICES</strong> Cobrey Farm, Ross on Wye, Herefordshire An Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment interrelationships of the owning families means that various parcels of land change hands between the original manorial holdings. (by Stephen Yeates) Inspection of the tithe maps for the area around Cobrey shows that there was previously a complicated arrangement of land holdings and that the parish boundaries have been altered. Field names were sought on four parochial maps: Walford, Weston-under-Penyard, Ross-on-Wye and Hope Mansell. The field names across Penyard Hill on the Ross-on-Wye tithe award were given no other names than that they were in Penyard Park (WNFC-Ross). The western field (Area B) was located in the parish of Walford (HRO BD87, BR79, WNFC-Walford), a reproduction of this 1840 map showing its field boundaries is produced in Fig 3. The field names listed are as followed: Cobrey Meadow (314, 340), The Yelds and Meers (317-318), Cinqfoin (319), Clump of Firs (320), Ruffett (321), The Near Cockstone Field (322), Middle Cockstone Field (323), Ruffett and Road to Ross (324), Twelve Acre Piece (325), The How Pits (326), Trbandy (327), The Horn Meadow (328), The Near Ridding (329), Tuck Mill Meadow (330), The Inage (331-332), The Old Roadway (333), Mansion and Buildings (341), The Lawn (342) and Wood Croft (345). The name Old Roadway is suggestive of the course of the road between Chase Wood and Penyard Park of having its course altered previously. The eastern field (Area A) was located in the parish of Weston-under-Penyard (HRO B9/16-17, M35/24-7, WNFC-Weston), a reproduction of the 1838 map showing the field boundaries is produced in Fig. 4. The following field names are located in the vicinity of Frogmore and Wallow Farms: Wig Meadow (171, 172, 174. 324-326), Craw Bridge (330), The Moors (331), Marsh Meadow (332), The Butts (333), Slaughtern (334), Wall House Meadow (335), Draw Bridge Orchard (335a), Draw Bridge Common Field (336), Colling Bill (336a), Plantation (337), Birches (338), 339 (Five Acres), Frogmore Homestead (340), Long Meadow (341), Six Acres (342), Part of Penyard Park (343), Wall Field (345), Wivington Piece (347), Bill Mill (359), Lawns (360), The Moors (361), Wallow Pleck (362), Moors (363), Tim Hill (390), Wallow Meadow (391), Wallow Orchard (392), Wallow Farm (393), New Croft Orchard (394), Old Field (395), The Meadow (396), and The Marsh Close (397). The central field (Area C) was located in a detached part of Hope Mansell parish (WNFC-Hope Mansell), a reproduction of the 1840 map showing the field boundaries is produced in Fig. 5 The following field names are recorded in the northern part of the parish: Twenty Acres (1), Lower Weavington (2), Upper Weavington (3), Brook (6), Bonners Meadow (7-8), Road from Hope Mansell to Ross (9), Upper Redding (10), Hen Grove (12), while nos. 4-5 and 11 are not named.
