SHIPTON, Joseph (1800-1860) & Anna (1815-1901) - owners of "The Field", Wickhamford
In the South-West corner of the parish of Wickhamford is a piece of land, bordering on Murcot, Childswickham, known simply as ‘The Field’ in 19th century records. In the list of landowners in the village who were paying a Tithe in 1842, the vast majority of land was owned by Lord Sandys. ‘The Field’ was an exception, being owned by Anna Savage. It was a pasture and her tenant there was John Kite. The area of the land was 9 acre, 0 roods and 33 perches and the annual Tithe payment due was £3 9s 0d.
SEWARD Family in Lichfield - Thomas (1708-1790) and Anna (1742-1809)
John Seward (1667-1737) and his wife Mary (1669-1740) raised their seven sons in Badsey. Thomas (1709-1790) was the youngest. In 1723 he went to Westminster School and then to St John’s in Cambridge graduating as BA in 1730 and then MA in 1734. He was lucky to have the patronage of the Fitzroy Family and went off on a Grand Tour in Europe as Tutor to Charles Fitzroy. Unluckily in 1739 while abroad the young man died. Thomas returned to an ecclesiastical preferment in the patronage of the Dukes of Grafton.
