Hanslope Memorials

Richard Lattimer (1764 to 1828) was recorded as a cordwainer in 1798, and is shown as owner of 13 and 15 Gold Street in 1818.  His son William (1788 to 1861) ran the Greyhound in Tathall End.  He may be the same William Lattimer who ran the Watts Arms when it first opened in 1821 up to 1827, as a tenant of the Watts family.

John Lattimer, son of William (not Richard) became a farmer at Ivy Farm.

Benjamin Lever (1725 to 1788 - not Joseph) and Robert Allen (1787 to 1871) are recorded in the deeds as owners of what are now 9 & 11 Gold Street when they were a single dwelling which included a butchers shop.  Benjamin and Elizabeth Lever had 14 children baptised between 1747 and 1772.  In his will of 1787 Benjamin is recorded as a lace dealer.  Elizabeth lived to 1797.  Their eldest son was Joseph who was also a lace dealer.  He married Mary Crick who, as Mary Lever, is also shown as an owner in the deeds of 9 & 11 Gold Street.  Joseph and Mary had 6 children baptised between 1768 and 1781.  It seems more likely that Joseph was the member of the family who became a lunatic and bankrupt, although it was his parents who had the very large family.

For 'butcher' Allen, see Samsom's house on previous page.

In the map of 1779, William Kitelee is shown as owner of Town Yard, and in 1818 Joseph Kitelee was the owner.

Stocking Green was the last part of Hanslope to be "enclosed", in about 1804.

From 1841 to 1871 Thomas Higgins was recorded in censuses living at Stocking Green Farm.

Thomas Stonton (1743 to 1821) was living at Stocking Green at time of his death, and is recorded as a farmer in 1798.  His wife may have been Mary (1743 to 1822)
