Notes on deeds of Wrens Farm found in attic of Wrens House

A pile of old documents some in poor condition damaged by water at some stage.
Wrens House is modern but incorporates a much smaller 1930s house which was the home of the Wrens Farm manager.

In 1867 the Leigh Pemberton family, Lord Kingsdown of Torry Hill owned Wrens Farm as part of his estates.
Wrens Farm lay partly in Borden & partly in Tunstall.
In his will of 1867 Lord Kingsdown left the 120 acre farm to Rev. Wright of Frinsted in trust for his nephew Edward Leigh Pemberton & his nephew’s infant sons Robert & Wilfred. He also left them 50 acres known as Bland Land & 7 acre Tunstall meadow & 5 cottages in Bredgar & Borden in the occupation of Richard, Charles & William Goatham.

Large vellum map undated possibly 1867 Wrens Farm is coloured red & the farm buildings are clear to see behind the old house. The next house then along Sutton Baron Road was Sutton Baron. The surrounding lands belonged to Miss Hales, William Elvy, Thomas Read & William Cobb.

There is a small linen map undated probably late 19th century same area of land. Still no building between Wrens Farm House & Sutton Baron. Surrounding land owned by T. Cornwell & Lumley Webb.

There is a 1933 conveyance with map but no Wrens House (previously called Wrens Cottage) marked on it. This was perhaps the year it was built.
