Italicised items in brackets have been annotated on the document by a later hand.
* Says 'Hermit Grove', but the record refers to Armsgrove, as can be seen from other manorial records of the period. This document is the only instance of the name Hermit Grove being used, and is likely a mistake by it's writer. Examples in earlier documents: Armigroaves (1689), Armygreaves (1746).
