The estate established by Thomas Medley at Conyboro, was formerly part of the demesne of the manor of Barcombe; the name implies that it may originally have been a rabbit warren. There was a house at Conyboro by 1643 which was probably rebuilt by Thomas Medley shortly after 1689. That house was demolished about 1816. In 1855 Sir John Dodson acquired the estate and his son John Dodson (later Baron Monk Bretton) built the present Conyboro (on a new site closer to the main road) and was resident there by 1869. Stickpits was purchased by Medley from Martha and Dorothy Goring and George Egles in 1751. Avery's Farm derived its name from the final owner of the tenement before it was bought in as part of the estate. Another cottage, associated with the halfyard tenement, was recorded in an estate survey of 1798 as Homewoods, but was lost by 1840. It stood somewhere in the vicinity of Avery's Farm, possibly either on the small enclosure identified as Harriotts Garden (TA 1288), or on the road leading to the fields in Conyboro Park (TA 1342). For the rest of the land in Barcombe owned by the Earl of Liverpool see P113/44/1, TA 1033; P113/44/2, TA 200; P113/44/3, TA 432; P113/44/4, TA 1178. |
