The Linley Wood Estate

As I understand it, the Linleywood estate in the late 1800s covered most of the area in the above map.  A detailed list of the estate was drawn up in 1859 on the death of James Stamford Caldwell.  A second list was made in 1913 when Maj Gen Frederick Crofton Heath-Caldwell took up residence on the estate.  Both these lists are in the Stafford Record office (4229/?).
