Pre Inclosure map of Clanfield, Bampton, Aston & Yelford
The map is pre Inclosure and covers Clanfield, Bampton, Aston and Yelford. The note with the Yelford map says it was from a map of 1624/5. A note at the right side of the page suggests all these details were pulled together from various sources in 1833 which is post Inclosure, which for the Bampton area was 1821. I can't work out what maps were used for the non-Yelford map but it says HHH is Aston 1771.

Map of Weald from Plantation south to Cowleaze Corner, east to the Elephant & Castle
This map of 1921 covers the area from Plantation south to Cowleaze Corner and east as far as the Elephant and Castle.
What was a watercourse off the Highmoor Brook to land with The Deanery can be clearly seen and was used for fish farming.
Cobb House is the only vicarage by now, the other two houses of the three-portion being in private hands, one Churchgate house the other now called Kilmore House.
Glebelands houses were not yet built, they didn't come until the 1960s.
The lake with Weald Manor House to its left used to freeze over and the owners of the Manor House used to invite locals to skate on it. Mr & Mrs Colvile lent the field to the west of the lake to the local football club but as it wasn't large enough for the side to play in a certain league, they had to find a new home and for a while used a field at the east end of New Road.
