Gives you much background on the BARROW family who would probably have had title to the land you refer to.

Gives a history of Whitemead Park, and the Barrow family connection.

Does anyone have any information on Thomas Barrow. He is shown as owning a vast amount of land on a map dated 1776, which includes a house that later turned into the Fountain Inn, Parkend. The map includes Whitemead Park if that is of any help.
