<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks Anne, <br />
here's a link <a href="http://www.glos1909survey.org.uk/index.html">http://www.glos1909survey.org.uk/index.html</a></p>
<p>Searching for Clark gives several results across the County, including these wrt Woolastone and &quot;Brookend&quot; and &quot;Tan&quot;. There may well be more under &quot;Clarke&quot;, or in other areas eg Lydney, hopefully John you'll recognise the relevant names.<br />
It seems that searches can only be for a surname OR a placename, but not both together, so please check for more relevant results, eg by text search. It does not give results for Chepstow, perhaps they are available elsewhere on a Monmouthshire based site ?.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is further reference to Tan House as follows:<br />
<a href="http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/glos/vol10/pp102-106">http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/glos/vol10/pp102-106</a></p>
<p> &quot;Tan House was built in the late 17th century and Brookend House, formerly the Woolaston Inn, bears the initials 'IMW 1713' on the gate-posts, which almost certainly stand for James and Mary Woodroffe (both d. 1728). (fn. 38)&quot;</p>

<p>“At Brookend a house known as Tan House in 1771 (fn. 135) was bought from the Hammond family by John Barrow in 1806 and converted between 1808 and 1833 by William Packer into a house with leather-room and drying loft. It was sold in 1849 to Francis Clark, a Chepstow currier, (fn. 136) whose business there was recorded up to 1876. (fn. 137) The tannery closed c. 1925 but some of the buildings remain.”</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the past (late 1800s and the first half of the 1900s) my family CLARK owned a number of plots of land and cottages in the Woolaston and Chepstow areas. Are there any official records which would show changes in land and property ownership? John Clark</p>
