  1. The local landlord was Sir John Robinson.
    The family has been settled in the district since the year 1500. Baron Roheby was the first landlord of the district.
    They were looked upon as good landlords.
    There had been no evictions or plantings in the district.
    Baron Roheby, the first landlord got the estate through the crown.
    The landlord had special power over his tenants, they were punished for trivial acts.
    When people were drunk they were before him and when they were there he fined them a penny and when the police went he would bring them into the house and give them a glass of whiskey.
