Transcript Notes  
BAPTIST CHAPEL – built by Mrs Hindes (her husband hated …dissenter(?))   Before this Baptists had a place between Fitch’s shop and Methodist Chapel. Fanny Lane married Joseph Hindes in 1768.  He died in 1806, and she died in 1811.  The Gold Street Gospel Hall has a plaque saying it was built in 1809.Fitch’s shop is probably 16 High Street, so the Baptists must have met in what is now (2011) a Chinese take-away.  Joseph owned both in 1779.
METHODIST’S CHAPEL – Joseph Gregory gave the site of the present chapel. Methodist Chapel is in High Street. Joseph Gregory was a grocer who owned the shop just to the south of the chapel.
SAWBRIDGE’S HOUSE – Plowman a Gardiner, his garden was the long slip of land upon the yard. The poor had to buy garden produce – there were then no poor lots.  After him Jas Manning – butcher.  Sawbridges relations were keepers in the salcey forest. This paragraph refers to what is still a butchers shop. Meshack Plowman was a tenant in 1779.

William Sawbridge was a butcher here in 1861 and 1871.
RAINBOWS HOUSE – John Mills a lace pillow maker for long time occupant – drunken. Thomas Rainbow is thought to have been in Cairn Cottage in 1871 census.  John Mills was a tenant in a survey of 1818, and recorded as a pillow maker in 1798 Posse Comitatus.
Mr Jos HUTCHINS PROPERTY  Mr Thomas Kitelee lace dealer and family owned it with the Closes and

Thos  )
(Miss Kitelees’) John  )> Kitelee
Richard (weak)  )

The father of whom was Thomas Kitelee a wealthy man – Mr Owens and Mr Higgins farms belonged to Thomas Kitelee.  Joseph Kitelee (a rogue) bought this of Thomas – Joseph was grandfather to Mrs Trower

 This is probably referring to the properties in Caucutts Yard.  George Hutchings is recorded as owner in 1910. In a survey of 1818, Thomas Kitelee (1758 to 1835) is shown as owner when the property is described as “House and Homestead”, and also included two adjoining closes.  His father William is shown as owner of the property in 1779.  Thomas had a son Thomas (b.1802).

The first Thomas had a brother John who had three daughters (the “Miss Kitelees”) – see Crick house on page 1.   There is no record of a Richard Kitelee in Hanslope records, but there was a Richard Kitelee (1780 to 1834) in Castlethorpe from another branch of the family (see church records and wills).

Mr Higgins is probably Thomas Higgins who farmed at Stocking Green.  There are no references to Owens in Hanslope records.

Joseph Kitelee is shown as owner of Caucutts Yard in a map of 1828.  There are no records of Mrs Trower in Hanslope.
SANSOM’S HOUSE -Joseph Allen lived here he was son of butcher Allen (a noted boxer who kept “The Globe” in Long Street)   Butcher Allens wife was sister to Mrs John Kitelee and to Mrs Manning butcher. Joseph was Plumber and Glazier with Brittan and Tomkins succeeded him who went to Australia. John Sansom seems to have been living at 33 or 35 Gold Street in 1861.Joseph Allen (1776/8 to 1841) was son of William Allen (1749 to 1818).  Both ran The Globe.

William Allen married Ann Brittan whose sister Charlotte married John Kitelee, and sister Lucy married John Manning.

Joseph Allen married Mary Billings in 1803.  Her brother, Thomas ran the Green Man.

Joseph Brittan (buried 1800) was a plumber and glazier, and in his will he left his shop, stock and tools to Joseph Allen.

Not able to interpret reference to Tomkins, or understand who went to Australia.
HAIN’S HOUSE -small – now improved. William Haynes is believed to have been living at 31 Gold Street in 1871.
WHITBREADS – Wm Calvert (alias Garlick) a woodman lived. The Whitbread family owned 29 Gold Street for many years. William Garlick Calvert is recorded as buried in 1798.
GOODMAN’S HOUSE – The Goodman family have for generations occupied it as Bakery.  His grandmother attempted to hang herself up the chimney. In 1871 Henry Goodman was living in Gold Street in house now replaced by Peach View.  He is recorded as a baker in censuses, as is his father William, and grandfather John who is recorded as owner of this house in 1818.  John’s wife was Elizabeth, ne Squinie from Towcester, and is probably the grandmother referred to.
BULL INN – Dr Cook (unsteady) Surgeon occupied it  Then Dawson came and Cook left.  After Cook left it Mayhew converted it into an inn – The Bull Inn used to be where Mr Pages shop is kept by Grammar! and he kept the school in the Vestry No reference can be found for a Cook who was a doctor or surgeon. Henry Dawson is recorded as an apothecary in 1798, and purchased New Inn, 14 High Street in 1805, and sold it 1807.

Joseph Mayhew (1766 to 1855) held a licence for the Bull Inn from 1800 to 1817, and in a map of 1818 he is shown as owner of a public house and homestead.  No one seems to have held the license after that date, at least until 1827 after which license records have been lost.

In a map of 1779 The Bull Inn is shown as at 13 & 15 Gold Street.  Thomas Grammer held the licence for the Black Bull from 1776 to 1790, after which his wife held the licence for another 3 years.

In 1861 John Page‘s wife Elizabeth had a shop in Back Street, probably at no.15.
