        Will of Edmund Maskelyne, Gentleman of Purton, Wiltshire 04 February 1632 PROB 11/161 ??

        ...Ponds Farm is built on a late medieval moated site.41 In the 18th century it was the property of the Bathe family,42 and passed by inheritance to the Maskelyne family,43 who eventually sold it in 1928. 44 In 1827 it was occupied by Joseph Large, gentleman farmer45 and in 1838 it consisted of 77 a. farmed by Thomas Large...

        The Story of Purton
        After the death of George and Jane Maskelyne, their son Edmund, who was a member of the Inner Temple and a Feodary of the Duchy of Lancaster, added largely to the land belonging to the family He was lord of the Manors of Cricklade and Chelworth and of Slaughter (Co. Gloucester), and M.P. for Cricklade in 1625. As a lawyer he was greatly interested in (1 See Chapter iv. for the list of these fields) the very early enclosure of Purton Common, agreed upon by Lord Chandos and his Purton neighbours in 1596-97. At Basset Down is preserved an Account Book dated 1638, kept by Edmund's son, Neville Maskelyne, which gives very useful information about the land and the stinting of beasts on the commons.

        Neville was also a Member of Parliament for Cricklade, and it was he who charged the Pry Pasture with 5 a year for the poor of Purton, and los. to the Minister to preach a sermon on Good Friday. He was also one of the original Trustees of the Purton Play Close, conveyed to them in 1641.
