Yes, I wondered about that too. But even then, it doesn't make a lot of sense. What I had as acreage is probably vicarage, as suggested by Jenny, but what puzzles me is the way the sentence then goes on about a chest that is bound with iron. Yet the other sentences in the will are pretty straight forward. It's a very odd one.


In a way the sentence is not to difficult, Adam gets three "things". Two pieces of land and a chest. The remainder goes to William's wife. Only the wording used to describe the second acre of land is hard to understand, but maybe can be found on a detailed map of the area?

Seems a house called "Woorple" or a vicar living in that house having "Woorple" as surname. Hopefully someone can enlighten on this.
