1766 & all that.......

While searching for the STONE family of Northolt on ancestry.com. I came across this document dated 15th October 1766.
‘At a meeting of this Minister. Church Wardens and Principal Inhabitants of the Parish of Northall, it was unanimously agreed that the fences ????? to custom immemorial. Viz: The North and East ??? belong solely to Robert Child Esq of Osterley to repair as Landlord of the Court House, Lord of the Manor Etc.’
Leets...... 2.3.4.5.6.7. Downe Barnes - the widow Stone, tenant. 
It goes on to mention Robert Stone of West End, tenant a few times.
Down Barnes, Northolt was where my grandfather was born in 1865. The widow Stone would have been his great, great grandmother!

I'm imagining your excitement at finding this document. And the headache after squinting through the crabbed writing. It's remarkably clear if difficult to read.
