The initial research, for the book on ‘Agriculture in Shropshire’, was done by a Mr Bishton. (Plymley:intro.) He was both a landowner, owning Kilsall Hall near Tong, and also a land agent for the Sutherland Estates. Bishton in contrast to Plymley concluded that quarter of an acre was sufficient.

Noting that the Sutherland Estates were involved with the land clearances, see w:Elizabeth Leveson-Gower, Duchess of Sutherland
