Identity control: Parcel A is the full 1877 house/quarrying estate, not a synonym for the farmhouse and garden alone. It includes the farmhouse/buildings; barns, stable and yard west of the house; garden; forest north of the house; and ground south-east of the house/garden later registered as VG41. Parcel B is the separate eastern agricultural fields. The title case, resting on Mary (Nancy) Williams’s c.1974 witness statement (Mary (Nancy) Williams testimony), is that the 1877 arrangement took effect in 1928 and WGR’s later possession of Parcel B did not confer rights over Parcel-A forest or green. Later “whole farm” language blurred the two parcels; it did not make them one title by itself.
| Period / instrument | Parcel A | Parcel B | Combined description | Primary proof needed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-1928 | Test | Test | Test | Estate plans, terriers, tenancies |
| 1938–39 | Test | Test | Test | Sale / revised tenancy and plan |
| 1969–72 | Root and extent unresolved from the absent 1969 deed/1971 abstract; this gap is not Parcel-A-specific | Same deed/abstract gap recited in later chain descriptions | Actual operative clauses and plans control; “whole farm” wording is not proof of extent | 1969 deed, 1971 abstract, 1975 conveyance and plans |

| 1955–62 | [SOURCE PENDING] North forest and south-east green seized; house/buildings/garden group stayed occupied | Eastern fields subject to WGR possession | “Farmhouse and garden” describes the occupied remnant, not the whole Parcel A | 1955 order/enforcement description compared with 1962 house-and-garden proceedings |
| 1989–95 | Check | Check | Development/dealings | Planning and conveyancing records |
Rule: later registration of a combined title does not by itself prove that every earlier deed, tenancy, judgment or description treated the two parcels as one legal unit.
