Laysters (St. Andrew)

LAYSTERS (St. Andrew), a parish, in the union of Leominster, hundred of Wolphy, county of Hereford, 4 miles (S. S. W.) from Tenbury; containing 226 inhabitants. The parish is bounded on the east by a part of Worcestershire, and intersected by the road from Tenbury to Leominster; and comprises by measurement 1977 acres. Its soil is generally a moderately tenacious clay, resting on a bed of coarse limestone; the surface is finely undulated, and the surrounding scenery diversified. The grain produced is of excellent quality, and the breed of cattle in much repute. The living is a perpetual curacy; net income, £335; patron, the Rev. Thomas Elton Miller; impropriator and incumbent, the Rev. J. K. Miller. An ancient ecclesiastical establishment here was connected with the priory of Sheen, in Surrey; and there are still some vestiges of the buildings, on a farm called the Cinders, partially surrounded by a moat.

Bockleton was purchased in 1779 by Thomas Elton. (fn. 43) Thomas was still in possession in 1789, (fn. 44) and devised the manor between 1824 and 1827 to his nephew, the Rev. Thomas Elton Miller. (fn. 45) In the spring of 1866 the manor was sold by the trustees of the Rev. John Joseph Miller to Mrs. Prescott, widow of William George Prescott, banker,
