| Little Pell - 67 acres - (also called Le Holes) was held [c 1650] by Thomas Saunders, younger brother of John Saunders of Great Pell. This branch intermarried with the Woods of Gatehouse and the Puxtys of Riseden. The last heiress married a Legas, and the property soon after passed by sale also into the Whiligh Estate. | |||||

| Things came to a head with Samuel Bush (Vicar 1743-1783). When first appointed he lodged at the present Vicarage with the then owner [John] Legas, who was at that time building the present Hill House for himself. On Legas moving to that, he let the Vicar stay on as his tenant; but they quarrelled, and Legas a few months before he died turned him out. Bush was then on bad terms with the principal land owners over tithe payments, and found much difficulty in housing himself. Indeed for some time he was refused even a sitting in the Church. W. Gurr admitted him at last to Little Pell, but they too fell out. | |||||
