In 1823 a complete record of Freehold Premises is listed in the Enclosures of Princes Risborough. These are all established old enclosures.
In the early 1800's the Napoleonic Wars had bled the country dry until many of the wealthy were in dire financial difficulty. The Lord of the Manor of Princes Risborough being one. The only solution was to sell off assets.
It was a buyers' market for those people who had access for borrowing money. Two such were Lord George Henry Cavendish (G.H.Cavendish) and Sir William Lawrence Young (Wm Lawrence Young)
John Grubb Esq was the Lord of the Manor. When the enclosures became law he purchased from The Commissioners all the Parish Woodlands and a large part of The Common. These were new enclosures, but he had already owned them as Lord of the Manor.
Sarah Shard (click Charles & Sarah Shard) lived at Grymsdyke Lodge, later known as Grymsdyke. (Research note In the late 1900's, in error, named Grymsdyke Manor.by estate agents.)
