  • Notes 

    • RICHARD MILES 1732-1781

      Richard MILES was baptised at Aldershot, Hampshire, on 1 March 1731/32.

      "Early owners of Brookfield House were the Milward family. John Milward, wheelwright, is listed in the Hearth Tax of 1665 as having two hearths and an inventory of the contents shows his house consisted of a chamber over the hall, a milkhouse, a buttery and a second hall, which may indicate the plan of Brookfield House at this time. Between 1758 and 1838 the property was owned by the Miles family and it is thought that the date 1760 inscribed in black brick headers on the front elevation of the house commemorated the marriage between Richard Miles and Elizabeth Cordery at St Peter's Church Yateley."
      (English Heritage: List Entry No. 1405941 Brookfield House, Yateley)

      "Going further back in time, from 1719 to 1834, the house belonged to wheelwrights called Millard and then their kinsmen, Richard and James MILES. There were Millards in Yateley in the 16th century and the inventory for a house belonging to Robert Milward in 1581 includes a brewing tub and a malt quern and John Millard in 1641 left a malt quern to his son, but as yet we do not know if they lived here.
      (Brookfield House by Norma Dowling, May 1997)

      Richard MILES carpenter and Elizabeth CORDEROY [sic] were married by licence at Yateley, Hampshire, on 17 January 1760.
      (Phillimore's Hampshire Marriages)

      He was buried at Yateley, Hampshire, on 9 December 1781. He left a will.
