Research - 1700s

I am looking for information about Sarnesfield in the 1700s and about the court house. Also, as I live in Canada and do not know much about the British law system, I would need to know how the courts operated in those years. What I need to know is about the size of the town, prominent citizens, marketplace and anything else you could tell me about Sarnesfield. Or where I could obtain this information.

This is for a story I am writing and Sarnesfield is the place the characters in my story lived in the 1700s.

Thank you for any help you can give me.

Mrs Price's tuck shop

I lived at Lucton in the late 1960s and remember buying sweets from the shop.
I vaguely remember a young girl staying there who we played with in the meadow. The Buttons Sandra mentions are probably the BUFTONS.

Ye Old Tuck Shop and Mrs Price

My grandmother was Ann Elizabeth Price and lived in a beautiful house. She ran a little shop in the house and it was called YE OLD TUCK SHOPE. It is the most beautiful little village I have every seen. I remember the people around, how kind and friendly the were. The buttons and the Davies and old Fred. I remember playing in the meadow and paddling in the brook, and fetching water from the spring. I had a fabulous childhood and came over every year from Ireland with my mum and brother and sisters. I would love if someone from those times 62 - late 70's would get in touch if they have any memories.

Extracts From Pembridge & Herefordshire books

Pembridge, Red Lion Corner c1965

The Red Lion is the building on the right. Like so many other local timber buildings, it now has a brick façade. The survival of so many timber buildings is a reminder that by the 17th and 18th centuries, the village’s fortunes had declined. Elsewhere people paid to follow fashion and cover their houses with bricks; here that was a luxury few could afford.

Pembridge, c1955

This view looks into the village as you would see it if you were approaching from Kington. The building on the left is the appropriately named Westend Cottage which was built in the 17th century.

Pembridge, the New Inn and the Market Hall c1955

The delightful little market shelter in the foreground dates from the 16th century. Legend has it that there was once an upper floor that was used as a lock-up for local miscreants, but this is generally thought to be unlikely.
