Monday 22nd September 1834



Rode to Whittonstall and proceeded to examine & value the Farms of Greymare Hill, High Field & Newlands West Farm, which I just accomplished before dark.  Slept in that neighbourhood & on



Tuesday 23rd

Sending my horse forward, began at seven o’ clock, and going through each Field, examined the Mill Farm, Newlands Haugh & Town Farms.  Whittonstall Hall Farm & a part of Lawsons Farm, when the evening coming on, so that I could not see to finish that Farm, & being tolerably weary with eleven hours of constant walking, I returned home at eight o’ clock.  That is a most unsatisfactory Estate, extending over a large surface of little value, the expense of cultivation swallowing up the produce & leaving little for Rent.  Found matter from Alston & several Letters to answer in the evening.
