This photo shows Elizabeth Clayton (nee Yarranton)seated with her youngest daughter Elizabeth Clayton (later Davies) and grandaughter Emily Jenny Clayton (later Kinnersley). Pepperplock, Portway, Burghill, Herefordshire was owned by William Hancon 1759 - 1821. In his will made in 1821 William describes it as "all the messuage or tenement I now live in at the Portway in the parish of Burghill and county of Hereford with the house, garden and two orchards there unto belonging" . He left it to his wife Ursula (nee Daw) for her life and after her death to his son Samuel Hancon. All William and Ursula's children, except for their first, Sarah, were baptised at Burghill Church and we can assume that most if them were born in Pepperplock. Samuel in his 1867 will left the house to his nephew William Clayton and his wife Elizabeth (nee Yarranton) who were occupiers of the house at that time. William Clayton was the son of Elizabeth Clayton (nee Hancon), Samuel's sister. The house passed down through the Clayton family until it was sold and demolished in 1925. A bungalow was built on the site and is called Pepperplock and it is assumed that this was the original name for the old thatched cottage.
