Plan of the Estate lying in the Parish of Bledington in the County of Gloucester, the Property of John Jefferis Hooper Esq.,'. A manuscript estate survey of land around the village of Bledington, Gloucestershire, Cotswolds, drawn c. 1810 for John Jeffries Hooper (c1782–1845), a prosperous merchant and partner in Gunter & Hooper, suppliers of fine wines and provisions to Calcutta during the East India Company era (later Gunter, Greenaway & Co.). Hooper returned to England and invested colonial profits in land, commissioning surveys of this type for estate management and improvement. A memorial tablet in nearby St. David's Church, Moreton-in-Marsh, records his charitable endowment to the parish poor. Attractive working survey with numbered fields and acreage table. The location of the map is clearly identifiable from the course of Westcote Brook, which runs across the bottom of the plan and which remains unaltered today. St. Leonard's 12th century Grade 1 listed church is marked in the plan. The buildings marked today all lie within the postcode OX7 6XG, on Church Street, Bledington, near Stow-on-the-Wold and Kingham . John Hiath [likely a corruption of Heath] for John Jefferis Hooper.
