KELSHULL, (Hertfordshire) near Royston and Odsey-Grange, was given by the Saxon K. Ethelred to the abbey of Ely; and
afterwards bel. to its cathedral, till it was by the Bp. exchanged for certain tenths and advowsons in the gift of the
crown, in the R. of Q. Eliz. who granted it to the city of London; but the citizens sold it afterwards to Ralph Freeman of
Aspedon; from whom it came to Mr. Willimot, attorney, whose descendant conveyed it to John Pointer, late master of the
affidavit-office in Chancery, father of the present possessor, Samuel Pointer.
