HORMEAD-GREAT, (Hertfordshire) 1 m. and half E. from Layston Ch. has its name from its mead, and the brook which feeds the
r. Quin. This manor came to John Turner in 1696, by the death of his father, Barnard Turner, of London, goldsmith, who
purchased it of Thornton Cage; and it is now descended to Anthony, son of the said John Turner.
