To my father and mother Hannah Thackwray my real estate. After their death this is to go to my brother and sister Thomas Thackwray and Hannah Thackwray. After the death of them then to the heirs of Thomas.

After the death of my father and mother I give the newly erected house built in the garden adjoining Cold Bath Lane, together with a piece of land on there northern front of this house ranging in a straight line from the NE corner to the land of John Harper which is 35 yards from N to S 35 yards 1 foot from E to W 15 yards 1 foot 7 inches and bounded East by the residue of Harper’s land, West by lands of the Vicar of Pannal.

I give to my sister and nephew a right of way up the 4 yard wide road and direct that there will always be a road up the middle of the land of that width to be used by the owners and occupiers of any part of that land.
