aka LITTLE MEAD, NEWBRIDGE MEAD

Brook Mead was a meadow comprising approximately one and a half acres situated on the north bank of the Trulley Brook, next to Newbridge. In the Tithe Award it was measured at 1 acres 2 roods and 14 perches; in the Ordnance Survey at 2.699 acres.

The Bisley Manor court rolls record Little Mead as belonging to William Claverly (some time before to 1730). Immediately prior to 1742 it belonged to the Right Honourable Heneage Finch, 3rd Earl of Aylesford, held copyhold by the yearly rent of four pence; in that year he sold it to William Draper of Froyle in Hampshire.

In 1765, William Draper died and Little Mead passed to his daughter, Mrs. Mary Nicholas, a widow. In January 1767, Mary sold Little Mead to Thomas Loveland of Chobham.

In 1803, Thomas Loveland died. Little Mead passed to his son James. James died in 1824 and Little Mead passed to Thomas Loveland's grandson, also Thomas.

In 1852, Thomas sold Little Mead (with other lands) to Joseph Hockley of Guildford (the steward of the Manor). In 1863, Little Mead was enfranchised to Joseph Hockley and thereafter held freehold.
