The book Retlaw refers to is A History of the township & manor of C-le-M by Richard Trappes-Lomax 1926. There's a 1790 plan with it, and there's much to be found on it - eg the line of the road to Acc before the turnpike was constructed. Be sure to read the last chapter -= 4 pages on modern developments. The road named after the athlete Ramsbottom (?), is another thing worth listing. Clayton has 1059 acres.
