Biography
Thomas Scott was admitted as heir of father John Scott to 2 stalls in Watton marketplace on 24 April 1617.[1]
Thomas Scott of Ovington, butcher, was admitted to three butchers stalls in Watton market place on surrender of Christopher Heye and Mary his wife on 26 October 1620.[1]
Thomas Scott was named in the christening of his son, John Scot, who was christened in Fincham in 1626.[2]
In 1632, the manor of Fincham - along with numerous others - was owned by the non-resident Sir Ralph Hare of Stow Bardolph.[3] Sir Hare leased the hall to "Thomas Scott of Fincham, yeoman" in 1635 for £145 for 10 years.[4] The Hall had previously been leased to John Page of Fincham, yeoman.[5]
The Hare records in 1636 include an account of Thomas Scott, "collector of rents" for the manors of Fincham, Fincham Hall, Banyards Hall, Grand Courts, Littlewell hall and Combes - all manors within the parish of Fincham.[6]
