I agree with Graham except that the mannor may be "Clawse"

thanks everyone im having a look into some of these names will let you know if i get a hit on anything....
the will was for a guy named george and he died in lincoln but this family did huge amounts of border hopping.. yorkshire, lincs, staffs and leicester.. he also had prebenduries so to be honest it could be anywhere..
i thought i maybe saw a w in there too....
-
mannor may be "Clawse"
I too think it might be Clawse - I think the penultimate letter is 's'.

It is Cawse. The first letter is a fairly standard version of the letter C. I am not entirely happy with Newland because the first letter could be an "H"

the more i look now i only see Cawse too but i agree on the newland bit.. it seems very plausible but the first letter seems very untidy for either an N or H.. still puzzled on that one... it does look like ...land though doesnt it?

Ancestry did do a webinar on 'secretary hand' a few months back & I am sure they put the whole webinar with slides online. I cannot find how to navigate to it now.
Here is a display of letters.
I found this on g**gling - it may give some info

Yes, David's right Laura, it's Cawse - my apologies; I've had a (very) quick search for it, but
haven't turned up anything promising. Do you know the county to which all this refers ?

Yes, David's right Laura, it's Cawse
Yes, I've had another look and agree its Cawse :D

Thanks Josey thats great!! having a real good dig around for this lot now..
I think these are all areas around Lincoln . I know of a st giles street more or less next to the street where george lived on eastgate thanks so much.. the cawse farm dates are a bit late but its likely its the same farm...
