Durham / Nutty Hagg
« on: Wednesday 22 April 20 07:47 BST (UK)  »
Dear Neil
I think we have corrsponded before, you are in Australia, I hope you are well.
I am descended from the Nutty Hagg Todds from I think George born 1796 son of Christopher.
My lot all went to London.
I was just interested in what Nutty Hagg looked like out of interest as it formed such an important part in our history. I suspect it was not a substantial house that did not stand the test of time nor the cost of services and modernisation. Quite often photos were taken for local interest and I wondered if any still existed, particularly as there is a picture of Seldom Seen.

I do not hink Seldom Seen still exists, I am not a local.
My interest was in farm called Nutty Hagg again now a pile of stones. It would be wonderful to find some sort of picture. It is probably half a mile south of Seldom Seen on the same old track.

Dear BG
I cannot attach my version of the plan as it is too big.
If you just google Seldom Seen Roots it comes up as a post by JenB with the link to the plan.
I am afraid I am not very computer literate, and od not know how to save and send on.

Dear BG
There is a post from JenB headed Seldom Seen Newfield dated 15 August which has an 1857 map attachement. This plan shows Seldom Seen at the top another farm south of it called Never Seen and then South again Nutty Hagg, all off a track leading North from Newfield over the old railway line. The first part of this track still exists as I found it when I found the remains of Nutty Hagg, I think the track now joins with the old railwway. All these properties have Todd connections .
Many thanks.

Dear "BG"
Thank you for the picture of Seldom Seen.
I was after any info on Nutty Hagg which is midway between Seldom Seen and Byers Green. Do you have any history photos or similar. Many thanks

Dear "BG"
Thank you for the rapid response.
Do you have any information on Nutty Hagg close to Seldom Seen and a Todd occupation till the early 19C. I think it was a copyhold tenancy from the Bishops of Durham or from a Charity which was given up.

I have been trawling the Todd family  of Nutty Hagg and other places in Byers Green being a direct descendant. I see that "Byers Green" a brother and sister local history group form the village do research and produced pictures of Seldom Seen another place with Todd connections. There is an old post.
I wonder if they or anyone else have information on Nutty Hagg, the old family now pile of stones. According to maps it would seem to have been a house/cottage with a barn or stables. It was on a small acreage so would not have been substantial. I have visited and it would seem to have been one of those properties too remote for  modern services or it was too expensive.

Very interesting and very detailed research. Puts mine to shame, roll on retirement! Certainly there was Todd property in Marlborough Road and it is  logical the Middleton's were neighbours. I did not know there was also a property in Folkestone.
I assume the Middleton's were a Devonian family and like others moved to London to take their chances.
Many thanks.

I have done some brief research.
The tree I have shows Charlotte's parents as Henry Robert Middleton and Hannah Plat with his parents as Thomas M and Anne unknown. Is their any more information on this line, where did they come from.
I need to get a copy of CWT's will which may reveal. The only pub reference  I can find, relate  to his father George's ownerships. These include the Builders Arms Russell Street Chelsea, and a Beer Shop in Masborough Street Hammersmith. But there are lots of other roads do you have a name?
