Hi Pels.  That is absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much. I will spend the weekend going through it. However did you come across it?
Thanks again

Hi again,

I found it quite by accident, I was trying to google the following to save me typing it out.

~~~~~~~~~~

The history and antiquities of Harewood.

Extinct Villages.

In the list of villages in the Warburton Collection, Lansdowne Mss., Lofthouse is mentioned in connection with all the neighbouring villages of this name in the West Riding, Lofthouse in Harewood is meant and that it was a village about the year 1600.

There were two public houses in Lofthouse formerly, and in the old maps the locality is dotted over with cottages.

In the deed of sale when the estate was purchased from the Earl of Strafford by Sir John Cutler, I find the following tenant farmers named ; - William Hawke, Wm, Smith, John Hopwood, Ann Renton, Robert Wiggin, Peter Wright, all holding farms in Lofthouse. As in the case of Stockton, two farm houses which alone remain to show where the village stood, still retain its name.

~~~~~~~~~~

As you see, I found one - but not the other ! 

I'll post the second page on a separate reply.
