The mapping of the area starts late in the 18th Century, with one of the first being Yeakall and Gardner, 1778-83. This map shows the existence of several buildings at Ockley Farm, to form the initial farmstead - main house, dovecote, barn and granary at least.

1808-1813 Estate Map prepared for John Wood

The field shapes (though more intricate at the time) are very similar to the modern day field shapes. Note the main Ockley farm house (now Ockley Manor) sits at the high point of the land, in the bottom corner, to look out Westwards and North-Westwards across the fields that provided the significant income to the Estate.

Showing a more detailed view of the Hamlet. In addition to the main house (and outbuildings shown in some detail), dovecote, barn, courtyard group, cowshed and the farm cottages, we have Barn Cottage (like the farm cottages built by Mr Wood) and the Garden cottages. The farm fields retain similar shapes, though by now some of the smaller fields are combined to larger.
