I now realise that Chestnut Tree Farm Road Green Silver Green Hempnall was not the farm of Lawson Scarnell yeoman of Hempnall died there 1808...Lawson Scarnell left a will and his farm was to be sold...It was a freehold...Chestnut Tree Farm is a copyhold (leased) farm from the local manor and in 1615 was said to be 5 acres....Lawson Scarnell Jnr farmed Chestnut Tree Farm in the 1840s and 1850s but I have yet to identify the farm of Lawson Scarnell Snr...

I now confirm that Chestnut Tree Farm now "English Hardwoods sawmills" was the farm of Lawson Scarnell who died 1808 and whose will is on "Norfolk Sources" ....He had a son Lawson Scarnell Jnr who farmed the farm with his mother Sarah Scarnell as the owner...When she Sarah Scarnell nee Cox died in 1848 the farm was sold for £600...It was actually about six acres....Lawson Scarnell was my 4xGreat Grandfather....My 3xGreat Grandfather was Christmas Fryer born Hempnall 25th December 1794 died Norwich 2nd February 1874....He married Lucy Scarnell of Chestnut Tree Farm and he and Lucy Fryer nee Scarnell farmed 10 acres of land in the area known as Turkey Row just down the road from Chestnut Tree Farm...Lucy Fryer died about 1833-34 I think and later Christmas Fryer married Ann Rackham...In 1861 census they live at Low Street Wortwell, Harleston, Norfolk....Christmas and Lucy Fryer had a son Lawson Scarnell Fryer born in Hempnall 1824 died St Olave's Bermondsey 1892...He was a labourer....His son was William Lawson Fryer and his son was my Grandfather John Fryer....Christmas Fryer's father was William Fryer died Hempnall 1842 in a cottage opposite St Margaret's...It was a poor house....William Fryer had been a yeoman farmer and for a while farmed Road Green Farm set above Chestnut Tree Farm Hempnall...William Fryer's first wife was Mary Bowles...Her father Thomas Bowles died and passed the farm to her...Mary died and William Fryer married Bridget Beckett of Hmpnall and one of their children was Christmas Fryer...
