Things came to a head with Samuel Bush (Vicar 1743-1783). When first appointed he lodged at the present Vicarage with the then owner [John] Legas, who was at that time building the present Hill House for himself. On Legas moving to that, he let the Vicar stay on as his tenant; but they quarrelled, and Legas a few months before he died turned him out. Bush was then on bad terms with the principal land owners over tithe payments, and found much difficulty in housing himself. Indeed for some time he was refused even a sitting in the Church. W. Gurr admitted him at last to Little Pell, but they too fell out. | |||||

On his [John Legas] death the house went to a brother Paul, and then to a son John, who left all the landed property to his four sisters. They sold it, and Frances Legas bought Hill House as her share. | |||||

Under her [Frances Legas] will it was sold, and bought just 100 years ago by Thos. Wace, a London merchant of Oxfordshire origin, who left it to his nephew, the Rev. R. H. Wace. | |||||
