Formerly called Little Sandhills acquired the name of Claypits from a large claypit in the waste near the house - now enclosed. The quitrent on Claypits was 10s - an early enclosure of 3p from the waste on which a cartlodge was built was charged with a rent of 1d and the rent of 10s1d has been paid since that time. There does not appear to have been any quitrent assessed upon the portion of the waste to which mr Anderson was admitted in 1810
