* In 1831 the Taxal and Shalcross estate, comprising 4,546 acres of 

 land, at a rental of ^2,33/ per annum, was offered for sale by George 

 Robins, in London. Of Shalcross Hall it is said — " This Mansion is 

 finished of Stone, and in the good olden times was the abode of the 

 respected Proprietor, it hath subsequently become the habitation of the 

 principal Farmer upon the Estate. It is of ancient date, but it will 

 survive many generations yet to come, when buildings erected during 

 what has been incorrectly styled ' the March of Improvement,' will be 

 no longer seen or heard of. A fine Avenue of Limes welcome the pass- 

 ing Traveller, and remind him of its former influence. There is a 

 Farm of 93 a. 2 r. 29 p., as will be seen more particularly described 

 presently. A considerable portion includes very excellent ^leadow an<l 

 rich Pasture Land. The Tenant, Mr. John Morton, is not only a 

 respectable, but a very responsible Tenant."
