Thomas Baskerville had no children, so the Clyro Court estates were devolved upon this Thomas who assumed the name of Thomas Mynors Baskerville in 1818.

He married Ann Hancock of Marlborough, but had no issue from her.

The image below is based on the tithe map for the parish of Llowes. It shows the area around the village itself and gives us an impression of the community in the first years of Queen Victoria's reign.


TITHE MAPS
In Victorian times almost everyone had to pay tithes to the Church of England. At the beginning of the reign the tithe became a tax on your property.
The maps were drawn to see what property everybody had.


The road running bottom left to top right is the road to England along the Radnorshire side of the Wye valley.
The land you can see here is the richer land of the valley floor. The lanes going off to the top and left of the map are the roads to the
upland areas of the parish.
The Radnor Arms has been an important wayside inn for a long time. In the days when travel was horse-drawn, inns provided food and
accommodation for travellers. At this time the landlord of the Radnor Arms was Thomas Pritchard.
At this time the biggest landowner in the parish was Thomas Mynors Baskerville of Clyro Court.
Llowes Court belonged to Walter De Winton of Maesllwch, another important landowner in the area, and was occupied by his tenant Evan Williams.
At this time there were many tradesmen in the parish, including:
3 shoemakers, 3 masons, 6 sawyers, 3 carpenters, 7 wheelwrights, a tailor, a miller, a schoolmaster and a lath cleaver!
The last was a Thomas Jones and his job was to split wood into long thin, flat pieces.
These were used in building timbered cottages. They could be woven across the gaps in a timber frame and then plastered over.

Baskerville Hall was built in 1839 by Thomas Baskerville for his second wife, Elizabeth, as a party house. It is set in over 100 acres of the Wye Valley at the edge of the Brecon Beacon's National Park. Still under private ownership, the Baskerville Tradition continues to this day, offering a range of outdoor pursuits attracting parties of people from all across the UK. The Hall provides unique facilities for clubs, societies, car launches, car rallies, private parties, weddings and functions, managerial and outward bound courses.


This entry from the Order Book for October 1877 shows that a woman was accused of stealing chickens, and it reads:
"A Bill of Indictment was prepared and found against Sarah Morris for stealing on the 29th day of May 1877 seven domestic fowls and five domestic chickens the property of Thomas Baskerville Mynors. The said Sarah Morris was put upon her trial and was found Not Guilty."
Thomas Baskerville Mynors was the 'Squire' of Clyro Court, a Justice of the Peace, and the MP for Hereford, so he was a very prominent person in the district.

Served as High Sherrif for Wiltshire in 1827, prior to that he was MP for Herefordshire.
