Notities over John BATES

John Bates seemed set to inherit the tenancy of Westbury Farm on his father's death. Certainly in Thomas' will, provision was made for this to happen......"if my son John Bates shall find himself able afterwards to hold and to pay for the stock of the farm and my landlord The Reverend Lynch Burroughs shall consent to accept him as tenant....." (extract from Thomas Bates' will, 1823). John Bates was also appointed Joint Executor. He must have been a favoured son, but we must guess that Lynch Burroughs objected to him assuming the tenancy for in 1827 we learn that Thomas Welch Bates was the tenant according to the records of the Hertford Assizes. John, nevertheless, was clearly an enterprising and respected villager. In 1814 he was recorded as being the gamekeeper in the Manor of Hurst Hall alias Hallbury and Great Offley alias Westbury. The Lord of the Manor was the Rev. Lynch Burroughs. In 1823 he was left £300 in his father's will, in addition to the other provisions made for him. In 1825 when his daughter, Harriet, was born he was recorded as a farmer and in 1827 church records show that he was a churchwarden when the church minister was Thelwell Salusbury.

In 1841 he was recorded as victualler and in 1851, the census of that year recorded him as being an innkeeper/publican. He was 65 years of age by this time. It appears that John had taken over the running of the Old Green Man Inn from his sister Mary. It would also appear that John Bates had had an earlier involvement with the tenancy of the Green Man Public House as the Poll Books for Hertfordshire for 1832 listed "John Bates - Offley 1832 - occupier of house and land residence 'Green Man' Public House". Harriet Hepworth was recorded in the 1861 census as being deaf/blind and also recorded that they lived in the public house with an unmarried daughter, also called Harriet (a dressmaker) along with 3 lodgers (a shepherd, a farm labourer and a ploughman) and a servant aged 15.

1841 aged 55, living at Offley Village with his wife Harriet 48, children Mary 15, Harriot 15, Lydia 17, also Richard Harris 20, agricultural labourer, Joseph Gough 25, agricultural labourer, John Halsey 20, agricultural labourer and Charles Dimock 16, apprentice.

1851 aged 65, living at Offley with his wife Harriet 57, daughter Harriot 25, lodgers George Adams 42 ploughman, William Chapman 45 shepherd, Samuel Bygrave 29, all born Offley, and servant (errand boy) William Russell 15 from Pauls Walden.

1861 aged 75, living at Offley Village with his wife Harriet 69, daughters Mary Ann 37, Harriet 36, unmarried sister Lydia Bates 74 and servants James Harris 16 and George Dollemore 12.

The inscription on their plain headstone reads, "In memory of John Bates who died March 14th 1869 aged 83. Also Harriet Bates, wife of above who died February 23rd 1868 aged 76 years.
