Grant of four acres of arable land with a messuage at the Kingeshome lying in a field called ‘Pademeresfeltd’ between the and of Master Roger of Syston and the land of the brethren of the Hospital of St. Bartholomew (GBR/J1/471)

The first actual recorded exchange of land in Kingsholm we have took place about 1250, when William, son of William the Parmunter (tailor) of Kingeshome, granted 4 acres of arable land and a messuage to Herbert the Mercer, burgess of Gloucester.  The land was in a field called ‘Pademeresfeltd’ and may have been in the south-west of Kingsholm as it lay next to land owned by St. Bartholomew’s Hospital.  The field may have later been known as Pedmarshfield but the name seems to have survived to be recorded in a manorial survey of 1607, when it was listed as Pedmores Field.
