A farm situated in Nazing was purchased about this time by the parishioners of Cheshunt, and was valued at £15 per annum. This money, together with King James's gift, was for the poor of the parish of Cheshunt. In 1722 a piece of copyhold land, situated in Waltham Abbey, and belonging to Mr. Jones, was purchased with the money realized out of the rents of Nazing Farm. The annual value was estimated at £25. †Those marked x were jurymen.

Saluey means Viscount Doncaster, Baron of Sauley, James Hay Earl of Carlisle, whose residence was near the Abbey Church of Waltham. "New Inn Gate" probably stood on the site of the present hotel of the same name, and situate at the extreme east end of Sunstreet, Waltham Abbey.
