The western portion of Adresham, known afterwards as POUNTS, after being alienated to Moses Slade, was recovered by the same or another Henry Pont, from whom it passed to his son Richard, who held it in 1682 and 1688. This also came into the possession of the above-named William Thomlinson and was bequeathed in 1770 to his son John, who sold it in 1788 to John Allnutt. Eventually it was purchased by the Rev. George Henry Gwilliam, sometime rector, and then became the property of his brother the Rev. Samuel Thorn Gwilliam, the present owner.
