Mortgage in £100 by way of surrender in Ashford [in the Water] view of frankpledge and great court baron of William, Duke of Devonshire, steward Alexander Bossley, by Thomas Longsdon, younger, of Goatcliffe ? The Cliff, p. Eyam, or Goatscliff, p. Stoke, Derbyshire, tanner, of 2 closes called Finleys, 4 acres, in occupation of John Bagshaw and Charles Bolsover, to use of Thomas Bagshaw of Nether Shatton [p. Brough and Shatton] yeoman, to secure loan of £100 at 4½% interest. 26 October 1779 Note: Thomas Longsdon, junior, tanner of Goatley 1797-1812 lived at The Cliff [Eyam] in 1800. It seems probable that Goatley Brook is the present Stoke Brook. In this case Goatcliffe might be an abandoned version of the later form The Cliff. 1779
