The Land and People of Northamptonshire: a case study of Great Oakley

"Testamentary and other documentary material upholds the view that despite the absence of legal security of tenure, farms held at will in Great Oakley tended to remain within the occupation of a single family for several generations. Jonathon Moore, who held the 20-acre Robinson’s Close in 1759 was succeeded by his son Joseph who left his farming stock to his son Joseph when he died in 1791. In turn, Joseph’s son Jonathon took on the tenancy of a 156 acre farm, which continued to be occupied by family members until the death of an unmarried descendent in 1904. "

"Despite being almost entirely owned by a churchman landowner, there was a strong tradition of nonconformity in Great Oakley".

His son Joseph Moore and wife Elizabeth were noted in Dr Fullers records for the Baptist Chapel in Kettering as grandparents of Benjamin and Elizabeth Houghton
