Littledales lived at number 4 for example, but owned plots and houses on the South and North of the Square as well. So you can't assume a land lease related to the occupant. A further difficulty comes in the lessees themselves.
Got a bit distracted there, almost started writing the book. My point is, the leaseholders of the Square were in main the elite landholders. But when you read of the plots of land held by the Earles or the Littledales for example, they were frequently different plots to those the leasholders lived in themselves.
