The "Tong" mentioned in the 1584 lease refers to Tong, Shropshire, not any location in Lancashire. It's a small parish on the border of Shropshire and Staffordshire—situated between Newport, Shifnal, and Brewood, near where the M54 motorway and A41 run today
en.wikipedia.org+13en.wikipedia.org+13discoveringtong.org+13.
To illustrate:
Tong, Shropshire is a village and civil parish located between the towns of Shifnal, Newport, and Brewood
en.wikipedia.org.
Historical records confirm that Tong Castle once stood there, later landscaped by Capability Brown—it was originally a medieval castle on that site
This is roughly 57 miles from Hereford.
