Leir Ancestry of the 18th century

My father wrote a document: Leir Diaries 1761-1819 Transcribed, with introduction, by Gilbert Jekyll Williams-Leir

An excerpt from the introduction to the above diary:

Before my beloved aunt Norah died in 1974, she passed on to me an ancient book, covered in brown suede leather, which contained certain records left by an ancestor at Weston House, near Bath, in Somerset (now Avon), England. In my retirement I have had time to examine what I will call the Diary of Thomas Leir V. This I would like to share with those of his numerous descendants who are interested in the family’s history. In preparing this version for circulation, believing that some matters in the text will not be clear to twenty-first century readers unless they are uncommonly familiar with English history of the early nineteenth century, I have added some explanatory notes in italics. I have made no change in the text itself.

Jaggards house.

"House belonged to a holding referred to in 1340, held by Kington family c1560-1766, passed to J. Shore, Leir family and in 1866 to J.B.Fuller of Neston Park"
