The land required more than three ploughs and consisted of 20 acres (81,000 m2) of meadow. Since the marriage of the heir to the Musters' family estate (West Bridgford's former landowners) into the Chaworth family, the areas of West Bridgford and Edwalton have been conjoined, first as the West Bridgford Urban District Council, and now as part of Rushcliffe Borough Council.
