A large amount of information regarding field names, acreage, boundaries and past and present occupants is given.

 

A very large indenture on vellum measuring 2 feet 7 inches by 2 feet 3 inches. In good condition except for a tear at one of the creases, being a little grubby with some discolouration due to age. The words are large and clear and are fairly readable although the spelling of certain words is more difficult to ascertain. There is a great deal of information about family history and details regarding extensive amounts of land, which would be of interest to genealogists and local historians alike. The manuscript also benefits from the unusual extra ornate decoration around the words This Indenture. On the side there are three blue six pence stamps with a piece of silver attached. At the base four signatures with red wax seals each showing an upside-down eagle.

 

In addition this manuscript has a further two indentures attached to it, both measuring 1 foot 6 inches by 8 inches. These two, both copies of each other, are part of a set of three that repeat some of the information in the primary indenture. Although now attached behind one another the tops of both indentures join together and are further indented on the side where the third piece would join.
