Scarce vellum indenture dated November 1st, 1650, relating to the sale of the Manor, mansion house, lands and woods of 'Lugershall' (modern day Ludgershall) on the Buckinghamshire/Oxfordshire border, by William Child and his wife Elizabeth, written in a legible chancery hand, a little fading affecting a few words, and a little overall browning, but otherwise in good condition with attractive calligraphic initial letter enclosing the date. We have no records of a comparable document appearing on the market in recent years. This document contains one key insertion identifying the parties as Royalists as it refers to the payment of a sum of money for the discharging of a fine composition to Parliament for Child's 'delinquency to the Parliament or Commonwealth'. This was the term used by Parliament for Royalist estates that were generally forfeited until their owners paid a fine to the Committee for Compounding. Upon payment, the lands were usually returned. Those who refused or who were not permitted to compound had their estates remitted to the Treason Trustees. These records have largely disappeared, doubtless during the period shortly after the Restoration when Charles II reversed the process and seized estates from prominent Parliamentarians. The William Child referred to in this document could possibly be the organist and composer William Child (1606-97), organist at St George's Chapel, Windsor who was expelled from this position during the interregnum and rose to be musician to the Chapel Royal at the Restoration.

"On the morning before Edgehill (23 Oct. 1642) Sir Edmund attended the king for the last time at breakfast in a solitary little inn overlooking the field. The struggle round the standard during the battle was furious 'in the extream', according to Lloyd; 'Sir Edmund adventured with it' among the enemy in order that 'the soldiers might be engaged to follow him. He was offered his life by a throng of his enemies, if he would deliver the standard; he answered that his life was his own, but the standard was his and their sovereign's, and he would not deliver it while he lived'. The hand, faithful in death, was found still grasping the standard, but the body was never recovered." - DNB.

On offer is this very interesting and quite rare handwritten document. This is the Last Will And Testament of John Hicks a Gentleman of Plomer Hill House, Buckinghamshire, dated 1825. Consisting of 7 pages each measuring 31 inches x 26 inches and all handwritten on Velum type material. Apart from the size and content of the item There are several important points to mention. Robert Earl of Cardigan is mentioned several times as a Trustee. I believe that this Earl was the father of Lord Cardigan of the Crimea Wars and the famous Charge of the Light Brigade. There is also a Seal of the Archbishop of Canterbury and his name I`m not sure if it`s his signature. The seal can be easily read but does not show up that well on the pics. There is also a £200 stamp duty seal, this is the blue item in the pic. (In today`s terms that would probably represent about one million pound).) To the rear of the stamp there is the paper seal of King George the 4th. There is a mass of information in this document and far too much to show here.

PUTTENHAM, Richard. INDENTURE SIGNED BY RICHARD PUTTENHAM, agreeing the sale of land in Amersham, Bucks. [London], 10 December 1597. Manuscript in ink on vellum, a single membrane approx. 600 x 640mm, with fold at foot and single intact seal (of Puttenham); the signature bold and clear in the centre of the bottom fold across the seal tag; also witnessed by Richard Gosnold, ffraunce[s?] Randall, and with the mark of [Ralph?] Cheseman; a little worn at folds, else in excellent condition. A fine document signed by Richard Puttenham, possible author of The Arte of English Poetry. The book's authorship has always been subject to some uncertainty, but the two Puttenham brothers, Richard and George, have long been the most important candidates. The biography of both is rather confused, a state of affairs that has done something to hinder a definite attribution of the important book which either of them may have written. This present document, which concerns the sale of land in December 1597, may help to clear up some confusion about the various documents signed by Richard Puttenham, and the date of his death. Richard was born in about 1520 and in 1546 was named as principal heir of his uncle, Sir Thomas Elyot (whose sister Margery was Richard's mother). He married Mary, daughter of Sir William Warham and the couple had just one child, a daughter, Anne. We know that Richard travelled abroad between 1560 and 1578, returning only briefly in 1567. He seems to have had an unhappy marriage and was litigious by nature, becoming involved in a lawsuit against his son-in-law; in 1583-7 he was a prisoner in the King's Bench, presumably for debt, and possibly again in October 1597, when the will of a prisoner of that name (again in the King's Bench) was drawn up. One might assume that Richard Puttenham had died in 1597, but the estate of a Richard Puttenham who was Yeoman of the Queen's Guard (and described as of Amersham, Bucks) was administered in July 1601. It seems probable that this is the same man - both men had wives named Mary, and George's brother certainly inherited the ancestral estates, which are only a dozen miles from Amersham. What is certain is that the present document relates to the man who died in 1601: although he is here described as 'of Harlington in the county of Middlesex', the deed relates to the sale of land in 'Agmondesham' (the old name for Amersham), and one must assume that he had extensive property interests there. It is also possible to argue that the prisoner of 1597 might well have been selling land a couple of months later, in an effort to clear debts. It is evident from this document that the property (known as the Warren, in Woodrow within Amersham) had only been his since 23 March 1595, when he bought it from Henry Fleetwood: perhaps Richard Puttenham had been speculating, and had bought more property than he could afford or resell? The sale is to Edward Fisher, yeoman, and this document, signed as principal only by Puttenham himself, is presumably the half of the indenture which Fisher kept. The seal is intact and aside from a little wear, the document is in fine condition. For the biography of Richard Puttenham, see Sidney Lee's article in DNB; also H.H.S. Croft's edition of Elyot's The Governour (1883), I pp. clxxxi-clxxxix; and the editions of The Arte of English Poesie by Edward Arber (1895, esp. p. 15) and Willcock and Walker (1936, esp. pp. xvi-xviii).

"A Bill of 200 P sterling bearing date the 9th of August 1644. drawn on me John Answorth at 40s 3d payable to Ralfe Perrot or his Assigns the some of 400l and 2 pound 10s ?flemish." Heads of the legal part include: "Cooke Inquisiones"; "Journal by Coppy of Court Roll"; "Copyhold"; "out of a discourse uppon the Commission of Bridewell"; "Tenures", copyhold, "Copyholders belonging to the Mannor of Amersham taken from Walter Tredway … Baly to the Earle of Bedford". If John Answorth was the compiler of these notes and accounts he was clearly a wealthy individual, probably a London merchant with a business connection to the Earl of Bedford and through him with Sir Walter Tredway and "the mannor of Amersham". Answorth also lists land owned at Wapping, Harmondsworth and property in the City, "ffleet streete house" and "ffeterlane". One of the first entries is an account of an unlooked for honour: "May 1st 1631 I was summoned by a warrant to appear at the Coiunsaile board to compound for the order of Knighthood. I deferred apearing as long as possibly I could without running into a contemt. When I appeared my answer nay I had no land till two years after the Kings Coronation [Charles I] and was then the kings ward for were I payed a greate somme. Uppon this answer they turned me over to into the Exchequer whereof I should be returned by the sherife … . It is best to temporize and deferre a busines of this nature as long as without danger … ". In the early years of the reign of Charles I Commissions for Compounding for not taking a knighthood at the Coronation of the king was a lucrative source of revenue for the government. By 1635 the money raised from such fines amounted to #173,537. An early investor in the East India Company he lent #1300 at 6 per cent in 1637. Other debts owed or owing and people with which he has business dealings include "Brother ffrancis", Lord Maltravers ["11th of februar 1636 hath in all to dispose for my use" #600], Earl of Bedford (Francis Russell, fourth Earl, 1593-1641) [as of 26th May 1637 Answorth owed Bedford #3800], Sir Edward Savage, "Mr Shalcross", Walter Tredway, Alderman Some, "Customers Sir Abraham Dawes and Sir John Jacob". For the month of February 1636 Answorth was owed by "Gentlemen and others" #7300.
