A pair
of vellum Indentures being a Lease dated 13 September 1836 and a Conveyance
dated 14 September 1837 (the following day) both William LOWNDES Esquire to
Thomas HULME The Lease is made for a year for the rent of one peppercorn and
is made so that the purchaser of the property, Thomas Hulme will be in the
actual possession of the property on the following day and so the Conveyance
of the property can be made under what is termed "the Statute made for
transferring uses into possession" This is a particularly nice item as
often the documents have become separated over the years and it is not that
common for the two documents to have survived together for such a long time.
The property concerned is land at Kent Green in Odd Rode, in the parish of
Astbury, Cheshire. Both are single
sheet Indentures. The Lease measures
71cm x 59 cm and the Conveyance 79 cm x 65 cm Lease signed by: William

I don't
think that this is paper so could be vellum as it it quite thick and does not
show any watermarks. It is 18.5 inches
across and 10.5 inches high and the bottom 1.5 inches has been folded over to
enable a course ribbon to be threaded through which is then secured with a
wax seal to the centre of the fold.
There are also two co-joined "VI PENCE" embossed stamps in
blue affixed to the left hand margin, the reverse of this strip has a lead
strip threaded through it that goes through to the other side, this is then
covered with the printed seal as show at the bottom of the page. I think
it says "This indenture made the fourteenth day of April in the twelfth
year of the Reign of our Sovereigne Lady Anne by the grace of God of Great
Britain and Ireland Queen Defender of the faith Anno Domini 1713 Between
William Davenport the elder of Nantwich

lease for six months on a property as on the reverse it does mention
"Lease for 6 Months..." |

BEING THE ASSIGNMENT OF LAND AND HEREDITAMENTS IN THE TOWNSHIP OF HARTFORD IN
THE COUNTY OF CHESTER . BETWEEN JOHN BENBOW OF HARTFORD IN THE COUNTY OF
CHESTER OF THE PART AND THE CHESHIRE LINES COMMITTEE OF THE OTHER PART. WITH
REFERENCE TO THE WEST CHESHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY , THE GREAT NORTHERN, THE
MANCHESTER SHEFFIELD AND LINCOLNSHIRE AND THE MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANIES The
joint committee was formed in 1865 taking control of the existing Stockport
& Woodley Junction Railway, the Cheshire Midland Railway, the Stockport
Timperley and Altrincham Junction Railway and the West Cheshire Railway. Each
of the three large companies held a one third share in the resulting joint operation.
The Cheshire Lines Transfer Act of 1865 established the company and gave it
the powers to build a new line to Liverpool, eventually linking Manchester
Central Station with Liverpool Central Station (where the company offices
were located) with a line passing through Glazebrook and Warrington. The CLC
operated into Liverpool docks, initially to Garston and Brunswick, later
building a new line to the north of the city to connect with a new freight
terminal at Huskisson (the Liverpool North Extension Lines). A branch was
taken from Halewood to Southport and from Glazebrook they built a line to
Stockport & Godley Junction on the Great Central Manchester-Sheffield
line.. IN VERY

This
document is an Exchequer Order from 1683 (reign of Charles II) and is rare in
that it is handwritten in English ( earlier examples were written entirely in
Latin and most 18th century examples were partly printed). The Lower Court of
Exchequer or Exchequer of Receipt was set up in medieval times to record the
collection of the Kings taxes and distribute money under Acts of Parliament
or under the Great Seal or Letters of Privy Seal. It was eventually abolished
in the 19th century . This
particular order reads : Bishop
of Chester for the Kings Preachery in Lancashire Order is taken this 9th day
of November 1683. By virtue of his M(ajest)ys l(ette)res of Privy Seale dated
the 6th day of December 1675.That you deliver & pay of such his
M(ajest)ys Treasure as remains in your charge unto the right Reverend Father
in God John Lord Bishop of Chester or his assignes the sume of foure hundreds
pounds Upon the sum of £200 per Annum for the use of such foure preachery as
shalbe nominated by the said bishop of Chester for the time being comonly
called the Kings Preachery that is to say £50 per Annum to each of them. And
is for twoe yeares of the said allowance ending at Lady Day 1682. And there
together with his Lopps [Letters of Privy Seale ? ] or his assignees Acquittance

is written in various other hands: Sir Tho

: Recordatur XXIX o [29th] die Novemb(er) 1683 1111c£ [shorthand for £400]: Vernon On
reverse is a receipt for the money signed by Henry Dove. Possibly Henry Dove
DD (1640-1695) Archdeacon and Court Chaplain who would act as the Bishop of
Chester’s ‘assigne’ The
right hand margin of the Order is trimmed with missing signatures( see
below). Top and bottom of Order is worn with small tears. Otherwise condition
is good with light toning in places ( exaggerated on scans) Laid paper has
watermark. This is an order to the Exchequer to pay the Bishop a long overdue amount originally authorised by Letters of Privy Seal. Having probably been signed by The Lords of the Treasury the Order would be pa |
