four printed, rest manuscript, all in good condition. An interesting group of

for serving, two manuscript orders issued by the Officer Commanding and a

This is
a collection of old documents which date from the reign of Queen Elizabeth
the first.1533-1603 Through to William and Mary and so on. The documen
relating to Elizabeth the first is in reasonable order, it is an indenture
and it clearly states it was written in the seventeenth year of the reign
which would be 1575.The second document is an indenture dated the 6th year of
William and Mary which would be the year of her death 1694. Reasonable order.
The third is a conveyance document dated 1799 of a house and lands called
Daisy Bank in Warley (Essex?). Fourth is an indenture, a small one in the
first year of George the Third's reign, this has a wax seal on it.Fifth is
another indenture dated 1691, Sixth is a conveyance for number 7 Waterloo st
Plymouth, The street still exists. This is dated 1866. Seventh is a charter
dated 1657 which would be King Charles the second. Eighth is a letter in
French accompanied by an English translation. Thjis is not dated but refers
to an errant sailor who left France at the start of the French revolution so
it must be late late 18th or early 19th century. The writer is trying to get
this errant and wayward sailor arrested for desertion.Ninth is a decree from
the courts to theDuke of Leeds dated 1802. Tenth is a small page of writing
in Latin, eleventh is an indenture I can't read the date but it has top be
15th or 16th century. twelvth is another indenture dated 1679. All documents
are reasonable to good order. |

before 1714, subsequently annotated with a rough inventory of household goods
at Shalford, Essex, including 'Looking Glass, a trunk, severall Maps, 2 cain
chairs', etc., a little soiling and wear John Moore (1658-1714),
cheesemonger, was a nephew of the well-known London mayor and charitable
benefactor Sir John Moore; he lived with Sir John in his latter years, and
was left most of his uncle's estate. With these means he bought Kentwell
Hall, not many miles north of Shalford. This letter and subsequent
annotations may therefore date from the period immediately following the
death of Sir John Moore in 1702. |

maintenance, wine making and bottling port. He also held manor courts at
Theydon Bois and Romford and many local areas are mentioned including
Barking, Romford, Squirrels Heath, Rainham, Southall, Colliers Row etc. While
the vast majority of the diary refers to estate business it also records
Grafton Dare attending the Quarter Sessions in Chelmsford in 1795, attending
a Turnpike meeting in 1794 and becoming a Commissioner of Sewers in 1801 and
a Commissioner for the Land Tax at Romford. Later entries by his son in law
record on 10th November 1829 the misreported death of Sir Eliab Harvey
"a lie" and real death on 21st February 1830 (Captain of the
"Fighting Temeraire", 1758-1830), inspecting work houses,
elections, Epsom races etc. |

"THIS
INDENTURE TRIPARTITE made the six and twentieth day of May on Anno Domini
1677 and in the nine and twentieth year of the reign of our Sovereign Lord
Charles the Second, by the grace of God,of England, Scotland, France and
Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith..." This is a land indenture
between three people whose names appear to be MATTHEW BATEMAN, SAMUEL BERRY
and RICHARD BACON Gentleman of the Middle Temple of London. The name JOHN
HOSKYNS (Hoskins?)is signed at the base. It relates to land at St.Mary *****
Whitechappell (Whitechapel ?) Middlesex Essex and London. HATFIELD BROAD OAK
? and HATFIELD KINGS are also mentioned?? Very hard to read - time needs to
be spent on this document. It is very large, made of real animal hide velum,
and 326 years old. The artistry at the top left is super and is signed in the
swirls by Edw Berry. Two huge wax seals at the base. Mention is made of
stables, arable land, floodings (or shootings?), out buildings etc. The
beautiful swirl on the outside has writing beside it in Latin. It measures 2
foot 7 inches by 2 foot when unfolded. This is an old English rarity made in
the same century as Oliver Cromwells Commonwealth existed! This came with
others from the Bateman family predominantly - many over 150 years later. One
mentions the CRABS GREEN FARM at HATFIELD BROAD OAK, ESSEX, probably the same
place!! (indenture: A duplicate contract, the two halves being cut in a
zig-zag line, which was commonly employed in the early modern period..) |

James
I Writ to Sheriff of Essex - 1611/12. Writ in the name of King James I to the
Sheriff of Essex regarding a final concord concerning the Manor of Dovers
(alias Newhall) in Hornchurch, Essex. A rare early example of a writ refering
to Sir Anthony Aucher and his wife Hester.
Hester inherited half of the manor of Dovers on the death of her
father in 1607. This half was sold in
1612 to Sir Harbottle Grimston Bart.
An endorsement with his name is written on the back of the document.
The document is written in latin on vellum.
A small portion of the lower part of the last sentence is missing, but
most of the text in this last line is just readable. Also two small tears and a natural hole in
the vellum not affecting the text. 3 by 28 cm. |

Huge

nine wax seals (three different repeated twice each), hand painted ornate
title, blue William the Third paper seals with a crowned rose on each page.
This document came in an unopened bundle of indentures wrapped in old brown
paper and tied with string. The paper that wrapped them all (not included)
has the following written on it: CRABBS GREEN OLD DEEDS AD 1640/1850. I have
25 including this one - there were 26. There were paper things and letters
among them also. I have sold one from the 17th century, so this is the second
to go. I intend to list the rest in groups mostly because I find I am pulling
my hair out trying to decipher them!!! Here goes for this one: THIS INDENTURE

outhouses, buildings, floodings, meadows etc, and names include RICHARD
CRABB, JOHN REYNOLDS etc. It seems that Crabbs Green farm did perhaps get its
name from this period. 26 by 21 inches. The seals are excellent. |

1649 OLIVER CROMWELL REIGN DEED & 2 OTHERS. 1649 COUNTERPART
DEED, large size, on animal vellum. This is very interesting because it does
not bear the Royal seals that the others have since this was issued in the
period that OLIVER CROMWELL was in charge - difficult times. The other two
items are Indentures dated 1694 and 1696. All three came in a group of about
26 that I have and am selling. They were wrapped in brown paper and old
string and had the following written on the brown paper: CRABBS GREEN OLD
DEEDS AD 1640/1850. Please see the other two that I have also listed. The
1694 one is in Latin. The 1696 one is the only one with wax seals. Names
include SAM QUINTON; THREADNEEDLE STREETE; OLIVER MARTON; CHARLES LEWIS;
PETER BRIDGER; JO REYNOLDS; HENRY STAINES; THOMAS BATEMAN; MATTHEW BATEMAN;
JOHN MERICK; GEO HORTENHUTT?; WILLIAM ANOY?; THOMAS HODGKINS; ESSEX;
WHITECHAPPELL etc etc - see the others because I think they are all concerned
with the same place. Charming items. One man signs an H - THE MARK OF JOHN
HODGKINS..! I think the jist is that due to an impending marriage the
indentures were made to cover the use of or rent of the land?? I am listing
these in groups now because it would be nice that some stay together since
they all apparently relate to the same place through over 200 years - this
group are the last of the 17th century ones. |
