Gloucester Docks. Vellum conveyance of 1855 for lands at Llanthony, Gloucester to provide a dockyard for the Gloucester and Dean Forest Railway Company with the Gloucester and Berkeley Canal, two large sheets of vellum, usual dusting on the outside, with one small area cut away (not affecting text), the second sheet bearing a coloured manuscript plan of the area of land An interesting document in the development of the commercial potential of railways at the height of 'Railway Mania' and an interesting juxtaposition of two transport cultures. The Gloucester and Dean Forest Railway was built to bring the coal and timber from the Forest of Dean down to Gloucester where it could be transported down the Gloucester and Berkeley canal (now known as the Sharpness Canal) and thence to the sea. The Canal is still in operation as one of the few truly commercial canals in the country. The railway closed, but a small section of it is still in use as a tourist attraction.

Three large scale manuscript estate plans, c. 1851-63, showing the Compton Estate, the Bromsberrow Place Estate and Bromsberrow Heath in Gloucestershire, each drawn in black ink with colour wash to fields, with extensive identification of ownerships, tenant holdings, etc., the map of Bromsberrow Heath incorporates an extensive indenture on three leaves of vellum relating to the enclosure of the common land of the Heath for private ownership, some creasing, dusting and scuffing, but in generally good legible condition, one laid on linen Of particular interest to local historians of this area of Gloucestershire, providing considerable information on land ownership in the area in the mid 19th c., plus details on the enclosure of formerly common land.

Collection of approximately 48 documents on vellum and paper, 18th-20th c., relating mainly to property transactions in the Cotswolds area of Gloucestershire, and in particular the Parish of Guiting Power, some dusting and scuffing but generally in good condition An interesting collection providing a considerable amount of local historical and genealogical information for what is now a very popular tourist area. Guiting Power is a very attractive village lying almost equidistant between Cheltenham and Stow on the Wold. (approx. 48)

Gloucestershire Militia. Manuscript summons 1p folio, August 11th 1709, requiring Anne Pauncefoot 'at Preston within the County of Gloucestershire' to appear before the Deputy Lieutenant of the County because she had failed 'to find or provide one trained Horse and horseman and Armes to serve in the Militia of the Sd County', signed by Richard Cocks and Maynard Colchester, with manuscript note to the foot stating that Anne had been required to pay for five years in lieu of providing the required man and beast, some weakness in the folds but a very attractive document. Rare. The process of providing men and horses for local fighting armies goes back to Saxon times. Before the establishment of a modern standing professional army and civilian police, law and order was maintained by the raising of local Militias which were staffed by men and horses provided by local landowners, pro rata to their land holding. In the same year as this document, Queen Anne vetoed a bill to reorganise the Scottish Militia - the very last time the Royal veto was used. (1) £50-80

Vellum recovery document of George IV for lands of the Manor of Eyford (Exford), Gloucestershire, dated Trinity Term 1822, featuring a fine portrait of George III contained within an elaborate initial "G", decorative borders featuring allegorical figures etc., remains of Royal seal contained within original metal skippet attached by original vellum tag, in good overall condition. Obviously, even two years after the death of George III, the authorities had not yet produced a flattering enough image of his debauched son. The lands involved in this document were extensive involving 35 messuages, 6 dovehouses, 120 gardens, 1,600 acres of land, 300 acres of meadows, 1,000 acres of pasture, 360 acres of woods, 500 of furze and heath, 300 of moor, 300 of marsh, 500 covered with water and common pasture. A most significant document for this area of Gloucestershire which lies just north west of the popular tourist area of Upper Slaughter.

Important and historic manuscript document on two large sheets of vellum, dated August 20th, 1666, being the will of Grimbald Pauncefoot detailing bequests to the poor in his parish of Pauntly, Gloucestershire, and bequests of his land in Gloucestershire and Worcestershire, as well as his furniture and household items written in a remarkably legible hand and in fine overall condition, together with three other 17th c. wills from other counties including one dated 1603 and one made during the Commonwealth bearing the device of Oliver Cromwell as Lord Protector. Wills from such an early period are scarce on the market - and Pauncefoot's will is particularly extensive indicating that he was an important landowner of the time. As well as his landholdings in Pauntly, he also has lands and property in Newent, Gloucestershire and Stanton in Worcestershire. As his will is dated just six years after the Restoration his landholding must have continued through the Commonwealth period - no mean achievement for the time!

Bristol. Printed broadside issued by 'the Widow Penn' bookseller in Wine Street, Bristol, February 14th, 1725, announcing the building of the new docks in Bristol and listing the new regulations, approximately 18x14ins. The broadside announces that the Mayor and Burgesses of the City have built 'two several keys or wharfs for landing of goods' the first on the River Avon at the east side of King Street and the other on the River Froom on St Augustine's Back. As a consequence of the new keys being established, the broadside also announces six new regulations for use of the rivers and the docks.

In addition to the various lands and properties on the Manor, the document grants the rights to claim the goods and chattels of outlaws - one wonders whether it still has any legal validity ! Property includes the land, messuages, common pasture, dovehouses, woods, fishing rights, mines, quarries, rights of the Manorial Court, Royalties etc. (1)

The first pamphlet deals with the murder of Sir John Dineley Goodere ' who was murdered by the contrivance of his own brother on board the Ruby man of war in King's Road, Bristol January 19th 1740-1' .

Important document on vellum dated January 24th 1455, written in an attractive chancery hand on a single leaf of vellum, in remarkably fine fresh condition, with two perfect red wax pendant seals, one armorial and the other the seal of the Mayor of Bristol. The document appoints Richard Wykes and Henry Leverygge to deliver in the name of Leonard Laury to John Newton and his wife Isabella, free possession and seisin in properties in 'Shepeham Wyntred Woodbarow Wynescombe Cheddar Banewelle Rowbarow Churche Hille Overlandgford Netherlangford Stokke Wryngton Lyghe & Strode.' Because Laury's seal is unknown to many he has procured the seal of the Mayor of Bristol to this deed, and Richard Hatter, Mayor has agreed to this special request. All the lands referred to are in the Mendips area of Somerset south of the City. Medieval documents from this period rarely survive in such fine condition

Scarce. Documents granting fishing rights on such an important stretch of the River Severn hardly if ever appear on the market. Littleton on Severn is a village just north of the modern Severn Road Bridge (first crossing), at an important point on the Oldbury sands. Fish yields at such a point in the river estuary would have been extensive.

He adjudicated on the question of property lost in the Great Fire of London in 1666 and presided at the conviction of two women for witchcraft in 1662. This document was drawn up to ensure that the manor remained without incumberance for his descendants and was produced just in time, as he died the following year.
