7	1623	Dominic Winter 8 Mar 2001	482	Royal Letters Patent in latin of James I, on vellum, granting Manors in Herefordshire, 1623, featuring pen and plumbago portrait of the King holding an orb and sceptre, within an elaborate inital 'J' and extensive elaborate pen and plumbago decoration to top margin, lacking seal. Two separate pieces of vellum, 21x29ins and 10x29ins respectively, both affected by staining and some cockling in places, but the document remains entirely legible throughout and the vellum remains strong and sound, with full translation. Rare. This is a highly unusual patent in that it divides up the manors on the one hand into copyhold and leasehold land and on the other the demesnes with the manor houses and the manorial rights. The manors in question lie to the north and west of Leominster, and the two families involved in this settlement are the Crofts (of Croft Castle, now a National Trust Property lying betwen Leominster and Ludlow) and the Harleys of Brampton Bryan and Wigmore Castle. All of the villages mentioned on this document are surviving communities today, including Leinthall Earles, Yarpole, Luston, Kingsland, Orleton and Aston.
