Turnpike Road. Extensive archive of documents and ephemera relating to the Ledbury Turnpike Road, Herefordshire, comprising tradesmans bills, for raising stone for the road, its repair and maintenance, Bills to Parliament concerning the road, notices to gatekeepers, rates of tolls, balance sheets, letters and notices from and to the Trustees, a map of part of the route, printed Acts of Parliament, printed auction advertisements for the sale of the various goods and chattels of the road in 1871 and many many more, all cont. in a metal trunk One of the most important and comprehensive archives for a turnpike road to be offered in recent years. These unique papers and documents provide the entire history of the road, from its concept in 1784 to 1871 when the toll houses were demolished and the toll gates, posts and rails were sold as this, along with all turnpikes, were overtaken by a national road concept maintained at taxpayers expense rather than by tolls. The Ledbury Turnpike continues to survive as an identifiable route . It is now the A438 from Hereford, through Ledbury to its junction with the present day A38 at Tewkesbury.

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.

1852 VELLUM DECLARATION of identity by HEMMINGS of LUDLOW with schedule and PLAN. This lot consists of 2 items. The first is a vellum "Declaration of Identity" by Richard Hemmings who states his knowledge of the property described in 2 schedules on the vellum sheet. It is dated 10th June 1852. The second is a plan, slightly smaller than the vellum, drawn in great detail on thinnish special paper of all the property described in the schedules. The property concerned is Showers Farm in the parish of Kingsland, Hereford. Some of the references in the plan are very interesting. There are at least 2 pieces of the property marked "Queen Anne's Bounty" and also Watling Street, the Roman road, is shown on the plan. Ownership of most of the parts of the area is noted, including Lord Bateman, and this plan could possibly yield much useful information about distribution of property and ownership of it at that date. Size. The document size is approx. 31" wide x 27" high. Condition. The vellum is in excellent condition with the usual folding creases but the plan is missing a very small, marginal area in the top left corner and also has the usual folding creases as it was included inside the folded vellum.

1856 VELLUM DEED. EASTHAMPTON HEREFORD & PLAN. This vellum indenture is dated 14th July 1856 and is between George Davies of Easthampton in Hereford, a carpenter and Elizabeth his wife (nιe Watkins) of the first part, John Ruberry, a mason and Milbrow his wife (nιe Watkins also) of the second part and Samuel Sampson of Leominster, Hereford, a Law Stationer of the third part. It is written in an excellent, very readable script. The transaction is stated in the filing notes to be a "Deed of Partition" and it would appear that an area of land which was jointly owned by the two wives (under their father's will) is being split into two so that each of the two families can deal with a separate section of the property. There is an excellent small plan, hand coloured, of the property on the verso which was drawn by F. Harris of Leominster. There are also witnesses' signatures, a receipt and a declaration. There are 5 red wax seals by the five signatures, each seal having an impression of a letter H and there is also a blue revenue stamp for one pound fifteen shillings. Size. The document size is approx. 28" wide x 23" high. Condition. In excellent condition with the usual folding creases. From the image - mentions land in the occupation of Robert Mason; the parish of Shobdon; land in the occupation of James Watkins; land in the occupation of John Hopton.
