[Dymock]  Further Mortgage of the Church, Rectory & Tithes In 1793 Sir Henry Tempest of Tong (Yorkshire) borrowed £1300 (c£80,000 in today's money) fromThomas Higgins of Eastnor (Herefordshire).  This 1794 further mortgage records Sir Henry borrowing a further £700.  This deed has had its seals and the major parts of the signatures of both parties cut away.  Moreover, only this top sheet survives from what was clearly a multi-sheet deed.  Sometimes signatures were cut away when debts were repaid, but this item bears all the hallmarks of the seal collector - such a shame after 200 years.  Nevertheless theres some historical detail to be gleaned from this surviving top sheet.  (ref 0000)

[Bredwardine] 2 Deeds Relating to Croft of Webb This property (the more recent of the deeds - a 1906 mortgage transfer - contains a hand-drawn site plan showing the property to be on the Bredwardine-Merbach Hill Road) is described as three '...cottages or dwellinghouses having fallen into a ruinous state....'. Several earlier deeds appear not to have survived, but one that has is an 1841 assignment showing the properties to have been the concern of female members of the Hereford family of Williams for at least 65 years.

[Burghill] Small Group of Documents Relating to Elton's Marsh Elton's Marsh is on the modern A4110 road heading North from Hereford. This nice little group of 5 documents comprises 2 abstracts of title [c1805 and 1861], a copy mortgage of 1843 and 2 actual deeds [an 1842 mortgage assignment and an 1861 conveyance]. Between them, they record events from 1742 to 1881. For the first 50 years or so the property concerned was part of a much larger estate owned by the Salway family of Richards Castle, but in 1799 butcher John Powell acquired 6 acres of then meadow land adjoining the then Hereford-Dilwyn turnpike road. By 1811 5 houses had been 'lately erected' when farmer James Floyd of Pipe & Lyde acquired the property, which in turn passed to the Lane family through mortgage. In 1861 it was sold to John Turner, and 20 years later sold to labourer John Powell. It is intriguing to speculate on whether he knew of the involvement of his namesake & possible relative 80 years earlier. All in all an interesting chronicle of local events spanning 140 years.

[Luston]  Sale Particulars & Conditions of 3 Cottages The exact location of these 3 cottages, which came up for sale in 1821, isn't shown - only the names of the 3 occupants - William Ward, John Price and Thomas Burton - give us, looking back from 180-odd years later, any clue as to where they were.  This is a very unusual arrangement inasmuch as John Price - presumably the John Price shown as occupant of one of the cottages - was effectively selling his life interest in the cottages which, on his death, would revert back to the next 'life'.  This is reflected in the purchase price - just £20 - paid by Edward Scarlet of nearby Eye.   The sheet containing details - such as they are - of the cottages is a cut-down version of a larger sheet, the top half of which (undoubtedly cut away in 1821 & not here present) related to other Luston property in another sale.  Printed particulars, now 8"x6", accompanied by printed conditions with manuscript insertions on 2 sheets each approx 8"x13" and bearing the signature Edward Scarlet, he having paid £4 deposit.  (ref 3006)
