Hello this auction is for one Indenture and seven letters relating to the indenture dated 1867. The letters are all dated before the indenture, they are all written to the solicitor and some seam to relate to a disagreement between the two men in the indenture, the other letters seam to be from people demanding money from one of the men. We can’t be certain of this as all of the letters and the indenture are written in old English and calligraphy so it is difficult to decipher the words. The indenture is entitled ‘Release and Indemnity’ dated 1867. ‘Between  Barton John Wheeler of Aldermore Lodge Old Shirley Southampton Yeoman and William Halcher Barton of Chale Abbey Farm in the Isle of Wight Esquire…’ It has two pages and one red seal signed by Barton John Wheeler. When folded it measures approx 9 x10 inches and when open to full size it measures approx 23 x29 inches. There are also two blue pieces of paper attached to the document one has ‘one pound fifteen shillings’ the other has ‘ten shillings’ written on them. At the back of the paper where they are attached they have a small piece of paper glued over them with a royal emblem and the letters VR. All indentures are in totally solid, un-torn condition, when folded exteriors are aged, but good quality indentures and when opened very bright and clear, please see pics

Rare medieval extract of the Manor Court of Ningwood, Isle of Wight, relating to the surrender of lands in Freshwaterfield. Dated 30th May 1441 in the 19th year of the reign of Henry VI "Nyngwode - At the court term Hokkes held there 30 May 19 Henry VI [1441] it was enrolled that to this court came John Raynolds, who held of the lord one tenement with appurtenances in Freshwaterfield, and surrendered it into the hands of the lord to the use of John Baker & Matilda his wife and nothing happened.

And lastly that John Raynolds should have annually from John Baker & Matilda at the feast of Michaelmas 2s during his life, with liberty of ingress and egress. And they were admitted as tenants and made fealty to the lord." This small vellum document is handwritten in Latin. Some creasing dust marking and overall browning, with a small area of water staining not affecting the text.  Text is clear apart from 2 or 3 words on the folds with smudging.

Hello this auction is for  a Release and Indemnity indenture - in excellent condition, packed full of stamps, seals and all beautifully written by quill in calligraphy. It is dated 5th April 1871, between Walter Wheeler of Budbridge Farm in The Isle of Wight, and Frank Barton of Heasley, Isle of Wight –It seems to be a bequeath of ‘live & dead farming stock implements and utensils in husbandry, crops household goods furniture plate linen and china moneys personal estate chattels & effects’. On Frank Bartons death the trustees are William Hatcher Barton of Chale Abbey Farm and Edward Love Griffiths of Newport. They are to carry on his Farming & Grazing Business. Monies to be paid to his 5 children Barton John Wheeler, Walter Wheeler, and daughters Mary Anne Duke (widow of James Duke, now the wife of William hooker), Selina Wheeler (now the wife of Robert Cole) and Louisa Eliza Wheeler. It is a large indenture with the 2 wax seals & signatures to the bottom, and measures 76 x 59 cm. This is a very interesting piece of Isle of Wight History, and might be helpful to anyone researching their ancestry or history of the farms / land concerned. It’s also very comprehensive, and I haven’t managed to read through all of it. In the center of the text there is a blank space for dates & signatures to be inserted, but it has been left unsigned. I did wonder if the either of the Walter Wheelers mentioned was the known cricketer born in 1841 in Newport.We will be listing a few more indentures over the next week.
