This
lovely 18th century manuscript leaf was written in England in the year 1723.
The manuscript is written on paper, partly in English and partly in Latin, in
brown ink using a quill pen. The manuscript is some kind of legal bond
between one William Reade ( a yeoman) and Ambrose Austen (a husbandman) from
Thannet, England. The manuscript - although nearly 3 centuries old - still
bears the original red wax seal with a stamp of a swan or other large bird.
It has been signed by William Reade and witnessed by a William Stone and John
Cock. This lovely leaf measures approx 13 inches tall by about 8.25 inches
wide |

[Charlton]
Important Group of Property Deeds The collection
relates to an area on the North side of Woolwich Road once known as Simmonds
Marsh. It relates specifically to the area from today's West Moor Street to
Hardens Manor Way. It chronicles events from 1845 through to 1910 when the
LCC had begun to acquire it for a road widening scheme. This part of the
former Greenwich-Woolwich turnpike road was very much the concern of the
Roupell family. The collection is important in that it documents the
acquisition of land for a Wesleyan Methodist chapel (built 1847/8) on the
corner of the former Ardens Manorway, and the Victoria, a public house on the
corner of the former East Street (East Street is shown on a plan accompanying
an 1847 deed as 'intended new street'). The collection also charts property
name changes such as Star Terrace and Albert Place which were both subsumed
into Woolwich Road. At some point the chapel came under the auspices of the
Salvation Army. Undoubtedly some of the documents would have borne General
Booth's signature - sadly these have been removed so the collection is not
quite complete. However it remains a valuable local history consisting of 30
parchment deeds plus a dozen or so on paper. |

Group of Property Deeds The
collection relates to 8 houses in the former West Street, now West Moor
Street. It chronicles events from 1852, when the houses were clearly brand
new, to 1925. For the whole of that time they were owned by the Roupell
family though leased out to a succession of non-residents. The group of
houses started life as no's 41-48 but were re-numbered 56-70 (even). There
are gaps in the collection, though it is latter part that is most incomplete
- probably due to many more hands becoming involved. 18 deeds altogether, of
which 14 are on parchment. |

Large
vellum Indenture, approximately 25" x 28", dated 23rd May 1633 in the
reign of Charles I. The document is written in English and appears to be a
property transaction between Maurice Abbott of London and Sir Edward Jenning
of Kent, Knight and Baronet, Lieutenant of His Majesty's Fleet of Dover. I
believe the property is in Kent. The document is in good condition for its
age. There are some small holes on the right-hand side, as seen in the photo,
but these are minor defects. It is signed by Maurice Abbott and there is a
hanging seal but the red wax seal is missing. The text is perfectly legible
and much clearer than the photo suggests. |
