Laud
(William, Archbishop of Canterbury, executed, 1573-1645)Grant to Nicholas
Assheton, ffourth Sonne of Sr Ralphe Assheton of Whalley in the County of
Lancaster Baronett", of the "Parsonage of Whalley with all the
right members and appurtenances thereof... And all those his Chappells of
Padiham, Cliderowe [Clitheroe], Colne, Burnley, Bowland..." and
appointing as his attorneys John Crumbock and Robert Cunliffe, Ds. "W: Cant.",
manuscript on vellum, 26 lines, lacks seal, folds, slightly soiled, 250 x
420mm., 22nd January 1640. Estimate: £200 - 300. Sale price: £460 + 15% buyer
commission. ***Sir Ralph
Assheton (1579-1644), was created a baronet on 28th June 1620 and leased the
parsonage of Whalley from Archbishop Abbott, valued at #2000 and with a
yearly rent of #247 13s 3d. On 4th September 1635 his successor, Archbishop
Laud sued Assheton in the courts of Exchequer and High Commission for the
return of the property "wherefore the tithes, profits, and other
emoluments of the said rectory ought not to be sequestered and applied to the
payments of fit stipends or salaries to the curates, and to the repair... of
the churches in that parish" (CSP). Assheton submitted, was fined #300
in the court of High Commission, and then ordered to pay #1600 for a new
lease of 21 years and surrender up his former lease, part of which he had
already paid. The rent was increased by #60 a year; in all Assheton had lost
about #3000. This information was used as evidence by the parliamentary
commissioners in the trial of Laud. Sir Ralphe Assheton of Whalley belonged
to a branch of the Assheton's of Middleton. In 1635 he appeared in court
charged with "incest with Alice the wife of John Kenyon and Joan Whiteaires
her niece, and of a long continued adultery with Elizabeth Holmes".
Assheton was a cousin of an earlier Nicholas Assheton (1590-1625), a diarist
of Lancashire country life and was related to William Assheton (1641-1711),
divine and chaplain to James, duke of Ormonde. |

Oldham, Lancashire.
Collection of inventories, valuations and sale catalogues, etc. c. 1894,
including an inventory of the pictures, works of art, articles of virtue etc belonging
to Charles Lees of Werneth Park, Oldham 1894; the valuation of the estate of
Dame Sarah Lees of Werneth Park Oldham; typewritten lists of properties from
these two estates to be appropriated to various beneficiaries, and a few
other printed catalogues , sale particulars etc. which appear to be related
to the same estate. Lees was one of the most fabulously wealthy of the
Lancashire mill owners and this group of documents, and will doubtless
provide considerable new information on his collections. Lees was a man of
taste in the true Victorian tradition amassing works of art by all the
leading contemporary British artists as well as examples by leading overseas
painters. Artists represented include: Marcus Stone, Leighton, Poynter,
Millais, Gainsborough, G F Watts, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Crome, Frith, Sir
Thomas Laurence, Constable and many more. £70-100 |

Prisoners. Printed 'Calendar
of all the Prisoners in the New Bailey Prison, Salford Manchester' 22pp,
large folio, 22nd January 1817, listing all prisoners in the prison on that
date, their crimes, and the length of time they were condemned to serve,
minor damage to the final leaf, affecting a few words, and slight fraying at
edges, but in generally good condition. A rare and remarkable document,
providing a considerable insight into social history at this time, long
before the welfare state. Included in the list are prisoners aged just 10
years old, and some of the crimes seem ludicrous by today's standards such as
'selling unstamped almanacks', 'wilfully drawing off water from a canal lock'
'wilfully leaving open a lock gate' being 'an incorrigible rogue' - for which
the punishment was 1 year imprisonment and being privately whipped the day
before discharge - 'being and rogue and vagabond found wandering abroad,
having no visible means of gaining a livelihood, and there is even one
prisoner whose crime was 'bastardy before birth'. It is also a sobering
thought that in those days 'leaving an apprenticeship' was a crime carrying a
punishment of 3 months in solitary confinement. (1) £70-100 |

Lancashire Church Pews.
Manuscript document on vellum 1746, granting authority from the Lord Bishop
to erect and build a loft or gallery in the church at Saddleworth, specifying
its length, the rights to selling the pews and other matters, together with
two other vellum documents granting pews in Oldham Church. Documents of this
nature from such an early date rarely appear on the market. The practice of
selling the right of occupancy in a church pew might seem strange today but
in the 18th c. at a time when everyone was expected to attend church and the
services were of enormous length with sermons lasting hours on end, it was
obviously advantageous to secure a comfortable seat. Gallery pews were
particularly sought after as clandestine deliveries of food and wine could be
easily arranged during the service |

land ownership of Thomas Willott in and around the Manchester area during the
Elizabethan era providing considerable new information on late Tudor
Manchester which was at that time largely a rural area. Willott is known to
history and there is a note of his land holding in Willan (MUP 1980) p32

Willott, gent, had bought from Robert Shaw, gent 'certayn classes or landes'

Oldham Privies.
Remarkable indenture on vellum dated 1860, granting Edward Jackson and his
family the right to use privies and ashpits in Sack Street, Oldham, manuscript
indenture written in a fine legible hand in good condition but not executed.
Scarce. The document elaborately sets out the fact that '...Andrew Schofield
has erected commodious privies and ash pits sufficient to afford
accommodation to his own tenants and others...' he now leases use of the
facility to the Jackson family (who are allindividually named) for the yearly
rental of one guinea. The document also sets out Schofield's redress if the
Jackson family fail to pay the rent. The document was, in the event not
finally executed. Remarkable as it may seem today to have a document leasing
out the right to use a toilet, in the mid- 19th c. when the rapidly expanding
population had no mains sanitation and very few dwellings had any toilet
facilities at all, the building of more formal facilities was a considerable
advance. Many believe the single greatest achievement of the Victorians was
the development of the mains drainage and sewer systems , which are still the
backbone of modern sanitation, thus ridding this country of the horrors of
typhoid, typhus and cholera etc. |

detailing the sale of the 'Unicorn' alehouse in Bolton-le-Moors, together
with its brewhouse, pumps and well, with a colour wash map showing the extent
of the property A fascinating document charting the heritage of modern day
Bolton. At this time, Bolton was considerably smaller than it is today, and
was known as Bolton-le-Moors to differentiate it from other places such as
Bolton-le Sands. The Unicorn alehouse referred to in this document was
situated in Bradshawgate - a road which still exists today, but there is no
public house there now |

Manuscript list of names on two sheets of vellum, c
1690s, listing all those persons of Salford, Lancashire, who had promised to
send money to the 'King's Most Excellent Majesty' for the 'defence of his
kingdom and religion', written in neat chancery hand, some scuffing to the
vellum but almost entirely legible, both leaves approx 58x17cm A fascinating
and historic document which will doubtless yield considerable new information
on the population of Salford at the time of the Glorious Revolution. Having outsted
his father-in-law James II, William found himself plagued by rebellions at
home, threats of Jacobite invasion (culminating in the Battle of the Boyne)
and eventually in 1691, war with France over the future of the Spanish
Netherlands - a war which was to last six long years and to cripple him
financially. The present document therefore records just one example of how
the Orange Monarchy desperately tried to finance itself against a background
of corruption at home, a wary House of Commons, unwilling to vote too much
into the King's hands, and warfare which was constantly draining his depleted
finances. Of particular interest are references to the Trafford family. |

manuscript letter to verso, 2pp 4to. The order requires the Constables of
Butterworth to provide four musketeers and two pikemen with arms at
Manchester on May 8th at the house of Commissioner Greene. It is subscribed
by eight named people, and also contains a note of the soldiers to be
produced by Hundersfield (? Huddersfield), Spotland, and Castleton. The date

of Charles II to return to his throne at the Restoration. |

brewer called Richard Parkinson who at the time of this indenture was in
prison for debt in Lancaster Castle, detailing the sale of his public house
and brewhouse called 'The Highgate', together with furniture, brewing
utensils, stock in trade, etc. The address of the hapless Parkinson is given
as 'in prison'. At this time, debt was a criminal offence and those falling behind
often ended up in gaol. Further research will doubtless reveal an intriguing
story behind this document! |

Fine quitlclaim on vellum from the reign
of Edward III dated 1367, relating to Duxbury, Adlington and Chorley, paid by
freeholder in lieu of services to Hugh de Standisse, 11 lines written in a
clear legible chancery hand, some dusting but perfectly legible, with a
perfect pendant seal in red wax attached by original vellum tag, 95x230mm. Of
considerable interest to the genealogy of this area of Lancashire and also of
considerable American interest. Hugh de Standisse was clearly a forefather of
the Standish family of Duxbury, one of the main claimants as the family of
Miles Standish, the leader of the Pilgrim Fathers in 1620, and who founded
the township of Duxbury in Massechusetts. There has been centuries of
speculation as to whether Standish came from the Duxbury area of Lancashire
(though this is now largely accepted) but this present document provides
further proof that the family had land holdings in the area some 300 years
before Miles Standish departed for America. Documents from such an early date
are now becoming scarce on the market. |

rents with landlords listed including the Duke of Bridgewater (of canal
fame). Places listed include: Worsley, Barton, Pendleton, Pendlebury, Monton,
Tildesly, Little Houghton, Eccles, Irlam, Davyhulme, Swinton, Lostock, Cross
