[Ashby de la Zouch] Deeds to Rose Villas

Rose Villas would appear to have been built in 1903 in what is today's Lower Packington Road (towards the Avenue Road end). The plot of land reached back towards the railway line, a good proportion of which would now appear to be covered by Tudor Close/Stuart Way. The documents on offer comprise 4 abstracts of title dated 1902-1936 (the 2 earlier ones contain small site plans) and mortgages dated 1921 and 1936. The site was part of the former 10 acre Hopyard Meadow. The 6 items (ref 9/11)

The documents cover the period from 1844 to 1933 though the last actual property deed is dated 1896. Principal parties were Dalby (1844-1850); Salisbury (1850-1862); Carver (1862-1863); Fernyhough (1863-1868); Beckwith (1868-1891); Towle (1891-1933), though none of them actually occupied any of the 4 houses (apparently no's 34-40 even).

[Heather] Deeds to The Swan Alehouse & Adjoining Property

In 1854 John Newton sold several cottages including 'all those two messuages or tenements (one whereof is used as a grocers shop) formerly one dwellinghouse or tenement with the yard gardens orchard stable and outbuildings thereto belonging situate and being in Heather aforesaid many years since known as the Swan Inn.....'. This conveyance is the most recent in a reasonably complete sequence of property deeds - principally concerning The Swan - stretching back to 1732. The documents not specifically concerning The Swan relate to the adjoining cottages, and are so inextricably linked that the whole collection of deeds cannot be split. In total there are 49 documents, 35 of them on parchment. A few of the 14 paper items are in fact copies of some of the parchment ones. Principal names involved at intervals through the 120 years covered by these deeds are Hinckley, Piddock, Daking, Sansome, Tatlow, Newton, also Earp, Pearsall & Heafield - though most of them were owners rather than occupiers - however the documents mention current and former occupants as a way of identifying the properties. None of the documents contain or are accompanied by plans, the naming of occupants was clearly regarded as being sufficient to identify individual properties. Unusual to have the opportunity to acquire such a run of deeds. The collection (ref 9/21)
