Surrender of Copyhold.   26 February 1885.   Oak Lodge, Bishopstoke, - County of Southampton. (Some additional, and larger size, images of this document can be viewed on http://www.enicholl.com/parchments/document-023/index.htm. ) Covenant, Indenture. 26 February 1885. Covenant for surrender and release of the Copyhold of the Mansion House and hereditaments known as Oak Lodge, Bishopstoke, in the County of Southampton. Those mentioned include;-

Henry Thomas Twynam of 32 Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, - Solicitor

William Stedman Gillett, of Harefield Bittern, Southampton, - Esquire

Arthur Woodall Gillett, of the Marine Society's Training Ship "Warspite", - Captain R N

William John Gillett, of 39 Woburn Square in the County of Middlesex, - Esquire

The Revd Hugh Hodgson Gillett, of Compton Guildford in the County of Surrey, - Clerk (in Holy Orders)

Eliza Twynam, of 18 Blandford Square in the County of Middlesex, - Widow

 

A complex document regarding the sale of several parcels of property and land which had previously been rented, with the income from the rent going to Eliza Twynam. The various parcels of property and land were to be transferred to William Stedman Gillett for the sum of £12,319 / 7s / 6d. The document describes the property as per an attached schedule and the detailed coloured map. The principal property identified on the map is Oak Lodge, but roads and directions are marked such that the property and land can probably be identified with the modern area of Bishopstoke. The map is very detailed, and is bound to be of interest to a modern day local historian. Document is in three sheets, each approx 27 1/2" x 22 1/2". The document is in good condition, though because it is in three sheets and the sheets have been kept folded over many years there is some noticeable creasing. On the first page ("This Indenture") this has led to some loss of legibility. On the second page there is some staining, though not to a serious degree. There are two seals with signatures on the document, - those of Henry T and Eliza Tywnam. The title page carries two red sterling silver stamps for ten shillings each, with two black-and-white VR stamps on the reverse.

Besides I must remark that (excepting Mr Winter…) every other manager… have been all of Mr Paynes nomination & that under the administration of those gentlemen instead of remittances from our estates we have been brought in debtors near £20000.”

Treasurer of the London Missionary Society, it is acknowledging the receipt for the sum of £200. The receipt being the amount of his salary for the year ending 7th June 1837.

He taught reading and writing for 4 1/2d a week (i.e. "a bit") some came four miles. He was later ordained. The letter is watermarked ‘RUSE & TURNERS 1835’ and has some soiling. It comes mounted on a display board, which says: Type S.2 in black. Know period of use 1824-1847. Frame 50mm x 16mm. This letter was written in Demerara. British Guiana on May 9th 1837. It was landed at Kingsbridge and arrived at London on June 26th 1837. Charges - 1/7 paid - 6d Captains gratuity, and 11d for the 208 miles Kingsbridge – London.
