ANTIQUE
MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENTS/BLOFIELD MANOR, NORFOLK A bundle of 20 documents from
1755 to 1883 This bundle of documents was found in a family loft, but although
there are family ties with Blofield, I cannot connect any of the names on
these documents. I think they may be of interest to local historians or
historical collectors. They have been stored folded for a great many years
and I would say the condition is fair to poor. At least one item is vellum.
There are several documents with red wax seals and several have a blue
impressed stamp. The papers relate to the copyhold house and premises (late
Mr Joseph Page) at Blofield. 1755

Thomas Davy. Mentioned are Blo Norton Independent Chapel, pasture called
Stone pightle near rectory lands, Upper Tayers or Teyers Close, Lower Tayers,
Bramble Acre, Knotts close, North Field close. Several persons are named. All
the lands are clearly shown on a very attractive plan which shows 8 parcels

leaving a lifetime interest in his property to his wife, Emily. Land at
Pulham and Westfield is mentioined. On her death the estate is to be put up
for sale, the executors being her son Richard Webb and her son in law John
Kitson. Following the deaths of William and Emily the estate is sold at
auction at the Crown Inn. This is lot 2 which sold for £1,360, the purchaser
being the Rev William Manning. This land is shown on the plan and can today
be easily located as being west of the road leading from the railway station
to Long Stratton, south of the road from Pulham to Norwich, and north of the
river/drain. The document is produced on one sheet of vellum and is in very
good condition, bearing the signatures of Webb and Kitson as well as two wax

This
indenture was produced in 1899 and commences with the will of John Hotson who
leaves his property to his wife and children. Unfortunately he owes a
considerable sum of money, so much that the deeds to his property are in the
posession of the bank.This indenture records a mortgage of £2,200 so that the
family can keep their properties. The parties involved in the agreement are
Eleanor Mary Hotson, Arthur Wales Hotson, Mary Eleanor Drake, John Herbert
Hotson, The National Provincial Bank, and Isabella Jolly of Torquay. The land
and property involved is substantial and every item is listed on the four
page vellum indenture. It includes 51 acres in Bunwell Parish, Church Farm in
Carleton Rode which amounts to 104 acres, 151 acres at Pulham St Mary the
Virgin and Pulham St Mary Magdalene. The number of fields, farms, and persons
named is too numerous to mention. The document is signed by the five Hotsons
and there are six wax seals and a bank wafer seal. A very fine and

This
indenture records the conveyance of substantial amounts of land and property in
Pulham Norfolk. The agreement is drawn between William Manning of Abergavenny
and John Hotson of Stratton saint Mary. The sum of £7,000 is paid by Hotson
to Manning for land and buildings extending to over 151 acres. The land is
west of the road running from the railway station (is it still there?) to
Long stratton. All the fields are numbered on a large colour wash plan
measuring 12" by 11" and accompanied by a schedule on which they
are named and measured. Today much of this land is built over. Having sold
quite a few Pulham indentures, this is the finest. It is in top quality
condition and produced on two sheets of creamish vellum. The script is
attractive and legible, the plan is of the highest quality, and the schedule
most informative. |
