of Oxfordshire, including an indenture of 1673, two early 18th c. obligation
bonds (one water damaged but legible), one signed by the 'attorney to Mr

obligation bonds involves the then huge sums of money of œ2,200, while the
other is in the name of James Stevens, steward to the Duke of Marlborough.

Scarce vellum indenture dated November 1st, 1650, relating to
the sale of the Manor, mansion house, lands and woods of 'Lugershall' (modern
day Ludgershall) on the Buckinghamshire/Oxfordshire border, by William Child
and his wife Elizabeth, written in a legible chancery hand, a little fading
affecting a few words, and a little overall browning, but otherwise in good
condition with attractive calligraphic initial letter enclosing the date. We
have no records of a comparable document appearing on the market in recent
years. This document contains one key insertion identifying the parties as
Royalists as it refers to the payment of a sum of money for the discharging
of a fine composition to Parliament for Child's 'delinquency to the
Parliament or Commonwealth'. This was the term used by Parliament for
Royalist estates that were generally forfeited until their owners paid a fine
to the Committee for Compounding. Upon payment, the lands were usually
returned. Those who refused or who were not permitted to compound had their
estates remitted to the Treason Trustees. These records have largely
disappeared, doubtless during the period shortly after the Restoration when
Charles II reversed the process and seized estates from prominent
Parliamentarians. The William Child referred to in this document could
possibly be the organist and composer William Child (1606-97), organist at St
George's Chapel, Windsor who was expelled from this position during the
interregnum and rose to be musician to the Chapel Royal at the Restoration. |

Attractive and historic document on vellum, dated 1789, being a
private agreement to enclose part of the waste or common called Chambers
Green in the parish of Caversham under Act of Parliament [29GII] for the
purpose of planting and preserving trees for timber and underwoods and for
more effectually preventing the destruction of trees, written in a neat
legible hand on a single large leave of vellum with the signatures or marks
and affixed wax red seals of 39 men and women having an interest in the waste
or common, including Charles Sloane, 1st Earl Cadogan, and Charles Marsack of
Caversham Park, in fine fresh condition. The reason for the Act of Parliament
was to provide sufficient timber for building naval vessels at a period when
England was almost permanently involved in Continental and American Wars -
and of course a measure which was to prove vital for the defence of the Realm
on the rise of Napoleon a decade later. |

Fabulous
Victorian period King James bible belonging to the Luckett family published
by George E. Eyre & William Spottiswoode, London 1853. The contemporary
family member was William Luckett (died July 19th 1855) but the handwritten
records inside the bible predate William, starting with John Luckett who was
married at Witney on 12th May 1788. A blank page opposite the St. Matthews
Gospel has a ‘Register of Births & Deaths’ from William Luckett 1855
through to Private William Luckett of the 26th Battalion Royal Fusiliers who
was killed in action on the Somme 15th September 1916. He is buried at
Gueudecourt. Some later family members have been added up until 1956.
Enclosed loose papers relate other details; the Greenwood family (1818 –
1931); the Lucketts up to Sarah Ann Luckett (died July 23rd 1931). Also
includes extracts from Kelly’s Directory of Oxfordshire 1864. Two blank pages
following Revelations have hand written details of earlier Lockett family
members; John Luckett 1788 onwards. Fascinating material, this is the classic
family bible handed on from generation to generation. This King James bible
is a fine example with tooled dark blue leather & gilt lettering.
Endpapers lightly foxed & a little soiled but the interior is in good condition.
Nice tight overall condition. Bible measures 11 x 8½ x 2½ inches. From the
images I can see the following: John Luckett & Elizabeth --- married at
Witney May 12 1788; John Luckett born April 4 1789; Harriett Luckett born
April 14 1790; Henry William Luckett born March 18 1791; Elizth. Luckett born
April 19 1792; William Luckett died July 19, 18..?; Sarah Luckett died Jany 3
1864; James Greenwood died Jany 25 1877; Mary Greenwood died Jany 3 187?;
Thomas Luckett born March 12th 1836, Died Jany 27th 1921 & Sarah Ann
