Bundle
of documents 1868/9, relating to the sorry demise of Thomas Savin the Shrewsbury Railway Pioneer who went bankrupt in
1868 owing the staggering total of .5 million (some œ100million today),
including legal papers issued by the High Court to distrain
his goods, which included the extensive lime workings in the area known as 'White
Rock', the origial writ to take posession
of his goods issued by the Sheriff of Denbighshire, deeds of property he once
owned, auction particulars of his properties, the original agreement between Savin and a former owner of the White Rock for the establishment
of his lime production business, an earlier conveyance (of 1860) on vellum
for some land in nearby Montgomery acquired by Savin
from Sir John Kynaston and other related documents.
Savin, described in one of the documents as a 'limeburner', was in fact a glittering financial gambler
from Shrewsbury who almost single handedly financed the Cambrian Railways in
the early 1860's. He then pursued an extremely ambitious plan to exploit the
mineral potential available under White Rock farm in Llanymynech,
and attracted considerable investment for what seems to have been a major
undertaking - involving not only the construction of lime extraction
workings, but also the building of three railway lines. At some stage during
the development, Savin appears to have run out of
money - aided by the fact that he had also taken on a large sea front hotel
in Aberystwyth (which is now part of the University
of Wales) where he offered free accommodation to anyone coming to the resort
by the recently opened railway! Despite having got through more than
œ3.5million, the Llanymynech scheme still required
considerable further investment, but at this point Savin
was made bankrupt, his assets siezed and placed in
the hands of commissioners, who appear to have pursuaded
creditors to continue investing in the scheme as the only way in which they
could get their money back. The limeworkings at Llanymynech are now being developed as a heritage centre.

Important
vellum indenture dated 1774, being the bargain and sale of the Lordships of
Wellington, Watling Street and Little Wenlock, Shropshire, together
with Watling Street Hall, from George Forester to
John Adams, written in a neat hand on two large sheets, in fine fresh
condition, signed and sealed by George Forester and John Adams. An important
document in the history of Shropshire and in the
development of the Industrial Revolution. George Forester is a major figure
of the industrial revolution having been instrumental in the development of
the Willey Furnaces near Broseley. He had bought
the Ridding and Swinney Estates at Willey in 1757
and 1759 respectively. By this document he sells the Lordships of Wellington,
Little Wenlock and Watling
Street, to John Adams of London. It was at this very time that Abraham Darby
was active in promoting the building of the famous Iron Bridge which was
opened in 1781 on land which was part of the Little Wenlock
lordship. The document also mentions a considerable number of other places in
the area including Shifnall and Chelmarsh
and mentions a large number of people. Documents of this importance relating
to the area which is now known worldwide as the 'Cradle of the Industrial
Revolution' and signed by one of the major figures at the time are extremely
rare. |

areas of South Shropshire, one document a little

group of documents for historians of South Shropshire.
Two of the documents involve members of the Baldwin (of Baldwyn) family of Munslow, near Ludlow - ancestors of Prime Minister Sir
Stanley Baldwin. The group also includes an indenture of 1791 relating to the
Manor of Chelmarsh, signed by George Forester, a
document of 1654 relating to Much Wenlock, a
marriage settlement for the Sprott family of Marsh,
and a printed voting paper for the 1843 election in Bridgnorth.

relating to the granting of rents over a considerable area of South Shropshire, including Church Stretton,
written in a legible hand with extensive schedule, signed and sealed by all
parties, some dusting to outer surface as usual. A most important document
for local historians of South Shropshire. The area
of land involved was considerable, taking in the present popular town of
Church Stretton, the villages of All Stretton, Leebotwood, Rushbury and Church Stoke (just across the Welsh border).
Of particular importance is the extensive schedule attached to the document
which lists each tenant, under tenant and occupier of land in the area, with
rent values and each field or area identified and listed by name. |

Citation
re Probate of Samuel Bagnall of Coptivinney,
Ellesmere This
very unusual document was issued in 1863 by the Shrewsbury Probate Registry
revoking a grant of probate made to Coptivinney
farmer James Bagnall the previous year. The document mentions an 'alleged will' of
Samuel Bagnall - presumably the father of James -
but on the affidavit of Samuel's widow Mary it appears the will may have been
a forgery - certainly there was something wrong with it. James Bagnall was
given 8 days in which to return the grant of probate. Manuscript on parchment, signed by the
court registrar. (ref 323/54) |

Court Case Brief etc In
January 1893 George John Morgan, a Kinnersley
surgeon, was driving his gig along the highway at Cae
Lloy. In the dark he damaged the gig on a pile of
stone brought in by barge to raise the level of the road which flooded
regularly. These 4 little documents give us a vivid insight into the trials
& tribulations of a vicar (Rev H H Howard)
whose enthusiasm & enterprise landed him at Shrewsbury County Court
accused of negligence. It would be interesting to know the outcome. (ref

[Much
Wenlock documents] Lease & Conveyance of an
Acre of Land These
1840 deeds are to ‘All those four several pieces or parcels of land formerly
part of the Common of Westwood’ which can be identified from the inclosure map as no’s 49, 50, 51 & 52. Subsequent to inclosure, the conjoining hedges of these 4 small fields
appear to have been grubbed out in order to create a larger (one acre) field.
The lease, nominally for a year at a peppercorn rent, was necessary to give
possession and is thus dated the day before the conveyance. Parties involved
are Clively and Canlin.. Both property deeds are in manuscript on parchment and
bear signatures of the sellers. The buyer’s signature is on the conveyance.
With the two deeds comes a solicitor’s bill, destined not to be paid for more
than 2 years. (ref 153/25) |

the two dates given. There is an
