The other four documents chart the development of the Manor of Shipham in Somerset, the extensive mineral and farming rights being granted, as well as the right to hold fairs on the land.

Marriage Settlement. Historically important large multiple sheet vellum indenture dated 1722, being the marriage settlement of a high status marriage between Sarah Daines, daughter of Sir William Daines a Mayor, Sheriff and Member of Parliament for Bristol and Richard Champneys Lord of the Manor of Orchardleigh in Somerset, written in a neat legible hand throughout on seven leaves of vellum, signed and sealed by all parties. An important local historical document which will doubless provide considerable new information on Bristol and north Somerset during the reign of George I. Daines was Mayor of Bristol in 1700. He had been Sheriff in 1694 and sat in parliament on a number of occasions. Champneys derived from an ancient family originally emanating from the Champagne region in France. An ancestor accompanied William the Conqueror and established the family line in Somerset. Richard's great uncle emigrated to America in the 1630s and established the family in Cambridge Mass. The main bulk of the Champneys family papers are in the Somerset Record Office. Marriage settlements of this importance involving two historically identifiable and high status people rarely appear on the market.

This fine Indenture consists of 8 neatly handwritten pages. It measures 10.5 inches by 17 inches and its incredibly light weight is approx 51 grammes only. For its age it is in remarkable condition. The document is practically faultless apart from a very small dark stain on the back sheet which does not spoil the document. The document has been well preserved and is an ideal piece of English history for collectors of old hand written documents. The signature on the mortgage deed itself is a little faint and the original seal which is in near perfect condition is for some reason a very dark green/nearly black substance. The deed stamps in 1882 value £7.10.0. appear as though they were impressed only today. The seals on the Transfer are again near perfect. They are red. The Revenue stamps in 1891 value £1.10.0. are again near perfect. The 6 black Revenue stamps are again in beautiful condition as if only attached to the document today.
