scribed with various names (all involved inside the document - witnesses??)
The pages are joined so that you start reading from the back page, and work
your way forwards. It is, as you can
imagine all written in a very "olde" style English. The handwriting is brown and very ornate- I
have had a good go at reading this, but it is a little beyond me as to what
really happened - If you are good at this type of thing, and patient, I'm
sure it will be much easier for you!!
From the few bits that I did pick up, it seems a really interesting
document.... The first part of this document has the ornate/ elaborate
writing "This indenture" as a starting point. I think the "story" really
started back in the 1740's, and it begins as being set "in the sixteenth
year of the reign of our sovereign Lord George the second..." Great Britain was then spelt with two
"T"'s. I believe it all starts with some kind of a will dispute
with a deceased gentleman from Bath - it also mentions a property known as
"Westgate House" in Westgate Street (I believe in Bath), adjoining
also "Bristoll" (as spelt in parchment document) Road. This property was being leased out (on a 40
year term????) and I think this property was a key in this case... There were several names mentioned within,
therefore to me it all got a little cloudy & confusing, but I will try
and highlight a few of those mentioned... Edward Oliver - An Ironmonger of
Bristol Jane Oliver - His wife Ann Bailey of Bristol - "a widow"
Thomas Hungerford - He was mentioned frequently, and paid the Solicitor over
£1,105.00, as it was receipted on the reverse of the parchment. He had 3 daughters mentioned within, as follows:
Roberta, Jane and Anna or Anne. Randolph Webbs - Him and his wife I believed
leased "Westgate House" from Charles Bowe (not sure of his surname,
as it was hard to make-out) - Lease indenture was made in 1731 on 31st
January. Joan Webb - Randolphs widow, who was to maintain possession of the
property for forty years (pressumably after someones death) provided she paid
the rent of 40 shillings a year, payable on a quarterly basis. Edward Andrews
- I think he owed someone £800.00 - perhaps for the lease on the property???
I really wish I could give more information on this - It has really intrigued
me... On the reverse it is witnessed, a chap called G Tynedale keeps
appearing (I think he witnessed the sealing), and the name Samual Davis (he
was perhaps the solicitor). There are
also other names mentioned (probably again, seal witnesses): William James,
server to Mr Andrews, and John Reeves.
The reverse mentions defendants and complainants.. hence the legal
connections. I really cannot emphasise just how intriguing this is, and I'm
sure it is of significant value, not just monetary, but historically too...
Being over 200 years old, it is somewhat faded. It is also quite dirty, and has
unfortunately been folded very uncomfortably- it is very dirty along the
creases, and the writing has also faded more along these creases - It is also
crumpled. Despite this, it is a
stunning well-preserved piece of British History - still legible (but hard to
decipher the very different language, not to mention the ornate
writing). It would be particularly
interesting if you were a decendent of someone mentioned, or knew of the
property... |

Beauchamp
(Sir Thomas, ?king's carver in the royal household of Henry VI, fl.
1413-30s).-. Charter of Thomas Huntley, gentleman, to Sir Thomas Beauchamp,
Robert Hill of Paxton, John Storiton of Preston and others, a release of the
manors of Iller, Bere, Pitteney & Werne [?Aller, Beer, Pitney &
Wearne] in Somerset and the manors of Melbury Osmond, Blakelonde, Lydlinch,
Caundle, Haddon and many other manors and advowsons in Dorset, Oxfordshire
& Bedfordshire, witnesses: Robert Hill, John Cokayne, John Preston,
William Babyngton & John Martyn, manuscript on vellum, in Latin, in brown
ink in a cursive charter script, 41 lines, 16th/17th century docket on verso,
creased and slightly stained at edges, remains of red wax seal, [Phillipps
M.S. 35623], 357 x 251mm., "Regio henrici quinti", 14th August
1422. £800 - 1200 Documents
from the reign of Henry V are extremely scarce. Sir Thomas Beauchamp of Somerset,
a relative of the earls of Warwick seems to have been a somewhat turbulent
character. In 1413 he was committed to the Tower of London by order of Henry
V, being released on 8 February 1414 only after several prominent London
citizens including "Richard Whytington" stood surety "under a
pain of 1000 marks" for his future behaviour. Beauchamp was an esquire
of Edward, second Duke of York (?1373-1415) and was left an annuity of 10
marks from his inheritence in the custom Port of London and keeper of the
great park at Fasterne at his death. In 1419 he and several others forcibly
seized seven acres of meadow in Chaffcombe [Somerset] from John Denebaude who
was in the king's household in a long standing feud that dated back to at
least 1410 but was cleared of wrongdoing by a commission of enquiry. In 1421
he was served a commission of array for the west country because of the
threat of an invasion by the kings of Castile and Aragon. Thomas Beauchamp
was appointed carver to Henry VI from 1430 to 1432 and in 1430 was one of
eight household knights to accompany the king to France for his coronation in
Paris. Two witnesses are of note in this document, being Sir William
Babington (d. 1455), chief baron of the exchequer (1419-23) and John Cokayn,
justice of an assize in Lincolnshire, Warwickshire etc. |

(George) LETTER to George Roberts from an acquaintance signing himself 'W.

Roberts for the gift of 'the gigantic potatoes', says he is delighted to be
able to help with his proposed work on Monmouth. Offers to send him a much
better plan, on a larger scale, and some skethes, and gives him detailed
information on one of the weapons used by the rebels 'the Rhine scythe.... I
suppose when at Weston we could have seen one of them in almost every cottage
and Farm house and also another weapon called the staff-hook which is an old
reap-hook fixed on a long pole for the purpose of cutting the bottom weeds
from the ditches.... of course they were taken as the first formidable
weapons at hand....' He claims his own information is more reliable than
Lock's (author of 'The Western Rebellion') '.... in one instance my
information was from a Tailor who died last year at the age of 96 whose
Master (Tailor Arthur) was a Boy keeping sheep on the moor at the time the
Battle was fought - Wade knew not the situation of the Rhines &c which
were by no means deep at that time of the year....' Offers to procure a
drawing of 'the sword of Mary Bridge'. Roberts book on the Rebellion 'The
Life Progresses, and Rebellion of James, Duke of Monmouth' was published in
1844. Roberts also wrote books on Lyme Regis, the Axe, etc. |
