The document
deal with the building of a new Square in the elegant Geogian Town of Bath in
England. Dated 1739, it is written on vellum. It is a contract between John Wood celebrated Architect of the Georgian city
of Bath, and Evelyn Duke of Kingston who commissioned the work. The document
has been signed by both parties, and includes both their personal wax seals.
This unique document is of particular historical interest as it features John
Wood - one of Britain's most famous Architects responsible for mich of the look of 'Georgian' Bath, which is still
one of the country's most beautiful cities. Present on the Indenture are two
George 3rd silver plated duty stamps to the value of five (eighteenth
century) shillings, backed with two George 3rd postage stamps, one dated `64
the other appears to be dated `79. The map shows the area of Bath where the
new streets designed by Wood are to be built. The map and indenture are
stitched together. Although most details are legible it is quite difficult to
read everything as it has been hand
written in a flowing stylised script. .The dimensions are 2` 8" X 2` 4" The map is slightly shorter
at 1`9". The document is folded
into an 8" X 8" package. |

Batcombe
Tythes. Group of three vellum and two paper documents, 1771-86, all revealing
the dissatisfaction of the Rector of Batcombe with the level of revenue he
was receiving from the local tythes, the vellum documents retaining numerous
signatures and wax seals This interesting group of documents provides
considerable information on the ancient feudal system of tythes and the
payments made. Each vellum document is in effect a contract between the
Rector and the local population for an increase in the annual tythes with the
threat that if they declined the increase in payments, he would "take
the tythes in kind". |

VELLUM INDENTURE WITHYPOOLE SOMERSET This old, much loved, manuscript was
drawn up on 30th January 1728. The main name in it is Robert Cutcliffe. The
document contains various names for people within the counties of Devon &
Somerset. The parish mentioned, Withypoole, is now known as Withypool. The
document is quite long. Below I have enclosed an abstract from it, which was
done by a museum. I visited the area over 30 years ago and the house
concerned was still there! At the time it belonged to a banking family, of
which I can't remember the name right now. Possibly Martins. I met a farmer
living nearby who invited us in for tea. He was fascinated with the indenture
and said it solved some problems regarding who the Kings land belonged to,
meaning Exmoor. For people with a genealogy interest, some of the possible
deviations of Cutcliffe are: Cutclif Cutcliff Cutliff Cutlif Cutliffe Cutlyff I have
some details about the Cutcliffe (Cutcliffe of Damage) family going back to
Thomas Cutlyff 1450 of Hartland, which was sent to me from the local museum
some years ago. These include notes on the family, and Robert Cutcliffe's
will etc., extracted from: W.R. Drake's "Notes and Notelets".
Information about the Cutcliffe family has been copied from accounts of the
Family of Cutcliffe by W.R.Drake, printed in London in 1876. Also the details
of this indenture has been on a website for some years (my contribution): -
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/SOM/Withypool/indent01.txt Size is approx.
15¾" high and 22" wide (inches) There is a red wax seal at the
bottom. The seal is an image of a Lion, presumably Hugh Portbury's as his
signature is next to it. There are also 3 blue stamps on the top left-hand
corner. These look like VI Pence on each one? There are the usual folding
creases, and staining although it has been kept in acid free tissue paper in
the dark. ~~~~~~~~~ Names
