Here we have eight antique documents, they are all on vellum paper, and are very old. I am selling a large amount of them as I am about to move property in a few weeks, and really need to clear some room. This would make a great job lot, or would be very interesting for a historian, or someone with a general interest. The documents are all unrelated.

DEED ONE –from 1693, This is brilliant document involving the area of New Woodstock in the county of Oxon. It is a mortgage involving as far as I can see a ‘ George Wives’ This document is in great condition for its age, and also has amazing artwork of the monarch at the time.

DEED TWO & THREE - From 1746 a multi page vellum document, with ‘conveyance ‘ on it. It involves Mr Shelly from Stafford. With this document comes a Lease for a year involving the same people.

DEED FOUR – From 1760 it is a recovery involving ‘Whittaker’ this is a beautiful document with amazing art work. It’s from the area of Berkshire. The document has some stains on it, however is still in great condition for its age.

DEED FIVE – From 1718 this is a mortgage involving John Moles from Charlton. This is quite a small document, with one wax seal.

DEED SIX & SEVEN – From 1797 involving William Smallwood it is a conveyance of an estate in Stafford. This document has small art work of the monarch at the time. Included with this is a vellum lease for a year, involving the same people. There are also a few small letters and receipts within the documents

DEED EIGHT – From 1794 it is a release and involves a John Spindlow. It regards Yarnton in Oxfordshire.

Langton (Walter, bishop of Lichfield, Treasurer to the Crown, d. 1321) Walter [Langton], bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, grants to Roger de Aston & Sibille his wife (in tail), (i) a water mill called ‘Synodi milne’ (?Synod’s Mill) with its water (flow) and other appurtenances, and timber from our wood in the Forest of Cannock; (ii) and also two waste places (empty sites) in ‘Longedene’: (a) beginning at the corner of William de Lynton’s field, and extending along by the highway as far as ‘Le Bournebrok’... (b) extending in length from the ‘Hangestrude’, by the highway leading to ‘Hondesaker’ to opposite the gate of the field that once belonged to William son of Nicholas of Longedon, and from, in length (?breadth)... to the Marleputtesfeld...; rent 16s. a year to us, and 4s. a year to the abbot and convent of Buildwas, witnessed by Magister John de Derby, dean of Lichfield Cathedral; Robert de Radeswell, archdeacon of Chester; Elias de Napton..., manuscript on vellum, in Latin, 24 lines, lacks seal, folds, remains of tape at head not affecting text, slightly yellowed, 196 x 227mm., [ between 1296 and 1311].

Walter Langton, nephew of John Langton, dean of York is said to have been born at the manor of Langton West. He became a clerk in the king’s chancery and received various grants concerning woodland he owned at Ashley and the nearby forest of Rockingham. In 1292 he was described as keeper of the king’s wardrobe and perhaps as well, treasurer of the wardrobe. He was appointed bishop of Coventry and Lichfield and became the king’s chief minister. With responsibility and great wealth came enemies, chief amongst them Robert de Winchelsea, archbishop of Canterbury and in 1300 Langton was forced to travel to Rome to defend himself against accusations of adultery by Sir John Lovetot. The case was handed back from Rome to Winchelsea who had no choice but to declare him innocent. After this Edward I, who had never doubted Langton’s innocence appointed him an executor of his will and a baron of the treasury. “On 15 June 1305 he [Langton] was involved in a grave dispute with Edward, prince of Wales [the future Edward II], who had invaded his woods, and answered his remonstrances with insult. Hot words passed between the minister and the prince, but the king warmly took the treasurer’s side, and the prince was forced into submission.” (DNB). In 1307 Edward died and Langton was arrested as he travelled to London to arrange for his master’s funeral. Edward II and his friend Piers Gaveston stripped Langton of his offices and wealth and he was imprisoned, much of his wealth being given to Gaveston. As Edward’s financial situation deteriorated Langton was set free and in time, was restored to his office of treasurer only to fall foul of Winchelsea who excommunicated him for taking office in spite of the injunctions of the Lords Ordainers. Langton for the second time travelled to Rome to protest his innocence, but Winchelsea died and reconcilliation was again possible. Langton returned to his old position only to forced out once again by parliament in 1315. Langton died on 9 November 1321 and was buried in the Lady Chapel at Lichfield Cathedral.
