The Wilfred Blunt Archive. Important archive of papers, 1869-1922, relating to the poet, adventurer, associate of the pre-Raphaelites and founder of modern anti- colonialism, Sir Wilfred Blunt, of Worth, Sussex, as well as his wife Lady Anne, the granddaughter of Byron, and their world famous Arabian horse racing stud at Crabbet Park (near to modern day Gatwick Airport), including a copy of Blunt's original marriage settlement, mentioning Byron's daughter, Augusta Ada, various copies of Blunt's will and codicils to it, most signed by Blunt, legal papers relating to the Crabbet Park Arabian Stud, a copy of Lady Anne's will, an indenture involving the Rev. Augustus Byron, papers relating to the High Court lawsuit Blunt took out against his daughter, Lady Wentworth, sundry legal papers, letters etc. A fascinating archive which will doubtless shed new light on one of the most colourful characters in late Victorian England, as well as providing new information on the immediate descendents of Lord Byron. Blunt, (1840-1922) famed for his Victorian love sonnets, was also a leading diplomat of his day, a seasoned traveller and adventurer, particularly in Egypt and Arabia, revered by his fellow poets, such as W B Yeats, and also a close associate of the pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood - so close in fact that he had a torrid love affair with one of their most famous models, Jane Burden. He married Byron's granddaughter in 1870, and together they developed one of the most famous Arabian Racehorse studs of all time - the Crabbet Park Stud. Indeed the name 'Crabbet' is today a byword for quality Arabian bloodstock. Sadly his daughter did not take any interest in the stud and it was quickly disbanded on his death. He hated the concept of the British Empire and campaigned tirelessly for its abolition. Today he is regarded as the founder of modern anti-colonialism.

Here is a combined bill and letter from a Cheese and Butter Merchant in London to a customer in Steyning, Sussex. Folded in the shape of an envelope and bearing postal markings of the time, it is dated 27th August 1776 (a momentous year in US history!). The Bill section refers to 3 Casks of fine white H:W (which may be casks of butter). The Letter part confirms receipt and despatch of an order and a reference to a meeting. Some age wear (not affecting text) but otherwise in remarkably good condition for an everyday document which is almost 227 years old! Would look great as a framed display item. Mentions Mr Danl.

Shermanbury is situated in West Sussex between Cowfield and Henfield, north of Brighton. The Indenture incorporates a schedule of the various fields and properties included within the title.(see scans) Nice old document, might be of particular interest to residents of Shermanbury and nearby villages. Lt-Colonel McKergow of the Sussex Yeomanry was Officer in Command of the 4/4th Battalion Queens Own Royal West Kent Regiment from 1st January 1917 until disbanded in 1919.

Two items, acquired simultaneously from the same source and most probably (but not certainly) relating to the same Wheelwrights shop and premises owned by the apparently long term Henfield residents the ‘Martin’ family. Surely the last Wheelwrights of Henfield. Henfield is between Brighton and Horsham near Cowfold, Hurstpierpoint etc. Of particular local history interest to present and former residents of Henfield, flint wall enthusiasts! ,and those interested in Wheelwrights generally. These are interesting evocative items which could benefit from research.

 

1) Handwritten letter headed ‘Memorandum’ dated 27th May 1840. Paper bears an ornate fleur-de-lis watermark and with the words (HA?) RRIS &TREMLETT 1837 also present in watermark alongside. The letter is signed by William Borrer of Henfield in the County of Sussex Esquire and John Martin of the same place Wheelwright, and reads (extract only) ……..’do hereby declare that the Brickwall which the undersigned William Borrer has at his own expense erected on the West Side of his Yard and Premises forming the East boundary of the undersigned John Martin’s House Yard and premises and also the Flint Wall which the undersigned William Borrer has also at his own expense erected at the North end of his garden and premises forming the South boundary of the undersigned John Martin’s yard and premises and……..etc. etc.’ Each page of this letter measures approx 12 inches x 7.5 inches and the letter almost fills three pages with the fourth side bearing the date and a brief description of the document. The letter is signed by William Borrer and John Martin and witnessed by Dawson Borrer. Item is in remarkably good condition with just a couple of pinholes and a few minor marks and Solicitors pencilling etc.

Relates to ‘all those pieces or parcels of land with the cottage farm buildings and hereditaments thereto belonging situate in the City of Chichester and in the Ecclesastical Parishes of Saint Peter the Great otherwise Subdeanery Saint Bartholomew and New Fishbourne in the County of Sussex as the same with abuttals and boundaries thereof are more particularly delineated and described in the plan annexed hereto and therein edged pink together with a right of way for all purposes in common with the said Richard Iltid Henty as his successors in title …along that portion of the road known as Salt Hill Lane coloured brown on the said plan and ..the new road known as Parklands Road..’ etc, etc.

 

This parchment Deed comprises 4 sides of narrative measuring approx. 24cms x 36cms (Say 9.5 ins x 15 ins) plus cover and a substantial Plan/Map measuring approx 47cms x 37cms (Say 19 ins x 15 ins) coloured blue green pink and brown.(see scan) The Deed bears the winessed signature of Mr H P Brazier together with the witnessed seal of Marine Park Estates and a separate receipting by Mr Brazier for the £20,000.

 

2) Assignment dated 17th November 1937 between Marine Park Estate (Worthing) Limited in liquidation and Ernest Edwin Cane (liquidator) to Parklands Estate (Chichester) Limited. This parchment document is the same dimensions as the 1935 deed, extends to three sides of narrative and cover plus a substantial Plan/Map headed ‘Parkland Estate Chichester Plan No.2’. The Map is more detailed than the 1935 Map and shows how the estate had developed in the previous two years. The Map has a scale which shows the land in question measures approx. 2,500 feet x 3,000 feet (say 800 metres x 1000 metres). Various Fields and Boundaries are shown together with dimensions in Acres, the Southern Railway Chichester and Midhurst Line and the partly developed roads Beech Avenue, Parklands Road, Cedar Drive, Walnut Avenue and Salthill Lane. The Map is coloured blue with red outlining.(see scan) The Deed bears the Company Seals of Marine Park Estates and Parklands Estate and the witnessed signature of Mr E E Cane.

 

The documents are in very good condition with just a few insignificant marks, solicitors’ pencillings etc. In common with other indenture conveyance documents etc. the deeds have been folded ‘in four’, to give folded dimensions of approx. 9 cms. x 24 cms. ( say 4 inches x 9.5 inches). Both documents were prepared by Messrs Charles, Malcolm. Wilson, Solicitors of Worthing.

 

The land covered by these deeds has subsequently been developed into the proposed Parklands Estate the early stage of which are revealed by the Maps. Sherborne Road, Flaxman Avenue Neville Road, Oliver Whitby Road, Barton Road, Hilary Road, Sherlock Avenue, Hannah Square, Langton Road, Wilson Close, Ashburnham Close, Oak Avenue, Oak Close etc. etc. are largely just fields.
