1733

ebay

A really old indenture in the reign of George the Second, relating to a house (or houfe as in the script) and garden in Stratford upon Avon dated 15th October 1733, the property of 'Champney's and wife' (Elizabeth and John). £12 changed hands. This is a little over a hundred years after Shakespeare's death and Stratford would not have been much changed in that period. The language is archaic and difficult to understand especially with the s's being written f. This on yellowing parchment paper with seals by each of the Champneys' names (Elizabeth has a mark, not a signature as she obviously was illiterate) at the bottom, in very good condition. In some places Champneys appears to be written Champnoys - spelling was a little haphazard in those days, particulary with surnames. Measures approx 27 x 16 inches. Also mentions Joseph Broom

1714 Beautiful printed vignette of the initial 'T' starts off this important Indenture This is a major document concerning the sale of the famous Manor of Alspath (also called Meriden) plus other land. There are six seals with signatures belonging to Elizabeth Holbech, Anthony Bloxham and William Halford, amongst others. Also still in place (and incorporating the silver tag) are the two Revenue Stamps on the blue strip. The Manor of Alspath is famous for being once held by Lady Godiva who rode naked through the streets of Coventry. This is in excellent condition for a manuscript nearly 3 Centuries old. There are 28 full lines of script written in the English of the day and despite some areas of fading I believe the whole document is decipherable. One small hole on the letter 'n' 4th line down does not hinder translation. The text itself is in the clearest handwriting I have seen for a document of this age, which should also help. This document was handwritten in Old English with a quill pen using sepia ink on vellum (calf skin) parchment. (Unusually the texture of the animal skin is very noticeable along the whole top rear portion). The whole document is in sound condition even along the folds, there are no tears on these folds which is unusual for its age. The good condition is due to it being kept folded for centuries. This is a very thick vellum and can be unfolded with ease without fear of it tearing. The document starts :-

" This Indenture made the Seventh & twentith day of Aprill in the thirteenth year of the reigne of our Soveraigne Lady Anne of Great Brittaine France and Ireland Queen defender of the faith ........ One Thousand Seven Hundred and Fourteen "

There are further signatures on the back of Witnesses to the document. There is also a further 3 lines of script on the reverse near the bottom, but this may be difficult to decipher as the back is grubbier. THE DOCUMENT MEASURES :- 25.5cm  X  12.5cm Also signed by Sarah Bloxam.

genuine old legal document dtaed 23rd October 1854. It is all hand written on vellum parchment which was in typical use during that time. I rescued it from being thrown out of a solicitors office. It measures approx.65cm wide and about 43cm deep. The writing is perfectly legible and quite easy to read although the words are a bit esoteric. It is a deed which has the effect of transferring back to the borrower certain land which was transferred to the lender as security for a loan of £200. This was before the modern concept of a mortgage which was introduced in 1925. The deed is made between William Joseph Woodhams of Napton Warwickshire, who had loaned the money, and John Smith of Flecknoe who then repaid the money and took the land back. The land is near Flecknoe, which, as you may know is near Rugby in Warwickshire. A John Charles Read is also mentioned but I can't work out why. The document has sealing wax seals and bears a stamp duty imprint from Southam for five shillings. It is in very good condition. It has been stored folded but it probably hasn't been looked at for a hundred and fifty years.

An entire headed ‘Pitfour 13 April 1830’ and written by a ‘ Jas Young’ is addressed to ‘John Robinson Esq of Pitfour, Post Office, Leamington, Warwickshire’. Inside is a fascinating detailed account written in a small clear hand over three plus pages of the daily work done on the farm and gardens as well work done by the carpenters and even an account of the weather between march 22nd and April 10th 1830. The following are excerpts to give some idea of the detail:

‘Farm

The letter finishes:

‘The Annie cow, which stands next the door, calved on Sunday a very large bull calf, it is from Lord Gray’s Ayrshire Bull…….I hope you have got safe & well back to Leamington and found Mrs Richardson and Miss Kay still in a convalescent state. I am sir…..You most obedient servant

Pitfour Castle in Perthshire was designed by Robert Adam and built for the weathy merchant John Richardson in 1784.
