OF THE PARISH OF SAINT ANDREW IN HOLBORN IN THE COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX, CHEESEMONGER AND ROBERT GIBSON OF LANCASTER IN THE COUNTY OF LANCASTER AND THOMAS SHEPHERD OF KENDALL IN THE COUNTY OF WESTMORLAND. DOTH GRANT BARGAIN SELL THE MANNOR MESSUAGES LANDS TENAMENTS. ALL THAT MANNOR OR LORDSHIP OF NATEBY WITH ALL ITS RIGHTS AND MANSION HOUSE - NATEBY HALL AND WINDMILL AND KILNE. INFORMATION FOR COLLECTORS: Nateby  Nateby township is said to have been the tenure of the family of Travers of Tulketh to as far back as the reign of Henry I. Laurence Travers, who lived soon after that reign, was succeeded by eleven generations. Nateby appears to be in the possesion of William Travers in 1524 and 1559, and Richard Travers is recorded as holding Nateby Hall in 1557. The greater part of the township was divided at the time of the duke of Hamiltons sale, the balance being sold to a number of people by Mr. Hand around 1800. At Nateby in the "Over Wyre" district between Garstang and the parish of Pilling, a large concerted research programme which involves several universities is being undertaken right now. This came about because of the discovery of a Roman road under a lawn in a private garden; it appears to point to a major site of ancient occupation which had previously only been guessed at. The archeologists are reported to have identified several woodhenges; a large fish pond, many underground chambers and several roads, both Roman and pre-Roman. GUARANTEED ORIGINAL AND IN GOOD CONDITION  - SOME WEAR TO FOLDS -  SIZE 23 INCHES BY 19 INCHES ON ONE SHEET OF FOLDED VELLUM WITH THREE BLUE PAPER EMBOSSED REVENUE STAMPS AND ONE RED WAX SEAL.
