You are bidding on a very old & interesting document entitled "This Indenture" and dated 24th June 1831. The Document contains lovely Old Hand written script of approx 5000 words together with a large hand drawn detailed area map and schedule, spread over 6 pages of old document paper. The six sheets are fixed together at the base with tiny hand tied bows. This Indenture will be of special interest to those living within the districts of Kidderminster, Stourbridge or Bewdley, Within the county of Worcester, As it outlines the Purchase, Release & conveyance of the Freehold part of the Kinfare Hill estate with a covenant to surrender the Copyhold part thereof. The Indenture was made between Thomas Comber Raybold of the village of Kinfare, in the county of Stafford and William Foster of Wordesley House, In the parish of Kingswinford, In the said county of Stafford. The contents of the indenture, detail the purchase of approximatly 200 acres of land in the village of Kinfare, Comprising of Farm land, Dwellinghouses and forestry, Some being Freehold (A property held free from duty, Except to the king) and some being Copyhold (A species of estate or right of holding land, according to the custom of a manor, by copy of the roll originally made by the steward of the lords court). The purchase price of £10,000 was agreed for the Land, which was exclusive of the timber and trees growing therein. Due to the exceptional quantity of land being purchased, It was necessary for a value to be placed upon the forestry. The timber and trees were valued at £870 and the vendor demanded the full sum of £10,870 of lawful money for the entire estate (An exceptional amount of money in its day). The full page schedule & map referred to and included within this indenture has been drawn to scale, The scale being in "chains" which is an old unit of measurement. The map indicates a detailed study of the lands and boundries of the individual parcels of land being purchased. The schedule, being part of the map, Details the "Modern" names of the individual parcels of land, 29 in total in black ink. Whilst the other half of the schedule lists the same 29 parcels of land, Giving the "Ancient" names of the fields in red ink. Also included are six Blue Revenue stamps and Worcester ink "crown stamps" dated between 8th September 1830 and 25th November 1830. Due to the vast amount of money involved in this purchase, There is a £75 Blue duty stamp on the first page, which is a considerable amount of duty to have paid, which may make the stamp of some rarity and therefore collectable. The other five pages carry duty stamps of the average value of £1. At the foot of the document, there is a red wax seal. This is a very interesting and unusual indenture, Concidering the scale of the purchase,(Possibly one of the largest purchases of 1830), And the details indicated in the schedule and map. A nice old original folded document, consisting of six pages. Measures 30" x 24" with clear handwriting and in good condition for its age, Some 172 years old.

It is my pleasure to offer this English, six-page, five-red seal, hand-drawn marriage settlement / indenture. I would guess it's on vellum, but it could be sheepskin or some other skin ... I'm not knowledgeable enough to tell them apart. I've only had opportunity to read a relative few lines of the document to get the gist of the circumstance, and will attempt here to give you my interpretation, though it could be far off the mark. There's a LOT of reading here for you to untangle to define the circumstance! As I understand it, the document was drawn upon the upcoming marriage of Edward Vincent Wheeler, of Newham Court in the County of Worcester, to Miss Marian Vashon of Bevere Knoll, County of Worcester. Interestingly, she was described in the legal document as "spinster, an infant of the age of 20 years to thereabouts." She was the daughter of the late Rev. James Volant Vashion and Mary Ann Vashon. Apparently (and as I said, I could be mistaken on this) he was signing over control of several estates he stood to inherit to Sir William Smith and Rev. George Ranier, who in turn would lease them for 99 years to Colonel John Colvin of the Honorable East India Companies. A Rev. Henry Browne was also involved, apparently as a clerk or representative of Colvin. In return, the soon-to-be newlyweds and his widowed mother (Anna Wheeler of Cheltenham in the County of Glouster (sp?) would receive regular trust payments from the arrangement. Another relative, Frances Wheeler of Newham Court, would also share in the trust.  The couple would receive 300 pounds quarterly from the trust. At least that's the arrangement as I guess it. I left much of the truth of the puzzle -- 97% of it -- for you to figure out. The properties involved included Kyrewood House and Farm, Eastham Church or Court Farm, a farm in the Parish of Richford, a farm called Terrills (sp.?) in Tenbury (sp.?), the Hole Farm, various cottages, orchards and fields (all identified, like "Castle Tump Meadow"). I don't pretend to understand all the stamps and seals applied to this document. There are five red wax seals beside the signatures of the principals (click on third scan to enlarge), plus each page has stamps on blue paper with metal( see fourth scan), with a stamp stuck to the reverse of each (see fifth scan). The roughly 21.5x27" sheets are folded at bottom and tied together with ribbon. The document is in fair to good condition. It is rumpled and pretty much refuses to lay flat (is that a sign it's skin as compared to vellum?).  Apparently it was folded long ago, but I'd hate to try to refold it, so it will be shipped to you flat. The outside sheet has moderate soiling and staining over about 40 or 50% of the surface, the worst of this being a dark dampstain. There's some light dampstaining or soiling over 10-20% of the last sheet, while the rest of the pages are mostly clean and white.
