Farming - Yorkshire & Sussex. Large file of correspondence to a London based Cutler named George Lawcock 1790's -1818, the majority of the letters dealing with his own and his relative's farms in Yorkshire and Sussex. A fascinating vernacular correspondence providing considerable information on farming conditions, prices and production during the Napoleonic era. Lawcock appears to be a very successful cutler, operating out of premises in Ball Alley off Lombard Street in the City of London . The majority of the letters are from his brother, a farmer in Borroughbridge, North Yorkshire, reporting on day to day matters, including market prices for crops, cattle etc. At least one letter alludes to the tough market conditions brought about by the Napoleonic wars. There are also letters from agents and other associates dealing with his search for farms in the south of England, with one dealing with his interest in buying a Windmill near Lewes in Sussex. Other papers include a doctor's bill for attending Lawcock over a period of five years, a lottery ticket dated 1792, tax return forms, and an interesting London Sewer Rate certificate for 1792.

Yorkshire Spring Water. Scarce vellum manuscript document dated July 12th 1788, for the sale of 'All that spring or springs of water' in Saddleworth Yorkshire. A historic document in the development of the mill towns of Yorkshire. The agreement is between John Harrop the Younger, described as a Merchant of Dobeross in Saddleworth and Henry Whitehead the Older and Younger, described as Clothiers. They are leasing a spring known as 'The Old Intack' described as 'so deep that neither a plow nor spade will reach the covers' at a place identified as The Brow. It also involves the lease of a mill and machinery. In the days before steam and electricity the only source of power was the enormous amounts of water available on the moors. This document effectively chronicles the emergence of the developing mill industry which became synonymous with this part of Yorkshire and which was to be the main source of prosperity until the 1960's

Scarce writ of haberi facias seisinam to the Escheator of Yorkshire, dated February 21st, 1634, written on vellum, some fading to text but legible throughout, still retaining a portion of the Great Seal of Charles I The writ commands that property, including 100 acres of land in North Cowton, North Yorkshire, be handed over to Anthony Myles, son of Richard Myles, who had died at the age of 32 in 1632 - thus the document settles the succession of the estate from father to a son, who, in view of his father's early age must have been a minor at the time. North Cowton is today a village just off the B1263 between Richmond and Darlington. Documents of this nature are scarce on the market.

Als of an early colliery owner in Yorkshire, Michael Scrimshire, to his sister in Nottingham, 1p, folio, dated April 26th 1756, in fine, legible and clean condition with postal mark of 'Fere Bridge' An interesting letter in which Scrimshire says that he has just come from Tong where he had been for a few days, and that the had let all the ploughing ground to his tenants. He then continues, ' I yesterday met Mr Stanhope and Mr Tempest's executors at Leeds and also Mr Humble to make an end of the affair about the colliery at Tong..Mr Stanhope has made his award and ordered us to pay Humble & Co for the 'houses' and pitts.' This would appear to be an extremely early reference to coal mining in West Yorkshire - an activity which began with the Romans but which did not gain real impetus until the late 18th c and then again in the middle of the 19th c. Tong is today part of Bradford.

The document lists various payments including those to the poor at Wentworth and Harwood as well as a payment of œ400 to 'My Lady', and provides information on the revenue due out of 'Wentworth Colepitts'. Various named individuals are listed, such as 'William Bower and Robert Fotter' who are listed as servants at Wentworth. Strafford succeeded to the title on the execution of his father, Charles I's chief Minister, whose death was demanded by Parliament and which was given to them in a supreme act of appeasement by the King. Wentworth Castle is now a Further Education College north of Sheffield.

The Journal of Marmaduke Strother of Burmantofts Hall, Leeds, c. 1780, manuscript in a neat legible hand on 88p, original vellum boards, two manuscript letters tipped in, and approximately 45 drawings and maps in his hand, some aging to binding, but interior in fine fresh condition, folio. A remarkable journal, providing considerable genealogical information on the Strother family, one of whom was Mayor of Ripon from 1681-97 and another who took part in the American war of Independence and married a 'squaw' at Fort Mobile in Florida. There are a number of observations on native Americans and comments on George Washington. The journal chronicles Strother's early life, growing up at Burmantofts Hall, and tells of hard times after being swindled by an Alderman of Leeds. The journal also gives a very detailed account of an outbreak of Smallpox in 1811 and of particular interest are the considerable number of astrological charts and writings, including extracts from letters from his astrologer Joseph Powell. The hand drawn illustrations include a fine astrological chart of the heavens (in need of repair), plus various maps and views.

Remarkable letter from William Chaloner from Guisborough to his attorney at Leek in Staffordshire, dated April 20th, 1746, including a long reference to the state of the Highland Rebels and predicting an inevitable battle, written in a fluent legible hand, fine seal in black wax, straightline Northalerton mark, with direction on address panel 'by Stone bag', 1p, folio. The Battle of Culloden had actually taken place five days before this letter was written, but with the lack of instant communication in those days, Chaloner would not have known this. He comments that '...the rebels have met their match Gen Bland having forced his way across the River Spey and cut a great many to pieces several hundreds have surrendered up their arms to him and gone about their affairs with a partdon to go and cultivate their lands...' He also comments on the dreadful state of the Highland Army, saying that they are 'obliged to eat horse and dog flesh' and that 'they neither will, nor dare fight against that deavelish mann cauld Wolly Cumberland, which I really believe to be true'. He then goes on to say that 'last Tuesday the two armies were within eight miles of each other so that a battle must be either by this or in a few dayes, provided they will stand.' he also reports on a vast army transported from London by ship landing in Newcastle to bolster Cumberland's already considerable force of 15,000. A remarkable and extremely scarce letter, which gives a vivid picture of the end of the grant enterprise of Bonnie Prince Charlie and the fate of his Highland followers. It also reinforces the fact that the majority of the army didn't want anything to do with the Rebellion, and it is interesting that even at this late stage of the Rebellion those who deserted the cause were pardoned and returned to their lands.

Important manorial document, dated 1696, being the list of constables and jurors to serve the manor of Kingston on Hull, document written in latin on paper, slight dusting but otherwise in good condition, 8pp, folio. An intriguing name which appears on the list is that of Erasmus Darwin - the same name as the father Charles Darwin. Possibly an ancestor of the great scientist ?

Three important documents, early 19th c., the first entitled the Customs of the Forest Honor of Knaresbrough 1803, the second being the Practice of the court of General Session of the Peace for the West Riding of the County of Yorkd dated 1801 and the third being a survey of the lands and borough of Knaresborough dated 1837. The first two documents are bound together. In the first there is a comprehensive listing of procedures to be adopted in various legal situations, such a inheritance of a tenancy if the sitting tenant loses his life as a result of being convicted of a crime. The second document lays down the practices to be adopted in the court of Sessions and the third document provides comprehensive information on land owners and occupiers in the area in the year of the accession of Queen Victoria.
