Title | HUMPHREY MORICE: TITLE DEED - SALE OF LAND IN THE PARISH OF ALLER, SOMERSET |
Date | c.1653 - 1660 |
Admin History | At the time of cataloguing it was found that the land originally belonged to Henry Hastings, Earl of Huntingdon. His heirs sold the land to John Stowell, a royalist who lost his lands in the civil war. These lands were then sold following an Act of Parliament in 1653. Of the names mentioned in the deed, [Younge] has a connection to the Morice family, through the marriage of Walter [Yonge] and Gertrude Morice, the cousin of Humphrey Morice. A document of 1723 details the sale of the estate of Netherham, once belonging to John Stowell, by Humphrey Morice. |
Description | Indenture relating to the sale of land of John Stowell, possibly including the manor of Netherham. The document contains a large number of names relating to previous owners of the land. The year is obscured due to damage, however 18 October is legible. |
