  • SP 271650-1659State Paper Office: Deeds and Other Miscellaneous Documents

    This series consists of 28 parchment documents which belong to the State Papers Domestic series of the Interregnum period (SP 18 to SP 28). The origin of the series is obscure, though it may have been one series with SP 26.

    Over half the documents are assignments of leases, most of them in London and its surrounding counties, though two relate to Irish lands. Only a few of the documents are connected; for example the three which concern the manor of Hemel Hempstead. One concerns a sale by the trustees for Crown Lands. There is a military commission and a very fine specimen order from the Committee of Safety to the commissioners of the Treasury to pay the officers.
