WARD 2c 1100-1662; 1891Court of Wards and Liveries: Deeds and Evidences
The series comprises deeds and evidences exhibited in cases heard before the Court of Wards and Liveries and not returned to their owners.
The exhibits include indentures, charters, final concords, quit claims, bonds, receipts, court rolls, rentals, letters of attorney, awards, agreements and a variety of notes and memoranda. These records refer to many families and estates chiefly in the English counties, with the occasional Welsh material, including the estates of the Poultney family from Leicestershire, the possessions of Lacock Abbey in Wiltshire, estates in Burnham in Norfolk and properties in Romney in Kent.
The earliest record is a grant of lands in Lincolnshire and the most recent is a note on transfer of records in the late 19th century.
