Title: | The John Marsh Collection of Title Deeds relating to the Hoare family estates in Wavendon and Aspley Guise, Beds |
Description: |
This collection of deeds relates to the Hoare family estate in Wavendon. Most are connected with the estate purchased by Henry Hugh Hoare from Lord Charles Fitzroy, 2nd son of the Duke of Grafton in 1797 (D168/5) which had passed successively through the Farr, Selby, and Shuttleworth families. Other purchases made by Henry Hugh Hoare are also to be found here, notably an estate of the Gregory family (D168/37/2) bought in 1808. Inevitably there are some deeds, catalogued last, relating to properties which became part of the estate, but the dates of acquisition of which are uncertain Note on provenance: These deeds formed part of a large accumulation purchased by the donor from a Dulwich junk dealer and were believed to have derived from the offices of a London solicitor. It seems possible that they strayed from Messrs. Tweedie, solicitors, of Lincolns Inn Fields whose deposit of other Wavendon deeds of the Hoare family 1616-1826, (BRO ref. D118) overlaps noticeably with the documents catalogued here. Later Hoare deeds from the same source are catalogued as D/X 589/2 A summary chronological list of the deeds was made in the 1960s by Heritage Documents, and they were received in bundles arranged mainly in that order D168/1-6 Whole estate Purchases etc. by the Farr Family D168/7 Messuage, 3 closes, 1 pightle (occup.
