[Shaw of Colchester]  17th Century Document
This document, signed by John Shaw in the year 1690-1, releases his brother Thomas Shaw [also of Colchester] from all claims '.....from the beginning of the world unto the day of the date of these presents....'.  It could be the settling of some quite serious dispute or merely a legal 'full-stop' on a simple property agreement - in isolation we can only speculate what brought about this document.  Manuscript on paper, approx 8"x11".  Nice condition, signed by John Shaw and two witnesses, nice clear wax seal.  (ref 197/3)  £24.00 post-free

This 1728 mortgage was taken out by Ashdon labourer John Chapman on 'all that his messuage or tenement with the outhouses yards gardens...scitutate [sic] lying and being in the Hamlet called Steventon End in the parish of Ashdon....'.  It appears that when the money was repaid (1738) John Chapman's 1728 mark and seal were cut away to void the document.  Parchment, single sheet.  (ref 236/14)  £15.00 post-free

[Aveley document]  Abstract of Title to House in Lowlands Road
This multi-page document sheds much light on the development of the general area bounded by Lowlands Road, Toplands Avenue, Blenheim Gardens and Purfleet Road.  The area now covered in houses was in Victorian times Parsonage Farm, and before that a park.  The only road was Water Lane, now called Purfleet Road.  Although specifically drawn up to prove ownership of 2 Lowlands Road, this 1953 document will be of interest to anyone studying the history and development of Aveley.  Typescript on 18 large paper sheets (there is inevitably much repetition in the wording when referring back to previous documents) accompanied by 2 extremely useful sketch maps.  Covers the period 1886 to 1953.  (ref 658/65)  £18.00

[Barking document]  Conveyance of Land at Creekmouth
This 1920 document concerns 9 acres of land at Barking or False Point.  The land was bought (and the documents signed) by Hyla Edward Elkins of Finchley for £8000.  The documents  includes a hand-coloured plan which shows the site in question to be on the North Bank of the Thames.  Manuscript on parchment.  (ref 475/38)

[Great Coggeshall documents]  Deeds to Cottages in Back Lane
A useful collection of deeds spanning the years 1815 to 1911 concerning a plot of land on the North side of Back Lane which by 1824 had had 4 cottages built on it by local builder Matthias Gardner.  An 1894 deed concerns 'two other more recently erected cottages or tenements adjoining the last described cottages'.  Throughout much of the 95 years covered by these deeds the properties were in mortgage.  Several deeds identify the cottages by naming former tenants/occupiers, so in conjunction with the various censuses it should be possible to pinpoint their exact location.  A total of 10 parchment deeds.  (ref 658/46)  £65.00

[Harlow]  Chaplin & Co - The Harlow Brewery - Articles of Partnership
2 sets of Articles dated 1890 and 1899.  It would appear the Harlow Brewery was formerly run by Thomas Chaplin, and his death in 1890 prompted the Articles in which Frederic Edwards and Frederick Chaplin Edwards became partners.  Fresh Articles were drawn up in 1899 to admit Frederick Edwards (who was by then deceased)'s son Arthur B Edwards as a new partner.  The earlier of the documents contains a 2pp schedule of Essex and Hertfordshire public houses leased by the company and a 2pp list of fixtures, fittings and equipment at the brewery.  Manuscript on paper.  (ref 21/46)   £18.00 post-free

[Horndon-on-0the-Hill document]  Gift of Land
This deed concerns a small plot of land on the outside of the bend where Hillcrest Road becomes Oxford Road.  Then just a field, it was given to the Roman Catholic Church, presumably due to its proximity to the adjacent RC Church of the Sacred Heart.  The donor, Alice Green of Horndon Priory, would no doubt be shocked to discover so many changes have happened since her 1949 gift - the church demolished and the site now occupied by a house; the field she donated also built-on; that part of Hillcrest Road reduced to a grass track.  Typescript on paper.  (ref 658/66)  £18.00

This 1772 deed records the leasing of 3 fields (one of them known as Three Acre Field) by locals William Collis (gentleman) and Joseph Wyatt (victualler) for an intended 22 years.  The lease was from Rebecca Buckle of Stepney, Middlesex, though we have a feeling she must have moved there from Rochford.  Single large parchment sheet, bears the signature Rebeca [sic] Buckle but the seal has been callously cut away.   In view of the damage (ref 0000)  £12.50 post-free

The 4 1764 deeds are on parchment, the rest on paper. Clearly some event in 1766 (an imminent sale, perhaps) triggered off the copying of the earlier 5 deeds. All items are now well over 200 years old and are still in very nice condition. The property was known alternatively by the name Fambridge Lands but there is no obvious connection with the nearby parishes of North & South Fambridge.

[Upton Park document]  Abstract of Title to Property at Green Street
This abstract was drawn up in 1893 as a consequence of the bankruptcy of John Frost, a Whitechapel dairyman, who'd acquired the property in 1868.  He seems always to have been in financial difficulties as much of the documentation detailed in the abstract concerns borrowing from Peter to pay Paul.  The actual property isn't specifically described other than being on the East side of Green Street, but a sketch plan compared with a modern A-Z would seem to put it somewhere between the today's Redclyffe Road (shown on the sketch plan as 'Proposed Road') and Tudor Road.  18 large paper sheets with a 19th as the covering sheet.  (ref 658/70)  £18.00
