[Hewett family] Abstract of Title to
[unstated] Property in Moreton Morland & Eagle
This undated but evidently 17th century abstract gives very brief details of
land transactions ranging from 18Eliz [1576] to 19Car2 [1668]. William [described as
Citizen] was the first of several Hewetts to be involved in these properties and is
mentioned as acquiring the lands by conveyance in 35Eliz [1593]. Later on there is hint of
a challenge that this 'conveyance' was merely a lease. Little information can be gleaned
about the Hewetts, though William had two sons, John and Solomon. William also seems to
have had a brother [Sir] John who somehow acquired the rights to the properties.
Manuscript on paper which, as folded, became stuck together and has been holed by careless
unfolding with the loss of some text. However, abstracts of this age are unusual. (ref

[Boston, Sutterton & Friskney
document] Sale Particulars of Farm, Houses, Shops & Land
Printed particulars for the 1855 sale of:
Sutterton - several fields and a farmhouse (about 80 acres in all) near Sutterton Station
tenanted by John Cutforth.
Friskney - a very small plot of land tenanted by William Harrison.
Boston - a shop, house & premises in Wide Bargate & Mastin's Row, occupied by
Thomas Atkinson and James Pindard.
- 4 cottages in
Cheapside (Smith, Botterill, Brown, Ward).
- 4 more cottages
in Cheapside (Widow Allen, Miss Hildred, Messrs Kelly and Bean).
- 2 cottages in
Fountain Lane (Mrs Ridlington & Serjeant Ledsham).
Quite a dilapidated state, worn and torn along old folds and almost in 3 pieces, also
quite grubby and waterstained. From the manuscript annotations it seems clear this
is the auctioneer's own copy used to record prices and purchasers of the various lots
comprising the Sutterton property. The redeeming feature is the plan of the
Sutterton property. There doesn't appear to have been a plan showing the Boston
properties - if there was (and we think not) it hasn't survived. Half price due to
condition. (ref 637/32) £9.00 post-free within UK

[Gosberton and Quadring] Abstract
of Title to Lands
This undated but approx 1817 abstract lists details of property deeds and
documents, and the parties involved, going back to 1687, when Henry Brown bought 'one
moiety or half part of a decayed house and yard with a barn and a moiety of one acre of
arable ground (more or less) thereto adjoining lying against the Cross in Westhorpe in
Gosberton....'. In 1695 he bought the other half. The following year he
bought'all that messuage one cottage and 12 acres of land arable & pasture.....in the
several parishes of Gosberton als Gosberkirke & Quadring.....'. In his 1704 will
Henry Brown left the property to 'my only daughter Margaret Browne a barn and one acre and
a halfe of hempland lying under the same where a house formerly stood lying in
Gosberton.....next a place called Cold Hurn Barr and the Queen's Highway north and west
and the lands of Edward Haw east allsoe two acres of pasture lying in Quadring in the said
county of Lincoln between the lands of Mr Toller south and the Lord George north and
abutts upon the lands of the said Mr Toller west and a way leading to Dunstoft east Allsoe
three acres of pasture called by the name of the Brick Lampe pasture whereof one acre lies
in Quadring aforesaid and the other two acres in Gosberton aforesaid.....Alsoe two acres
more of pasture lying in Quadring.....Also five acres and a half of arable and pasture
called by the name of Dunstoft lying in Gosberton.....'. All this was to remain in
the family for many years - Henry Brown's daughter Margaret married John Northon and on
her death in 1781 the property was left to her son Edward. Edward died about 1793
unmarried and left the property to his sister Ann Buckworth. However it seems the
property somehow devolved to Foaker relatives as this abstract was drawn up with the
eventual aim to sell the property - which had been in the same family for well over 100
years. Manuscript on 12 large paper sheets with a 13th as the covering sheet.

[Owmby document] Abstract of Title to
The Carr
This 1850 abstract of title provides details of deeds going back to an 1809
lease and release, which in their turn refer back to a 1773 lease & release. In
1809 this 13 acre plot of land was called the Oxpasture Carr Close - it is also referrred
to as simply Carr Close - and in 1831 it was still shown as being 13 acres so we can take
it that this 1850 abstract provides a 77 year potted history of the various owners &
interested parties such as mortgagees. Principal names are Hinton (1773), Fawcett
(1787), Burwell (1809), Bromhead (1826) and Dudding (1831). The abstract is in
manuscript on 22 large paper sheets with a 23rd as the covering sheet. (ref 384/1)
