[Glemsford] Part of the Court
Rolls of the Manor of Peverells 1642-1645
In the booklet 'A Short History of
Glemsford' we read that "The Manor of Peverells was a very small
manor of only thirty acres.....It adjoined the parish of Cavendish and was
probably on the site of the present New Street Farm".
On offer we have what appears to be an original manorial roll, in manuscript on
6 sheets of paper and loosely bound together inside a protective parchment
covering sheet. The leaves measure approx 7"x 10" and consist of a rental
charge to be collected during the period 1642-1645. We haven't read
through it all but the second property assessed is in Egremont Street which
today is one of Glemsford's main streets. We also noted properties in
Freeman Street, a name which doesn't appear to have survived. Clearly at
one time this document was literally rolled up, but subsequently became
flattened by other paperwork. The result is that the papers, although in
quite good condition for their age, are all multifolded and would very much
benefit from careful flattening. The rentals list owners, the properties
assessed and the amounts due. Though just 6pp, there's some excellent
civil war period local history for this quite specific part of Suffolk.

The Monumental Inscriptions in the
Parish of Saint Matthew, Ipswich, Suffolk.
Compiled and annotated by the Rev
Francis Haslewood, AKC, Rector of S Matthew's, Ipswich, privately published 1884
and 'to be had only of the author'. 351pp inc index, folding plan of
churchyard. A methodical perambulation round the church and churchyard
listing all the inscriptions and supplementing some with detail from the parish
registers. Fortunately the index is in alphabetical order so looking for
ancestors is no problem. Original gilt embossed cloth boards, the spine
affected by damp & now quite threadbare - also affects the margins of the
boards, contents clean apart from first & last couple of leaves which are
extensively foxed. We've seen worse - but we've also seen better.
Fewer than 130 copies were subscribed for, so the print run could have been as
few as 200. Prices on the internet range from £45 up to £125 plus postage
on top - our price £30 post-free. NB cheap modern facsimile reprints are
being advertised on the internet in the region of £20. (ref 3255)

Extract from Confirmed Apportionment of the Rent Charge in Lieu of Tithes
Manuscript schedule listing 15 landowners together with a couple of dozen
occupiers and the 80-odd plots of land which are named, sized and annotated with
state of cultivation. Looks as though the schedule was drawn up in 1869
and may have been in use for reference purposes for many years as there are
numerous alterations in pencil - this lengthy use has resulted in much wear and
tear, particularly to the paper covers. We assume the schedule relates to
the whole parish, but that will be for the local historian to determine.
