Land Indenture Hampshire, England 1719 Book 12, Folder 4, L16 Report © 2013 Center for Family History and Genealogy at Brigham Young University. Land Indenture Hampshire, England 1719 Book 12, Folder 4, L16 Report CONDITION OF THE DOCUMENT This document is made of vellum, or processed animal skin, which is in good condition considering the age of the document. The document is written in ink which has not faded significantly over time. This document seems to be written by one scribe, as the document’s handwriting style never changes. At the top of this document, there is an elaborate stamp that marks it as a land indenture. Compared to the top portion, the bottom half of this document is more challenging to read because the lines were written closer together and is cramped. Also, the areas where this document has been folded repeatedly are very faded and the ink has worn away somewhat. DESCRIPTION OF THE HAND This document was written in a mix of Bastard Secretary and Secretary Hands which were commonly used during the late 15th century to the mid-16th century. At the time this document was written there was no standardized spelling in England, which accounts for the number of spelling variations used by the scribe. He also uses a number of abbreviations and medieval word practices. For example, capitalization and bold letters were used to draw attention to the important sections of the document.

ABSTRACT This document was written on the 16th day of October 1719 which was in the sixth year of the reign of King George I. King George’s reign lasted from 1 August 1714- 11 June 1727. The endorsement on the outside of this document is dated 12th October 1712. It states that this indenture is a mortgage of leaseholds. The endorsement also gives the names of the two witnesses of the indenture, who were John Castle and Edward Cox. The indenture states that it is an agreement between Richard Stormes, a yeoman of South Gorely, in the parish of Ibsley in the county of Hampshire and Charles Burt a butcher from Brooks Heath in the parish of Fordingbridge in the same county of Hampshire. It also, refers to two other men, one named John Litle who was from Moyles Court in the parish of Ellingham and the other named Walter Watts who was a yeoman. It appears that Richard Stormes made a lease agreement with John Litle on the 6th day of November 1696 and that before Walter Watts passed away he was in possession of the tenement. These two men were deceased by the time this indenture was made. Richard’s wife Elizabeth and his two sons Richard and William are also mentioned in the document. This indenture was written concerning fifteen acres of arable land in the common field of South Gorely, five of which are in meadow areas. Because of the wording contained in this document, namely, the phrases ‘demise, set and to farm let’ line [7] and the number of parties mentioned in this document it appears to be an assignment of Lease. The period of the leases seems to be for the life of the tenant or fourscore and nineteen years which is a total of 99 years. An entry fine of 105 pounds was paid by Charles Burt for the lease of the property. If he defaults on the lease he had to pay 107 pounds, 12 shillings and six pence. © 2013 Center for Family History and Genealogy at Brigham Young University. © 2013 Center for Family History and Genealogy at Brigham Young University. ANALYSIS This indenture is for a lease of fifteen acres of arable land. ‘Arable’ refers to land that is good for farming and growing crops. The parish of Ibsley, including the hamlets of South Gorley and Furze Hill in the north and Mock beggar and New Town in the south contains 1,793½ acres, of which 379¾ are arable land and 329 acres are permanent grass. The high road from Fordingbridge to Ringwood forms the main street of the village, which consists of thatched cottages grouped near the River Avon. Huckles Brook and Linwood Bog, tributaries of the Avon, run through the parish. The soil is chiefly sand and gravel.2 South Gorley is located in the western part of England and in that region of the country it was common for landlords to lease their property for life time leases. In this indenture the term of lease is for four score and nineteen years which is a life lease for 99 years. Some historians believe that the 99-year lease is a by-product of an old English custom, dating back at least to feudal times. In the Middle Ages, extended leases were made for a period of 1,000 years, but as the Renaissance approached, the figure was reduced to 999. In Henry IV, Part II, Shakespeare bends a metaphor around the thousand-year lease--"Now I am so hungry, that if I might have a lease of my life for a thousand years, I could stay no longer"-- In Lifeleasehold in the Western Counties of England 1650—1750, written by Christopher Clay, it states that “in the Western part of England landlords let their estates differently from what was normal elsewhere. In the east and the Midlands, if landlords granted leases at all (and many preferred annual tenancies), they almost invariably conveyed to the tenant the right to occupy the land for a fixed number of years which in normal circumstances did not exceed 2 'Parishes: Ibsley', A History of the County of Hampshire: Volume 4 (1911), pp. 579-580.

Also they almost invariably charged a rack rent that is a sum equivalent to the full annual value of the land.” This indenture makes no mention of rack rent or peppercorn rent. Instead, under the system of life leaseholds tenants were expected to purchase their tenancies by payment of lump sums known as fines. Thereafter they rendered only a small annual rent representing a mere fraction of what their land was worth. Not only did life leases last longer than those for years which prevailed in the east, but in practice they established hereditary tenancies since it was customary for landlords to allow automatic renewals. Indeed, in most districts where they prevailed, the final expiry of leases for lives or 99 years determinable upon lives was somewhat unusual. The normal practice was for each life to be ‘renewed’ upon payment of the appropriate fine when, or soon after, it had ‘dropped’, and only if a leaseholder was utterly in able to afford the fine, or had no heirs to succeed him, would he fail to keep his lease ‘filled up.’3 This indenture seems to be unique in that it names four different parties involved in the leasing of this specific area of land. One explanation for this can be found in the book by N.W. Alcock entitled, Old Title Deeds; A Guide for Local and Family Historians.

  • Cuckoo Hill Cottage, Off Ogdens Rd, South Gorley, Fordingbridge, SP6 2PP FREEHOLD PRICE GUIDE £175000
    SOUTH GORLEY, FORDINGBRIDGE Cuckoo Hill Cottage, off Ogdens Rd, South Gorley, Fordingbridge, SP6 2PP FREEHOLD PRICE GUIDE £175,000 A genuinely unique opportunity to buy a project backing onto the open forest set in just over an acre in need of complete renovation or redevelopment (subject to the necessary planning permissions) and is situated within the beautiful New Forest National Park which offers over 140,000 acres of heathland, and is a haven for a variety of outdoor activities. The former market town of Fordingbridge is approximately 3 miles from the property which offers a range of shopping, recreation and educational facilities. The more major towns of Salisbury and Bournemouth can be accessed via the A31/A338, whilst Southampton, Winchester and London can be accessed via the A31/M27/M3. Cuckoo Hill Cottage, as featured in The Book of North Gorley, requires complete renovation now, having been built we believe by Heywood Sumner just after the turn of the last century. In 1902 Sumner acquired a plot of land at Cuckoo Hill near South Gorley, on the east side of the Avon valley, and designed and built his ideal family house. Sumner lived at Cuckoo Hill from 1904 until his death in 1940 at the age of 87. The house is now a care home. The neighbouring "Cuckoo Hill Cottage" built within the grounds is now separated by a newly constructed close board fencing, clearly defining the new boundaries. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the great opportunity and location this property has to offer to develop your own gem in the forest.

    188 HAMPSHIRE FIELD CLUB BOTANICAL EXCURSION TO NOAR HILL N Wednesday, July 4th, a very successful excursion to Noar Hill in search of Orchids took place. This spot is very O little known ; it lies between Newton Valence and Empshott at an elevation of 696 feet, with beautiful views of all the country round. Old chalk diggings, overgrown with turf, form the happy hunting-ground for a large number of wild flowers.' A short local history thus speaks of it : " There was a hamlet or manor of Cures (a clerical error for Oures) lying within the Hundred of Selborne held by the wealthy Benedictine Abbey of Hyde at Winchester. In 1275, and again in 1334, it figures in the Hundred Rolls as the Manor of Ores held of the King ' in chief' by the Abbey ' in perpetual alms ' ; the little Manor remained in the possession of the Abbey till the Dissolution." Gilbert White writes of " Nore Hill, a noble chalk promontory, remarkable for sending forth two streams into two different seas. The one to the south becomes a branch of the Arun, and so falling into the British Channel ; the other to the north, the Selborne stream, makes one branch of the Wey and passes .... thus at the Nore into the German Ocean." According to the local history, " in old days the Lord of the Manor alone might dig chalk from the waste, and seems to have taken full advantage of his privilege if we may judge from the pock-marks on Noar Hill. Anyone else who had a fancy to do the same was liable to a fine of £20 per load." About 50 botanically inclined members turned up, the weather was all that could be desired, orchids were there in plenty, in fact, in places we walked over masses of the Musk Orchis.
