The charter gave'Ten pounds value of land in Longdendale, that is Clossop, with the church that is there and with all things and land belonging to it, just as llilliam Peveril held it in the time of King Henry my grandfather'.' During the fourteenth century the abbey added steadily to its lands in the district including Charleswortll Simmondley, Chunal and Chisworth. Towards the end of the fifteenth century, the abbot leased all his rights in the manor of Glossop to John of Hallam who had become the first earl of Shrewsbury irr 1442. It was thus natural that, on the dissolution of the monasteries in 1537, Hen-ry VIII granted the possessions to George Talbot, fifth earl of Shrewsbury, as part of extensive grants.2 The extent of the manor was greatly increased when, towards the end of the sixteenth cenfury, the earl of Shrewsbury purchased from Elizabeth an extensive part of Longdendale, which was formally disafforested.

  • Deeds of New Mills and District
    NEW MILLS HISTORICAL NOTES No. 17 More Deeds of New Mills and District by R.M.BRYANT and EILEEN MILLER Introduction This is a second collection of abstracts of deeds and related documents held by New Mills Local History Society (The first collection was published as New Mills History Notes No. 10.) Among items of special interest presented here are some sale particulars and maps which show the centre of New Mills in 1859, and some 18th century documents which give details of a large estate (including Strines Hall and most of the hamlet of Brookbottom) acquired by the Egerton family of Tatton Hall. As in the previous collection, we have included in the abstracts all the information which seemed likely to be useful. So consultation of the original documents should be unnecessary for most purposes. If necessary, however, they can be consulted through the Honorary Archivist of the Society. The name and address of the current Archivist can be obtained from New Mills Public Library, or from the Society’s website. The reader who is puzzled by such legal terms as "common recovery", "fee simple", etc., may find it helpful to consult such books as A. A. Dibben's "Title Deeds, 13th-19th Centuries" and Julian Cornwall's "How to Read Old Title Deeds XVI-XIX Centuries". Proper names (of people and places) have been spelt in the abstracts exactly as they are spelt in the original documents. We have used a., r., and p. as abbreviations for acres, roods, and perches. (Sometimes the documents specify the type of acre - we have not reproduced this information.) We have used round brackets (...) in the abstracts for purposes of punctuation only.
