Description

This is a wonderful piece of history in the form of a handwritten large Mortgage/Deed on parchment or vellum as shown in the images.

It is complete with various tax blind/stamps and more importantly the wonderful red wax seal impression in the form of a classical Roman type head. These seals were often clipped by dealers over the decades to sell or became damaged due to the brittle nature of the dried wax and/or poor handling.

This document has survived intact as it was in a solid wood frame and behind glass.

It measures 28 inches x 22 inches.

The two parties to this document were William and Robert Hudson.

William Tomblinson Hudson was born on 21 November 1820 in Silsden.
His father was Thomas Hudson and mother was Ann Spencer.

He married Mary Hudson on 6 January 1840, in Kildwick.
He died in February 1893, in Baildon and was buried in Silsden.

He would have been aged 40 when this deed/mortgage was prepared in 1860.

There are specific locations mentioned of the land being mortgaged but the beautiful copperplate handwriting is difficult to read. There is a mention of:

“from a certain close of land called Hogg Royd”

Please note that this document is over 160 years old so there is some minor fading of the ink. However, with a bit of patience the whole document can be read.

Free postage within in the UK is included.
