Harvington Lodge 002         Declaration made by John Marshall dated 25th July 1853.

[Title sheet (hl002a):]
Dated 25 July 1853
Declaration of Mr John
Marshall as to identify of the
Copyhold Estate of Mr Thomas
Gould Marshall situate at Harvington
in the County of Worcester.
[Page 1 (hl002b):]
In the matter the title of Mr
Thomas Gould Marshall to a Copyhold Estate
called "The Harvington Lodge Estate" situate
in the parish of Harvington in the County of
Worcester
I John Marshall of the Parish of Harvington in the County
Worcester Gentleman do solemnly and sincerely declare that I am of the
age of sixty seven years and upwards the greater part of which time has been
spent in the said Parish where I have farmed my own Copyhold Estate
That I have during that time been constantly in the habit of attending
Court Barons and Customary Courts held by the Dean and Chapter of Worcester the
Lords of the Manor of Harvington for the said Manor That I well know
and am perfectly acquainted with all the Estates in the said Parish both as
regards their boundaries divisions or enclosures state of cultivation and
also the acreage contained in each estate That I know the Estate called
the Harvington Lodge Estate and remember it being occupied for a period of
years by the late Mr Wilson Marshall as his own Estate partly Copyhold and
partly Freehold the Copyhold portion thereof being held under the said Dean
and Chapter of Worcester by the usual Court Rolls and on his death in the year
One thousand eight hundred and seven the said Estate became the property
of Mr Thomas Gould Marshall the eldest Son of the said Wilson Marshall
under the provisions of his will who as I have been informed and verily
believe has recently sold the said Estate to Mr Benjamin Bomford the younger
of Pitchill Farm in the Parish of Salford Priors in the County of Warwick the
present Occupier thereof And I further declare [insert] that the said Thomas Gould
Marshall now and has been since the year 1844 a widower and] that the said Harvington
Lodge Estate as to the Copyhold portion thereof is held under two sets of Copies of
Court Roll each Copy being held for two lives in possession and two in reversion
according to the custom of the said Manor and that the lands and tenements
held thereunder are shortly distinguished as 'Lowes' and 'Moggs' That
being one of the lives upon which the said Copyhold Estate is holden I was
present at a Court Baron of the said Dean and Chapter held for the said
Manor of Harvington on the twenty sixth day of April One thousand eight
hundred and fifteen at which Court Robert Lunn Stephen Lunn myself
the said John Marshall then called John Marshall the younger and Thomas
Marshall (being the cestui que vies in the part of the said Copyhold Estate
called Lowes) surrendered into the hands of the Lords the possession and
reversion of the said Copyhold Estate called Lowes by the following description
that is to say One Messuage and half yard land late of William Lowe
One Messuage and half yard land native also Lowe One Messuage and half
yard land native formerly Adams Six acres of land native formerly Shayde
One yard land demesne late of Thomas Sell One Messuage and five
sellions of land late of the said William Lowe with the appurtenances
in Harvington aforesaid And also at the same Court John Payton my
Father John Marshall the elder George Lunn and myself then called John
Marshall the younger being the cestui que vies in the part of the said
[Page 2 & 3 (hl002c):]
Copyhold Estate called Moggs surrounded into the hands of the Lords as
well the possession as the reversion of the said Copyhold Estate distinguished as
Moggs by the following description that is to say One Messuage and one yard
land formerly Mogg one Cottage and one acre and half of land native tenure
at Townsend One Cottage and Curtilage formerly Tomes One Messuage and
one yard land formerly Careless and Thomas Smith and one Messuage and
one yard land formerly Lowes with the appurtenances in Harvington
and these surrenders were made upon occasion of a Mortgage executed by
the said Thomas Gould Marshall in favour of one Elizabeth Gould and the
Lords regranted the same Copyhold Estate to the old lives In trust for the said
Elizabeth Gould Mortgagee of the said premises And I declare that the said
Estate is now divided into different enclosed Grounds which contain the
quantities and are known by the names contained in the schedule hereunder
written and in consequence thereof and of the extreme antiquity of the description
contained in the Court Rolls I verily believe it cannot now be ascertained
what lands are held under one copy and what under the other That I have
lately gone over the said Estate and carefully examined it with the tracing
or plan to this my Declaration annexed and having so examined the same
I declare that to the best of my belief all the land and hereditaments
enclosed within the outside boundaries of the said plan (as well as a little
piece of land in the parish of Harvington not delineated therein) were for
several years within my recollection held occupied and possessed by the said
Wilson Marshall deceased and after his death which happened in the year One
thousand eight hundred and seven were held by the said Thomas Gould
Marshall and now by the said Benjamin Bomford and the same are
commonly reputed and believed by all parties conversant with the said Parish
to be the lands and hereditaments which were comprised in the two before
mentioned Grants both having date the twenty sixth day of April One thousand
eight hundred and fifteen And I make this solemn Declaration conscientiously
believing the same to be true and by virtue of the provisions of an Act made and
passed in the fifth and sixth year of the reign of the late Majesty King William
the fourth intituled An Act to repeal an Act of the present session of Parliament
intituled "An Act for the more effectual abolition of Oaths and Affirmations
"taken and made in various departments of the state and to substitute Declaration
"in lieu thereof and for the more entire suppression of voluntary and extrajudicial
"Oaths and Affidavits and I make other provisions for the abolition of
"unnecessary Oaths."

[Reverse side (hl005b):]
Whereas by Indenture of Statutory Release bearing date the third day
of December One Thousand eight hundred and fifty three the Messuage Farm
lands and hereditaments called or known as the Harvington Lodge Estate containing in
the whole One hundred and seventy two acres and twelve perches or thereabouts and
heretobefore the property and Estate of the late Wilson Marshall deceased were for the
valuable considerations in the said Indenture mentioned conveyed and assured
unto Benjamin Bomford of Pitchill in the County of Warwick Farmer by the Representatives
of the said Wilson Marshall deceased and all other persons interested therein
To hold such of the said premises as were freehold unto the said Benjamin
Bomford his heirs and assigns for ever and To hold such of the said premises as
were copyhold unto the said Benjamin Bomford for all their right title claim and
interest therein And whereas the said Benjamin Bomford contracted for the
purchase of the said Estate freed and discharged from Land Tax but the Land Tax
payable in respect of the said Estate proved on examination of the Title to have been
only redeemed and not executed nevertheless it was considered not prudent then
to exonerate the said land Tax inasmuch as part of the said Estate was
Copyhold for lives holden under the Dean and Chapter of Worcester And it was
apprehended that in case of any refusal by the Chief Lords to regrant for new lives
and the said Copyholds thereby falling in such exoneration would operate for the
advantage if the said Dean and Chapter only and their property could be benefitted thereby
although they had paid no consideration therefore and were in nowise entitled thereto
And Whereas the said Benjamin Bomford having recently enfranchised the copyhold
portion of the said Estate the above reason is no longer applicable and he hath
accordingly applied to us the undersigned George Baylis and John Marshall as the
surviving executors and Trustees of the said Wilson Marshall deceased (the Reverend
Francis Humfray John Marshall the elder and John Haywood our Co-Trustees and
executors having many years since departed this life) to make and execute the
Assignment hereinafter contained to the intent that the said Land Tax may be forthwith
exonerated and utterly extinguished Now these Presents Witness and we
the said Benjamin Bomford and John Marshall as such surviving Trustees and executors
of the said Wilson Marshall deceased as aforesaid and as far as we can or
lawfully may in pursuance of the said Agreement and for the valuable consideration
heretofore paid to us and in consideration of ten shillings apiece to each of us in hand
paid by the said Benjamin Bomford at the sealing and delivery of these Presents
Do hereby bargain sell assign and transfer to the said Benjamin Bomford his
executors administrators and assigns the yearly Sum of seven pounds and ten shillings
and two pence being the whole of the land tax charged upon All that and those the Messuage
Cottages Buildings Farm Closes pieces or parcels of arable meadow and pasture land containing
in the whole by admeasurement One hundred and seventy two acres and twelve perches or
thereabouts part whereof is freehold of inheritance and the residue whereof was until such
