It is believed to have been drawn up by J.M. Cheek of Evesham, Sol. for Nathaniel Hartland who had, along with family members, a financial interest in the Mill House Estate. The document was created to explain ownership transactions, occupiers and their various enterprises from 1751 onwards. The following transcription has attempted to interpret and expand the heavily abbreviated document so that one is more able to understand this Abstract of Title. It is hoped that conclusions of this expansion are correct however interpretations will in some cases will be incorrect. There is much family history here concerning the owners.

Only some of the documents referred to are still extant in the Mill House Deeds, while there is are Mill House transactions which not referred to in this document. The conclusion here is that the estate may have been divided in or after 1818 and some of the documents transferred to another holding. Here follows a listing of documents referred to in this Abstract plus an indication of which documents are still extant in our bundle of deeds. It maybe that the documents referred to still exist amongst the deeds relating to the Mill, which is now under separate ownership.
