| Title: | The Bouverie-Pusey Papers |
| Description: |
The fine archive of the Bouverie-Pusey family of Pusey, Berkshire, and of Kent, c. 1250-1890, includes a large accumulation of deeds of the family's extensive estates, c. 1250 - 1869, including two deeds having Dick Whittington as a party. Other important medieval documents include a 1298 agreement between two knights for mutual aid in peace and war, and the undated notification of one of the same knights of a tenant's homage (written in Norman French). There are many papers relating to the prominent Dunch and Fettiplace families, acquired by estate purchase in 1749. The private and political papers of Philip Pusey MP, a noted agriculturalist, 1821 - 1878, shed light on his career and on developments in agriculture. Of particular interest is the "Berkshire Declaration" of many leading landowners against the Reform Bill, 1832, with copies of supporting letters |
