Title: | Foljambe of Osberton (additional deposit): Deeds and Estate Papers |
Description: |
Part of this additional collection (DD/FJ/11/1/8) relates to the estates described in the introduction to the main deposit. Of the remainder, a major group of legal papers concerns disputes over common land in and around Rawmarsh, Yorkshire, in the 17th and 18th centuries (DD/FJ/12-13). Another group is the collection of bound correspondence, mainly 18th century in date, of Sir George Savile, 8th baronet, (1726-1784), a highly respected M.P. for Yorkshire (commemorated by a statue in York Minster), and his relative John (Thornhagh) Hewitt (DD/FJ/11/1/1-7). This is of major importance for the history of Parliamentary and local politics, bearing on such subjects as Parliamentary Reform and the Yorkshire Association, American and Irish affairs, and various local issues such as canal schemes, the commercial trade of York and Hull and the campaign for the Spurn Point lighthouse at the mouth of the River Humber. Included are occasional letters of Christopher Wyvill, Joseph Priestley, Major John Cartwright, Lord Rockingham, and Edmund Burke. This correspondence, together with many estate papers of Sir George Savile, passed into the Foljambe family archives by marriage.
