Col. R W Awdry C.B.E. |
| Administrative / biographical background: |
A collection of 368 documents, principally deeds relating to properties in Seend, Wiltshire, and to the Awdry family of Melksham and elsewhere in Wiltshire. 1611-1821. All bundles in this group either contain the Awdry family as parties to deeds, or lead to bundles concerning the Awdry family. Principal parties concerned are:- Earl of Westmoreland Sir Richard Blake Haskins Rees Meyrick (with many others) Charles Price Edward William and Elizabeth Usher There appears to be a definite connection between this Manor and Hardenhuish. See Bundle 41. In this bundle were found documents relating both to Hardenhuish and to the Manor of Southwick. In view of this it is considered most likely that the loose Court papers and Court Roll of the Manor of Southwick belong to the Hardenhuish papers and they have been annexed thereto as Bundles 41-42. Last known Lord of the Manor was Daniel Clutterbuck. A list of the Lords of the Manor so far as they can be ascertained is included with the report on Bundle 42. It seems probable that they are with this collection for the same reason as the papers of Southwick manor. |
