Title:

Manor of Ewyas Lacy, sale by Sir John Williams

Place name:

Ewyas Lacy

Date:

No date [c1690-1700]

Description:


The document transcribed below is a printed handbill giving details of properties to be sold by Sir John Williams, co-sharing Lord of the Manor of Ewyas Lacy which had been divided into two shares since the 13th century.  Although the sale is undated, it is likely to have taken place before 1701 when a manorial survey was instigated for properties recently acquired by John Jeffreys as the new co-sharing Lord of the Manor.
