Content description

Richard A Knowles, Tinwell near Stamford, to the Rev the Bursar. An act was passed in the last session of Parliament for enclosing Wyberton Fen, where there is a small estate bought some years ago for the augmentation of the vicarage of Thurlby. He has claimed for a house, a toftsted and 11 acres of land. The commissioners are not inclined to admit his claim for the toftsted. He asks whether the College could oblige him with any evidence from the purchase deeds.
Seal, oval, 18 x 13mm, red wax, applied. A horse's head erased.
