Content description

These bundles were passed over by A.L.H. Carter from Farrer & Co., although much of the material long predates him. The bundles consist mainly of correspondence, drafts and deeds relating to land transactions, although other estate -related issues such as chancel liability are also included and there are one or two other matters, such as a dispute with the Inland Revenue over a loan to Dr. Alington and a potential libel action. Substantive leases and conveyances should be recorded in the lease books and registers but these bundles often provide a good deal of background information and such things as sale catalogues and even plans.
