Treasury warrant to Mr. Tailer for a particular of
premises as below with a view to a grant or lease
thereof to Isabella, Duchess of Grafton, for 99
years at 20s. per an. rent, with a grant or release
from the Queen Dowager's death of 149l. per an.,
part of the rent reserved on the former lease. |
Ibid, pp. 117-9. |
|
Prefixing : (a) said Duchess's petition, ut supra, p. 1925,
shewing that as executrix of her husband, who was
executor of Henry, Earl of Arlington, she is entitled
to three parts in four of the Park of Havering, co.
Essex, for 22 years from 1696, under the rent of
150. per an. under a grant from the late Queen
Mother's Trustees dated 1665, June 29 : the reversion
is in the Crown : the said rent of 150l. is a new
creation and no part of the ancient Crown rent,
the premises out of which it is reserved being but
lately a park and used as such. |
|
(b) William Tailer's report thereon. The manor
and park of Havering were granted 1619, Oct. 15,
under the seal of the Duchy of Lancaster to Sir
Henry Hobart et al. for 99 years. This term was
afterwards assigned to Henry, Earl of St. Albans,
et al., as trustees to Queen Henrietta Maria, who
by lease dated 1662, May, granted to the Bishop
of Exeter three fourths of the said park for 21 years,
the other fourth being assigned to the Earl of
Lindsey for his claim of the inheritance of the
keepership of the park, and a reversion of 13 years
therein was granted 1663 to Eliz. Gawden, relict
of said Bishop. By indenture of 1665, June 29.
the Queen Mother's Trustees (under a warrant of
Charles II) granted the remainder of said 99 years'
term to Henry, Earl of Arlington, at 150l. per an.
rent. Hereof there are 25 years in being at Lady
day next. The premises are in jointure to the
Queen Dowager. By an entry in the book of sales
made by the Parliament in 1650 the whole park
was then valued at 350l. per an. over and above the
reprise for the Earl of Lindsey's keepership. The
same entry mentions a lease in 1626, June 30, by
Charles I to the Countess of Oxford of the herbage
and pannage for 31 years. The premises were
inserted in the Queen Dowager's jointure at the
value of the 150l. reserve rent only. They are
now disparked and the present tenant hath much
impaired the land by frequent ploughing : yet the
three fourth parts now desired are acknowledged
to be worth 400l. per an. At that rate the reversion
desired may be worth 1,750l., being seven years'
purchase of the 150l. per an. If conveyed as
desired by petitioner it is worth 13 years' purchase
or 3,700l. |
