[KELMARSH HALL].

HANBURY, William. Manuscript ledger book of documents relating to the Kelmarsh estate.

A detailed account of the workings of Kelmarsh Hall and related properties, one of Northamptonshire’s foremost estates. The majority of the work consists of transcriptions of earlier documents, collated against the originals by William Hanbury himself in 1762, including documents thought to date from the era of James I. They document the various parcels of lands belonging to the estate, naming them and providing their acreage, the values of the land holdings, and rent rolls giving a detailed breakdown of the names and yields of the tenant farmers. Also included are some manuscript bills detailing business and trade transactions, a list of nursery plantations, and statistics on the acquisition of new land, including from the Craven estate. The last section, a book of reference to the map of the ‘Mannor of Kelmarsh’ in 1739 provides accounts of various plots and the rents commanded from them. The book concludes with an alphabetised index.
