TitleDeed of indemnity
Description1. William Owen of Mepal, Isle of Ely, Cambridgeshire, farmer. 2. Thomas Coote of Fenstanton, Huntingdonshire, esquire. 3. Joseph Topham of Little Staughton, Huntingdonshire [now Bedfordshire], farmer; Murfin Blott of Great Staughton, Huntingdonshire, farmer. Consideration: £6000 [in two portions of £500 and £5500]. Recites apportionment under the will (dated 27 March 1846) of Edith Warner of Somersham, late wife of Charles Warner of Somersham, esquire, to Lydia Peacock Owen, wife of 1 and a daughter of the said Edith Owen. Recites that 1 and Lydia Peacock Owen have agreed to sell to 2 certain freehold and copyhold properties for the sum of £6000 of which £500 is the sum apportioned to the freehold properties and £5500 to the copyhold properties. Recites and indenture bearing even date made between 1 with his wife Lydia Peacock Owen and 2 which conveyed the aforesaid freehold properties to 2 for the sum of £500. Recites a surrender bearing even date made between the same parties by which the copyhold properties hereinafter described were conveyed to 2 for the sum of £5500. Messuage and close of pasture belonging formerly to Benjamin Ibbott, then to Edith Warner and now to Lydia Peacock Owen. Five plots of land lying in West End Green (2a 11p) adjacent to the said farm (3r 8p) in Sand Field (33a 13p) in Clay Field (14a 1r 12p) and in the Fen (11a 2r 32p). All the above parcels of land and the messuage being in the parish of Fenstanton, Huntingdonshire. Recites that the said Lydia Peacock Owen has five infant children. Recites that 1 is seised in fee simple in possession of the said properties. Recites that 2 would pay the sum of £5500 ‘upon being indemnified by 1 in the manner hereinafter appearing’. Now therefore this indenture witnesses that 2 has been indemnified by 1 against future claims by the children of Lydia Peacock Owen. This indenture further witnesses that 1 upon the nomination of 2 conveys unto 3: several pieces of land (150a but by a ‘modern survey’ 153a 20p) lying in Byat Fen, Downham in the Isle of Ely now in the occupation of 1 and which were belonging to the See of Ely. The above are conveyed to 3 upon trust and according to the various conditions outlined in this indenture.
