53 High St, Shrivenham - Part 2

This listing was brought about by the acquisition of documents from Ebay, purchased by Shrivenham Heritage Society in April 2021. The buildings were Freehold but the land on which they stood was Copyhold and belonged to the Manor of Stainswick. These documents form a schedule of deeds beginning with the Will of Joseph Bliss in 1801 and terminate with the sale of the Fairthorne Estate holding in Shrivenham in 1922. The cottages to which these documents refer have long since gone, and the Orchard, Barns and Meadow have modern houses built on them.
