Sale of the Manor House at Shrivenham in 1739

Two legal documents from the 18th century, an Assingnment and a Release from 1739, make up the information in this listing. The documents are from a bundle purchased by Shrivenham Heritage Society via Ebay and have kept together what we consider to be an important discovery that imparts more knowledge on the Fairthorne family. To read a precis of the two documents please go HERE

Digital copies of the original documents are available in high resolution on request
