Location / boundary notes:

Historic physical core of Watlington-Colts / Watlington-Trussbutts identified at Shouldham around Colt’s Hall / Colt’s Farm. A 1633 field book (NRO HARE 2495) describes the capital messuage and Colt’s Close (c.6 acres) south of Beerway and east of the street/market; Batchelors (>9 acres) north of Beerway, east of the street and west of the Abbey churchway; four tenements/yards east of the village green; Alder Carr (c.7 acres) further east; and Appletons (c.5 acres) east of Alder Carr. This represents the documented physical core, not necessarily the full historical manor extent. HARE 6832 (1811–1818 estate map) and the 1843 tithe map/apportionment are key sources for reconstructing the perimeter.

Representative point is Colts Hall, Eastgate Street, Shouldham, the documented physical centre/manor-house site of Colt's/Trussbutt's manor. Historic England NGR TF 67844 08887. The plotted extent is a reconstructed historical core rather than the complete legal manorial boundary. It encompasses the immediate Colt's/Trussbutt's complex described in the 1633 field book: the capital messuage and Colt's Close (c.6 acres), Batchelors (>9 acres), four tenements/yards, Alder Carr (c.7 acres) and Appletons (c.5 acres). Historic England identifies surviving earthworks north, east and south-east of Colts Hall with these parcels, and records the area as part of Colt's Farm on the 1811–1818 Hare estate map and as Homestall/Further Homestall in the 1843 tithe records. The wider historic Manor of Watlington Colts/Trussbutts extended beyond this core, including land in Watlington and Shouldham, so this polygon should be treated as the presently evidenced physical manorial nucleus, not a definitive perimeter of every historic manorial holding.

About the Manor

The history of the manor is unusually rich, extending from the feudal landscape of medieval west Norfolk through the great Norfolk gentry families of the later Middle Ages and Tudor period, the dissolution of the monasteries, the consolidation of landed estates in the seventeenth century, and the survival of manorial courts into the nineteenth century.

Its history is also more complicated than its later name might suggest. Watlington-West, Watlington-Colts, Colt's, Watlington, Watlington Hall, or Trussbutt’s, Gawsells, the manor formerly belonging to Shouldham Priory, Shouldham Thorpe or Garboysthorpe, Foston Russells and a number of associated estates were not originally one single manor. They developed separately, passed through different families, and were at different periods united in common ownership.

This accumulation of estates explains the variety of names encountered in surviving documents. The same broad landed interest may appear in records under Colt’s, Trussbutt’s, Gawsells, Shouldham, Shouldham Thorpe, Garboysthorpe, Foston or Fodeston Russells, Tottenhill, Runcton Holme and Colts Farm, among others.

Medieval origins

The earliest history belongs to the feudal estates surrounding Shouldham Priory, whose tenants held lands by knight service.

Anglo-Saxon and Norman origins

The documented history of the estate begins before the Norman Conquest.

The earliest known holder was Ailid (Æthelgyth), a free woman of Anglo-Saxon England who held the estate before the redistribution of land which followed the Conquest. She had been deprived of the holding by the time of the Domesday Survey of 1086, when the estate was recorded in the hands of the Norman lord Ralph Baynard.

Ralph Baynard and the Domesday manor

Ralph Baynard, one of the substantial Norman landholders established in England after 1066, represents the first clearly identifiable post-Conquest lord in the surviving sequence.

His possession places the estate within the wider Baynard honour, part of the new Norman tenurial landscape imposed upon the older Anglo-Saxon pattern of landholding.

The estate subsequently descended to William Baynard.

William's involvement in rebellion against Henry I resulted in the forfeiture of his estates. That forfeiture marked a major change in the history of the property, removing it from Baynard possession and bringing it into the sphere of the powerful Clare family.

The Clare honour

The antiquarian descent records that the estate came “to the Earls of Clare.”

The wider Baynard forfeiture is known to have resulted in property passing to Robert fitz Richard, son of Richard fitz Gilbert de Clare, and he is therefore a strong candidate for the individual through whom this particular estate entered the Clare interest.

Roger de Clare, Earl of Hertford, appears as the superior lord who confirmed the grant made by Geoffrey FitzPiers to Shouldham Priory, while Richard de Clare, Earl of Hertford, is recorded as the lord of whom Geoffrey FitzPiers held the relevant Watlington and Shouldham interests.

This is important because it reveals the feudal hierarchy behind the later manor.

The estate did not simply pass from one resident “lord of the manor” to another. At this stage different levels of interest existed simultaneously: the Clare earls as capital or superior lords, substantial tenants beneath them, and eventually the religious house at Shouldham holding its own endowed manorial and tenurial rights.

Geoffrey FitzPiers and the foundation of Shouldham Priory

The next major figure was Geoffrey FitzPiers, Earl of Essex, one of the most important royal administrators of his generation.

Geoffrey held the relevant interests under the honour of Clare and became closely connected with the establishment of Shouldham Priory. He endowed the priory with manorial, ecclesiastical and landed interests in the area.

This was a decisive moment in the development of the later estate.

Land which had previously formed part of a secular feudal holding was now brought into the endowment of a religious house. The Priory consequently became not merely a neighbouring institution but an important landlord and manorial authority in the Watlington–Shouldham landscape.

The Mandeville earls

The FitzPiers interest continued through Geoffrey's sons.

His son Geoffrey de Mandeville, Earl of Essex, succeeded to part of the inheritance and assumed the historic Mandeville name.

He was followed by his brother William de Mandeville, Earl of Essex, who confirmed his father's grant and conveyed further rights to Shouldham Priory, including remaining demesne, homages and services associated with the estate.

By the thirteenth century the Prior of Shouldham appears as a feudal lord receiving knight service from men holding lands within the estate. Those tenants were therefore entering a tenurial structure whose foundations had been laid generations earlier through the Clare, FitzPiers and Mandeville settlements.

Shouldham Priory as lord

Following the FitzPiers and Mandeville grants, Shouldham Priory became an institutional holder of substantial rights in both Shouldham and Watlington.

It is only at this point that the history reaches the early knight-service holders already described in the later section.

Among those holding lands of the Prior were:

Adam de Botefoy;
John, son of Adam;
Robert de Bokenham;
and members of the developing Trussbut interest.

These men should not all be treated as consecutive owners of one indivisible manor. They represent holders of interests within the broader feudal estate administered under the lordship of Shouldham Priory.

From here, the history begins to resolve into the line which eventually produced Trussbutt's Manor, and subsequently Colt's Manor, one of the principal components later absorbed into the wider Watlington estate, before its latter distributional splits, and leading to Watlington-West.

Right / Incident: 1943 Forestry Commission operational anchor
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Earlier official Forest Plan evidence stated that Shouldham Woods management began in 1943 under a 999-year lease from the Hare Estate.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: Pass 47 adds a contemporary Forestry Commission administrative source: the Twenty-Fourth Annual Report lists '140. Shouldham, Norfolk' among Commission units for the year ending 30 September 1943.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: Independently corroborates the 1943 transition into Forestry Commission administration without supplying the lease's proprietary/reservation clauses.
Current Combined Assessment: PRIMARY ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENCE PROVED BY SEP 1943; ACTUAL LEASE TERMS STILL UNREAD.
Connection to Colts: Wider Hare/Stow Shouldham Woods land stream; Colts appurtenance still unproved.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: Actual 1943 lease; Forestry estate/acquisition file; registered freehold/leasehold titles; later variations.
Priority: Very High

right_or_incident: Waytefee / watch-fee
earliest_direct_or_best_evidence: 1329 Thomas Bardolf IPM/calendar material: Wormegay foreign tenants rendered 12d yearly per full knight's fee, called Waytefee; multiple Watlington fee holdings expressly rendered it.
historic_status: VERIFIED historic feudal burden on specified Watlington/Wormegay knight's-fee holdings; exact later Trussbut/Colts predecessor not identified.
key_change_or_survival_event: PASS 12 first separately tracks Waytefee alongside Castelward. PASS 65 applies the same identity control: multiple distinct 1329 Watlington-linked fee blocks owed the same superior-honour burden, so shared Waytefee/Castelward service cannot by itself prove they were the same subordinate manor or the later Colts/Trusbut fee.
current_legal_category: Historic charge tied to medieval knight-service tenure; Tenures Abolition Act 1660 is the relevant abolition/conversion framework.
current_factual_status_for_watlington_colts: Historic Wormegay/Watlington burden only; no present Watlington-West liability established.

right_or_incident: Superior honour franchises — waifs / strays / soc / toll / team / infangthief
earliest_direct_or_best_evidence: 1441 William Phelipp IPM, E-CIPM 25-481: honour/manor of Wormegay held with escheats, waifs, strays, soc, toll, team (thema), infangthief and other franchises.
historic_status: VERIFIED at superior Wormegay honour level; not verified as franchises of the subordinate Trussbut/Colts manor.
key_change_or_survival_event: PASS 12 records the superior franchise ceiling expressly so later sources can be tested for delegation/exercise at the Trussbut submanor.
current_legal_category: Historic honour/franchise categories; no present Colts entitlement is evidenced by the superior grant alone.
current_factual_status_for_watlington_colts: No deed, court record or later conveyance found that grants/exercises these franchises specifically for Watlington-Colts/Trussbutts.

999-year lease expiry / reversion: Right / Element: 999-year lease expiry / reversion
Can Exist Without Manorial Land?: Yes — the superior/freehold interest exists separately during the lease
Does Bare Lordship Prove It?: No
What the Right Actually Means: A long lease grants a time-limited leasehold estate. GOV.UK explains that when the term ends the leaseholder's interest ends and the freeholder/superior reversioner has the right to occupy again, subject to any extension, surrender, merger or other legal change.
What Must Be Proved for Watlington: Identify the exact 1943 commencement date, parties, superior estate, any later assignments/variations/enlargement and current HMLR freehold/reversion title.
Could It Have Been Extinguished / Sold?: Yes — either the lease or reversion can be dealt with; lease can end or be varied before expiry.
Modern Registration Point: Registered freehold/reversion and leasehold titles should identify the current legal interests.
Current Watlington Status: The Watlington-Colts lordship does NOT automatically receive the woodland at lease expiry. That would require the lordship holder also to own the superior/freehold reversion; no such connection is currently proved.

Forestry administrative forest/unit acreage: Right / Element: Forestry administrative forest/unit acreage
Can Exist Without Manorial Land?: No — an administrative unit can include multiple legal interests or component forests
Does Bare Lordship Prove It?: No
What the Right Actually Means: Annual-report forest-unit acreage is operational/administrative evidence, not automatically the acreage of one lease/freehold/title. Pass 50 proves Shouldham and Gaywood were amalgamated into Lynn Forest in 1960.
What Must Be Proved for Watlington: Working plan, component/compartment maps, acquisition/lease files and registered titles
Could It Have Been Extinguished / Sold?: Yes — component parcels/tenures may be added, removed, surrendered, purchased or simply regrouped administratively
Modern Registration Point: Modern title/lease registers remain decisive for proprietary boundaries
Current Watlington Status: Pass 50: 1953 Shouldham 956 acres; 1954/59 1,290; 1960 Lynn expressly comprises former Gaywood + Shouldham. Never infer legal lease shrinkage/expansion from forest-unit totals alone.

Forgotten / reputed manor land: Right / Element: Forgotten / reputed manor land
Can Exist Without Manorial Land?: Not applicable — this is corporeal land that may still be conveyed with a manor if it remains legally/reputedly part of it
Does Bare Lordship Prove It?: No
What the Right Actually Means: LPA 1925 s.62(3) can carry the ground/soil and hereditaments appertaining or reputed to appertain to a manor, or reputed/known as part, parcel or member. A 1975 Norfolk Commons Commissioner decision provides a concrete example.
What Must Be Proved for Watlington: For each Colts parcel: historic manor connection; continuity/reputation at each conveyance; vendor's title in 1930; absence of earlier distinct severance; exact modern parcel/title.
Could It Have Been Extinguished / Sold?: Yes — a distinct freehold conveyance can sever land from the manor. Comber [2026] EWHC 1244 (Admin), citing Delacherois, confirms the principle.
Modern Registration Point: Use HMLR index-map/title plans and first-registration history only after historic parcel crosswalk. Commons-register files may also preserve forgotten ownership evidence.
Current Watlington Status: LEGALLY PLAUSIBLE CATEGORY. Strong historic Colts parcels are identified, but no present parcel has yet been proved still to belong to the Watlington-Colts title.

What It Shows: The 1597 transaction was geographically broader than the later Colt's Hall core. It proves a wide Colt estate package was conveyed together, but the catalogue abstract does not establish that every outlying parcel was technically a member/appurtenance of Watlington Colts.
Colts Connection: Direct
Current Interpretation: Historic bundled conveyance stage, now split for recovery analysis into (1) proven Colts core and (2) outlying Colt estate conveyed in the same deed.

1749 — Watlington commons/wastes subjected to inclosure; surviving award extract MS 7245, 7B4: Date / Period: 1749
Physical Land / Estate Event: Watlington commons/wastes subjected to inclosure; surviving award extract MS 7245, 7B4
Lordship / Title Event: No title transfer proved by the extract
Rights Event: Potential transformation of fold, common, waste, roads/drains and possible reservations
Evidence / Record: Watlington Inclosure Act / MS 7245, 7B4
What It Shows: Major rights/land transformation gate
Colts Connection: Watlington-specific; exact Colts/Gawsels allocation unresolved
Current Interpretation: Potential first major severance/transformation point
Next Decisive Document: Full award, map, claims and commissioners' papers
1794–1798 — Shouldham/Shouldham Thorpe common fields, half-year lands, lammas, commons/wastes reorganised Pass 107 adds a quantified historical control: Cooke's enclosure table records the combined 'Shouldham and Garboiesthorpe' entry as 5,570 acres for 1794.: Date / Period: 1794–1798
Physical Land / Estate Event: Shouldham/Shouldham Thorpe common fields, half-year lands, lammas, commons/wastes reorganised Pass 107 adds a quantified historical control: Cooke's enclosure table records the combined 'Shouldham and Garboiesthorpe' entry as 5,570 acres for 1794.
Lordship / Title Event: Hare estate remains major Shouldham landholder
Rights Event: Roads/drains/fences/allotments reorganised; surviving copy includes Thomas Hare timber licence
Evidence / Record: 1798 enclosure schedule + 1795/96 notices + Cooke/Arthur Young enclosure table (direct searchable transcription)
What It Shows: Separate Shouldham transformation regime The 5,570-acre figure gives the scale of the combined parliamentary-enclosure entry, not the acreage of the Colts estate or any proprietor's allotment.
Colts Connection: Wider Hare/Shouldham; do not auto-import into Colts
Current Interpretation: Potential land/right restructuring before 19th-century estate consolidation PASS 107: 5,570 acres is a landscape-scale enclosure control only; no Colts parcel allocation follows from it.
Next Decisive Document: Full facsimile/award/map Full 1798 schedule/award/map remains necessary for named allottees and parcel-level severance.
3 Oct 1871 / post-1874 + 1875 directory cross-control — Hare estate schedules expressly include Colts Farm in Shouldham. In the 1875 Court Directory Charles Lemmon is directly listed at Colts Hall; the 1875 Shouldham parish entry separately lists him as farmer.: Date / Period: 3 Oct 1871 / post-1874 + 1875 directory cross-control
Physical Land / Estate Event: Hare estate schedules expressly include Colts Farm in Shouldham. In the 1875 Court Directory Charles Lemmon is directly listed at Colts Hall; the 1875 Shouldham parish entry separately lists him as farmer.
Lordship / Title Event: Reported lordship-sale chronology places the Watlington/Gawsels title transition around 1869; Sir Thomas Hare is nevertheless still stated in the 1875 Shouldham directory to be lord of the manor of Shouldham. This is a different manor-title statement and must not be conflated with Watlington-Colts.
Rights Event: No surviving Colts-specific right/reservation wording has yet been read.
Evidence / Record: HARE 5466 222 x 5 + Kelly/Post Office Directory 1875 Shouldham parish page + Norfolk Court Directory p.563
What It Shows: This is the strongest same-period public alignment so far: Colts Farm is inside Hare estate schedule material post-1874; Hare/Stephen Allen are the parish's principal landowners; Charles Lemmon is separately a farmer and is specifically resident/located at Colts Hall.
Colts Connection: Direct to Colts Farm and Colts Hall.
Current Interpretation: [Inference] Strongly favours physical Colts Farm remaining in the Hare estate landholding/administrative stream with Lemmon as operator/occupier around 1875. If the separate reported 1869 Watlington-Colts lordship transfer is confirmed, this is strong evidence of land/title separation. It is not yet a legal freehold finding.
Next Decisive Document: Full HARE 5466 Colts Farm schedule; then 1843 tithe/HARE 5370/1910 valuation to prove owner, tenant, acreage and chain.
Late 19th century — Forestry England retrospectively states Stow Bardolph Estate owned Shouldham Woods: Date / Period: Late 19th century
Physical Land / Estate Event: Forestry England retrospectively states Stow Bardolph Estate owned Shouldham Woods
Lordship / Title Event: Separate Coote/Gawsels/Colts title chronology developing
Rights Event: Estate later known as farming and shooting estate
Evidence / Record: Forestry England Forest Plan p.10
What It Shows: Direct pre-1943 physical ownership anchor
Colts Connection: Wider Hare/Stow estate
Current Interpretation: Woodland freehold remained in estate stream
Next Decisive Document: Underlying estate deeds / tithe / OS parcel matching
c.1900 — Five OS sheets marked for land exchange between Hare and Hoff across Shouldham/Thorpe/Marham/Wormegay: Date / Period: c.1900
Physical Land / Estate Event: Five OS sheets marked for land exchange between Hare and Hoff across Shouldham/Thorpe/Marham/Wormegay
Lordship / Title Event: No lordship transfer stated
Rights Event: Possible reservation/severance of sporting/mineral/access/timber rights
Evidence / Record: HARE 6956/1-5; related HARE 6374-5
What It Shows: Concrete parcel exchange immediately before 20th-century title era
Colts Connection: Potentially affects Colts Farm/Shouldham parcels; not yet mapped
Current Interpretation: Critical severance event
Next Decisive Document: HARE 6374/6375 papers + coloured HARE 6956 plans
16 Dec 1929 — Hereditaments conveyed by Green + Public Trustee to Humphreys in fee simple: Date / Period: 16 Dec 1929
Physical Land / Estate Event: Hereditaments conveyed by Green + Public Trustee to Humphreys in fee simple
Lordship / Title Event: Immediate predecessor to 1930 four-lordship conveyance
Rights Event: Unknown reservations/exceptions
Evidence / Record: Recital in 12 Feb 1930 deed
What It Shows: Potential final pre-Edleston land/right severance point
Colts Connection: Direct to the later conveyed hereditaments
Current Interpretation: Critical missing predecessor deed
Next Decisive Document: Full 16 Dec 1929 conveyance
12 Feb 1930 — No broad physical estate acreage is expressly established by current abstract: Date / Period: 12 Feb 1930
Physical Land / Estate Event: No broad physical estate acreage is expressly established by current abstract
Lordship / Title Event: Humphreys -> Edleston: four manors/lordships including Watlington Colts otherwise Trusbutts
Rights Event: Then-subsisting rights, royalties, members and appurtenances expressly conveyed
Evidence / Record: Private 1930 deed
What It Shows: Strong incorporeal title/rights gateway but only for rights still subsisting
Colts Connection: Direct
Current Interpretation: Modern title/right stream clearly distinct from wider Hare/Stow physical estate unless parcel proof reconnects them
Next Decisive Document: Full predecessor/root deeds and parcel schedules
1943 — 372ha Shouldham Warren + Sincks leased for 999 years from Hare Estate at Stow Bardolph: Date / Period: 1943
Physical Land / Estate Event: 372ha Shouldham Warren + Sincks leased for 999 years from Hare Estate at Stow Bardolph
Lordship / Title Event: No Colts title transaction
Rights Event: Sporting rights retained by the estate
Evidence / Record: Forestry England Forest Plan + current plan webpage + Forestry Commission 1943 Annual Report + Norfolk County Council 2022 Topic Paper
What It Shows: Official sources establish that Forestry's Shouldham interest is leasehold/management, not Forestry freehold; a separate landowner existed and the estate retained sporting rights. [Inference] The superior/reversionary estate therefore remained outside Forestry, but its exact legal proprietor and the detailed reservations require the lease/HMLR titles.
Colts Connection: Wider Hare/Stow estate; no document found tying the 372ha Warren/Sincks demise to Watlington Colts/Trusbutts.
Current Interpretation: Forestry = long leaseholder/manager. Current public evidence names Stow Estates as owner of Sincks in 2021; current registered proprietor of Warren is not verified. No evidence shows the Watlington-Colts lordship receives or owns this land merely because the lease exists.
Next Decisive Document: Actual 1943 lease + current HMLR freehold/reversion and leasehold registers/title plans + filed lease
12 Jul 2010 — Stow Estate stated at c.4,000 acres and retaining Hall Farm property: Date / Period: 12 Jul 2010
Physical Land / Estate Event: Stow Estate stated at c.4,000 acres and retaining Hall Farm property
Lordship / Title Event: No Colts lordship statement
Rights Event: Estate expressly described as traditional farming and shooting estate
Evidence / Record: King's Lynn & West Norfolk planning report
What It Shows: Large Hare/Stow land/sporting estate still operational in modern era
Colts Connection: Wider estate only
Current Interpretation: Continuity of Stow physical/sporting estate strengthened
Next Decisive Document: Current registered titles / estate trust documents
23 Jan 2021 — Shouldham Parish Council says Shouldham Sincks is owned by Stow Estates: Date / Period: 23 Jan 2021
Physical Land / Estate Event: Shouldham Parish Council says Shouldham Sincks is owned by Stow Estates
Lordship / Title Event: No Colts title statement
Rights Event: Forestry plan says estate sporting rights exercised in Sincks
Evidence / Record: Shouldham Parish Council + Forestry England
What It Shows: Current landowner statement aligns geographically with retained sporting-right area
Colts Connection: Colts connection unproved
Current Interpretation: Strong current wider-estate land/right continuity
Next Decisive Document: Land Registry freehold + leasehold titles
1845 — Sir Thomas Hare owns 2,674 of Shouldham's 3,775 acres including a rabbit warren; Charles Lemmon occupies Colts Hall: Date / Period: 1845
Physical Land / Estate Event: Sir Thomas Hare owns 2,674 of Shouldham's 3,775 acres including a rabbit warren; Charles Lemmon occupies Colts Hall
Lordship / Title Event: Hare described as lord of the manor of Shouldham; exact manor style not specified
Rights Event: Warrener William Brighton separately manages rabbit warren
Evidence / Record: White 1845 Shouldham
What It Shows: Major estate land, warren management and Colts Hall occupation are visibly separable functions
Colts Connection: Colts Hall physical occupation direct; Colts lordship identity unproved from directory
Current Interpretation: Strong mid-19th-century land/occupation control
Next Decisive Document: Estate leases, HARE schedules, 1634 warren lease
1912 — Hare remains principal landowner/lord; Henry Hoff also appears as principal landowner; Walter Lemmon at Colts Hall: Date / Period: 1912
Physical Land / Estate Event: Hare remains principal landowner/lord; Henry Hoff also appears as principal landowner; Walter Lemmon at Colts Hall
Lordship / Title Event: Hare still described as lord of the manor
Rights Event: No reservations stated
Evidence / Record: Kelly directory scan + HARE 6956 c.1900 exchange
What It Shows: Post-exchange ownership pattern corroborates that Hoff acquired meaningful land while Colts Hall stayed separately occupied
Colts Connection: Potentially relevant to Colts parcels; exact exchanged plots unknown
Current Interpretation: Strong corroboration of c.1900 parcel severance
Next Decisive Document: HARE 6374/6375 + HARE 6956/1-5
1616–1634 — Shouldham Warren already exists; by 1634 a lease requires rabbits to be supplied to household: Date / Period: 1616–1634
Physical Land / Estate Event: Shouldham Warren already exists; by 1634 a lease requires rabbits to be supplied to household
Lordship / Title Event: Hare-era estate consolidation follows by 1632
Rights Event: Commercial rabbit-warren use / fixed-rent lease model
Evidence / Record: Explore West Norfolk + Norfolk Heritage Explorer
What It Shows: Warren is a real economic land use before later woodland
Colts Connection: Wider Shouldham; Colts connection unproved
Current Interpretation: Historic warren economy precedes later Hare sporting estate
Next Decisive Document: Exact 1634 lease
1779–1780 — Hare manor/estate at Shouldham actively policed for game: Date / Period: 1779–1780
Physical Land / Estate Event: Hare manor/estate at Shouldham actively policed for game
Lordship / Title Event: Sir Thomas Hare's manor at Shouldham
Rights Event: Joseph Forby appointed gamekeeper; gun-seizure litigation
Evidence / Record: Fincham Local History Society citing Wentworth
What It Shows: Active gamekeeping/enforcement rather than merely nominal sporting terminology
Colts Connection: Wider Shouldham; exact Colts manor identity unproved
Current Interpretation: Strong historic sporting-control stage
Next Decisive Document: Underlying pleading + estate gamekeeper records
1794 award; use/status recorded 1836/1845 — Shouldham Poors' Land and Fuel Allotment created under 1794 Inclosure Award; 95A recorded in 1845; poor cut peat/turf: Date / Period: 1794 award; use/status recorded 1836/1845
Physical Land / Estate Event: Shouldham Poors' Land and Fuel Allotment created under 1794 Inclosure Award; 95A recorded in 1845; poor cut peat/turf
Lordship / Title Event: No title change
Rights Event: Separate poor-benefit resource entitlement created by enclosure award
Evidence / Record: Charity Commission 207556 + White 1845 + Shouldham Conservation Area Statement
What It Shows: Resource/common rights could be allocated to non-lord beneficiaries under a specific award
Colts Connection: Wider Shouldham only; not Colts title evidence
Current Interpretation: Legal origin fixed to 1794; 1836 is later-use/context, not creation
Next Decisive Document: Full P.R. 29.(1) p.520 / 1794 award, map, trustees and later charity schemes
1847–1890 — Extensive tree planting converts former warren landscape toward woodland estate: Date / Period: 1847–1890
Physical Land / Estate Event: Extensive tree planting converts former warren landscape toward woodland estate
Lordship / Title Event: Hare estate remains dominant landholder
Rights Event: Economic land use shifts from rabbit warren toward forestry while sporting uses continue later
Evidence / Record: Explore West Norfolk
What It Shows: Physical land use changes without itself determining incorporeal rights
Colts Connection: Wider Hare/Shouldham
Current Interpretation: Transition toward woodland later leased to Forestry
Next Decisive Document: Estate planting/wood books; later lease
1845–1896 title/land divergence control — 1845 Sir Thomas Hare owns 2,674 acres of Shouldham including rabbit warren; 1871/post-1874 Hare schedules list Colts Farm and Shouldham Abbey Farm as separate estate units; 1896 Hare remains lord/principal landowner in Shouldham.: Date / Period: 1845–1896 title/land divergence control
Physical Land / Estate Event: 1845 Sir Thomas Hare owns 2,674 acres of Shouldham including rabbit warren; 1871/post-1874 Hare schedules list Colts Farm and Shouldham Abbey Farm as separate estate units; 1896 Hare remains lord/principal landowner in Shouldham.
Lordship / Title Event: 1845 Charles Berners Plestow is lord of Gawsels in Watlington; by 1883 George Coote is lord of Gawsels while Rev. Canon Birch owns most Watlington soil/Hall.
Rights Event: Shows lordship, surface land, farm tenancies and sporting/warren land could and did follow different ownership/administrative streams.
Evidence / Record: White 1845 Shouldham; White 1845/1883 Watlington; HARE 5466; Kelly 1896 Shouldham
What It Shows: Direct period evidence of land/title separation before the 1930 Edleston title conveyance and 1943 Forestry lease.
Colts Connection: Physical Colts land proved, but Warren/Sincks not proved as Colts land.
Current Interpretation: Strong evidence against assuming the 1943 Hare Estate woodland was automatically land of the Watlington-Colts lordship.
Next Decisive Document: Parcel-level HARE estate maps/exchanges + 1930 predecessor deed + 1943 lease + HMLR titles
1941–1943 — National Farm Survey captures farms/holdings and mapped boundaries immediately before/around the 1943 Forestry lease.: Date / Period: 1941–1943
Physical Land / Estate Event: National Farm Survey captures farms/holdings and mapped boundaries immediately before/around the 1943 Forestry lease.
Lordship / Title Event: No lordship transfer established by the survey route.
Rights Event: Can identify owner-versus-tenant status, rent/occupancy and exact holding boundaries; potentially separates Hare/Stow physical estate from other Shouldham holdings.
Evidence / Record: TNA MAF 32 individual farm records + MAF 73 maps
What It Shows: Independent government snapshot of land ownership/occupation just before the lease, outside the Hare archive.
Colts Connection: To be tested by matching Colts Farm, Warren/Sincks and surrounding holdings.
Current Interpretation: Critical pre-lease ownership control; stronger than relying only on later estate narrative.
Next Decisive Document: Shouldham/Shouldham Thorpe MAF 73 map sheets + corresponding MAF 32 forms

Physical Land / Estate Event: 25-inch OS sheet LVII.7 records detailed Shouldham physical boundaries after the HARE 5466 estate-schedule period.
Lordship / Title Event: No lordship/title disposition recorded by OS.
Rights Event: No proprietary rights recorded.
Evidence / Record: Ordnance Survey Norfolk LVII.7, depicted 1904 / published 1905
What It Shows: High-resolution pre-1930 parcel geometry for crosswalking the Colts core.
Colts Connection: Direct geographic coverage of Shouldham; Colts ownership is not inferred from map alone.
Current Interpretation: Important physical-boundary bridge between late-Hare estate records and 1930.
Next Decisive Document: MAF 50/F estate files, Forestry maps/working plans, lease variations/surrenders, HMLR titles
1910–1915 — Valuation Office survey mapped hereditaments and linked them to field books recording owners, occupiers, interests, area and rent/value.: Date / Period: 1910–1915
Physical Land / Estate Event: Valuation Office survey mapped hereditaments and linked them to field books recording owners, occupiers, interests, area and rent/value.
Lordship / Title Event: Could directly identify whether Colt's Hall/Farm was freehold/copyhold and who held it before 1930 once exact assessment is found.
Rights Event: May record easements/ways or other valuation deductions, but not a substitute for title deeds.
Evidence / Record: TNA Valuation Office Survey — annotated plans + IR 58 field books
What It Shows: Potentially decisive ownership/extent snapshot between 1904 OS and 1929/1930 deeds.
Colts Connection: Targeted specifically to Colt's Hall/Farm; exact assessment not yet found.
Current Interpretation: CRITICAL unresolved pre-1930 ownership bridge.
Next Decisive Document: Actual 1943 lease + post-1945 title/vesting record + HMLR leasehold register
1927 / 1928 publication — Revised 25-inch OS sheet LVII.7 supplies near-contemporaneous physical boundaries shortly before the 1929 and 1930 deeds.: Date / Period: 1927 / 1928 publication
Physical Land / Estate Event: Revised 25-inch OS sheet LVII.7 supplies near-contemporaneous physical boundaries shortly before the 1929 and 1930 deeds.
Lordship / Title Event: No title ownership recorded.
Rights Event: No proprietary rights recorded.
Evidence / Record: Ordnance Survey Norfolk LVII.7, depicted 1927 / published 1928
What It Shows: Lets the audit distinguish physical continuity from legal continuity at the exact pre-conveyance stage.

Current Interpretation: Final cartographic boundary gate before modern title instruments.
Next Decisive Document: F37 working plans / unit histories
30 Sep 1953 -> 30 Sep 1954 — Shouldham Forestry unit increases from 956 acres to 1,290 acres (+334 acres).: Date / Period: 30 Sep 1953 -> 30 Sep 1954
Physical Land / Estate Event: Shouldham Forestry unit increases from 956 acres to 1,290 acres (+334 acres).
Lordship / Title Event: No lordship event proved.
Rights Event: A measurable addition/reclassification occurred within one reporting year; precise legal mechanism unverified.
Evidence / Record: Forestry Commission 34th and 35th Annual Reports
What It Shows: Could reflect acquisition by lease/purchase, supplemental land, administrative inclusion or re-survey; report does not localize mechanism.
Colts Connection: No Colts connection.
Current Interpretation: NARROWS KEY CHANGE WINDOW TO 1953-54.
Next Decisive Document: F37 Shouldham working plan; MAF50/F estate files; supplemental lease/title
30 Sep 1960 — Former Gaywood and Shouldham Forests are amalgamated into Lynn Forest; combined total 2,858 acres.: Date / Period: 30 Sep 1960
Physical Land / Estate Event: Former Gaywood and Shouldham Forests are amalgamated into Lynn Forest; combined total 2,858 acres.
Lordship / Title Event: No lordship event.
Rights Event: Administrative merger expressly proved; later Lynn acreage is combined, not Shouldham-only.
Evidence / Record: Forestry Commission 41st Annual Report, Table 28 footnote
What It Shows: Corrects direct unit-to-modern-lease comparisons.
Colts Connection: No Colts connection.
Current Interpretation: DO NOT TREAT LYNN UNIT ACREAGE AS THE 1943 SHOULDHAM LEASE AREA.
Next Decisive Document: F37 Lynn/Shouldham/Gaywood working plans; lease/title maps
30 Sep 1965 -> 30 Sep 1966; persists to 1970/71 — Combined Lynn Forest falls from 2,698 to 2,474 acres (-224); official research still identifies 'Lynn Forest, Shouldham'.: Date / Period: 30 Sep 1965 -> 30 Sep 1966; persists to 1970/71
Physical Land / Estate Event: Combined Lynn Forest falls from 2,698 to 2,474 acres (-224); official research still identifies 'Lynn Forest, Shouldham'.
Lordship / Title Event: No lordship event.
Rights Event: Some combined-unit adjustment occurred but Shouldham site identity continues.
Evidence / Record: Forestry Commission annual reports + Forest Research reports
What It Shows: Cannot allocate the 224-acre change to Shouldham/Gaywood or identify it as disposal/surrender without file-level evidence.
Colts Connection: No Colts connection.
Current Interpretation: Operational continuity survives the acreage change; legal parcel effect unresolved.
Next Decisive Document: F37 working plans; estate disposal/adjustment files; lease variations; titles
1633 — HARE 2495 field book identifies a corporeal Colts estate: capital messuage + Colt's close (6a), four tenements/yards, alder carr nearly 7a, Appletons 5a, Batchelors just over 9a: Date / Period: 1633
Physical Land / Estate Event: HARE 2495 field book identifies a corporeal Colts estate: capital messuage + Colt's close (6a), four tenements/yards, alder carr nearly 7a, Appletons 5a, Batchelors just over 9a
Lordship / Title Event: Colts/Trussbutts manor identifiable in Shouldham
Rights Event: Tenure of parts split among tenant farmer and two others; proprietary lordship/estate still documented together
Evidence / Record: Historic England citing NRO HARE 2495
What It Shows: Positive parcel-level starting inventory for land-recovery audit
Colts Connection: Direct
Current Interpretation: These are candidate historic Colts parcels, not automatically present manor land
Next Decisive Document: Full HARE 2495 field book + contemporary plan if any
1811–1818 — Estate map shows Colt's Farm including the whole later scheduled monument area: Date / Period: 1811–1818
Physical Land / Estate Event: Estate map shows Colt's Farm including the whole later scheduled monument area
Lordship / Title Event: Hare estate era
Rights Event: Physical estate continuity visible despite later possibility of lordship/land separation
Evidence / Record: Historic England cites HARE 6832 ('Map of Estates of Sir Thomas Hare', 1811); CBTM separately catalogues HARE 5185 231x2 (Wiggins 1811-1818) as a broader Hare estate map
What It Shows: Bridges 1633 Colts parcels into early-19C estate geography through Historic England. Pass 87 separates the map references: the CBTM downloadable HARE 5185 PDF is only a Downham Market crop, so it is NOT direct visual evidence of the Shouldham section.
Colts Connection: Direct physical-land continuity
Current Interpretation: Critical parcel crosswalk before 1843 tithe; source references now separated rather than merged
Next Decisive Document: Obtain full Shouldham sections of HARE 6832 and HARE 5185; compare legends/plot geometry and determine whether they are distinct maps, copies or revisions
1843 — Tithe apportionment calls area east/southeast of Colt's Hall the farm Homestall; Batchelors is Further Homestall: Date / Period: 1843
Physical Land / Estate Event: Tithe apportionment calls area east/southeast of Colt's Hall the farm Homestall; Batchelors is Further Homestall
Lordship / Title Event: No title transfer established by tithe terminology
Rights Event: No separate-right conclusion
Evidence / Record: Historic England summary of 1843 tithe + Norfolk County Council Historic Maps tithe service/apportionment guidance
What It Shows: Confirms Colt's Farm field identity after 1811 mapping. Pass 87 supplies the exact ownership-recovery method: read the numbered Shouldham tithe-map plots digitally, then request the undigitised NRO apportionment entries for owner, occupier, field name, cultivation and acreage.
Colts Connection: Direct to Colt's Farm land
Current Interpretation: Strongest pre-1869 mapped-name continuity currently public; owner/occupier extraction now has an exact two-stage route
Next Decisive Document: Read Shouldham plot numbers at Colt's Hall/Homestall/Further Homestall from NCC map -> request those plot entries from NRO tithe apportionment
1849 — John Wiggins survey, terrier and valuation exists as NRO HARE 5370 221 X 6: Date / Period: 1849
Physical Land / Estate Event: John Wiggins survey, terrier and valuation exists as NRO HARE 5370 221 X 6
Lordship / Title Event: Hare estate survey era
Rights Event: Unknown until terrier read
Evidence / Record: Agricultural History Review exact archive citation
What It Shows: Potentially supplies estate owner/tenant/acreage/value immediately after tithe and before HARE 5466
Colts Connection: Target; Colts occurrence not yet verified
Current Interpretation: Critical missing bridge
Next Decisive Document: Full HARE 5370 221 X 6
15 Jul 1977 — Shouldham Village Green had no registered owner and no claimant after public notice; Commissioner ordered registration to Parish Council: Date / Period: 15 Jul 1977
Physical Land / Estate Event: Shouldham Village Green had no registered owner and no claimant after public notice; Commissioner ordered registration to Parish Council
Lordship / Title Event: No Colts title finding
Rights Event: No Colts rights finding
Evidence / Record: Commons Commissioner VG.168 decision
What It Shows: Demonstrates real local loss of ownership memory and supplies a boundary control beside historic Colts tenements
Colts Connection: Adjacent to known Colts tenements; Green itself unproved Colts
Current Interpretation: Forgotten ownership is factually possible locally, but this statutory vesting is not theft evidence
Next Decisive Document: VG168 register map/file + overlay with HARE 2495/1843 tithe
1794 (34 Geo.3 c.85 Pr.) -> 1796 -> 1798 — The exact private Act, 34 Geo.3 c.85 Pr. (royal assent 23 May 1794), authorised division/allotment/enclosure of common fields, half-year lands, lammas meadows, commons and waste in Shouldham and Shouldham Thorpe/Garboise Thorpe. The 1796 road notice then sets roads over named greens/commons and beside Thomas Hare parcels; the 1798 printed schedule covers public allotments, roads, footpaths, drain, fences and rules.: Date / Period: 1794 (34 Geo.3 c.85 Pr.) -> 1796 -> 1798
Physical Land / Estate Event: The exact private Act, 34 Geo.3 c.85 Pr. (royal assent 23 May 1794), authorised division/allotment/enclosure of common fields, half-year lands, lammas meadows, commons and waste in Shouldham and Shouldham Thorpe/Garboise Thorpe. The 1796 road notice then sets roads over named greens/commons and beside Thomas Hare parcels; the 1798 printed schedule covers public allotments, roads, footpaths, drain, fences and rules.
Lordship / Title Event: No Watlington-Colts lordship transfer proved by these enclosure records.
Rights Event: Potential conversion/reallocation of common, waste, road, drainage and boundary land; exact private allotments/reservations not yet read.
Evidence / Record: Commons Journal 1794 + 34 Geo.3 c.85 Pr. statutory citation + 1796 commissioners' notice + 1798 schedule metadata
What It Shows: Provides a concrete mechanism by which old common/waste geography could be allocated into new private parcels while also creating road, verge, drain and boundary residue that requires later title tracing.
Colts Connection: Indirect until the enclosure schedule/map is overlaid against proven Colts parcels and Hare 1633/1811 evidence.
Current Interpretation: CRITICAL TRANSFORMATION LAYER — strengthens the residual-fragment audit but proves no surviving Colts parcel by itself.
Next Decisive Document: Obtain full 1798 schedule and any award/map; test exact Colts names/parcels against HARE 2495/HARE 2826/HARE 6832 and the 1843 tithe. The 1796 notice yielded no direct Batchelors/Appletons/Beerway/Colts-name match.
1845 micro-parcel control — White records a 95-acre Shouldham Fuel Allotment and separately 'one rood of old poor's land' let for 12s.: Date / Period: 1845 micro-parcel control
Physical Land / Estate Event: White records a 95-acre Shouldham Fuel Allotment and separately 'one rood of old poor's land' let for 12s.
Lordship / Title Event: No Colts/lordship transfer shown
Rights Event: Tiny distinct poor-land holding survives alongside larger allotment and Hare estate
Evidence / Record: White 1845 Shouldham
What It Shows: Local proof that a very small historically distinct parcel could remain separately identifiable rather than being absorbed into a surrounding estate.
Colts Connection: Wider Shouldham only; not Colts land
Current Interpretation: Important residual-parcel control; strengthens search method, not claimant title.
Next Decisive Document: Trace old poor's land in later charity/enclosure records and HMLR.
1962–2024/current charity-land continuity control — Charity 207556 remains registered; Commission says it owns and/or leases land/property; council says Shouldham Poors Charity offered allotment land at Mill Road for a community orchard.: Date / Period: 1962–2024/current charity-land continuity control
Physical Land / Estate Event: Charity 207556 remains registered; Commission says it owns and/or leases land/property; council says Shouldham Poors Charity offered allotment land at Mill Road for a community orchard.
Lordship / Title Event: No Watlington-Colts title change
Rights Event: Special-purpose land/property stream remains identifiable in modern administration
Evidence / Record: Charity Commission 207556 + West Norfolk CIL FY24_2
What It Shows: Shows that old enclosure/poor-land institutions can retain or lease identifiable land into the modern period.
Colts Connection: Exact link between Mill Road parcel, charity 207556 and the original 1794 95A/one-rood land not yet proved.
Current Interpretation: Strong modern local control; not Colts ownership evidence.
Next Decisive Document: Confirm charity identity; obtain parcel/title/site plan; compare 1794 award, 1845 directory and ACC 2022/153 fuel papers.
2009 Trussbot Lodge correction — Official conservation statement treats erection of Trussbot Lodge as twentieth-century/post-war development and calls Trussbot a modern suburban-type house.: Date / Period: 2009 Trussbot Lodge correction
Physical Land / Estate Event: Official conservation statement treats erection of Trussbot Lodge as twentieth-century/post-war development and calls Trussbot a modern suburban-type house.
Lordship / Title Event: None
Rights Event: Modern commemorative/place-name use can mimic historic manor names without parcel continuity
Evidence / Record: West Norfolk Shouldham Conservation Area Character Statement
What It Shows: Prevents a false parcel-continuity inference from the modern Trussbot/Trussbut name beside The Green.
Colts Connection: Not a severance event; negative evidential control.
Current Interpretation: Historic-name lead closed; retain only as modern locator.
Next Decisive Document: Do not prioritise Trussbot Lodge unless independent historic deeds/map labels surface.
7 Apr 1911 — Norfolk County Council sought to acquire a 30-acre Shouldham field for small holdings; the Board refused confirmation because of hardship to the owner-occupier, who offered another 16-acre field adjoining other small holdings.: Date / Period: 7 Apr 1911
Physical Land / Estate Event: Norfolk County Council sought to acquire a 30-acre Shouldham field for small holdings; the Board refused confirmation because of hardship to the owner-occupier, who offered another 16-acre field adjoining other small holdings.
Lordship / Title Event: No lordship/title transfer stated.
Rights Event: Potential statutory/tenurial reorganisation; actual 30-acre acquisition did not proceed under this order.
Evidence / Record: UK Parliament Hansard — Small Holdings
What It Shows: Directly proves early-20th-century Shouldham farm land was being considered for subdivision/reallocation under small-holdings legislation.
Colts Connection: No Colts connection stated.
Current Interpretation: LOCAL FRAGMENTATION CONTROL — important immediately before the 1929/1930 title period, but not a Colts severance finding.
Next Decisive Document: Norfolk County Small Holdings Committee minutes; Board of Agriculture order/commissioner report; identify farm/owner and 30A/16A maps.
15 Jan 1985 — Alfred G. Pearce (Farms) Ltd mortgaged a distinct 10-acre freehold parcel described as 'near the hall' in Shouldham; charge satisfied 2009 and a release statement was filed in 1992.: Date / Period: 15 Jan 1985
Physical Land / Estate Event: Alfred G. Pearce (Farms) Ltd mortgaged a distinct 10-acre freehold parcel described as 'near the hall' in Shouldham; charge satisfied 2009 and a release statement was filed in 1992.
Lordship / Title Event: No manorial-title transfer stated.
Rights Event: Modern distinct-freehold treatment of the 10-acre parcel is proved for the company's mortgage security; earlier origin and later ownership remain unknown.
Evidence / Record: Companies House legal mortgage, company 01313998
What It Shows: Provides a concrete modern 10-acre freehold parcel in Shouldham to geolocate. The same charge register separately identifies other farm acreage, reinforcing that this was treated as a distinct asset.
Colts Connection: [Inference] Potentially relevant because Alfred George Pearce used Colts Hall as Companies House correspondence address, but 'the hall' is not identified and no Colts link is proved.
Current Interpretation: VERY HIGH MODERN PARCEL LEAD — must not be called Colts land until mapped/title-traced.
Next Decisive Document: Obtain charge/release filing if possible; historical HMLR title/index-map search; map 10 acres against Colts Hall/1633/1811/1843/HARE 5466.
2002 -> 2023 — A Pearce of Colts Hall applied in 2002 over land rear of Blackhorse Cottage to Newlands, Westgate Street; 2023 council material maps the allocated site east of 52–60 Westgate Street at 0.3ha with New Road/public-footpath context.: Date / Period: 2002 -> 2023
Physical Land / Estate Event: A Pearce of Colts Hall applied in 2002 over land rear of Blackhorse Cottage to Newlands, Westgate Street; 2023 council material maps the allocated site east of 52–60 Westgate Street at 0.3ha with New Road/public-footpath context.
Lordship / Title Event: No lordship event.
Rights Event: Planning history only; applicant identity and later development do not prove legal title.
Evidence / Record: West Norfolk 2/02/1587/O + 23/00056/F planning PDFs
What It Shows: Supplies modern geometry that can be overlaid with the historic four-tenements/Batchelors/Colts landscape and used to target HMLR searches.
Colts Connection: [Inference] Pearce/Colts Hall association makes this a practical localisation lead, not ownership evidence.
Current Interpretation: MODERN GEOMETRY BRIDGE — exact 2002/2023 overlap still to confirm.
Next Decisive Document: Retrieve both full red-line plans/ownership certificates; compare site geometry; HMLR SIM/register/plan; crosswalk 1811/tithe.
1884–1885 — OS Norfolk XLV.16 provides a second 25-inch Shouldham sheet close to the 1883 pound and after HARE 5466.: Date / Period: 1884–1885
Physical Land / Estate Event: OS Norfolk XLV.16 provides a second 25-inch Shouldham sheet close to the 1883 pound and after HARE 5466.
Lordship / Title Event: No lordship transfer shown.
Rights Event: No rights transfer shown.
Evidence / Record: OS Norfolk XLV.16, 1884/85
What It Shows: Corrects the map-crosswalk assumption: the Shouldham landscape is split across more than one 25-inch sheet, so microparcel continuity must be reconstructed across LVII.7 and XLV.16.
Colts Connection: Directly relevant to Shouldham geography; exact Colts-core placement still to plot.
Current Interpretation: CARTOGRAPHIC CORRECTION / BOUNDARY GATE — not severance evidence by itself.
Next Decisive Document: Overlay Colts Hall NGR + scheduled monument; compare XLV.16/LVII.7; then trace each parcel through tithe/valuation.
1910–1915 — Valuation Office ownership survey can be narrowed to East Anglia Peterborough (King's Lynn) District IR 127/8; Shouldham must be tested on both Norfolk LVII.7 and XLV.16.: Date / Period: 1910–1915
Physical Land / Estate Event: Valuation Office ownership survey can be narrowed to East Anglia Peterborough (King's Lynn) District IR 127/8; Shouldham must be tested on both Norfolk LVII.7 and XLV.16.
Lordship / Title Event: No lordship event.
Rights Event: Field books can state freehold/copyhold interest, owner/occupier, tenancy/rent, area and valuation.
Evidence / Record: The National Archives Valuation Office Survey guide
What It Shows: Creates the strongest immediate pre-1930 ownership crosswalk now identified and gives the exact workflow from OS sheet -> assessment number -> IR 58 field book.
Colts Connection: Direct search route for Colt's Hall / Colt's Farm; actual assessment(s) not yet retrieved.
Current Interpretation: CRITICAL PRE-1930 OWNERSHIP GATE — no owner yet proved.
Next Decisive Document: Find IR 127/8 plans for both sheet numbers; record assessment/income-tax parish; retrieve IR 58 field book(s).
16 Jun 1992 — Alfred G. Pearce (Farms) Ltd filed form 403b declaring a mortgage charge released/ceased.: Date / Period: 16 Jun 1992
Physical Land / Estate Event: Alfred G. Pearce (Farms) Ltd filed form 403b declaring a mortgage charge released/ceased.
Lordship / Title Event: No manorial-title event shown.
Rights Event: Potential release of charged property/security; exact affected charge/extent not visible in metadata.
Evidence / Record: Companies House filing history
What It Shows: Introduces a precise legal event between the 1985 10-acre mortgage and 2009 satisfaction that could explain a parcel release or charge restructuring.
Colts Connection: Possible relevance to the 10-acre 'near the hall' lead; connection not proved until the document identifies the charge/property.
Current Interpretation: VERY HIGH RELEASE-DOCUMENT TARGET — do not treat as 10-acre severance without the filing.
Next Decisive Document: Order/read 403b; identify charge number/property; then trace historic HMLR title/plan.
8 Jul 1506 -> 5 Jun 1512 — 1506 fine describes a Watlington manor package with 1 messuage, 200a land, 20a meadow, 40a pasture and 10a wood. Six years later SL26/6/CR/1 records multiple customary holding transfers at a general court of a Manor of Watlington. The exact 1512 holdings are not yet named.: Date / Period: 8 Jul 1506 -> 5 Jun 1512
Physical Land / Estate Event: 1506 fine describes a Watlington manor package with 1 messuage, 200a land, 20a meadow, 40a pasture and 10a wood. Six years later SL26/6/CR/1 records multiple customary holding transfers at a general court of a Manor of Watlington. The exact 1512 holdings are not yet named.
Lordship / Title Event: 1506 final concord acknowledges the manor/estate to Henry Wyatt, Richard Wyatt and Reynold Pegge, to Henry's heirs; the 1512 draft court's lord is not securely named in the surviving scan.
Rights Event: 1506 package includes 16s rent, one free fold and St Peter advowson. The 1512 court proves customary services, entry fines, fealty and admissions/seisin, but no secure free-fold or advowson reference has yet been read from it.
Evidence / Record: CP 25/1/170/197 no.106 + SL26/6/CR/1 + Steven Gunn (2016), ch.13
What It Shows: Creates a six-year chronological bridge between Wyatt's 1506 Watlington manor acquisition and a functioning Watlington customary court in 1512, but Pass 63 materially strengthens the competing-identity control. An official archival inventory identifies a Ramsey Abbey 'Watlington, manor' court baron/customary court roll in 1435-36, proving that a generic Watlington court style cannot itself identify a single manor stream. Separately, the Fincham compilation now links John Fyncham's pre-1506 estate/testament context (Shuldham Thorpe; Walyngton; Watlington; 'magistro Symeon Fyncham') to its later secondary statement that Simon was rector of Watlington with a Norwich will in 1512.
Colts Connection: UNPROVED. Neither the 1506 generic Watlington manor nor the 1512 generic Watlington court is yet internally tied to Watlington-Colts/Trussbutts.
Current Interpretation: IDENTITY / TENURE / ADVOWSON BRIDGE CANDIDATE — still unproved. [Inference] The Fyncham family/property material makes Simon a more coherent candidate for the St Peter vacancy test, while the Ramsey Abbey 1435-36 court makes manor-name matching less reliable. Neither development identifies the lord of SL26/6 or connects Wyatt's manor to Colts/Trussbutts.
Next Decisive Document: Priority 1: recover the Ramsey 1435-36 court roll modern shelfmark and inspect its lord/steward/tenant stream. Priority 2: recover John Fyncham's 1496 primary testament/IPM and Simon's 1512 Norwich probate register/folio. Priority 3: identify the first St Peter presentation after the candidate vacancy. Priority 4: recover HARE 1870-1 / 1875-6 and resolve SL26/6 names.
22 May 1506 -> 8 Jul 1506 — CP 25/1/170/197 no.102 records 3 messuages and 30 acres in Wallyngton' and Thorplond'. Only seven weeks later, no.106 records the Manor of Watlyngton' with its estate package, free fold and St Peter advowson.: Date / Period: 22 May 1506 -> 8 Jul 1506
Physical Land / Estate Event: CP 25/1/170/197 no.102 records 3 messuages and 30 acres in Wallyngton' and Thorplond'. Only seven weeks later, no.106 records the Manor of Watlyngton' with its estate package, free fold and St Peter advowson.
Lordship / Title Event: No.102 is a land concord in Wallington/Thorpland; no.106 is the separate Watlyngton manor concord to Henry Wyatt, Richard Wyatt and Reynold Pegge.
Rights Event: No.102 states no manor/advowson. No.106 expressly includes a free fold and the advowson of St Peter of Watlyngton.
Evidence / Record: CP 25/1/170/197 nos.102 and 106 — direct full-text Feet of Fines abstracts; linked AALT endpoints IMG_0155 and IMG_0159
What It Shows: This is a very strong same-series legal place-name control. Contemporary clerks/transcribers distinguish Wallyngton' + Thorplond' from Watlyngton' rather than treating them as interchangeable forms. It materially protects the Wyatt/1512 investigation from the historic Wallington-cum-Thorpland conflation.
Colts Connection: Directly relevant to identity control only. It does not identify the Wyatt manor as Colts/Trussbutts.
Current Interpretation: PLACE-NAME / TITLE-STREAM CONTROL — NOT A SEVERANCE EVENT.
Next Decisive Document: Keep no.102 and no.106 paired in every Tudor identity test. Next: resolve 1512 lord/steward/tenants and the St Peter presentation stream; recover HARE 1870–1 / 1875–6.
14 Hen VI (1435-1436) — Public Records Commission inventory identifies 'Watlington, manor. Roll of court baron and customary court, anno 14 Hen. VI' within Ramsey Abbey's Norfolk manorial records.: Date / Period: 14 Hen VI (1435-1436)
Physical Land / Estate Event: Public Records Commission inventory identifies 'Watlington, manor. Roll of court baron and customary court, anno 14 Hen. VI' within Ramsey Abbey's Norfolk manorial records.
Lordship / Title Event: Ramsey Abbey collection context only; underlying lord/steward and title clauses are not visible in the inventory entry.
Rights Event: A functioning court baron/customary court is evidenced by the archival inventory; no St Peter advowson clause is stated in this specific entry.
Evidence / Record: Public Records Commission digitised inventory — search-indexed official archival finding aid
What It Shows: Demonstrates an earlier generic Watlington manorial court stream associated in the archival inventory with Ramsey Abbey. This materially strengthens the multiple-Watlington control and prevents the 1512 SL26/6 court from being assigned to Wyatt/Colts solely because it is styled Watlington.
Colts Connection: No bridge to Colts/Trussbutts, Wyatt, Gawsell or Shuldham is proved.
Current Interpretation: VERY HIGH IDENTITY-CONTROL EVENT — NOT A SEVERANCE FINDING.
Next Decisive Document: Recover the modern archival reference and underlying 1435-36 roll; extract lord/steward/tenants/holdings; compare names and institutional style with SL26/6, the 1506 Wyatt fine, St Peter advowson evidence and later HARE material.
1540-1566 -> 1786-1909 — Searchable catalogue metadata names 'Manor of Watlington-with-West Dereham. Court (Norfolk)' and a court-roll series beginning in 1540, resuming 1786-1909.: Date / Period: 1540-1566 -> 1786-1909
Physical Land / Estate Event: Searchable catalogue metadata names 'Manor of Watlington-with-West Dereham. Court (Norfolk)' and a court-roll series beginning in 1540, resuming 1786-1909.
Lordship / Title Event: [Inference] Possible post-Dissolution West Dereham Abbey Watlington stream; first roll/lord not yet inspected.
Rights Event: Court-roll existence only; rights/incidents must be extracted from originals.
Evidence / Record: WeRelate catalogue reproduction + FamilySearch catalog ID 438436; FHL film 1472612 item 10 and 1702188 item 14; WCT-DIG-0058 antiquarian court-roll extracts
What It Shows: The exact catalogue/film route is now resolved. The 1540 series start still aligns with the reported first William Butts court in 32 Hen VIII for the former West Dereham Abbey manor in Watlington, but [Inference] the identity remains unproved until the opening roll is read.
Colts Connection: No documentary bridge to Watlington-Colts/Trussbutts or SL26/6 yet.
Current Interpretation: CRITICAL MANOR-IDENTITY BRANCH — FILM/CATALOG ROUTE RESOLVED; NOT A SEVERANCE FINDING.
Next Decisive Document: Use FamilySearch catalog 438436 / FHL films 1472612 item 10 and 1702188 item 14 to locate the first 1540 roll; transcribe manor heading, lord/capacity, steward, tenants and holdings; obtain modern NRO shelfmark and compare with SL26/6.
1622-1785 — TNA official accession metadata identifies 'Tittleshall alias Trusbutts in Runcton Holme and Tottenhall manor' court book, ACC 2002/145.: Date / Period: 1622-1785
Physical Land / Estate Event: TNA official accession metadata identifies 'Tittleshall alias Trusbutts in Runcton Holme and Tottenhall manor' court book, ACC 2002/145.
Lordship / Title Event: Distinct/collateral Trusbut manor stream unless expressly bridged.
Rights Event: Court book may record fines, rents, admissions, heriots, wastes and other incidents; not yet inspected.
Evidence / Record: TNA Norfolk Record Office 2002 accessions / manorial digest
What It Shows: Provides a long court-book comparator in the exact Runcton Holme/Tottenhall landscape and may help distinguish repeated Trusbut manor names.
Colts Connection: No proof this is Watlington-Colts/Trussbutts. Vision of Britain identifies Tittleshall as a manor within Runcton Holme.
Current Interpretation: COLLATERAL TRUSBUT IDENTITY CONTROL — NOT TARGET-MANOR SEVERANCE.
Next Decisive Document: Resolve NRO item-level reference; inspect first/last courts and tenant/property indexes; compare exact manor title with 1597 Watlington Coltes/Trusbuttes wording.
29 Jan 1330 — Thomas Bardolf IPM separately lists a manor in Watlington and Longham held by Geoffrey Bryseyard for 1 knight's fee, and another 1-fee Watlington/Foston/Wallington/Setchey/Hardwick block held by a different tenant group.: Date / Period: 29 Jan 1330
Physical Land / Estate Event: Thomas Bardolf IPM separately lists a manor in Watlington and Longham held by Geoffrey Bryseyard for 1 knight's fee, and another 1-fee Watlington/Foston/Wallington/Setchey/Hardwick block held by a different tenant group.
Lordship / Title Event: Superior tenure under the honour of Wormegay; no Colts/Trusbut holder named in these specific 1330 blocks.
Rights Event: Both fee blocks render Castelward and Waytefee; these are superior-honour burdens, not proof of one subordinate manor.
Evidence / Record: Thomas Bardolf IPM/calendar transcription
What It Shows: Pushes the multiple-Watlington structure back to 1330. [Inference] The later 1427 Trusbut fee cannot be assigned to the Bryseyard block without a tenant/descent bridge.
Colts Connection: No direct bridge to Colts/Trussbutts yet.
Current Interpretation: MEDIEVAL MULTIPLE-FEE IDENTITY CONTROL — NOT A SEVERANCE EVENT.
Next Decisive Document: Trace Geoffrey Bryseyard and the separate Watlington fee block through 14th-century deeds/IPMs; compare 1390/1403/1427 tenant names and localities.
28 Sep 1610 -> 1611 — Scholarship cites Coke's acquisition of Longham Priors from Futter on 28 Sep 1610; Tawney lists 1611 Holkham/Tittleshall Book 62 records 'Longham and Watlington' and 'Watlington and Priors'.: Date / Period: 28 Sep 1610 -> 1611
Physical Land / Estate Event: Scholarship cites Coke's acquisition of Longham Priors from Futter on 28 Sep 1610; Tawney lists 1611 Holkham/Tittleshall Book 62 records 'Longham and Watlington' and 'Watlington and Priors'.
Lordship / Title Event: Coke/Holkham Longham-Priors estate stream.
Rights Event: Rights/incidents not extracted from the underlying Holkham manuscripts.
Evidence / Record: Holkham Estate Catalogue citation via Coke scholarship + Tawney source list
What It Shows: [Inference] Strongly supports a distinct Longham-Watlington-Priors complex and provides a plausible forward continuation for the older Watlington-and-Longham manor stream.
Colts Connection: Does not prove identity with or severance from Watlington-Colts/Trussbutts.
Current Interpretation: COMPETING LONGHAM/PRIORS TITLE STREAM — EXCLUSION CONTROL, NOT TARGET SEVERANCE.
Next Decisive Document: Recover Holkham vol.5 doc.650 and Tittleshall Book 62; extract manor title, tenants, foldcourse, boundaries and any earlier title recitals.
4 May 1427 -> 19 Nov 1434 / proved 12 Jul 1435 -> Richard succession unresolved -> Geoffrey separately established at Islington -> later Thomas returns to Watlington -> 1522/1535 -> 1567 — 1427: Robert Kervyle holds a Watlington quarter-fee. 1434/35: Robert directly gives his Manor of Watlington to eldest son Richard, his heirs and assigns. The same will separately orders Geoffrey to be enfeoffed in fee simple in Robert's messuage and named lands at Islington. Gurney's later Watlington pedigr...: Date / Period: 4 May 1427 -> 19 Nov 1434 / proved 12 Jul 1435 -> Richard succession unresolved -> Geoffrey separately established at Islington -> later Thomas returns to Watlington -> 1522/1535 -> 1567
Physical Land / Estate Event: 1427: Robert Kervyle holds a Watlington quarter-fee. 1434/35: Robert directly gives his Manor of Watlington to eldest son Richard, his heirs and assigns. The same will separately orders Geoffrey to be enfeoffed in fee simple in Robert's messuage and named lands at Islington. Gurney's later Watlington pedigree marks Richard 'obiit s.p.', but Pass 71 corrects the source attribution: Gurney's explicit reliance on Islington Court Rolls is stated for his corrected Wiggenhall St Mary's pedigree, not expressly for Richard's Watlington entry. Geoffrey's son Thomas is later styled of Watlington.
Lordship / Title Event: Robert Kervyle; Richard Kervyle (direct manor devisee; d.s.p. only secondary/unresolved-source statement); Geoffrey Kervyle (direct separate Islington devisee); Thomas Kervile of Watlington; later Tudor Kerviles.
Rights Event: Direct Watlington manor to Richard; separate Islington messuage plus named lands to Geoffrey in fee simple; Kreykyscroft separate remainder structure; later capital messuage/foldcourse estate at Watlington.
Evidence / Record: Register Surflete will; Gurney Watlington pedigree; Harl.1552 visitation; British Library Add Roll 67553-67556 later Islington account-roll route; E-CIPM 22-799; NCC wills; CP40/1253.
What It Shows: Pass 71 separates two questions that Pass 70 blurred: (1) Geoffrey's Islington estate is directly proved by Robert's will; (2) Richard's death without issue is stated in Gurney's Watlington pedigree, but the underlying source is unidentified. The Islington Court Rolls are therefore relevant to Geoffrey's branch but cannot presently be cited as proof of Richard's d.s.p. status.
Colts Connection: No primary Richard death/heirship instrument or manor transfer has been found. No proof links the Kervile manor to the generic 1435-36 court, Wyatt, SL26/6, West Dereham, Gawsells or Colts.
Current Interpretation: DIRECT KERVILE MANOR STREAM — SOURCE CONTROL CORRECTED; RICHARD D.S.P. REMAINS SECONDARY, MANOR SUCCESSION UNPROVED.
Next Decisive Document: Priority order corrected: recover 1435-36 Watlington court roll and primary Richard death/heirship/deeds first; separately trace Geoffrey's named Islington fee-simple holdings and locate older Islington rolls; use BL 1496-1506 compotus as later branch evidence, not as Richard proof.
1340 -> 1361 — 1340: two acres in Thorplond had been acquired by the prioress of Crabhous from Adam son of John de Watlyngton by royal licence. 1361: John de Watlyngton and Edmund Kervyle are jointly named among alienors of a substantial west-Norfolk property package to Blackborough Priory.: Date / Period: 1340 -> 1361
Physical Land / Estate Event: 1340: two acres in Thorplond had been acquired by the prioress of Crabhous from Adam son of John de Watlyngton by royal licence. 1361: John de Watlyngton and Edmund Kervyle are jointly named among alienors of a substantial west-Norfolk property package to Blackborough Priory.
Lordship / Title Event: Adam de Watlyngton; John de Watlyngton; Edmund Kervyle; prioress/convent of Crabhous/Blackborough.
Rights Event: Two acres in Thorpland; separate 1361 messuages/land/meadow/pasture in Clenchwarton, Tilney, Wiggenhall, South Lynn, Middleton and West Lynn. No Watlington manor is named.
Evidence / Record: Inquisitions Miscellaneous 1340; Close Roll 26 Oct 1340; Patent Roll 16 Nov 1361 / C 66 membrane 11
What It Shows: [Inference] These records make a de Watlyngton-to-Kervyle social/property network in west Norfolk chronologically plausible before Robert's 1434 manor, and they give concrete individuals to test against the will's earlier de Watlington provenance.
Colts Connection: They do not prove that the 1340/1361 John is John son of William son of Thomas de Wathlington; Thorpland is not Watlington; the 1361 lands are not the Watlington manor.
Current Interpretation: PRE-KERVILE PROVENANCE CONTROL — DIRECT NETWORK EVIDENCE, NOT TITLE DESCENT.
Next Decisive Document: Trace Adam/John de Watlyngton through Norfolk fines/deeds; recover original C 54/C 66 images; search for William/Thomas de Watlyngton parentage; compare dates with the 1434 provenance formula.
20 Edw III (1346-47) -> 1373/1386 coheir-family Trussbut crossover -> 1425/1427 -> 1435-36 court test -> 1443-44 -> 1451 -> Thomas Shuldham — John Bartholomew held this Manor of Watlington in 20 Edw III. His daughters included Margaret, who married John Glemsford and carried the manor to him, and Agnes, who married William de Shuldham. That same William/Agnes couple dealt in 1373/1386 with Thomas son of Nicholas Trussbut over land in Shuldham. The active possession line continued through Marg...: Date / Period: 20 Edw III (1346-47) -> 1373/1386 coheir-family Trussbut crossover -> 1425/1427 -> 1435-36 court test -> 1443-44 -> 1451 -> Thomas Shuldham
Physical Land / Estate Event: John Bartholomew held this Manor of Watlington in 20 Edw III. His daughters included Margaret, who married John Glemsford and carried the manor to him, and Agnes, who married William de Shuldham. That same William/Agnes couple dealt in 1373/1386 with Thomas son of Nicholas Trussbut over land in Shuldham. The active possession line continued through Margaret -> Katherine Hawdekyn, with patronage in 1425/1427, then Katherine Curteys livery in 1443-44 and presentation 1451. Thomas Shuldham later appears as the next coheir/title claimant through the Agnes-Shuldham branch.
Lordship / Title Event: John Bartholomew; Margaret Bartholomew/Glemsford; Agnes Bartholomew/Shuldham; William de Shuldham; Thomas son Nicholas Trussbut; Katherine Hawdekyn; Katherine Curteys; John Shuldham; Thomas Shuldham.
Rights Event: Manor/advowson title plus a separate parcel of land in Shuldham transferred/released to Trussbut. The Shuldham parcel is not identified as manor land.
Evidence / Record: Norfolk Archaeology VI pp.300-303, medieval pedigree/title entry and deed notes from Stow Bardolph muniments.
What It Shows: Pass 73 materially strengthens the network: the 1373/1386 Trussbut transaction is inside a coheir family branch of the same Watlington title pedigree. [Inference] This raises the possibility of parcel-level interaction between Watlington-coheir family property and Trussbut holdings, but no Watlington parcel is identified in the deeds.
Colts Connection: Margaret is expressly said to have carried the manor to Glemsford; Agnes's coheir descent does not prove the Shuldham parcel formed part of that manor. The 1435-36 court identity remains unresolved.
Current Interpretation: CRITICAL TITLE-FAMILY/TRUSSBUT CROSSOVER — FAMILY BRIDGE PROVED, WATLINGTON PARCEL/MANOR MERGER NOT PROVED.
Next Decisive Document: Recover original 1373/1386 deeds/bounds and modern HARE refs; recover Curteys livery; recover John Shuldham 1425 probate and Thomas succession instrument; compare against 1435-36 court.
1373 -> 26 Jul 1386 — William de Shuldham, husband of Agnes daughter of John Bartholomew in the Watlington-manor coheir pedigree, secured a parcel of land in Shuldham to Thomas son of Nicholas Trussbut in 1373; Agnes, William's widow, released the land to Trussbut in 1386.: Date / Period: 1373 -> 26 Jul 1386
Physical Land / Estate Event: William de Shuldham, husband of Agnes daughter of John Bartholomew in the Watlington-manor coheir pedigree, secured a parcel of land in Shuldham to Thomas son of Nicholas Trussbut in 1373; Agnes, William's widow, released the land to Trussbut in 1386.
Lordship / Title Event: William de Shuldham; Agnes Bartholomew/Shuldham; Thomas son of Nicholas Trussbut.
Rights Event: Parcel of land in Shuldham/Shouldham; exact acreage, bounds, tenure and source of Agnes's potential claim unrecovered.
Evidence / Record: Norfolk Archaeology VI p.303 citing Stow Bardolph deeds; pedigree on preceding pages supplies Agnes's Bartholomew coheir identity.
What It Shows: This is now direct proof that a Trussbut land transaction involved a branch of the exact family entitled as coheirs in the competing Manor of Watlington pedigree.
Colts Connection: Still no statement that the transferred parcel was in Watlington, belonged to the Watlington manor, or was Colts/Trussbutts. No manor merger shown.
Current Interpretation: DIRECT TITLE-FAMILY/TRUSSBUT CROSSOVER — PARCEL IDENTITY UNRESOLVED.
Next Decisive Document: Recover originals and determine parcel bounds/title source; test whether the land appears in later Trussbut/Colt or Shuldham estate schedules.
17 Ric II (1393-94) -> 4 Jul 1403 — Secondary Fincham pedigree evidence cites a 17 Ric II marriage settlement for Alicia Fyncham and Laurence Trusbutt of Shouldham. Ten years later a royal IPM fee schedule directly records Lawrence Trussebute holding a separate Watlington quarter-fee and a larger one-fee block across Watlington, Tottenhill, Setchey, Shouldham Thorpe and Langham; the same schedule separately records John de Fyncham holding a Foston/Shouldham Thorpe quarter-fee and a Fincham/We...: Date / Period: 17 Ric II (1393-94) -> 4 Jul 1403
Physical Land / Estate Event: Secondary Fincham pedigree evidence cites a 17 Ric II marriage settlement for Alicia Fyncham and Laurence Trusbutt of Shouldham. Ten years later a royal IPM fee schedule directly records Lawrence Trussebute holding a separate Watlington quarter-fee and a larger one-fee block across Watlington, Tottenhill, Setchey, Shouldham Thorpe and Langham; the same schedule separately records John de Fyncham holding a Foston/Shouldham Thorpe quarter-fee and a Fincham/West Dereham/Roxham/Fordham fee.
Lordship / Title Event: Alicia Fyncham; Laurence/Lawrence Trusbutt/Trussebute; John de Fyncham.
Rights Event: Trusbut: Watlington 1/4 fee plus one-fee multi-place block. Fyncham: Foston/Shouldham Thorpe 1/4 fee plus Fincham/West Dereham/Roxham/Fordham fee. Marriage property schedule unknown.
Evidence / Record: Fyncham compilation citing Marr. Sett. 17 Ric II; E-CIPM 18-793 / TNA C 137/37/39 mm.9-10; E 149/81/3 m.3.
What It Shows: Pass 74 places a Fyncham-Trusbut marriage immediately before primary proof of Laurence's Watlington tenure and alongside a separate Fyncham Shouldham-Thorpe fee. [Inference] The marriage may be relevant to local property consolidation, but there is no evidence yet that Alicia brought the Watlington fee or that the Fyncham fee became Trusbut property.
Colts Connection: Original marriage settlement missing. The 1403 fee schedule expressly distinguishes the fee entries and gives no acquisition mechanism.
Current Interpretation: DIRECT TRUSBUT WATLINGTON TENURE + TIGHT FINCHAM MARRIAGE NETWORK — TITLE MECHANISM UNPROVED.
Next Decisive Document: Recover 17 Ric II marriage settlement; trace Laurence's 1403 full fee and quarter-fee backward/forward; trace John Fyncham's Shouldham-Thorpe quarter-fee separately; compare later Trusbut/Shouldham deeds.
1467 -> 5 Oct 1474 -> 1494/1496 — Thomas Shuldham's 1467 testamentary summary grouped Watlington, Shouldham and Burnham Deepdale as life interests for widow Margaret. By 5 Oct 1474 a charter transcription shows Margaret, now widow of Thomas Shuldham senior, receiving a life annuity of 8 marks 6s.8d. charged on the manor of Depdale called Holkhammes from John Fyncham and feoffees. Fincham material says John purchased Burnham Deepdale in 1474; his 1494 will names his manor of Depdale and the of...: Date / Period: 1467 -> 5 Oct 1474 -> 1494/1496
Physical Land / Estate Event: Thomas Shuldham's 1467 testamentary summary grouped Watlington, Shouldham and Burnham Deepdale as life interests for widow Margaret. By 5 Oct 1474 a charter transcription shows Margaret, now widow of Thomas Shuldham senior, receiving a life annuity of 8 marks 6s.8d. charged on the manor of Depdale called Holkhammes from John Fyncham and feoffees. Fincham material says John purchased Burnham Deepdale in 1474; his 1494 will names his manor of Depdale and the official 1496 IPM confirms a manor in Depdale and Brankastir.
Lordship / Title Event: Thomas Shuldham senior; Margaret Shuldham; John Fyncham and feoffees.
Rights Event: Burnham Deepdale/Depdale manor; Margaret's prior life interest; 1474 annual rent/annuity with distraint. Watlington and Shouldham disposition after this event not shown.
Evidence / Record: Norfolk Archaeology VI Shuldham will summary; 1474 charter derivative transcription; Fincham compilation; NRO Hare 2026 193 x 5 official IPM metadata.
What It Shows: [Inference] This is the strongest current indication that Thomas Shuldham's grouped three-manor estate was being fragmented by 1474: Deepdale appears under Fyncham control while Margaret's economic interest is preserved as an annuity. It may represent purchase plus commutation/protection of her life estate.
Colts Connection: The operative 1474 purchase/conveyance is missing. Do not state Margaret sold Deepdale, released her entire life estate, or that Watlington/Shouldham passed with Deepdale.
Current Interpretation: PROBABLE DEEPDALE SEVERANCE/RESTRUCTURING FROM SHULDHAM GROUP — OPERATIVE DEED NOT YET RECOVERED.
Next Decisive Document: Recover original 1474 annuity charter and purchase deed; compare Thomas Shuldham 1467 will; determine what happened separately to Watlington and Shouldham after Deepdale left the group.
4 Jul 1403 -> by Easter 1418 -> 4 May 1427 — 1403: Lawrence Trussebute and others hold one knight's fee across Watlington, Tottenhill, Setchey, Shouldham Thorpe and Langham, plus a separate Watlington quarter-fee. Modern archival scholarship places Lawrence's death by Easter 1418. 1427: Thomas Trusbut and parceners hold one knight's fee across Watlington, Tottenhill, Garbodesthorp, Setchey and ?Longham.: Date / Period: 4 Jul 1403 -> by Easter 1418 -> 4 May 1427
Physical Land / Estate Event: 1403: Lawrence Trussebute and others hold one knight's fee across Watlington, Tottenhill, Setchey, Shouldham Thorpe and Langham, plus a separate Watlington quarter-fee. Modern archival scholarship places Lawrence's death by Easter 1418. 1427: Thomas Trusbut and parceners hold one knight's fee across Watlington, Tottenhill, Garbodesthorp, Setchey and ?Longham.
Lordship / Title Event: Lawrence Trussebute; Thomas Trusbut and parceners.
Rights Event: One-fee Trusbut block with exact Watlington/Tottenhill/Setchey overlap; probable Shouldham Thorpe/Garbodesthorp alias continuity; fifth place unresolved. Lawrence also had a separate Watlington quarter-fee in 1403.
Evidence / Record: E-CIPM 18-793 / C 137/37/39 mm.9-10 / E 149/81/3 m.3; Maddock archival synthesis; E-CIPM 22-799 / C 139/30/56 mm.13,15.
What It Shows: [Inference] Same fee quantity, same Trusbut surname and highly overlapping locality-set strongly indicate continuity of the feudal fee block from Lawrence's generation to Thomas's by 1427. The transition window is now approximately 1418-1427.
Colts Connection: No source yet states Thomas's relationship to Lawrence, the legal transfer, or that 1403 Langham = 1427 ?Longham. No automatic identity with later Colts/Trusbuttes manor.
Current Interpretation: VERY HIGH TRUSBUT CONTINUITY ANCHOR — FEE BLOCK STRONGLY CONTINUOUS, HOLDER DESCENT STILL UNPROVED.
Next Decisive Document: Find Lawrence probate/death instrument; Thomas parentage/heirship; inspect HARE 2683-4 and HARE 2493; resolve Garbodesthorp and Langham/Longham; push fee block forward to 1451/Colt transition.
1 Hen V (1413-14) -> by Easter 1418 -> 1597 comparison — Christ's College MR7 item 53(1) describes a 60-year Bromehill Priory lease to Laurence ?Trussebut [Gressebut] of all lands, tenements, rents and tithes in Runcton Holme, annual rent 20s, with catalogue total about 4a 3r 20p. Lawrence is dead by Easter 1418. In 1597 the Colt estate sale expressly includes Colt lands/tenements in Runcton Holme alongside Watlington Coltes/Trusbuttes.: Date / Period: 1 Hen V (1413-14) -> by Easter 1418 -> 1597 comparison
Physical Land / Estate Event: Christ's College MR7 item 53(1) describes a 60-year Bromehill Priory lease to Laurence ?Trussebut [Gressebut] of all lands, tenements, rents and tithes in Runcton Holme, annual rent 20s, with catalogue total about 4a 3r 20p. Lawrence is dead by Easter 1418. In 1597 the Colt estate sale expressly includes Colt lands/tenements in Runcton Holme alongside Watlington Coltes/Trusbuttes.
Lordship / Title Event: Laurence ?Trussebut; Bromehill Priory; much later George Colt/Thomas Shouldham estate parties.
Rights Event: 1413-14 leased Runcton property; exact parcels unnamed/partially illegible in catalogue. 1597 Colt Runcton-Holme lands are separately documented but no parcel equation is proved.
Evidence / Record: Christ's College Muniments Inventory MR7 item 53(1); HARE 2402/2403 1597 catalogue evidence.
What It Shows: [Inference] Runcton Holme is now a direct locality-continuity marker on both the early Lawrence-era Trusbut side and the later Colt estate side. This materially strengthens the route to test physical continuity, especially if the original lease yields parcel names.
Colts Connection: Catalogue surname is queried; lease is not a manor; 1413 parcels are not yet shown to be the 1597 Colt parcels. Runcton also contained distinct manorial interests.
Current Interpretation: DIRECT EARLY RUNCTON-HOLME LAND BRIDGE — LOCALITY CONTINUITY STRONG, PARCEL CONTINUITY UNPROVED.
Next Decisive Document: Obtain original MR7 item 53(1); inspect MR4,6 Runcton rolls/rental; compare parcel/tenant names with HARE 2493, 1597 HARE2402 and later estate maps.
Trusbut heiress -> Thomas Colt -> Joan d. probable 4 Aug 1473 -> IPM 15 Edw IV no.34 -> John heir/ward — Visitation proves Jane/Joan as Norfolk Trusbut heiress married Thomas Colt and John as son/heir. Copinger gives probable death 4 Aug 1473 and exact IPM reference 15 Edw IV no.34. Pass 78 adds Lysons' use of that same IPM for Joan's seisin of Clayhall, Barking, descending to John, showing the IPM trail covers substantive estate property beyond the Cavendish narrative.: Date / Period: Trusbut heiress -> Thomas Colt -> Joan d. probable 4 Aug 1473 -> IPM 15 Edw IV no.34 -> John heir/ward
Physical Land / Estate Event: Visitation proves Jane/Joan as Norfolk Trusbut heiress married Thomas Colt and John as son/heir. Copinger gives probable death 4 Aug 1473 and exact IPM reference 15 Edw IV no.34. Pass 78 adds Lysons' use of that same IPM for Joan's seisin of Clayhall, Barking, descending to John, showing the IPM trail covers substantive estate property beyond the Cavendish narrative.
Lordship / Title Event: Jane/Joan Trusbut; Thomas Colt; Sir William Parr; John Colt.
Rights Event: Known inherited/succession contexts now include Cavendish and Clayhall. Exact Norfolk Trusbut estate remains missing.
Evidence / Record: Harvey Visitation; DNB; Copinger; Lysons.
What It Shows: The legal chain is increasingly concrete. The original IPM could now plausibly resolve whether John inherited Norfolk Trusbut property alongside Suffolk/Essex holdings.
Colts Connection: Clayhall origin is unproved; do not label it Trusbut property. Original IPM/livery not yet recovered.
Current Interpretation: VERY HIGH HEIRESS/IPM BRIDGE — ACTUAL SECOND MANOR NOW IDENTIFIED, NORFOLK SCHEDULE STILL MISSING.
Next Decisive Document: Original IPM/C140 -> all county returns -> 5 Nov 1485 livery -> compare Norfolk entries to 1403/1427 fee and 1597 Watlington Coltes/Trusbuttes.
13 Edw IV death -> 15 Edw IV IPM -> 1 Hen VII wardship / reported 5 Nov 1485 livery — Joan dies, John succeeds as heir in known estate contexts, and John is later described as Parr's ward in 1 Hen VII. Modern BP2003 material reports livery 5 Nov 1485. Pass 79 adds official TNA method: post-IPM livery and wardship records can often be found in Patent Rolls C66; this should now be searched before treating Fine Rolls as the only route.: Date / Period: 13 Edw IV death -> 15 Edw IV IPM -> 1 Hen VII wardship / reported 5 Nov 1485 livery
Physical Land / Estate Event: Joan dies, John succeeds as heir in known estate contexts, and John is later described as Parr's ward in 1 Hen VII. Modern BP2003 material reports livery 5 Nov 1485. Pass 79 adds official TNA method: post-IPM livery and wardship records can often be found in Patent Rolls C66; this should now be searched before treating Fine Rolls as the only route.
Lordship / Title Event: Joan Trusbut Colt Parr; Sir William Parr; John Colt.
Rights Event: Known inherited estate hooks now include Cavendish, Clayhall and Suffolks; property released by livery remains unknown.
Evidence / Record: Copinger; Lysons; Robinson; BP2003 derivative; TNA IPM research guide.
What It Shows: [Inference] The known estate names should materially improve Patent Roll searching for John Colt around 5 Nov 1485.
Colts Connection: No primary livery entry found. Date remains secondary. Do not infer Norfolk land without record text.
Current Interpretation: LIVERY SEARCH ROUTE CORRECTED — PRIORITISE C66 PATENT ROLLS.
Next Decisive Document: Search CPR Henry VII 1485-1494 and C66 around 5 Nov 1485 using John Colt/Colte + Clayhall/Cavendish/Suffolks; then county escheator returns.
4 Aug 1473 [reconstructed] -> 15 Edw IV IPM -> John Colt — Copinger's death formula resolves to 4 Aug 1473 and says Cavendish passed to son/heir John. Lysons independently cites the same 15 Edw IV no.34 escheat/IPM for Joan dying seised of the Manor of Clayhall in Barking and its descent to John Colte. Thus the Joan IPM trail now demonstrably touches at least a Suffolk succession context and an Essex manor.: Date / Period: 4 Aug 1473 [reconstructed] -> 15 Edw IV IPM -> John Colt
Physical Land / Estate Event: Copinger's death formula resolves to 4 Aug 1473 and says Cavendish passed to son/heir John. Lysons independently cites the same 15 Edw IV no.34 escheat/IPM for Joan dying seised of the Manor of Clayhall in Barking and its descent to John Colte. Thus the Joan IPM trail now demonstrably touches at least a Suffolk succession context and an Essex manor.
Lordship / Title Event: Joan Trusbut Colt Parr; Thomas Colt; Sir William Parr; John Colt/Colte.
Rights Event: Known estate points: Cavendish/Colt's Hall succession context; Manor of Clayhall, Barking. Norfolk Trusbut estate still unknown.
Evidence / Record: Copinger, Manors of Suffolk; Lysons, Environs of London; DNB chronology control.
What It Shows: The same IPM number appearing independently for different estates sharply increases the likelihood that the original return contains a broader multi-property schedule. [Inference] This makes a county-by-county search of the IPM more promising than livery searching alone.
Colts Connection: Clayhall is not proved Trusbut-derived. Copinger may cite the IPM for heir/death rather than every Cavendish detail. Original IPM still controls.
Current Interpretation: MULTI-ESTATE JOAN IPM TRAIL — FIRST NON-CAVENDISH MANOR RECOVERED; NORFOLK CONTENT UNKNOWN.
Next Decisive Document: Locate C 140 modern shelfmark for 15 Edw IV no.34; search county histories for additional properties; trace Clayhall pre-Joan title; then compare any Norfolk entries with Trusbut fee geography.
Joan d. probable 4 Aug 1473 -> IPM 15 Edw IV no.34 -> three known estate contexts — The exact Joan IPM reference is now independently tied to three property contexts: Cavendish/Colt's Hall succession (Copinger), Clayhall in Barking descending to John Colte (Lysons), and the Manor of Suffolks in Enfield inherited by John Colt (Robinson). Robinson's family narrative is corrupted, but his property paragraph explicitly cites the same Esch. 15 Edw IV no.34.: Date / Period: Joan d. probable 4 Aug 1473 -> IPM 15 Edw IV no.34 -> three known estate contexts
Physical Land / Estate Event: The exact Joan IPM reference is now independently tied to three property contexts: Cavendish/Colt's Hall succession (Copinger), Clayhall in Barking descending to John Colte (Lysons), and the Manor of Suffolks in Enfield inherited by John Colt (Robinson). Robinson's family narrative is corrupted, but his property paragraph explicitly cites the same Esch. 15 Edw IV no.34.
Lordship / Title Event: Joan Trusbut Colt Parr; John Colt; Thomas Colt; Sir William Parr.
Rights Event: Known contexts: Cavendish/Colt's Hall, Suffolk; Clayhall, Barking, Essex; Suffolks, Enfield, Middlesex. Norfolk holdings remain unknown.
Evidence / Record: Copinger; Lysons; Robinson; all independently citing 15 Edw IV no.34. TNA method points to C140/E149 and Calendarium IV.
What It Shows: Three separate estate contexts using the same numbered IPM make a multi-county/multi-property return highly plausible. [Inference] A full C140/E149 extraction has a realistic chance of exposing additional Norfolk estates if Joan held them.
Colts Connection: Robinson misstates marriage order/husband/date. No Norfolk holding is yet found. The original return controls.
Current Interpretation: THREE-ESTATE JOAN IPM RECONSTRUCTION — ORIGINAL C140/E149 NOW CRITICAL.
Next Decisive Document: Read Calendarium IV 15 Edw IV no.34 -> map to C140 modern file/item -> check E149 counterpart -> extract all counties/properties -> then C66 livery for John Colt.
15 Edw IV inquisition — Rogers NORFOLK wording visually verified; exact manor names missing — Pass 81 visually inspected the original printed Rogers pages.

Inquis. post mortem, Richard II., p.72', proving the source defect is not OCR.: Date / Period: 15 Edw IV inquisition — Rogers NORFOLK wording visually verified; exact manor names missing
Physical Land / Estate Event: Pass 81 visually inspected the original printed Rogers pages. The page itself states that Johanna's fifteenth-year inquisition contained an extensive list of possessions in Berkshire, Middlesex, Norfolk, Essex and Suffolk. The printed footnote itself says 'Cal. Inquis. post mortem, Richard II., p.72', proving the source defect is not OCR.
Lordship / Title Event: Joan/Johanna Trusbut Colt Parr; John Colt.
Rights Event: Norfolk property is explicitly reported by Rogers at county level; no exact Norfolk manor/lands extracted. Known other estate contexts remain Cavendish, Clayhall and Suffolks.
Evidence / Record: Rogers 1879 direct scanned page; Copinger; Lysons; Robinson; TNA C140/E149/Calendarium route.
What It Shows: The evidential status is clearer: the Norfolk assertion is certainly Rogers' printed statement, while its printed citation is demonstrably anomalous. This strengthens the statement-as-source but not the unidentified underlying medieval record.
Colts Connection: No exact Norfolk place. Do not repair the Richard-II citation by assumption. Rogers' separate Materials Henry VII p127 pointer has now been identified as Thomas Colt/Roger Thorpe litigation, not John Colt livery.
Current Interpretation: NORFOLK STATEMENT VISUALLY VERIFIED — UNDERLYING IPM LAND LIST STILL THE DECISIVE TARGET.
Next Decisive Document: Calendarium 15 Edw IV no.34 -> C140/E149 -> all Norfolk places; keep John Colt livery search in C66/Patent Rolls.
Late 15th-century heiress seat — source ladder: NORFOLK -> SHINGHAM / HOLME / RUNCTON HOLME — The 1561 Suffolk visitation gives only a Norfolk Trusbut heiress. Gough's much earlier monumental account names father John Trusbut of Shingham. A separate modern pedigree says John 'of Holme, Norfolk'. BP2003-derived sites expand the seat to Runcton Holme.: Date / Period: Late 15th-century heiress seat — source ladder: NORFOLK -> SHINGHAM / HOLME / RUNCTON HOLME
Physical Land / Estate Event: The 1561 Suffolk visitation gives only a Norfolk Trusbut heiress. Gough's much earlier monumental account names father John Trusbut of Shingham. A separate modern pedigree says John 'of Holme, Norfolk'. BP2003-derived sites expand the seat to Runcton Holme.
Lordship / Title Event: John Trusbut; Joan/Jane Trusbut; Thomas Colt; Sir William Parr.
Rights Event: Competing seat descriptions: generic Norfolk; Shingham; Holme; Runcton Holme. No primary estate schedule yet attaches Joan to a particular one.
Evidence / Record: Harvey Suffolk Visitation 1561; Gough; Powys-Lybbe; BP2003-derived ThePeerage.
What It Shows: Pass 81 shows the modern evidence is not one uniform Runcton tradition. 'Holme' exists as a less specific intermediate form, making editorial/source expansion a live possibility. Gough's Shingham remains the earliest specific seat found.
Colts Connection: No claim-specific source is exposed for Powys-Lybbe's Holme wording; Gough is antiquarian; BP2003 derivative is modern. Do not merge places or select a seat.
Current Interpretation: SEAT CONFLICT REFINED — GENERIC NORFOLK / SHINGHAM / HOLME / RUNCTON HOLME ALL KEPT DISTINCT.
Next Decisive Document: Joan Norfolk IPM return; John/Thomas Trusbut wills; Shingham records; Runcton MR4/6; Harley MS1177 and other visitation copies.
15 Edw IV no.34 -> VCH source-specific C 140/52/13 citation -> five known estate contexts; 28 Jan 1478 Bodleian writ — Joan's same numbered IPM is now explicitly tied in published record-based sources to Cavendish/Colt's Hall, Clayhall, Suffolks, Boxstead Manor and 'Peytones'/Peyton Hall. VCH additionally supplies C 140/52/13 for the Clayhall/Joan passage. Bodleian MS. Ch. Norfolk 339 [corrected Pass 83] preserves a later 28 Jan 1478 commission/writ to take an inquisition of Joan's lands.: Date / Period: 15 Edw IV no.34 -> VCH source-specific C 140/52/13 citation -> five known estate contexts; 28 Jan 1478 Bodleian writ
Physical Land / Estate Event: Joan's same numbered IPM is now explicitly tied in published record-based sources to Cavendish/Colt's Hall, Clayhall, Suffolks, Boxstead Manor and 'Peytones'/Peyton Hall. VCH additionally supplies C 140/52/13 for the Clayhall/Joan passage. Bodleian MS. Ch. Norfolk 339 [corrected Pass 83] preserves a later 28 Jan 1478 commission/writ to take an inquisition of Joan's lands.
Lordship / Title Event: Joan Trusbut Colt Parr; Sir William Parr; John Colt/Colte; Thomas Colt.
Rights Event: Inheritance/IPM packet across Suffolk, Essex and Middlesex; Rogers separately states the fifteenth-year inquisition also included Norfolk, Berkshire and the other counties. Exact Norfolk places remain unknown.
Evidence / Record: VCH Essex/Barking; Copinger County of Suffolk; Copinger Manors of Suffolk; existing Copinger/Lysons/Robinson/Rogers; Bodleian Charters Catalogue.
What It Shows: The old-reference bottleneck is materially reduced: a precise modern Chancery target now exists and two further Suffolk manor contexts are tied to the same IPM number. The original C140/E149 content still controls.
Colts Connection: Very high heiress/title-identity relevance. No new Norfolk/Watlington parcel is claimed from Boxstead or Peyton; the Bodleian collection label is not treated as land-location proof.
Current Interpretation: MAJOR IPM RECONSTRUCTION UPGRADE — C 140/52 IS SAFE MODERN PIECE; /13 REMAINS UNRESOLVED; FIVE KNOWN ESTATE CONTEXTS; NORFOLK PLACE LIST STILL MISSING.
Next Decisive Document: Obtain/read all C 140/52 constituent returns/items for Joan (including source-cited /13, status unresolved) -> compare Calendarium 15 Edw IV no.34 -> E149/E152 counterparts -> extract every Norfolk property -> inspect MS. Ch. Norfolk 339 -> then search John Colt C66 livery.
15 Edw IV assignment -> 28 Jan 17 Edw IV enforcement writ (Ch./MS. Ch. Norfolk 339) — Pass 83 corrects the Bodleian target to Ch./MS. Ch. Norfolk 339. Edward IV's writ to the sheriff of London and Middlesex names John Tymperley junior as escheator of Norfolk and Suffolk and says he had been assigned in 15 Edw IV to take Joan's inquisition. VCH Roydon independently fixes the Chancery retrieval form as C 140/52, no.34; Pass-82 /13 is now treated as an unresolved sub-item/citation form rather th...: Date / Period: 15 Edw IV assignment -> 28 Jan 17 Edw IV enforcement writ (Ch./MS. Ch. Norfolk 339)
Physical Land / Estate Event: Pass 83 corrects the Bodleian target to Ch./MS. Ch. Norfolk 339. Edward IV's writ to the sheriff of London and Middlesex names John Tymperley junior as escheator of Norfolk and Suffolk and says he had been assigned in 15 Edw IV to take Joan's inquisition. VCH Roydon independently fixes the Chancery retrieval form as C 140/52, no.34; Pass-82 /13 is now treated as an unresolved sub-item/citation form rather than the final whole-packet reference.
Lordship / Title Event: Joan Trusbut-Colt-Parr; Sir William Parr; John Tymperley junior; John Colt/Colte.
Rights Event: No Norfolk manor is named by the writ. The new value is procedural: Joan's post-mortem inquiry was explicitly assigned to the joint Norfolk/Suffolk escheator.
Evidence / Record: Bodleian Calendar of Charters and Rolls (1878), Ch.339; current Bodleian catalogue MS. Ch. Norfolk 339; VCH Essex Roydon; CIPM editorial two-county procedure control.
What It Shows: [Inference] A joint Norfolk/Suffolk assignment is compatible with separate county inquisitions and uneven survival; this materially strengthens the search for a missing Norfolk return but does not prove that such a return survives.
Colts Connection: No Watlington/Shouldham/Shingham/Holme/Runcton Holme parcel is named. C 140/52 sub-item numbering remains unresolved; do not promote /13 or /34 as a modern item number without TNA confirmation.
Current Interpretation: PRIMARY-DERIVED NORFOLK/SUFFOLK IPM PROCESS NOW PROVED — EXACT NORFOLK LAND LIST STILL MISSING.
Next Decisive Document: Order/retrieve MS. Ch. Norfolk 339; request TNA C 140/52 material for Joan wife of William Parre / old 15 Edw IV no.34; search E149 by Joan + John Tymperley; extract county returns separately.
Edward-IV Joan IPM recovery strategy — Pass 84 archive-survival expansion — No new physical-land event is asserted. Pass 84 concerns survival/retrieval of the missing Norfolk county return and its evidence trail.: Date / Period: Edward-IV Joan IPM recovery strategy — Pass 84 archive-survival expansion
Physical Land / Estate Event: No new physical-land event is asserted. Pass 84 concerns survival/retrieval of the missing Norfolk county return and its evidence trail.
Lordship / Title Event: No change to the Joan -> John Colt inheritance conclusion. C 140/52 remains the safe Chancery piece-level target; exact constituent item is unresolved.
Rights Event: No new manorial right is asserted.
Evidence / Record: CIPM New Series XXVI editorial conventions; TNA IPM research guide; Mapping the Medieval Countryside E-CIPM 25-400/401 and reference table.
What It Shows: The retrieval ladder must now include E 152 enrolments, E 153 residual escheators' files, and E 136/E 357 account material in addition to C 140 and E 149. A concrete 1440 Norfolk/Suffolk packet shows one joint writ producing two county inquisitions while only the Suffolk return has a listed E149 duplicate.
Colts Connection: Indirect but very high identity significance: a negative E149 Norfolk search would not prove that no Norfolk return existed or survives elsewhere.
Current Interpretation: ARCHIVAL-SURVIVAL CONTROL UPGRADE — SEARCH EACH RECORD CLASS AND COUNTY RETURN INDEPENDENTLY; DO NOT EQUATE MISSING E149 DUPLICATE WITH MISSING NORFOLK IPM.
Next Decisive Document: C 140/52 all constituents -> E 149 -> E 152 -> E 153 -> E 136/E 357; use Joan Parre + John Tymperley junior + Norfolk/Suffolk + 15 Edw IV.
15 Edw IV no.34 -> [Inference] leading exact modern item C 140/52/34 + early archive-index routes — Pass 85 adds no physical-land transfer. The gain is source control: CIPM XXV explicitly shows that an old Calendarium item number is retained as the final number in the modern C-series reference (16 Hen VI no.35 -> C 139/86/35). With Joan independently fixed to C 140/52, no.34, [Inference] C 140/52/34 is now the leading exact item. Separate early inventories at Trinity College Oxford MSS 61–62 ...: Date / Period: 15 Edw IV no.34 -> [Inference] leading exact modern item C 140/52/34 + early archive-index routes
Physical Land / Estate Event: Pass 85 adds no physical-land transfer. The gain is source control: CIPM XXV explicitly shows that an old Calendarium item number is retained as the final number in the modern C-series reference (16 Hen VI no.35 -> C 139/86/35). With Joan independently fixed to C 140/52, no.34, [Inference] C 140/52/34 is now the leading exact item. Separate early inventories at Trinity College Oxford MSS 61–62 and Bodleian Rawlinson B.231 add independent archive-index routes.
Lordship / Title Event: Joan Trusbut-Colt-Parr; Sir William Parr; John Colt; John Tymperley junior only as existing target identifiers — no new person.
Rights Event: No new Norfolk property name. Existing five named non-Norfolk estate contexts remain unchanged; exact Norfolk return remains missing.
Evidence / Record: CIPM New Series XXV editorial introduction; VCH Roydon/Barking; Mapping the Medieval Countryside Chancery-archive history.
What It Shows: The modern item target is materially narrowed and the search now includes pre-modern archive inventories plus E 501/15–18. This improves retrieval precision without asserting any new severance or ownership event.
Colts Connection: Very high title-identity/recovery relevance; no direct modern parcel consequence until the Norfolk land schedule is recovered.
Current Interpretation: SOURCE-CONTROL UPGRADE — C 140/52/34 LEADING EXACT MAPPING [INFERENCE]; /13 CONFLICT RETAINED; EARLY INVENTORIES ADDED.
Next Decisive Document: Check/request C 140/52/34 and ask TNA to resolve /13 -> E 501/15–18 -> Trinity MSS 61–62 -> Rawlinson B.231 -> then E149/E152/E153/E136/E357 as needed.
1427 Trusbut fee -> 1451 Thomas Trussbut will -> John/William -> Jane heiress -> Thomas Colt — 1427 primary-derived IPM places Thomas Trusbut and parceners on a one-fee Watlington/Tottenhill/Garbodesthorp/Setchey/?Longham block. Parkin's 1451 will account then gives Thomas's Tittleshall lordship plus lands/foldcourses in Watlington/Tottenhill/Setchey and adjacent places to son John, with Shouldham/Marham lands to William. Parkin's Shouldham descent says William died s.p., so the manor came to...: Date / Period: 1427 Trusbut fee -> 1451 Thomas Trussbut will -> John/William -> Jane heiress -> Thomas Colt
Physical Land / Estate Event: 1427 primary-derived IPM places Thomas Trusbut and parceners on a one-fee Watlington/Tottenhill/Garbodesthorp/Setchey/?Longham block. Parkin's 1451 will account then gives Thomas's Tittleshall lordship plus lands/foldcourses in Watlington/Tottenhill/Setchey and adjacent places to son John, with Shouldham/Marham lands to William. Parkin's Shouldham descent says William died s.p., so the manor came to Jane, daughter/heir of elder brother John, who married Thomas Colt.
Lordship / Title Event: Thomas Trusbut; John Trusbut; William Trusbut; Jane/Joan Trusbut; Thomas Colt; John Colt.
Rights Event: Watlington; Tottenhill; Setchey; Garbodesthorp/Shouldham-Thorpe context; Tittleshall/Holme; Shouldham; Thorpland; Fincham.
Evidence / Record: E-CIPM 22-799; Parkin/Blomefield vol. VII; Historic England List Entry 1020446; probate target Register Aleyn fol.163.
What It Shows: [Inference] The exact 1427 fee parcels are not proved identical parcel-for-parcel with the 1451 testamentary estate, but the same holder plus overlapping Watlington/Tottenhill/Setchey geography and the explicit Thomas->John/Jane->Colt succession materially closes the medieval transmission route.
Colts Connection: Very high title-identity significance; no modern parcel survival conclusion by itself.
Current Interpretation: MEDIEVAL TRUSBUT -> COLT TITLE/HEIRESS BRIDGE CLOSED AT PRIMARY-DERIVED LEVEL; ORIGINAL WILL STILL REQUIRED FOR MANUSCRIPT-LEVEL PROOF.
Next Decisive Document: Retrieve Aleyn fol.163 -> compare exact will wording with 1427 fee -> then use 1597 HARE 2402 premises to crosswalk surviving Tudor estate geography.
Joan 15 Edw IV no.34 — supposed Norfolk return downgraded / non-blocking — Rogers' printed statement that no.34 included Norfolk is retained, but Walter Rye's dedicated Norfolk inquisition index includes real 15 Edw IV entries no.33/no.63 and does not expose no.34, Parr/Parre, Colt or Trusbut.: Date / Period: Joan 15 Edw IV no.34 — supposed Norfolk return downgraded / non-blocking
Physical Land / Estate Event: Rogers' printed statement that no.34 included Norfolk is retained, but Walter Rye's dedicated Norfolk inquisition index includes real 15 Edw IV entries no.33/no.63 and does not expose no.34, Parr/Parre, Colt or Trusbut.
Lordship / Title Event: No new person; Joan/Parr/Colt names are source-control targets only.
Rights Event: No Norfolk parcel is now inferred from Joan no.34.
Evidence / Record: Rogers 1879; Walter Rye, Norfolk Records vol. II (1892); C140/VCH citation controls.
What It Shows: [Inference] The evidence now leans against treating Joan no.34 as a Norfolk county return. The direct Trusbut->Colt inheritance is independently evidenced through Parkin/Historic England, so the Joan-IPM Norfolk theory is no longer required.
Colts Connection: No modern parcel consequence.
Current Interpretation: FALSE-LEAD CONTROL — MISSING JOAN NORFOLK RETURN NO LONGER A REQUIRED LINK; C140 RETAINED FOR SOURCE CLEANUP ONLY.
Next Decisive Document: Check actual C140 item only to resolve /13 versus /34 and Rogers' error; do not keep the title chain open pending a hypothetical Norfolk return.
7 Jun 1930 -> 18 Mar 2024 current-title control — Historic England places the modern Shouldham Village Hall on the eastern end of an approximately 87m x 25m enclosure in the field corresponding to the greater part of the >9-acre Batchelors close, later Further Homestall and within early-19C Colt's Farm. A Village Hall Trust Declaration is dated 7 Jun 1930.: Date / Period: 7 Jun 1930 -> 18 Mar 2024 current-title control
Physical Land / Estate Event: Historic England places the modern Shouldham Village Hall on the eastern end of an approximately 87m x 25m enclosure in the field corresponding to the greater part of the >9-acre Batchelors close, later Further Homestall and within early-19C Colt's Farm. A Village Hall Trust Declaration is dated 7 Jun 1930.
Lordship / Title Event: No Watlington-Colts lordship transfer is stated in the Village Hall public records. The trust event occurs about four months after the 12 Feb 1930 Humphreys->Edleston lordship conveyance, but no connection between the two instruments is proved.
Rights Event: The 1930 declaration may concern land tenure/charitable use, but full terms are unread. Current Charity Commission data says the Trust owns/leases no land/property; 2024 Parish Council minutes show the Council sought the Governance Deed and Land Registry record to understand land ownership/lease.
Evidence / Record: Historic England NHLE 1020446 + Charity Commission 304061 + Shouldham Parish Council minutes 18 Mar 2024 + NRO PD 356/129 locator
What It Shows: First precise twentieth-century legal-instrument candidate attached to a physically identified historic Colts fragment. Modern public records still require the actual deed and HMLR record to explain the legal estate.
Colts Connection: Direct to Batchelors/Further Homestall eastern fragment; not evidence for the whole close.
Current Interpretation: [Inference] POTENTIAL VALID SEVERANCE / LEASE / TRUST EVENT, NOT YET PROVED. If the 1930 deed contains an operative grant/lease from the then physical-estate owner, it may close this fragment. If governance-only, ownership must be traced elsewhere. No ownerless or stolen-land finding.
Next Decisive Document: Full 7 Jun 1930 declaration/governance deed + NRO PD 356/129 + HMLR current/historic register and title plan.
Capital messuage / Colt's close / Colt's Hall core: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Capital messuage / Colt's close / Colt's Hall core
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: HARE 2495 (1633) via Historic England
Historic Description / Extent: Capital messuage/manor house + close called Colt's; 6 acres
Later Continuity Evidence: Early-19C estate map; 1843 Homestall east/southeast of Colt's Hall Pass 102 adds a pre-tithe electoral control: 'Lemmon Charles, Shouldham' appears in the 1835 West Norfolk poll-book index. Pass 107 contextualises the preceding landscape transformation: the 1794 Shouldham + Garboiesthorpe enclosure is listed at 5,570 acres in Cooke's Arthur Young-derived table.
Present Physical Survival: Colt's Hall survives; scheduled earthworks survive around it
Current Registered Owner: Not verified from HMLR
Known Severance Evidence: No operative severance deed yet recovered; later HARE estate administration must be tested
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] Yes, if still a legally/reputed part/member of Watlington Colts and within Humphreys's title in 1930; no if already distinctly conveyed away
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found
Current Audit Status: TOP RECOVERY CANDIDATE — exact 1843 machine-map target now calculated (L12/R61436/C85456). Pass 95 adds an exact current parcel-facing address lead: Colts Hall, 21 The Green, Shouldham, PE33 0BY, with a 20 Nov 2025 conservation-area tree-works planning entry. [Inference] Hare-owner / Lemmon-occupier remains the strongest current 1843 model, but neither the 2025 planning entry nor the directory word 'farmer' proves freehold ownership. Actual tithe owner/occupier and HMLR title remain unresolved. Pass 99 targeted searches again exposed only Historic England's Homestall/Further Homestall summary and the parish planning aggregate page; neither the exact tithe owner/occupier/plot data nor the Colts Hall application reference surfaced. Pass 101 adds only a secondary modern administrative address/building control: Colts Hall appears at 21 The Green in public council-tax/EPC indexes (Band F; EPC G/potential E, score 15). This does not alter the unresolved owner/title position. Pass 102: the 1835 entry strengthens Charles Lemmon's pre-1843 Shouldham continuity only; it does not identify Colts Hall or the qualifying property. Pass 103 corrects the modern planning retrieval route: West Norfolk uses TREECA for Shouldham conservation-area tree notifications, and ordinary delegated reports exclude this application type. Pass 104 removes an evidential shortcut: the post-1840 Charles Lemmon household identity is not secure enough to infer the 1843 proprietor/occupier from later directories or the Downham property study. Pass 105 materially narrows the archive route: the Norfolk TNA map/apportionment pair is now known to be IR 30/23/[item] ↔ IR 29/23/[same item]; only Shouldham's final item and parcel data remain missing. Pass 106 removes the final-reference discovery bottleneck: Shouldham can be searched directly in the tithe collection, with the TNA item exposed by the returned record/map. The 5,570-acre figure is deliberately excluded from Colts-core acreage calculations because it is the combined enclosure entry.
Next Decisive Evidence: Immediate modern test: retrieve the full 20 Nov 2025 Borough Council Colts Hall conservation-area tree-work file by exact address/date -> record the actual application reference, applicant and plan/any ownership-related declarations actually present -> use exact address 'Colts Hall, 21 The Green, Shouldham, PE33 0BY' plus Eastgate Street form for HMLR title/index-map search. In parallel: NCC tithe tile L12/R61436/C85456 (+ adjacent tiles) -> exact Shouldham plot numbers -> TNA IR 30/IR 29 or NRO apportionment. HARE 5466 / Hare-Hoff public searching is frozen pending original bundle images. Pass 99 negative control: do not use 2/TPO/00673 for Colts Hall, and do not guess the Shouldham IR 29/IR 30 reference from other parish numbering. Pass 101 hard limit: do not use council-tax/EPC data as a title substitute; HMLR and the actual 2025 application remain decisive. Retrieve the actual 1835 qualification line/page alongside the 1843 tithe image/apportionment. Direct TREECA/tree-notification register retrieval is now the required planning step; exact 2025 reference still must be recovered rather than inferred. Actual tithe plot/apportionment remains mandatory; Lemmon family reconstruction is supporting evidence only. PASS 105: TNA county reference is now fixed as IR 30/23/[SHOULDHAM ITEM] map ↔ IR 29/23/[same item] apportionment. Recover the final item, then cross-read against NCC L12/R61436/C85456. PASS 106: bypass prior item-number discovery by searching the tithe collection directly with County=Norfolk / Parish=Shouldham and no personal name; read the returned transcript/original/map and capture the TNA piece/sub-piece from the result.
Four tenements with yards east side of Village Green south of Colts: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Four tenements with yards east side of Village Green south of Colts
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: HARE 2495 (1633) via Historic England
Historic Description / Extent: Four tenements with yards
Later Continuity Evidence: Need 1811/1843 parcel-number crosswalk; may now be fragmented village plots
Present Physical Survival: Modern plots/buildings likely occupy this strip, but exact historic-to-modern boundaries unverified
Current Registered Owner: Not verified from HMLR
Known Severance Evidence: Unknown; likely parcel-by-parcel conveyances over centuries but not yet documented
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] Only any parcel never separately severed could have followed 1930 manor conveyance
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found
Current Audit Status: HIGH-VALUE RESIDUAL-PARCEL / FRAGMENTATION AUDIT — only a fragment never separately transferred and proved through the current title chain can remain a recovery candidate
Next Decisive Evidence: NCC tithe tile L12/R61436/C85456 (+ adjacent tiles) -> read Shouldham plot numbers -> TNA IR 30/IR 29 via TheGenealogist OR NRO apportionment; NCC Shouldham tithe map plot number -> TNA IR 30/IR 29 via TheGenealogist OR NRO apportionment owner/occupier/field/acreage; Full HARE 2495 + HARE 6832 + tithe + modern cadastral/title-plan overlay PASS 105: TNA county reference is now fixed as IR 30/23/[SHOULDHAM ITEM] map ↔ IR 29/23/[same item] apportionment. Recover the final item, then cross-read against NCC L12/R61436/C85456. PASS 106: bypass prior item-number discovery by searching the tithe collection directly with County=Norfolk / Parish=Shouldham and no personal name; read the returned transcript/original/map and capture the TNA piece/sub-piece from the result.
Alder carr east of the four tenements: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Alder carr east of the four tenements
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: HARE 2495 (1633) via Historic England
Historic Description / Extent: Nearly 7 acres / c.2.8 ha
Later Continuity Evidence: Historic England locates the low-lying area and adjoining plantation corresponding to the carr
Present Physical Survival: Landscape feature/low ground survives within scheduled-area geography; exact title parcel unverified
Current Registered Owner: Not verified from HMLR
Known Severance Evidence: No specific conveyance found
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] Potential only if no later severance and still reputed/member of manor in 1930
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found
Current Audit Status: RECOVERY CANDIDATE — historic parcel clear; devolution after 1633 unclear
Next Decisive Evidence: NCC tithe tile L12/R61436/C85456 (+ adjacent tiles) -> read Shouldham plot numbers -> TNA IR 30/IR 29 via TheGenealogist OR NRO apportionment; NCC Shouldham tithe map plot number -> TNA IR 30/IR 29 via TheGenealogist OR NRO apportionment owner/occupier/field/acreage; 1811 map; 1843 tithe; 1849 terrier; HARE 5466; HMLR PASS 105: TNA county reference is now fixed as IR 30/23/[SHOULDHAM ITEM] map ↔ IR 29/23/[same item] apportionment. Recover the final item, then cross-read against NCC L12/R61436/C85456. PASS 106: bypass prior item-number discovery by searching the tithe collection directly with County=Norfolk / Parish=Shouldham and no personal name; read the returned transcript/original/map and capture the TNA piece/sub-piece from the result.
Appletons wooded close: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Appletons wooded close
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: HARE 2495 (1633) via Historic England
Historic Description / Extent: 5 acres / c.2 ha east of alder carr
Later Continuity Evidence: Historic England correlates surviving terraces/ground to Appletons
Present Physical Survival: Archaeological landform survives; current proprietary parcel unverified
Current Registered Owner: Not verified from HMLR
Known Severance Evidence: No specific conveyance found
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] Potential only if continuous/reputed manor membership survived to 1930
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found
Current Audit Status: RECOVERY CANDIDATE — physical correlation strong; title chain missing
Next Decisive Evidence: NCC tithe tile L12/R61436/C85456 (+ adjacent tiles) -> read Shouldham plot numbers -> TNA IR 30/IR 29 via TheGenealogist OR NRO apportionment; NCC Shouldham tithe map plot number -> TNA IR 30/IR 29 via TheGenealogist OR NRO apportionment owner/occupier/field/acreage; HARE 6832 + tithe + HARE 5370 + HMLR PASS 105: TNA county reference is now fixed as IR 30/23/[SHOULDHAM ITEM] map ↔ IR 29/23/[same item] apportionment. Recover the final item, then cross-read against NCC L12/R61436/C85456.

Batchelors / Further Homestall: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Batchelors / Further Homestall
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: HARE 2495 (1633); 1843 tithe via Historic England; Charity Commission 304061; Shouldham Parish Council minutes 18 Mar 2024; exact NRO locator PD 356/129.
Historic Description / Extent: Just over 9 acres north of Beerway; later 'Further Homestall'. Historic England says the first surviving rectangular enclosure is about 87m E-W by 25m and its eastern end is occupied by the modern village hall, outside the scheduling.
Later Continuity Evidence: Early-19C Colt's Farm included the scheduled area; 1843 preserves the field identity as Further Homestall. A Declaration of Trust for Shouldham Village Hall is dated 7 Jun 1930, creating a precisely dated legal-document event for the hall fragment. The 1835 poll-book index now places Charles Lemmon at Shouldham before the tithe, complementing the existing parish-register farmer sequence and 1845 Colts Hall directory evidence. Pass 104: early Charles Lemmon + Mary farmer evidence is consistent with the Discover Downham identification of Mary Winearls as first wife, but later 1850s Mary baptisms conflict with that study's Hannah-by-1840 second-wife chronology. Pass 107 adds a pre-1811 scale control of 5,570 acres for the combined 1794 Shouldham/Garboiesthorpe enclosure.
Present Physical Survival: Historic earthwork/toft area survives partly as protected pasture; the village hall occupies the eastern end of one identifiable former enclosure. The Charity Commission currently says the Village Hall Trust does not own and/or lease land/property.
Current Registered Owner: Current registered proprietor/title not yet verified. In Mar 2024 the Parish Council itself resolved to obtain the Land Registry record while investigating the background of land ownership and lease.
Known Severance Evidence: A 7 Jun 1930 trust instrument is now proved to exist, but its public metadata does NOT show whether it conveyed, gifted, leased or merely governed the hall site. It is the leading candidate severance/tenure instrument for the eastern Batchelors fragment, not yet proof of severance.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] This is now the strongest parcel-specific 'show me the severance instrument' test. If the 1930 deed validly transferred/leased the hall footprint from the then Colts/Hare physical-estate owner, that fragment can be closed accordingly. If it did not transfer the legal estate, the modern title/lessor chain must explain who owns it. No conclusion about the remainder of Batchelors follows from the hall fragment.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found; no ownerless/unclaimed status proved.
Current Audit Status: TOP SEVERANCE-INSTRUMENT TEST — historic Colts parcel geometry + exact 1930 trust date + current public ownership/lease uncertainty. The existence of the trust does not itself prove disposal. PASS 102: continuity is stronger, but ownership remains unproved because the poll qualification/property and tithe owner/occupier are unread. IDENTITY CAUTION: do not treat the full 1822–1859 baptism run as proven one-household continuity until the Mary/Hannah chronology is resolved. PASS 105: the owner/occupier question is now an exact paired-record retrieval problem rather than an unidentified TNA-series problem. PASS 106: actual owner/occupier evidence is now one direct parish-result read away; no person-name hypothesis is required to search. CONTEXT ONLY: this does not establish the extent or ownership of Colt's Farm within the enclosed landscape.
Next Decisive Evidence: Obtain full 7 Jun 1930 Trust/Governance Deed -> NRO PD 356/129 -> 2024-referenced HMLR register/title plan -> identify grantor/donor/lessor and legal estate -> overlay against HE 87m x 25m enclosure + 1843 tithe -> determine whether only hall footprint or any larger Batchelors area was validly severed. 1835 poll qualification -> 1843 tithe owner/occupier -> 1849 HARE 5370 -> HARE 5466 remains the clean sequence. Primary 1841/1851 census + marriage/death/original-register check can clean the Lemmon identity control, but it cannot replace tithe/HARE parcel evidence. PASS 105: TNA county reference is now fixed as IR 30/23/[SHOULDHAM ITEM] map ↔ IR 29/23/[same item] apportionment. Recover the final item, then cross-read against NCC L12/R61436/C85456. PASS 106: bypass prior item-number discovery by searching the tithe collection directly with County=Norfolk / Parish=Shouldham and no personal name; read the returned transcript/original/map and capture the TNA piece/sub-piece from the result.
Whole Colt's Farm / Homestall estate unit: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Whole Colt's Farm / Homestall estate unit
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: Early-19C HARE estate map + 1843 tithe; HARE 5466 later names 'Colts Farm in Shouldham'. Pass 92 adds a same-period 1875 role split: Kelly names Hare/Stephen Allen as principal landowners, Charles Lemmon as farmer, and the Court Directory gives Lemmon's exact address as Colts Hall.
Historic Description / Extent: Farm unit incorporating the scheduled former manorial core by early 19C; HARE 5466 names the whole farm, but its acreage/field schedule remains unread.
Later Continuity Evidence: HARE 5466 still lists Colts Farm in Hare estate schedules in 1871/post-1874. The 1875 Court Directory directly places Charles Lemmon at Colts Hall; the parish directory separately categorises him as farmer while Hare/Allen are principal landowners. 25-inch OS LVII.7/XLV.16 and later 1912 Kelly continue the Colts Hall/Farm identity.
Present Physical Survival: Colt's Hall/farm landscape survives physically; current farm-title extent unknown.
Current Registered Owner: Not verified from HMLR.
Known Severance Evidence: HARE 5466 is now a substantially stronger indicator that physical Colts Farm remained in the Hare estate administrative/landholding stream after the reported 1869 lordship transition, because the same-period 1875 directory independently separates the principal-landowner class from Lemmon's farming role at Colts Hall.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] Strongest current model: around 1875 Charles Lemmon operated/occupied Colts Hall/Farm while the physical farm remained in the Hare estate landholding/administrative sphere. If the reported 1869 lordship transfer is independently confirmed, this becomes strong chronological evidence that physical Colts Farm and the lordship/title had separated. Exact legal freehold still requires HARE 5466/tithe/valuation/deeds.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: MOST IMPORTANT SEVERANCE QUESTION — SAME-PERIOD EVIDENCE NOW STRONGLY SUPPORTS LANDLORD/OPERATOR SEPARATION AROUND 1875, BUT EXACT FREEHOLD WORDING IS STILL UNREAD.
Next Decisive Evidence: Priority now: full HARE 5466 Colts Farm sheet -> tenant/rent/acreage/proprietary wording; 1843 tithe owner/occupier; HARE 5370; 1910 valuation; then 1929/1930 deeds and HMLR.
Commons / wastes / Shouldham Village Green control: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Commons / wastes / Shouldham Village Green control
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: Colts tenements bordered east side of the Green in 1633; no source yet says the Green itself was Colts land
Historic Description / Extent: Village Green VG.168; ownership unclaimed in 1977
Later Continuity Evidence: Commons Commissioner registered Shouldham Parish Council after no claimant or ownership evidence emerged
Present Physical Survival: Village Green survives and is publicly managed
Current Registered Owner: Shouldham Parish Council by 1977 statutory registration decision; current register should be checked
Known Severance Evidence: Statutory ownership resolution in 1977; not shown to derive from Colts
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: No Colts basis currently proved
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None; 1977 process is evidence of lost ownership memory, not theft
Current Audit Status: LOCAL FORGOTTEN-OWNERSHIP CONTROL — EXCLUDE FROM COLTS CLAIM unless earlier proprietary evidence is found
Next Decisive Evidence: VG168 register map/file; 1749/1794 enclosure material; HARE 2495/6832 overlay
Protected pasture / scheduled medieval settlement immediately behind Colt's Hall: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Protected pasture / scheduled medieval settlement immediately behind Colt's Hall
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: Historic England links the scheduled area to the 1633 Colt's/Trussbutt's estate and says early-19C Colt's Farm included the whole scheduled settlement area
Historic Description / Extent: Surviving tofts, enclosures, hollow way and field earthworks within the former Colt's Farm/Homestall landscape
Later Continuity Evidence: Norfolk Heritage Explorer says the earthworks remain beneath untouched pasture and have been under a protection agreement since 2001
Present Physical Survival: Strong physical survival; exact modern cadastral boundary/proprietor still unverified
Current Registered Owner: Not verified from HMLR
Known Severance Evidence: No deed severing this surviving pasture from Colt's Farm/manor has yet been recovered; protection agreement may identify a modern owner/occupier
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] Potentially, but only the portion still legally/reputedly part of the manor in 1930 could have passed; unchanged landscape is not proof of unchanged title
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found
Current Audit Status: TOP MODERN PARCEL-TITLE TARGET — overlay scheduled boundary against HMLR INSPIRE, then obtain register/plan and 1910 valuation entry
Colts Hall / Colts Hall Farm farmstead title footprint: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Colts Hall / Colts Hall Farm farmstead title footprint
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: Historic Colts capital-messuage/farm core; surviving Hall at NGR TF6784408887; 1843 Homestall; 1912 Kelly; 20 Nov 2025 conservation-area lime-tree planning entry at Colts Hall, 21 The Green; Borough Council listed-buildings schedule.
Historic Description / Extent: Modern Hall is c.1830; adjacent listed barn uses re-used medieval/C16 fabric; exact relationship to 1633 building footprint must not be assumed. Official address controls now include both 'Colts Hall, 21 The Green, PE33 0BY' and Council-listed '21 Colts Hall' under Eastgate Street.
Later Continuity Evidence: Walter Lemmon is at Colts Hall / Colts Hall Farm in 1912. PASS 98 restores the correct 2025 event: T1/T2 lime-tree conservation-area works at Colts Hall. Application 2/TPO/00673 / T6 Grey Poplar is King George Playing Field and is not a Colts Hall title lead. Pass 101 adds independent secondary administrative-property presence at the same exact postal address: Council Tax Band F and an EPC-index house entry (G; potential E; score 15). Pass 102 places Charles Lemmon at Shouldham in the 1835 electoral index, ten years before White's direct 1845 Colts Hall association.
Present Physical Survival: Hall and barn survive; precise modern property identity is now well controlled across NGR, Eastgate Street and 21 The Green address forms. The current exact postal/building identity is therefore independently reproduced across planning, listed-building and public property-data sources.
Current Registered Owner: Not verified from HMLR. Exact Colts Hall planning application reference/full file not yet recovered; applicant/proprietor unknown. Council-tax/EPC classification does not establish the current freehold proprietor.
Known Severance Evidence: No modern freehold conveyance chain retrieved; building survival/occupation does not identify proprietor. The TPO application is an ownership-clue route only, not a severance instrument.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] The standard tree-work form can identify whether the applicant claims to own the tree(s) and, if not, may name the tree owner. This can narrow the current proprietor search but cannot by itself prove the whole Colts Hall freehold or historic manor-land extent.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: HIGH-PRIORITY FARMSTEAD CROSSWALK — EXACT TPO REF + DUAL OFFICIAL ADDRESS CONTROL; CURRENT HMLR TITLE STILL MISSING. PASS 101: administrative-property cross-check strengthens address identity only; legal title remains open. PASS 102: this improves chronological continuity but still does not establish the freehold owner of the farmstead. Pass 103 corrects the modern planning retrieval route: West Norfolk uses TREECA for Shouldham conservation-area tree notifications, and ordinary delegated reports exclude this application type. Pass 104: the Lemmon family chronology is explicitly quarantined from title inference because the wife-name sequence after 1840 is internally unresolved.
Next Decisive Evidence: Retrieve the full Borough Council Colts Hall conservation-area tree-work file by address/date -> identify its true reference, applicant, site/tree plan and any ownership-related declaration actually present -> search HMLR using both 21 The Green and Eastgate Street/21 Colts Hall -> obtain register/title plan -> overlay against HE NGR, scheduled boundary, 1843 Homestall and historic maps. Use the address controls only to retrieve the Borough file/HMLR result; do not infer owner or boundary from Band/EPC data. Direct TREECA/tree-notification register retrieval is now the required planning step; exact 2025 reference still must be recovered rather than inferred. Continue to use 1845 'Lemmon Charles — Colts Hall' as direct address/occupation evidence only; resolve household identity separately. PASS 105: TNA county reference is now fixed as IR 30/23/[SHOULDHAM ITEM] map ↔ IR 29/23/[same item] apportionment. Recover the final item, then cross-read against NCC L12/R61436/C85456. PASS 106: bypass prior item-number discovery by searching the tithe collection directly with County=Norfolk / Parish=Shouldham and no personal name; read the returned transcript/original/map and capture the TNA piece/sub-piece from the result.
1597 outlying Colt estate package — Runcton Holme / Thorpland / Tottenhill / Setchey / Wiggenhalls / Terrington / Marshland: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: 1597 outlying Colt estate package — Runcton Holme / Thorpland / Tottenhill / Setchey / Wiggenhalls / Terrington / Marshland
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: HARE 2402 official NRO catalogue description says George Colt's 17 Mar 1597 bargain-and-sale included associated messuages, lands and tenements in these places alongside the expressly named Watlington Coltes/Trusbuttes manor
Historic Description / Extent: No acreages or individual parcel names recovered from the catalogue abstract
Later Continuity Evidence: Later parcel continuity not yet reconstructed; several places underwent enclosure, estate exchange and registration changes
Present Physical Survival: Unknown parcel-by-parcel
Current Registered Owner: Not identified
Known Severance Evidence: Unknown; the full deed and later conveyances are needed to see which parcels were sold independently
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] Potential only if a parcel remained legally/reputedly part/member of the manor or otherwise stayed in the same vendor title through 1930. Being in the same 1597 deed is not enough by itself.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found
Current Audit Status: NEW OUTLYING-ESTATE AUDIT — high historic relevance, but manor-membership and modern successor parcels unproved
1597 Watlington / Tottenhill / Setchey subcluster: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: 1597 Watlington / Tottenhill / Setchey subcluster
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: HARE 2402 includes Colt lands in Watlington, Tottenhill and Setchey; medieval Watlington fee evidence also links Watlington/Tottenhill/Setchey but identities and parcel descent must be controlled
Historic Description / Extent: Unspecified messuages, lands and tenements in the 1597 catalogue abstract
Later Continuity Evidence: 1930 deed independently names Watlington, Watlington Colts/Trusbutts and Tottenhill among the four lordship package; no physical parcel schedule yet recovered
Present Physical Survival: Unknown
Current Registered Owner: Not identified
Known Severance Evidence: 1749 Watlington inclosure and other later conveyances are major possible severance/transformation points
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] This subcluster deserves priority because both 1597 and 1930 instruments name overlapping territorial/title interests, but no present land ownership follows without parcel-level continuity.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found
Current Audit Status: PRIORITY OUTLYING CLUSTER — crosswalk HARE 2402, 1749 award, 1910 valuation, 1929/1930 deeds and HMLR
Unregistered / residual manorial fragment — general legal recovery class: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Unregistered / residual manorial fragment — general legal recovery class
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: HMLR PG22: physical manorial land can consist of scattered small pieces only where not transferred separately; PG10/PG1/PG2 govern modern status and proof
Historic Description / Extent: Any specifically reconstructed Colts parcel whose historic identity is proved and whose separate severance is not proved
Later Continuity Evidence: Must be traced through estate maps, deeds, assents, occupation/rent evidence and the 1929/1930 Watlington title instruments
Present Physical Survival: Parcel-dependent; physical survival alone is not title evidence
Current Registered Owner: Unknown until official SIM/title search. If SIM confirms unregistered, that still means owned by somebody, not ownerless.
Known Severance Evidence: A distinct freehold transfer defeats this class for the transferred parcel; absence of a found deed is not itself proof no transfer occurred
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] Potentially yes only if the specific parcel remained in the vendor's title in 1930 and devolved through the later legal chain to the present claimant
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found
Current Audit Status: LEGAL RECOVERY CLASS — NOT A PROVED PRESENT PARCEL OR PRESENT OWNERSHIP
Next Decisive Evidence: Reconstruct parcel plan → HMLR SIM → obtain affected registered titles/cautions → prove root/devolution from 1929/1930 deeds and assents → use PG2 reconstruction only if title deeds are genuinely lost
Trussbut Lodge, 22 The Green — modern place-name lead: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Trussbut Lodge, 22 The Green — modern place-name lead
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: Current secondary property-address page uses 'Trussbut Lodge' at 22 The Green while listing Colts Hall at 21 The Green
Historic Description / Extent: Modern named residential property; historic origin/date of the name not yet found
Later Continuity Evidence: Official 2009 council statement shows Trussbot Lodge is modern/post-war development; no historical continuity survives from the name itself.
Present Physical Survival: Current address exists in public property data; exact cadastral relationship to Colts Hall/historic tenements not yet proved
Current Registered Owner: Not verified from HMLR
Known Severance Evidence: Not applicable as a historic-severance clue; the modern house/name post-dates the historic Trussbut estate.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: No. The modern name cannot support a 1930 devolution inference.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found
Current Audit Status: HISTORIC-CONTINUITY LEAD CLOSED / DOWNGRADED — retain only as modern location control
Next Decisive Evidence: No further title priority from the name alone. Re-open only if a pre-modern deed/map independently uses Trussbot/Trussbut for this exact parcel.
Shouldham enclosure residual strips — former greens / commons / road verges / drains / waste: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Shouldham enclosure residual strips — former greens / commons / road verges / drains / waste
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: 1796 enclosure notice proves named Shouldham/Shouldham Thorpe greens, commons, fen/waste and roads were being formally reorganised; several crossed or adjoined Thomas Hare land. No specific Colts ownership of these features is yet proved.
Historic Description / Extent: Pound/Found Green; Seaff Green; Abbey Common; South Green; Hengate/Finchley/Thorpe/Fedderston Greens; Button Fen; roads, lanes and drain/fence infrastructure covered by the 1798 schedule.
Later Continuity Evidence: 1798 allotment schedule exists; later HARE 6832 (1811) and 1843 tithe should show what became of each feature.
Present Physical Survival: Many road/green corridors likely survive physically in altered form; exact legal parcels are unverified.
Current Registered Owner: Not verified from HMLR. Highway surface ownership and underlying/subsoil title may differ.
Known Severance Evidence: The 1794–98 enclosure itself is a major transformation/allotment event, but the exact awards and proprietary allocations have not yet been read.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] Only a specific strip shown by the enclosure/title chain to remain with the relevant manor/estate and not separately conveyed could potentially descend through the later title chain.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found
Current Audit Status: NEW HIGH-PRIORITY ENCLOSURE-RESIDUE AUDIT — NOT PROVED COLTS LAND
Next Decisive Evidence: Full 1798 schedule/award/map → 1811 HARE 6832 → 1843 tithe → 1871 HARE 5466 → 1910 valuation/modern maps → HMLR SIM/title plans.
Road subsoil / verge / hedge-and-ditch / stream or water-bed micro-fragments: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Road subsoil / verge / hedge-and-ditch / stream or water-bed micro-fragments
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: No Colts-specific modern fragment is yet proved. HMLR PG40 confirms legal presumptions can place roadway soil, ditches, stream beds or lake beds within adjoining ownership, subject to contrary evidence.
Historic Description / Extent: Potential slivers beneath/along old roads, lanes, verges, ditches, banks, non-tidal streams or enclosed water adjoining proven historic Colts parcels.
Later Continuity Evidence: Requires parcel-by-parcel deed and boundary-plan tracing; general-boundary registration can leave exact legal lines unresolved.
Present Physical Survival: Physical features may survive while ownership differs from surface use/maintenance.
Current Registered Owner: Not verified. A highway authority may hold the highway surface while underlying soil may have a different title; presumptions are rebuttable.
Known Severance Evidence: Any conveyance, enclosure allotment, statutory vesting, determined boundary or contrary deed wording can defeat the residual-title hypothesis.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] Potential only where a specific micro-parcel can be tied to the historic Colts holding and shown never to have been separately transferred out of the claimant's devolution.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found
Current Audit Status: LEGAL MICRO-PARCEL CONTROL — useful search class, not an ownership finding
Next Decisive Evidence: Map historic abuttals/roads → establish highway/feature status → inspect pre-registration deeds → SIM/adjoining registers → resolve any apparent unregistered sliver.
1512 Watlington court-roll holding set — five customary transactions, parcel names unresolved: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: 1512 Watlington court-roll holding set — five customary transactions, parcel names unresolved
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: SL26/6/CR/1 now establishes a functioning 1512 general court of a Manor of Watlington with repeated customary surrender/admission transactions. It does NOT yet identify the manor as Colts/Trussbutts.
Historic Description / Extent: At least five transaction blocks. Formulae show surrender into the lord's hands, admission of a recipient, tenant/heirs, manor custom, services formerly due and accustomed, entry fines, fealty and full seisin by the rod in at least one entry. Personal names, exact holding descriptions, quantities and boundaries remain unresolved.
Later Continuity Evidence: Immediate comparison remains the 8 Jul 1506 Wyatt/Pynkeney fine, but Pass 65 further expands the competing medieval streams. The 1329/30 Bardolf IPM separately records a Geoffrey Bryseyard 'Watlington and Longham' manor and another Watlington-linked one-fee block. Later scholarship and Tawney point to a distinct 1610-11 Coke/Holkham Longham-Priors-Watlington complex. [Inference] This makes the Bryseyard/Longham stream a weaker candidate for the Shouldham-centred Trusbut fee and strengthens the need to identify SL26/6 internally rather than by place-name.
Present Physical Survival: Unknown until the individual 1512 holdings can be named and mapped.
Current Registered Owner: Not applicable / not identifiable until a specific holding is reconstructed.
Known Severance Evidence: Unknown. A customary tenant holding may later have been surrendered, inherited, enfranchised or separately conveyed; the court roll alone does not establish the later freehold chain.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] Valuable as a parcel-genealogy source, but the holdings recorded are tenant/customary estates rather than automatically the lord's demesne. Only a specific parcel/right shown to remain in the relevant manor-owner's title could feed into the 1930 conveyance; the 1512 admissions themselves do not make those tenant holdings present lordship land.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found
Current Audit Status: PRIMARY PARCEL-GENEALOGY SOURCE — CONTENT SUBSTANTIALLY READ; COLTS IDENTITY AND FACT-SPECIFIC PARCELS STILL UNRESOLVED. RAMSEY ABBEY 1435-36 GENERIC WATLINGTON COURT NOW ADDED AS A COMPETING IDENTITY CONTROL; FYNCHAM CLERICAL/FAMILY BRIDGE REMAINS SECONDARY.
Next Decisive Evidence: Priority comparison order: recover first 1540 Watlington-with-West Dereham roll; recover Simon Fyncham probate/institution and St Peter presentation; recover Ramsey 1435-36 roll; trace the 1330 Bryseyard Watlington-and-Longham block into the 1610-11 Longham/Priors/Coke material; compare the separate Trusbut 1403/1427 fee; continue HARE 1870-1 / 1875-6. Do not merge streams absent documentary crossover.
One rood of 'old poor's land' — 1845 micro-parcel control: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: One rood of 'old poor's land' — 1845 micro-parcel control
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: No Colts evidence. White 1845 separately identifies one rood of old poor's land.
Historic Description / Extent: 1 rood (quarter acre), let for 12s in 1845; separate from the 95-acre Fuel Allotment.
Later Continuity Evidence: Later status not yet traced. 1912 directory still refers generally to poor's land and fuel allotment.
Present Physical Survival: Unknown; exact parcel not yet located.
Current Registered Owner: Unknown.
Known Severance Evidence: None identified; this is a control parcel, not a Colts claim.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: No Colts basis. Its importance is demonstrating that a tiny separately identified historic landholding could survive locally.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: LOCAL MICRO-PARCEL SURVIVAL CONTROL — EXCLUDE FROM COLTS CLAIM unless an independent Colts link is found.
Next Decisive Evidence: Trace through 1794 award/poor-land papers, later charity schemes, ACC 2022/153 and HMLR.
Shouldham Poors Charity / Mill Road allotment — modern surviving special-purpose land lead: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Shouldham Poors Charity / Mill Road allotment — modern surviving special-purpose land lead
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: No Colts evidence. Charity Commission roots charity 207556 in 1794 Inclosure Award; council says Shouldham Poors Charity offered allotment land at Mill Road.
Historic Description / Extent: Modern allotment/community-orchard land at entry to village from Mill Road; acreage not stated.
Later Continuity Evidence: Charity 207556 remains registered and Commission says it owns and/or leases land/property; council project material gives modern parcel location.
Present Physical Survival: Land is in current community-orchard use/project context; exact cadastral extent not retrieved.
Current Registered Owner: Not verified. Charity may own or lease; council source does not state title number.
Known Severance Evidence: Unknown. Relationship to original 95A fuel allotment / one-rood poor's land not yet proved.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: No Colts basis. This is a modern control proving that an old special-purpose land stream can still have an identifiable parcel.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: VERY HIGH LOCAL CONTINUITY CONTROL — NOT COLTS LAND; exact charity/title chain now traceable.
Next Decisive Evidence: Confirm charity identity 207556 → obtain site plan/agreement → HMLR title/SIM → compare 1794 award, 1845 and ACC 2022/153.
ACC 2022/153 possible Shouldham extent — late 15th/early 16th-century holding landscape: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: ACC 2022/153 possible Shouldham extent — late 15th/early 16th-century holding landscape
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: Potential contextual overlap only; TNA says ?Shouldham, or possibly Fincham/Runcton Holme.
Historic Description / Extent: Part of an extent; exact holdings/acreages/tenants not yet known.
Later Continuity Evidence: Could be compared directly with SL26/6/CR/1 (1512), HARE 2402/2403 (1597) and HARE 2495 (1633) if the place proves to be Shouldham.
Present Physical Survival: Not applicable until transcription.
Current Registered Owner: Not applicable.
Known Severance Evidence: Unknown.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] If it is genuinely a Shouldham extent and names holdings later identifiable as Colts/Trussbutts, it could materially extend parcel continuity backward toward 1512.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: CRITICAL EARLY-PARCEL RETRIEVAL TARGET — identity explicitly uncertain.
Next Decisive Evidence: Obtain ACC 2022/153 extent images/item description; transcribe; compare every person/place/abuttal to 1512 court roll and later Colts records.
HMLR INSPIRE apparent-gap screen — current freehold geometry: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: HMLR INSPIRE apparent-gap screen — current freehold geometry
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: No ownership evidence by itself; method applied only after historic Colts geometry is reconstructed.
Historic Description / Extent: Any historic Colts candidate polygon or micro-strip lacking/partly lacking current INSPIRE freehold coverage.
Later Continuity Evidence: August 2026 current freehold polygon dataset + new INSPIRE-ID lookup can identify candidate registered-freehold coverage and apparent gaps.
Present Physical Survival: Parcel-dependent.
Current Registered Owner: Not established by INSPIRE. SIM/register/plan required.
Known Severance Evidence: No severance conclusion from polygon presence/absence alone.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] An apparent gap is worth prioritising, but only a proven unregistered parcel with an unbroken claimant title chain could become a recovery candidate.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: SCREENING CLASS ONLY — apparent gap ≠ unregistered ≠ ownerless ≠ Colts.
Next Decisive Evidence: Download King's Lynn & West Norfolk GML → clip to historic parcel polygons → log INSPIRE IDs/gaps → run SIM on every serious gap.
1985 10-acre freehold 'near the hall', Shouldham — Pearce Farms mortgage: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: 1985 10-acre freehold 'near the hall', Shouldham — Pearce Farms mortgage
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: No direct Colts title evidence. Official Companies House proves a distinct 10-acre freehold parcel at Shouldham; Alfred George Pearce's company/officer correspondence was at Colts Hall.
Historic Description / Extent: 10 acres freehold; described only as 'near the hall shouldham kings lynn norfolk'.
Later Continuity Evidence: Charge created 15 Jan 1985; official filing history now confirms a 403b 'Declaration of mortgage charge released/ceased' filed 16 Jun 1992; charges were later satisfied 13 Aug 2009. Separate company charges covered Mill Farm and Sutton Fen Farm acreage.
Present Physical Survival: Unknown until mortgage/title geometry is recovered.
Current Registered Owner: Not verified from HMLR.
Known Severance Evidence: The 1985 mortgage proves separate freehold treatment at that date. The 16 Jun 1992 403b is a possible release/restructuring event, but the public metadata does not identify which charge/property it affected; it cannot yet be treated as severance of the 10-acre parcel.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] Only if the parcel can be matched to proven Colts land and its chain reconciled with the 1930 manor conveyance. At present this is a modern identification lead, not a recovery conclusion.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: VERY HIGH MODERN PARCEL IDENTIFICATION LEAD — HALL IDENTITY AND COLTS LINK UNPROVED.
Next Decisive Evidence: Request/read the 16 Jun 1992 403b first → identify charge/property/extent → recover historic HMLR title number/plan → geolocate the 10 acres → overlay 1633 HARE 2495, 1811 map, tithe, HARE 5466 and pre-1930 OS/Valuation Office plans → trace conveyances both directions.
1883 livestock pound site within scheduled Colts-farm landscape: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: 1883 livestock pound site within scheduled Colts-farm landscape
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: Historic England places the pound platform within the scheduled settlement landscape around Colt's Hall and derives surrounding Colts components from HARE 2495; it does not state that the pound itself was owned by the manor.
Historic Description / Extent: Low sub-rectangular platform about 38m WNW–ESE x 28m in south-west corner bordering the road; pound marked on 1883 OS.
Later Continuity Evidence: 1883 OS mark survives as identifiable archaeological platform in Historic England description.
Present Physical Survival: Platform/earthwork survives within scheduled monument landscape.
Current Registered Owner: Not verified from HMLR.
Known Severance Evidence: Unknown. Pound function/site may have been parish, manor, estate or other land depending on title history.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] Potential only if enclosure/tithe/deeds show the pound soil remained part of Colts/reputed manor land and was not separately vested/conveyed.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: HIGH-PRIORITY MICROPARCEL / MANORIAL-FUNCTION TEST — FUNCTION DOES NOT EQUAL OWNERSHIP.
Next Decisive Evidence: Plot exact 1883 OS pound → 1798 enclosure schedule/map → 1811 HARE map → 1843 tithe parcel/owner → 1910 valuation → modern SIM/title.
1911 Shouldham small-holdings 30A/16A fields — statutory fragmentation control: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: 1911 Shouldham small-holdings 30A/16A fields — statutory fragmentation control
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: No Colts-specific evidence in Hansard.
Historic Description / Extent: 30-acre proposed acquisition field; alternative 16-acre field adjoining other small holdings.
Later Continuity Evidence: Hansard proves the acquisition proposal and refusal/alternative offer; farm and later outcome unverified.
Present Physical Survival: Unknown.
Current Registered Owner: Unknown.
Known Severance Evidence: Potential statutory acquisition/lease/reorganisation process, but the 30-acre order was not confirmed and no completion of the 16-acre alternative is stated.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: No direct route to the 1930 manor without identifying the farm/parcels.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: HIGH-VALUE LOCAL FRAGMENTATION CONTROL — NOT A COLTS CLAIM PARCEL.
Next Decisive Evidence: Norfolk County Small Holdings Committee / Board of Agriculture files → farm/owner → maps → compare to Hare/Colts estate schedules.
1910–15 Valuation Office dual-route bridge — TNA IR 127/8 / IR 58 + NRO P/DLV/1: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: 1910–15 Valuation Office dual-route bridge — TNA IR 127/8 / IR 58 + NRO P/DLV/1
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: No new Colts ownership finding yet. Historic Colts geometry is already anchored by HARE 2495/HARE 6832/tithe; the valuation records can attach Edwardian owner/occupier/legal-interest data to the matching assessment parcels.
Historic Description / Extent: Annotated 25-inch plans for Norfolk LVII.7 and XLV.16 in Peterborough (King's Lynn) District IR 127/8; Pass 90 identifies IR 127/8/450–458 as an exact accessioned plan run to test. Local NRO valuation-book/schedule reference remains unknown.
Later Continuity Evidence: 1904/05 OS editions bracket the survey; 1927/28 editions provide immediate pre-1930 geometry. Both Shouldham sheets must be tested. Current TheGenealogist Lloyd George coverage does not yet include Norfolk.
Present Physical Survival: Physical landscape/map coverage survives digitally; national annotated plans/IR58 and local P/DLV records still need retrieval.
Current Registered Owner: Not yet identified; IR 58 field books and local valuation books can name owner/occupier and legal interest.
Known Severance Evidence: Unknown until assessment/field-book/local valuation records and subsequent deeds are read.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] If the same proprietor/estate appears on the proven Colts parcel immediately before 1929/1930, continuity strengthens. A distinct freeholder would identify a potential earlier severance. The local and national records should be cross-checked rather than relying on one series.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: CRITICAL PRE-1930 OWNERSHIP CROSSWALK — TWO INDEPENDENT RECORD ROUTES NOW DEFINED; OWNER STILL UNREAD.
Next Decisive Evidence: Test IR 127/8/450–458 for BOTH LVII.7 and XLV.16 -> assessment/hereditament no. + income-tax parish -> IR 58 field book. In parallel locate NRO P/DLV/1 Shouldham/income-tax-parish valuation book -> compare owner/occupier/area -> 1929/1930 deeds.
2001 protection agreement + 2002 scheduling file — Colts-farm earthworks owner/parcel identification route: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: 2001 protection agreement + 2002 scheduling file — Colts-farm earthworks owner/parcel identification route
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: Historic England ties the scheduled area to the 1633 Colts components and later Colt's Farm; Norfolk Heritage Explorer says the surviving pasture earthworks have been under a protection agreement since 2001.
Historic Description / Extent: Scheduled monument 1020446, NGR TF6798808844, legacy RSM 30601; landscape north/east/southeast of Colt's Hall. Exact protection-agreement cadastral parcel/title is not public.
Later Continuity Evidence: Protection agreement since 2001; monument first scheduled 11 Feb 2002. Historic England says the official list copy derives from an original held by DCMS.
Present Physical Survival: Earthworks survive beneath pasture; scheduled-monument map exists.
Current Registered Owner: Not stated on the public heritage records.
Known Severance Evidence: No severance deed identified. Protection/scheduling is not itself a transfer of ownership.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] The administrative files may identify the then owner/occupier and definitive protected boundary, providing a modern-title bridge; they do not themselves establish devolution with the lordship.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: VERY HIGH MODERN OWNER/PARCEL IDENTIFICATION ROUTE — NOT TITLE EVIDENCE UNTIL FILES ARE READ.
Next Decisive Evidence: Request NHER 4283 protection agreement + plan and Historic England/DCMS designation file under RSM 30601 / NHLE 1020446 → extract owner/occupier only if present → identify HMLR title(s) → crosswalk historic Colts parcels.
1506 Wallington/Thorpland comparator — CP 25/1/170/197 no.102: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: 1506 Wallington/Thorpland comparator — CP 25/1/170/197 no.102
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: No Colts ownership evidence. Direct legal comparator seven weeks before the Wyatt Watlyngton manor concord.
Historic Description / Extent: 3 messuages + 30 acres in Wallyngton' and Thorplond'; parties William and Robert Amfles v Thomas and Ellen Holdyche.
Later Continuity Evidence: Same Feet of Fines series: no.102 on 22 May 1506; no.106 on 8 Jul 1506 separately records the Manor of Watlyngton', free fold and St Peter advowson.
Present Physical Survival: Historic geography survives as Wallington cum Thorpland; this row is not a candidate Colts parcel.
Current Registered Owner: Not applicable.
Known Severance Evidence: No severance event. It is a distinct legal-property stream.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: No. Its value is to prevent a false merger of Wallington/Thorpland into Watlington when reconstructing the Tudor title and 1512 court.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: VERY HIGH IDENTITY / PLACE-NAME CONTROL — EXCLUDE FROM COLTS CLAIM PARCELS.
Next Decisive Evidence: Use as a mandatory comparator whenever a Tudor source says Wallington/Walyngton/Watlington; require record-specific proof before normalising.
Ramsey Abbey Watlington manor court — 14 Hen VI (1435-1436) identity comparator: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Ramsey Abbey Watlington manor court — 14 Hen VI (1435-1436) identity comparator
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: No Colts ownership evidence. Official archival inventory places a Watlington manor court baron/customary court roll within Ramsey Abbey's Norfolk estate records.
Historic Description / Extent: Underlying court roll not yet retrieved; exact tenants, parcels, lord and steward unknown.
Later Continuity Evidence: Predates Wyatt's 1506 Watlington manor by ~70 years and SL26/6 by ~76 years; provides a distinct possible generic-Watlington institutional stream.
Present Physical Survival: Not a modern parcel candidate.
Current Registered Owner: Not applicable.
Known Severance Evidence: No severance event shown.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: No. Its value is identity control: it demonstrates that a generic Watlington manorial court existed in another archival/estate context.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: CRITICAL MULTIPLE-MANOR IDENTITY CONTROL — EXCLUDE FROM COLTS CLAIM UNLESS A DOCUMENTARY BRIDGE IS FOUND.
Next Decisive Evidence: Recover modern shelfmark/original roll → transcribe lord/steward/tenants/holdings → compare with 1506 Wyatt, 1512 SL26/6, St Peter patronage, Gawsell/Shuldham and HARE records.
Watlington-with-West Dereham court-roll series — 1540-1566, 1786-1909: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Watlington-with-West Dereham court-roll series — 1540-1566, 1786-1909
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: No Colts ownership evidence yet. Named catalogue series for a distinct Watlington-with-West Dereham manor court.
Historic Description / Extent: Underlying holdings unknown until rolls are read.
Later Continuity Evidence: Begins in 1540; [Inference] candidate for William Butts's first court for the former West Dereham Abbey manor in Watlington. Later series resumes 1786.
Present Physical Survival: Not a modern parcel candidate until holdings are extracted and mapped.
Current Registered Owner: Unknown.
Known Severance Evidence: Unknown; court continuity does not itself prove land-title continuity.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] If 1540 tenants/holdings recur in SL26/6, this could identify the 1512 manor stream; if they do not, it can eliminate a major candidate.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: CRITICAL 1512 MANOR-IDENTIFICATION / ELIMINATION SERIES — NOT COLTS UNTIL BRIDGED.
Next Decisive Evidence: Direct catalogue/film/shelfmark -> first 1540 court -> transcribe all names/holdings -> compare 1512 -> trace through 1566 and later 1786+ records.
Tittleshall alias Trusbutts in Runcton Holme and Tottenhall — court book 1622-1785: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Tittleshall alias Trusbutts in Runcton Holme and Tottenhall — court book 1622-1785
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: No target Colts ownership evidence. TNA official accession describes a separate named manor in the same broader landscape.
Historic Description / Extent: Underlying tenants/holdings/incidents unknown until court book inspection.
Later Continuity Evidence: ACC 2002/145 supplies a long continuous court-book target; Vision of Britain places Tittleshall manor within Runcton Holme.
Present Physical Survival: Not a present Colts parcel candidate.
Current Registered Owner: Unknown.
Known Severance Evidence: No target severance event shown.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: No. Its immediate role is to distinguish collateral Trusbut/Tittleshall property from Watlington-Colts/Trussbutts and prevent surname/title conflation.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: COLLATERAL TRUSBUT COMPARATOR — EXCLUDE FROM TARGET CLAIM ABSENT EXPRESS BRIDGE.
Next Decisive Evidence: Resolve NRO subreference -> extract manor title/lord/steward/tenant index -> compare 1597 Watlington Coltes/Trusbuttes deed and Runcton Holme holdings.
1330 Geoffrey Bryseyard — manor in Watlington and Longham: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: 1330 Geoffrey Bryseyard — manor in Watlington and Longham
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: No Colts ownership evidence. Bardolf IPM places a distinct manor/fee under the Wormegay honour.
Historic Description / Extent: Manor in Watlington and Longham, held for 1 knight's fee; exact parcels/acreage not itemised in the calendar clause.
Later Continuity Evidence: Distinct from another contemporary one-fee Watlington/Foston/Wallington/Setchey/Hardwick block. Later 1403/1427 Trusbut fee must be bridged, not assumed.
Present Physical Survival: Not a modern parcel candidate.
Current Registered Owner: Unknown.
Known Severance Evidence: No severance event shown.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] A possible competing antecedent to later Longham/Priors/Coke material; not currently the preferred Trusbut antecedent.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: CRITICAL MEDIEVAL IDENTITY CONTROL — EXCLUDE FROM COLTS UNTIL A DESCENT BRIDGE IS FOUND.
Next Decisive Evidence: Trace Bryseyard/Brisyerd title -> Longham/Priors records -> Coke/Holkham; independently trace Trusbut fee -> compare tenants, services and places.
Longham-Priors-Coke / Holkham 1610-1611 stream: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Longham-Priors-Coke / Holkham 1610-1611 stream
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: No Colts ownership evidence. Separate Longham Priors purchase and Holkham manuscript labels involving Longham/Watlington/Priors.
Historic Description / Extent: Underlying 1611 holdings not yet extracted.
Later Continuity Evidence: Coke purchase 28 Sep 1610; Tawney source list identifies 1611 Longham and Watlington / Watlington and Priors records.
Present Physical Survival: Not a present Colts parcel candidate.
Current Registered Owner: Unknown.
Known Severance Evidence: No target severance event shown.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: No. Its role is to provide a competing Longham/Watlington title stream and prevent the 1330 Longham manor from being silently folded into Trusbut/Colts.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: COMPETING LONGHAM/PRIORS STREAM — EXCLUDE FROM TARGET CLAIM ABSENT EXPRESS CROSSOVER.
Next Decisive Evidence: Recover Holkham manuscript/catalogue originals -> extract tenants/parcels/foldcourse -> compare 1330 Bryseyard and 1427 Trusbut clusters.
Kervile Manor of Watlington / Richard succession / Geoffrey Islington estate — 1427-1567+ comparator: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Kervile Manor of Watlington / Richard succession / Geoffrey Islington estate — 1427-1567+ comparator
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: No Colts ownership evidence. Robert's 1434 will directly gives the Watlington manor to Richard and separately gives Geoffrey a fee-simple messuage and named lands in Islington. Gurney's Watlington pedigree says Richard died without issue, but Pass 71 identifies no stated underlying source for that claim.
Historic Description / Extent: Watlington manor; Monys; Kreykyscroft; Geoffrey's Islington messuage and named Derebougth, Andrewys, Oldrobbyslond, Reynhaldeslond, Bulweryslond, Goldmeysacre, Palmeryscroft and Rokys; later Watlington capital messuage, rents/services, windmills, foldcourse-and-a-half.
Later Continuity Evidence: Pass 71 correction: Gurney explicitly says Islington Court Rolls contributed to corrections of the Wiggenhall St Mary's pedigree, not expressly to the separate Watlington pedigree. Thus Richard d.s.p. is not yet court-roll-grounded. Geoffrey's Islington holdings, however, are directly grounded in Robert's will and can be pursued independently.
Present Physical Survival: Exact Watlington manor boundaries and modern parcel correlation not mapped; Geoffrey's Islington parcels also not mapped.
Current Registered Owner: Unknown.
Known Severance Evidence: No Colts severance event shown. The missing Watlington event remains the legal fate of Richard's manor.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: No. This remains a separate competing Kervile manor stream and a distinct collateral Islington estate.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: SOURCE CONTROL CORRECTED — DIRECT MANOR TO RICHARD / DIRECT ISLINGTON ESTATE TO GEOFFREY; RICHARD D.S.P. PRIMARY BASIS UNKNOWN.
Next Decisive Evidence: 1435-36 Watlington court -> Richard death/heirship/deeds/fines -> original Register Surflete -> Geoffrey named Islington parcels -> locate older Islington rolls -> BL 1496-1506 accounts -> Thomas return to Watlington.
Pre-Kervile de Watlyngton provenance — 1340 Thorpland / 1361 Kervyle association: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Pre-Kervile de Watlyngton provenance — 1340 Thorpland / 1361 Kervyle association
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: No Colts ownership evidence. Direct royal records place Adam son of John de Watlyngton in a Thorpland land transaction in 1340 and John de Watlyngton together with Edmund Kervyle in a 1361 west-Norfolk mortmain conveyance.
Historic Description / Extent: 1340: two acres in Thorplond. 1361: four messuages, 180 acres land, six acres meadow and fourteen acres pasture across Clenchwarton, Tilney, Wiggenhall, South Lynn, Middleton and West Lynn.
Later Continuity Evidence: These records are earlier than Robert Kervyle's 1434 will and therefore provide concrete de Watlyngton/Kervyle network leads for the will's prior-provenance clause. Exact identity with John son of William son of Thomas de Wathlington is not established.
Present Physical Survival: Not mapped to the Kervile manor or any modern Watlington parcel.
Current Registered Owner: Unknown.
Known Severance Evidence: No severance event shown.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: No. This is provenance research only and must not be used to import Thorpland or the 1361 property package into Watlington-Colts.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: PRE-KERVILE PROVENANCE / NETWORK CONTROL — NOT A PARCEL CLAIM.
Next Decisive Evidence: Identify Adam/John de Watlyngton family; locate William and Thomas; search deeds/fines for Watlington manor; recover original royal-roll images; test whether any lineage reaches the John named in Robert's 1434 will.
Shuldham-line Manor of Watlington — Bartholomew coheirs / Hawdekyn-Curteys / Shuldham: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Shuldham-line Manor of Watlington — Bartholomew coheirs / Hawdekyn-Curteys / Shuldham
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: No Colts ownership proof. John Bartholomew held this manor; his elder daughter Margaret carried the manor into Glemsford/Hawdekyn, while daughter Agnes married William de Shuldham and forms the Shuldham coheir branch ultimately associated with Thomas Shuldham.
Historic Description / Extent: Manor/title/advowson rights; exact land schedule not stated. Separate 1373/1386 Shuldham land parcel dealt with Thomas son Nicholas Trussbut.
Later Continuity Evidence: Pass 73 refines the succession: Thomas Shuldham's later claim is genealogically inside the Bartholomew coheir family through Agnes, not an unrelated acquisition. Dashwood's specific 'would succeed' wording remains inference as to the operative transition after Curteys.
Present Physical Survival: Not mapped.
Current Registered Owner: Unknown.
Known Severance Evidence: No Colts severance event shown.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: No. Stronger family/title-network contact with Trussbut is now proved, but no Watlington manor parcel crossed to Trussbut in the evidence found.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: COMPETING MANOR WITH DIRECT COHEIR-FAMILY/TRUSSBUT CONTACT — MERGER NOT PROVED.
Next Decisive Evidence: Primary coheir/title instruments -> Curteys livery -> Thomas succession -> 1373/1386 deed bounds -> 1435-36 court identity.
1373/1386 Bartholomew-Shuldham coheir branch -> Trussbut land crossover: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: 1373/1386 Bartholomew-Shuldham coheir branch -> Trussbut land crossover
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: William de Shuldham and wife Agnes, a daughter of John Bartholomew in the Watlington-manor coheir pedigree, directly dealt with Thomas son of Nicholas Trussbut over land in Shuldham.
Historic Description / Extent: One parcel of land in Shuldham/Shouldham; exact bounds/acreage/tenure unrecovered.
Later Continuity Evidence: 1373 security/protection deed and 1386 widow's release cited from Stow Bardolph deeds. Pass 73 establishes Agnes's place inside the Watlington title family.
Present Physical Survival: Not mapped.
Current Registered Owner: Unknown.
Known Severance Evidence: No Watlington severance event shown.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: Potentially important parcel-level crossover, but it cannot be treated as Colts land or manor land until the original deed and later parcel chain are recovered.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: DIRECT TITLE-FAMILY/TRUSSBUT PROPERTY CROSSOVER — NO WATLINGTON PARCEL IDENTITY YET.
Next Decisive Evidence: Modern HARE/NRO refs -> full deed bounds/tenure -> later Trussbut/Colt/Shouldham schedules -> map if identifiable.
1393-94 Fyncham-Trusbut marriage -> 1403 Lawrence Trussebute Watlington fees: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: 1393-94 Fyncham-Trusbut marriage -> 1403 Lawrence Trussebute Watlington fees
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: Direct Trusbut Watlington fee tenure is proved in 1403; a secondary pedigree cites Alicia Fyncham's marriage settlement to Laurence Trusbutt of Shouldham in 1393-94. Same 1403 schedule shows separate John de Fyncham interests in Foston/Shouldham Thorpe and Fincham/West Dereham.
Historic Description / Extent: Lawrence: Watlington quarter-fee plus full fee across Watlington/Tottenhill/Setchey/Shouldham Thorpe/Langham. John Fyncham: separate Foston/Shouldham Thorpe quarter-fee and another broader fee.
Later Continuity Evidence: Chronology and marriage make a close family/property network; acquisition path remains unknown.
Present Physical Survival: Not mapped to modern parcels.
Current Registered Owner: Unknown.
Known Severance Evidence: No later Colts severance event shown here.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: Potentially important direct antecedent of the Trusbut Watlington title/fee stream; cannot establish manor identity from knight's-fee evidence alone.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: VERY HIGH PRIORITY MEDIEVAL TRUSBUT TENURE NETWORK — MARRIAGE SETTLEMENT MISSING.
Next Decisive Evidence: Original 17 Ric II settlement -> 1403 fee extents -> 1427 fee schedule -> 1451 Trusbut testament -> 1597 Colts/Trusbuttes identity bridge.
Burnham Deepdale component of Thomas Shuldham grouped estate — 1467 to Fyncham by 1474/1496: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Burnham Deepdale component of Thomas Shuldham grouped estate — 1467 to Fyncham by 1474/1496
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: No direct Colts parcel. Thomas Shuldham's 1467 title context grouped Watlington, Shouldham and Deepdale for widow Margaret's life. A 1474 annuity charter and later Fyncham title evidence indicate Deepdale separated from that group.
Historic Description / Extent: Manor of Depdale/Deepdale alias Holkhammes; annual rent 8 marks 6s.8d.; later Fyncham manor in Depdale and Brancaster.
Later Continuity Evidence: [Inference] Same-year 1474 annuity and reported Fyncham purchase strongly indicate restructuring of Margaret's life interest as Deepdale transferred into the Fyncham estate. Official 1496 IPM confirms Fyncham possession by the end of the century.
Present Physical Survival: Deepdale, not a present Watlington parcel.
Current Registered Owner: By 1496 Fyncham title/possession is officially catalogued.
Known Severance Evidence: Likely 1474 Deepdale severance from the Shuldham three-manor grouping; exact instrument unproved.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: Indirectly useful: demonstrates that grouped manors in Thomas Shuldham's estate could be legally separated, so Watlington must be traced independently after 1467 rather than assuming Shouldham/Deepdale shared its later descent.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: STRONG HISTORIC SEVERANCE MODEL — DEEPDALE, NOT COLTS; OPERATIVE PURCHASE DEED MISSING.
Next Decisive Evidence: 1474 purchase/annuity originals -> Thomas 1467 will -> Margaret later records -> Watlington-specific post-1467 title -> Shouldham-specific post-1467 title.
1403 Lawrence -> 1427 Thomas Trusbut recurring Watlington one-fee block: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: 1403 Lawrence -> 1427 Thomas Trusbut recurring Watlington one-fee block
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: Direct primary-derived fee records now show a highly similar one-knight-fee block under Lawrence Trussebute in 1403 and Thomas Trusbut in 1427.
Historic Description / Extent: 1403: Watlington/Tottenhill/Setchey/Shouldham Thorpe/Langham one fee + separate Watlington quarter-fee. 1427: Watlington/Tottenhill/Garbodesthorp/Setchey/?Longham one fee.
Later Continuity Evidence: Three exact localities recur; Shouldham Thorpe/Garbodesthorp is strongly supported as an alias-family match by later official NRO records; fifth locality remains unresolved. Lawrence died by Easter 1418, narrowing holder transition to before May 1427.
Present Physical Survival: No modern parcel map yet; HARE 2493 is exact archive target for Lawrence's 330+ physical acres.
Current Registered Owner: Unknown.
Known Severance Evidence: No severance event: this is continuity evidence.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: Yes as a medieval target stream: this is one of the strongest direct antecedent chains for the Trusbut side, but still not enough by itself to identify every later Colts parcel/title.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: VERY HIGH MEDIEVAL CONTINUITY — PRIORITISE PHYSICAL PARCEL EXTRACTION FROM HARE 2493.
Next Decisive Evidence: HARE 2493 parcel extraction -> HARE 2683-4 1386 additions -> Lawrence/Thomas succession -> 1427 forward fee chain -> 1451 Trusbut inheritance -> Colt estate schedules.
1413-14 Laurence ?Trussebut Runcton Holme lease: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: 1413-14 Laurence ?Trussebut Runcton Holme lease
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: Institutional archive inventory directly describes a surviving 60-year Bromehill Priory lease to Laurence ?Trussebut of all lands/tenements/rents/tithes in Runcton Holme.
Historic Description / Extent: Catalogue attempts total c.4a 3r 20p; rent 20s p.a.; component measurements partly illegible. Exact parcel names/bounds not extracted.
Later Continuity Evidence: Runcton Holme later recurs among 1597 Colt estate lands. Separate Christ's College MR4,6 court rolls/rental provide an archive route for the locality.
Present Physical Survival: Not mapped; original lease required.
Current Registered Owner: Leasehold interest for 60 years from 1413-14, if catalogue reading is correct.
Known Severance Evidence: Lease would expire in the fifteenth century absent renewal/other title; it is evidence of occupation/estate geography, not permanent title.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: Yes as an early physical-land lead because Runcton Holme persists in later Trusbut/Colt geography, but no modern/current parcel claim follows.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: HIGH-VALUE EARLY LAND TARGET — ORIGINAL INDENTURE NEEDED FOR PARCEL MATCHING.
Next Decisive Evidence: MR7 item53(1) original -> MR4,6 rolls/rental -> HARE2493 -> HARE2402 1597 -> enclosure/Hare maps.
Jane/Joan Trusbut heiress -> Thomas Colt -> Joan IPM -> John Colt heir/ward: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Jane/Joan Trusbut heiress -> Thomas Colt -> Joan IPM -> John Colt heir/ward
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: Heraldic pedigree proves Norfolk Trusbut heiress marriage and John as heir. Pass 78 adds substantive property from Joan's exact IPM trail: Lysons cites 15 Edw IV no.34 for Clayhall manor descending to John.
Historic Description / Extent: Known succession contexts: Cavendish/Colt's Hall and Clayhall, Barking. Exact Norfolk inherited estate remains unlisted.
Later Continuity Evidence: The IPM is now proven useful at estate level rather than merely a bibliographic reference. Its missing Norfolk return/content is the most valuable next target.
Present Physical Survival: Not mapped for Watlington until Norfolk property appears.
Current Registered Owner: John succeeds Clayhall and Cavendish according to antiquarian histories.
Known Severance Evidence: Inheritance rather than severance; no Watlington event yet.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: Extremely relevant as legal inheritance-package control. Still insufficient to equate medieval Trusbut fee with later Watlington-Colts.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: VERY HIGH IPM-BASED HEIRESS BRIDGE — SECOND MANOR IDENTIFIED, TARGET NORFOLK RETURN.
Next Decisive Evidence: C140/IPM full text -> Norfolk holdings -> John livery -> father/Runcton proof -> compare to 1403/1427 and 1597.
John Colt 1 Hen VII wardship / reported 5 Nov 1485 livery: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: John Colt 1 Hen VII wardship / reported 5 Nov 1485 livery
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: Copinger reports John as Parr's ward in 1 Hen VII; BP2003-derived material reports livery 5 Nov 1485. TNA officially states records of livery of lands and sale of wardship after IPMs can often be found in Patent Rolls C66.
Historic Description / Extent: Property released remains unknown. Search hooks now include Cavendish, Clayhall and Suffolks plus Norfolk Trusbut localities.
Later Continuity Evidence: Pass 79 corrects retrieval strategy: prioritize Calendar of Patent Rolls Henry VII 1485-1494 / C66, while retaining Fine Rolls and escheator material as supplemental routes.
Present Physical Survival: Not mapped.
Current Registered Owner: Unknown until livery instrument recovered.
Known Severance Evidence: Potential termination of wardship/custody, not severance.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: Critical to identify Joan-to-John inherited estate. No Norfolk land can be inferred from the secondary date alone.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: PRIMARY C66 LIVERY RECORD MISSING — SEARCH METHOD NOW OFFICIALLY GROUNDED.
Next Decisive Evidence: CPR Henry VII vol.1 / C66 around 5 Nov 1485 -> John Colt/Colte + Clayhall/Cavendish/Suffolks -> Norfolk escheator returns.
Joan Parr IPM 15 Edw IV no.34 — Clayhall property recovered: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Joan Parr IPM 15 Edw IV no.34 — Clayhall property recovered
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: Independent antiquarian source explicitly ties Joan's 15 Edw IV no.34 escheat/IPM to the Manor of Clayhall in Barking and succession to John Colte.
Historic Description / Extent: Manor of Clayhall, Essex; held under Barking Abbey with quit-rent 15s.3d. and distinctive services. Cavendish is separately tied to Joan/John succession by Copinger.
Later Continuity Evidence: This proves the missing Joan-IPM trail contains substantive estate information beyond the Cavendish narrative and gives a second known manor to use as a search hook.
Present Physical Survival: Clayhall, Barking, Essex; not relevant to present Watlington parcel mapping.
Current Registered Owner: John Colte succeeds after Joan according to Lysons.
Known Severance Evidence: No Watlington severance event. This is inheritance-package reconstruction.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: Indirect but strategically important: if the same IPM also lists Norfolk Trusbut estates, it can close the heiress-to-Colt identity chain.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: FIRST ACTUAL PROPERTY EXTRACT FROM JOAN-IPM TRAIL — NORFOLK RETURN STILL UNRECOVERED.
Next Decisive Evidence: Find modern C140 reference -> complete IPM transcript -> Norfolk county return -> livery 1485 -> compare to Trusbut/Colt estate.
Joan IPM 15 Edw IV no.34 — three known estate contexts: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Joan IPM 15 Edw IV no.34 — three known estate contexts
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: Three independent antiquarian works tie the same exact medieval IPM reference to Joan/John succession at Cavendish, Clayhall and Suffolks.
Historic Description / Extent: Cavendish/Colt's Hall (Suffolk); Clayhall (Barking, Essex); Suffolks (Enfield, Middlesex). No Norfolk parcel yet recovered.
Later Continuity Evidence: This strongly demonstrates a multi-estate inheritance package and provides multiple hooks for recovering the original C140/E149 return.
Present Physical Survival: Non-Norfolk known estates; no Watlington mapping yet.
Current Registered Owner: John Colt succeeds in all three carrier narratives, though Robinson's genealogy/date is otherwise unreliable.
Known Severance Evidence: Inheritance-package reconstruction, not a Watlington severance event.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: Very high strategic relevance: the complete IPM could directly reveal whether the Trusbut heiress transmitted the Watlington/Runcton/Shouldham estate complex into Colt.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: THREE KNOWN ESTATE CONTEXTS — ORIGINAL IPM IS NOW THE DECISIVE IDENTITY DOCUMENT.
Next Decisive Evidence: Calendarium IV scan -> C140 modern reference -> E149 counterpart -> complete county/property extraction -> John Colt C66 livery.
Joan fifteenth-year inquisition — NORFOLK estate presence visually verified in Rogers print: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Joan fifteenth-year inquisition — NORFOLK estate presence visually verified in Rogers print
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: The original scanned Rogers page itself states an extensive possession list in Berkshire, Middlesex, Norfolk, Essex and Suffolk; the printed Richard-II p72 footnote anomaly is also visibly confirmed.
Historic Description / Extent: Exact Norfolk manors/parcels still not extracted. Candidate places: Watlington, Shingham, Holme/Runcton Holme, Shouldham, Tottenhill, Setchey, Fincham, Wiggenhall, Thorpland.
Later Continuity Evidence: Pass 81 raises confidence that Norfolk was genuinely asserted by Rogers while simultaneously lowering confidence in his cited source reference. The actual C140/E149/Calendarium land list is therefore even more important.
Present Physical Survival: Not mapped until exact Norfolk names are recovered.
Current Registered Owner: Unknown.
Known Severance Evidence: Inheritance package, not severance.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: Extremely high relevance. The county presence is no longer OCR-dependent.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: NORFOLK ASSERTION DIRECTLY VERIFIED IN PRINT — EXACT MEDIEVAL RETURN STILL MISSING.
Next Decisive Evidence: Calendarium no.34 -> C140/E149 -> Norfolk place list -> John Colt C66 livery -> compare against medieval fee and 1597 Colt estate.
John Trusbut father/seat — source ladder and conflict: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: John Trusbut father/seat — source ladder and conflict
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: Direct visitation says only Trusbut of Norfolk; Gough says John of Shingham; Powys-Lybbe says John of Holme; BP2003-derived material says John of Runcton Holme.
Historic Description / Extent: No exact inherited parcel presently attributable to any of the three specific seat forms.
Later Continuity Evidence: The evidence now suggests possible later source expansion from generic 'Holme' to 'Runcton Holme', but this is only a source-history hypothesis. Shingham remains an independent early antiquarian tradition.
Present Physical Survival: Not mapped.
Current Registered Owner: Unknown.
Known Severance Evidence: No severance event.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: Very high relevance because the correct seat may identify the Norfolk property transferred to Colt.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: FOUR-TIER SOURCE CONFLICT — DO NOT COLLAPSE OR NORMALISE THE SEAT.
Next Decisive Evidence: Original IPM/will/deeds/courts + Harley MS1177 -> compare Shingham, unspecified Holme and Runcton Holme independently.
Joan IPM no.34 / C 140/52 piece-level target; source-specific /13 citation — five known estate contexts: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Joan IPM no.34 / C 140/52 piece-level target; source-specific /13 citation — five known estate contexts
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: VCH gives C 140/52/13 for Joan's Clayhall succession passage; Copinger independently adds Boxstead Manor and Peyton/'Peytones' Hall to I.P.M. 15 Edw IV no.34. Existing evidence already supplied Cavendish/Colt's Hall, Clayhall and Suffolks.
Historic Description / Extent: Known property contexts now: Cavendish/Colt's Hall (Suffolk); Clayhall (Barking, Essex); Suffolks (Enfield, Middlesex); Boxstead Manor (Suffolk); Peyton/'Peytones' Hall, Ramsholt (Suffolk). Rogers also expressly reports Norfolk among the counties, but no Norfolk manor name is yet extracted.
Later Continuity Evidence: The estate packet can now be reconstructed through five named contexts; Bodleian MS. Ch. Norfolk 339 [corrected Pass 83] adds a surviving 1478 inquisition commission/writ target.
Present Physical Survival: Non-Watlington known contexts; modern physical survival is not used as evidence for Colts recovery.
Current Registered Owner: Unknown / not relevant to the unresolved Norfolk parcel until original return is read.
Known Severance Evidence: No Watlington severance event established; this is medieval inheritance/title-identity reconstruction.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] Not directly a 1930 parcel claim. Its recovery value is that the full C140 return may identify the Norfolk lands inherited through Joan into Colt, which can then be compared with the later Colt estate and 1597 conveyance.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: VERY HIGH TITLE-IDENTITY TARGET — MODERN C140 REFERENCE NARROWED; FIVE ESTATE CONTEXTS; EXACT NORFOLK RETURN OUTSTANDING.
Next Decisive Evidence: Retrieve/read C 140/52 complete constituent returns/items (including source-cited /13, status unresolved) -> E149 counterpart -> Norfolk place list -> inspect Bodleian MS Ch Norfolk 339 [corrected Pass 83] -> John Colt C66 livery -> crosswalk to Trusbut fee geography and 1597 Colt estate.
Joan IPM process — corrected Bodleian Ch.339 / John Tymperley Norfolk-Suffolk escheator: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Joan IPM process — corrected Bodleian Ch.339 / John Tymperley Norfolk-Suffolk escheator
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: The 1878 Bodleian calendar and current catalogue correct the Joan writ to Ch./MS. Ch. Norfolk 339 and name John Tymperley junior, escheator of Norfolk and Suffolk, assigned in 15 Edw IV to take the inquisition.
Historic Description / Extent: No Norfolk parcel names in the writ. Existing known IPM property contexts remain Cavendish/Colt's Hall, Clayhall, Suffolks, Boxstead and Peyton/Peytones.
Later Continuity Evidence: VCH Roydon independently cites P.R.O. C 140/52, no.34; Pass-82 C 140/52/13 is no longer treated as final whole-packet mapping. Modern CIPM methodology confirms a joint Norfolk/Suffolk escheator writ can lead to two county inquisitions with uneven survival.
Present Physical Survival: Not mapped: exact Norfolk return/estate list still required.
Current Registered Owner: Unknown.
Known Severance Evidence: No severance event; this is medieval inheritance/IPM process reconstruction.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: Very high strategic relevance because the new escheator name and corrected shelfmark provide evidence-led routes to the Norfolk/Suffolk returns without repeating genealogy.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: VERY HIGH IPM-PROCESS ADVANCE — NORFOLK/SUFFOLK ESCHEATOR ASSIGNMENT PROVED; LAND LIST UNRESOLVED.
Next Decisive Evidence: MS. Ch. Norfolk 339 -> C 140/52 old no.34 packet -> E149 by John Tymperley/Joan Parre -> separate Norfolk/Suffolk return extraction -> compare Norfolk names to Trusbut fee geography.
Joan Norfolk-return recovery ladder — E152/E153/E136/E357 added: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Joan Norfolk-return recovery ladder — E152/E153/E136/E357 added
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: No new Colts parcel is asserted. The gain is evidential: modern IPM editorial practice and TNA guidance identify additional Exchequer/escheator series capable of preserving or reconstructing material missing from Chancery.
Historic Description / Extent: Exact Norfolk land list still unknown. Pass 84 does not add Watlington, Shouldham, Shingham, Holme, Runcton Holme or any other candidate place to Joan's holdings.
Later Continuity Evidence: Concrete control: C 139/99/38 generated separate Suffolk and Norfolk returns under one joint writ; the reference table shows an E149 duplicate for Suffolk but none for Norfolk.
Present Physical Survival: Not mapped until Joan's actual Norfolk return/property names are recovered.
Current Registered Owner: Unknown.
Known Severance Evidence: No severance event; this is medieval source-survival and inheritance reconstruction.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] High strategic value: if C140 material is incomplete or E149 is negative, E152/E153 and E136/E357 may preserve or reconstruct evidence needed to identify the Norfolk estate transmitted into the Colt line.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: VERY HIGH SOURCE-RECOVERY UPGRADE — NEGATIVE E149 ALONE IS NOT A NORFOLK-RETURN DISPROOF.
Next Decisive Evidence: Request all C 140/52 Joan constituents; search E149 and E152 independently; examine E153 residual files; use E136/E357 escheator account material for John Tymperley junior / 15 Edw IV Norfolk-Suffolk.
Joan IPM exact-item recovery — leading C 140/52/34 mapping + E501/15–18 + early Chancery inventories: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Joan IPM exact-item recovery — leading C 140/52/34 mapping + E501/15–18 + early Chancery inventories
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: Published CIPM methodology explicitly maps old Calendarium document numbers into modern file/document references; old 16 Hen VI no.35 becomes C139/86/35. Joan is independently cited as old 15 Edw IV no.34 in piece C140/52. [Inference] C140/52/34 is therefore the leading exact modern item. The same editorial source gives E501/15–18 as the first finding-aid route for E149/E152/E153; archive scholarship adds Trinity MSS61–62 and Rawlinson B.231.
Historic Description / Extent: No new parcel names. Candidate Norfolk places remain unproved: Watlington, Shouldham, Shingham, Holme/Runcton Holme, Tottenhill, Setchey, Fincham, Wiggenhall, Thorpland.
Later Continuity Evidence: This changes the retrieval precision, not the inheritance conclusion: recover the Joan county return first, then compare exact medieval place spellings with the Trusbut fee geography and later Colt estate.
Present Physical Survival: Not mapped.
Current Registered Owner: Unknown until the actual county return/title chain is recovered.
Known Severance Evidence: No severance event; medieval source-identity reconstruction only.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] Very high strategic value because the probable exact C140 item can now be tested directly, while E501 and the early inventories supply independent fallback indexes if Discovery or Exchequer searches fail.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: LEADING EXACT C140 ITEM NARROWED — DIRECT TNA CONFIRMATION STILL REQUIRED; /13 CONFLICT NOT DELETED.
Next Decisive Evidence: Request/check C140/52/34 plus all Joan constituents -> identify what /13 is -> inspect E501/15–18 -> search Trinity MSS61–62 and Rawlinson B.231 -> then E149/E152/E153/E136/E357 -> extract Norfolk land list.
Medieval Trusbut -> Colt bridge — closure at primary-derived level: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Medieval Trusbut -> Colt bridge — closure at primary-derived level
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: 1427 IPM: Thomas Trusbut holds Watlington/Tottenhill/Garbodesthorp/Setchey/?Longham fee. Parkin: Thomas son/heir of Laurence; 1451 will gives Tittleshall and Watlington/Tottenhill/Setchey-linked estate to John; Shouldham/Marham to William; William dies s.p.; Jane daughter/heir of John succeeds and marries Thomas Colt; John Colt later has livery of Tittleshall in 1 Hen VII.
Historic Description / Extent: Strong overlapping medieval geography: Watlington, Tottenhill, Setchey, Shouldham/Garbodesthorp context, Thorpland, Fincham, Holme.
Later Continuity Evidence: Historic England independently states Colt's manor/Trussbutt's was held by the Trussbutts and passed by marriage to Thomas Colt. 1597 HARE 2402 later expressly styles the target Manor of Watlington Coltes or Watlington Trusbuttes.
Present Physical Survival: Not mapped to current cadastral parcels by this medieval chain alone.
Current Registered Owner: Jane/Joan -> Thomas Colt -> John Colt succession materially established at primary-derived level.
Known Severance Evidence: No medieval severance event; this is inheritance/title transmission.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] The 1427 fee and 1451 will estate are not proved parcel-identical, but the transmission into Colt is no longer an unsupported hypothesis.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: CLOSED FOR WORKING TITLE DESCENT — ORIGINAL ALEYN FOL.163 IS THE REMAINING MANUSCRIPT-LEVEL CHECK, NOT A MISSING GENERATIONAL LINK.
Next Decisive Evidence: Order Aleyn fol.163; then compare 1451 premises to HARE 2402/2403 and later parcel records. Do not reopen Joan's IPM as the required inheritance bridge.
Joan no.34 Norfolk-return theory — closed as non-critical / probably false lead: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: Joan no.34 Norfolk-return theory — closed as non-critical / probably false lead
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: Rogers genuinely prints Norfolk, but his citation is defective. Rye's Norfolk master index does not expose old 15 Edw IV no.34 or Parr/Colt/Trusbut, while it does contain other genuine 15 Edw IV Norfolk entries.
Historic Description / Extent: No Norfolk parcel from Joan no.34 is accepted.
Later Continuity Evidence: C140/52 /13-versus-/34 remains a source-reference problem only.
Present Physical Survival: Not mapped.
Current Registered Owner: Not needed to prove Jane/Joan's Trusbut-to-Colt inheritance because the 1451/Parkin/HE route supplies it independently.
Known Severance Evidence: No severance event.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] Best current conclusion: do not presume a lost Norfolk return. If C140 later proves Norfolk content, add it; otherwise the title chain remains closed without it.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.

HARE 2826 — Shouldham field book 1440-1 / diagrammatic field-strip maps: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: HARE 2826 — Shouldham field book 1440-1 / diagrammatic field-strip maps
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: Scholarly source identifies HARE 2826 fols.16v,34v as 1440-41 Shouldham plans; NRO institutional report confirms physical field book survives and was conserved.
Historic Description / Extent: Two diagrammatic plans show small groups of field strips; the draft written survey covers substantially more land than the mapped folios.
Later Continuity Evidence: Chronologically contemporary with the Thomas Trusbut era and just before the 1451 testamentary estate; no direct Colts/Trusbut label has yet been extracted from the manuscript.
Present Physical Survival: Original volume physically preserved at Norfolk Record Office; images not yet obtained.
Current Registered Owner: Not applicable / medieval source.
Known Severance Evidence: No severance event; spatial identity/source-control only.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] Potentially very high value if the written survey or mapped strips name Watlington-linked Trusbut tenants/fields or can be located against later Shouldham parcels; currently not a Colts parcel claim.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: MEDIEVAL SPATIAL CONTROL — SOURCE PHYSICALLY CONFIRMED, MANOR/TENANT IDENTITY UNREAD.
Next Decisive Evidence: Obtain COMPLETE HARE 2826 digital copy including fols.16v/34v and surrounding written survey -> transcribe lord/tenant/field/abuttal names -> compare 1427/1451 Trusbut geography -> then overlay against 1633 HARE 2495 and later maps.
NRO Duties on Land Values local valuation-book route — P/DLV/1 Shouldham target: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: NRO Duties on Land Values local valuation-book route — P/DLV/1 Shouldham target
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: No Colts-specific entry read. The evidence is archival: NRO currently uses Duties on Land Values field/valuation books for former-owner/property research, and a separate Norfolk house history demonstrates exact NRO shelfmark form P/DLV/1/52.
Historic Description / Extent: Target should be a c.1910 valuation/Domesday book or schedule for the income-tax parish covering Shouldham, recording hereditament/assessment numbers and property data.
Later Continuity Evidence: Should cross-reference the same Edwardian properties captured by the national IR 127/8 plans and IR 58 field books.
Present Physical Survival: Archive series survives in Norfolk examples; exact Shouldham volume/item not yet identified.
Current Registered Owner: Unknown.
Known Severance Evidence: No severance event is established by the route itself.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] High value because a local valuation book may identify owner/occupier/map reference even before the exact national field book is recovered; any property conclusion requires the actual Shouldham entry.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: CRITICAL LOCAL 1910 OWNERSHIP ROUTE — SERIES FORM PROVED, SHOULDHAM ITEM UNLOCATED.
Next Decisive Evidence: Locate P/DLV/1 item for Shouldham or its income-tax parish -> extract assessment no., owner, occupier, description, map ref, area/value -> match to LVII.7/XLV.16 -> IR 58 -> later HARE/1929-1930 title chain.
1767–1832 Land Tax bridge — Clackclose C/Scd 2 + national IR 23 / redemption follow-through: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: 1767–1832 Land Tax bridge — Clackclose C/Scd 2 + national IR 23 / redemption follow-through
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: No Colts-specific assessment entry has yet been read. The new evidence is the survival/retrieval structure: local Clackclose assessments begin in 1767 under NRO C/Scd 2, while TNA IR 23 supplies the near-nationally complete 1798 proprietor/main-tenant return. PASS 108: direct digital access is now verified through Ancestry's IR 23 image collection, with Forebears specifically indexing Land Tax Redemption under Shouldham.
Historic Description / Extent: Shouldham and Shouldham Thorpe annual assessment entries; exact property descriptions may be limited. IR 22/IR 24 may add property/tenant detail if tax was redeemed.
Later Continuity Evidence: Directly bridges the 1794–98 enclosure period to the 1811 Hare estate mapping and can then be compared with the 1843 tithe. The 1798 owner/occupier test can now be run directly online before archive-item numbering is solved.
Present Physical Survival: Primary records survive; exact Shouldham entries not yet extracted.
Current Registered Owner: Unknown until the assessment is read.
Known Severance Evidence: The series can reveal proprietor/occupier changes but does not itself prove legal conveyance dates or manor-title ownership.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] If the same Hare proprietor/estate and an identifiable principal tenant persist across 1794–1811 on land that can be matched to Colts Farm, physical-estate continuity strengthens. A different proprietor/occupier pattern may expose an earlier severance or distinct holding.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: CRITICAL PRE-1811 OWNERSHIP/OCCUPATION CROSSWALK — SERIES LOCATED + DIRECT DIGITAL ACCESS VERIFIED; SHOULDHAM ROWS UNREAD.
Next Decisive Evidence: NRO C/Scd 2 Clackclose: extract Shouldham/Thorpe key years 1794–1812 -> TNA IR 23 1798 cross-check -> any IR 22/IR 24 redemption -> HARE 6832 1811 map -> 1843 tithe. PASS 108: search Ancestry UK Land Tax Redemption 1798 directly for Shouldham / Shouldham Thorpe; record proprietor, occupier, assessment and any redemption detail, then cross-check HARE 6832 and 1843 tithe.
2018 Shouldham TPO 2/TPO/00575 — Lynn Road / Westgate Street open-land control: Candidate Parcel / Land Class: 2018 Shouldham TPO 2/TPO/00575 — Lynn Road / Westgate Street open-land control
Positive Colts / Trussbutts Evidence: None. The official record does not name Watlington-Colts/Trussbutts and is retained only as a modern locality/map control.
Historic Description / Extent: Open land north of Lynn Road, south of 10 and east of Westgate Street; two Lime trees covered by the TPO.
Later Continuity Evidence: No historic Colts continuity proved. The council record supplies a modern fixed locality to compare against enclosure, Hare-estate, tithe and valuation mapping.
Present Physical Survival: Modern open-land locality identified by official council committee record; linked map/report route exists.
Current Registered Owner: Not identified in the public committee record.
Known Severance Evidence: None established by this TPO record.
Could It Have Passed in 1930?: [Inference] Only relevant to a 1930 parcel question if an independent historic-map crosswalk later shows that this exact land was a surviving Colts component and remained in the relevant title chain.
Theft / Fraud Evidence: None found.
Current Audit Status: CONTEXT-ONLY MODERN PARCEL CONTROL — NO COLTS OVERLAP OR OWNERSHIP PROVED.
Next Decisive Evidence: Use the official TPO map/report only as a modern geometry layer -> compare with 1794-98 enclosure, HARE 6832, 1843 tithe, 1910 valuation and modern HMLR. Do not promote to a Colts parcel without that crosswalk.
12 Feb 1930 Humphreys -> Edleston conveyance: Record / Parcel: 12 Feb 1930 Humphreys -> Edleston conveyance
Actual record status: RECOVERED — PRIMARY
Evidence recovered: User-supplied deed images analysed in Pass 42/rights project
What it conclusively proves: Humphreys, as beneficial owner for £100, conveyed Watlington; Watlington Gawsells with West Dereham; Watlington Colts otherwise Trusbutts; and Tottenhill, 'as far as ... subsisting', with rights, royalties, members and appurtenances, in fee simple.
What it does NOT prove: Does not prove that every historic Colts field remained in Humphreys's title or was still a member/appurtenance in 1930.
Remaining exact missing item: None for the deed itself. The genuine predecessor gap is the 16 Dec 1929 deed and the pre-1930 physical parcel chain.

16 Dec 1929 Green + Public Trustee -> Humphreys: Record / Parcel: 16 Dec 1929 Green + Public Trustee -> Humphreys
Actual record status: RECITAL RECOVERED; SEPARATE ORIGINAL NOT SURFACED IN CURRENT PROJECT SEARCH
Evidence recovered: Express recital inside the 12 Feb 1930 primary deed; Pass 97 independent contemporary controls establish J.H.T. Green as a Weatherall & Green property professional; Pass 99 adds a 31 Jul 1897 Morning Post indexed will report naming the exact J.H.T. Green and an Edward Humphreys as separate legatees in the same will. The Edward identity is unresolved. Pass 100 indexed conversation+Library searches using exact parties/date and PDF/image-only filters again did not surface the separate original. Pass 101 title-only Library searching for the Batch-5 project name, the 16 Dec 1929 date and exact parties still did not surface the underlying image/ZIP/conveyance artifact; only cumulative/derived references surfaced. Pass 102 exact public-web searching using the date plus Watlington Gawsells / Trusbutts / Tottenhill / Public Trustee did not surface the separate instrument.
What it conclusively proves: The 1930 recital proves Green + Public Trustee granted to Humphreys in fee simple the hereditaments later conveyed to Edleston, together with other hereditaments. Pass 97 independently proves Green's professional identity/capacity in property work, not his 1929 ownership.
What it does NOT prove: Does not expose the 1929 schedule, parcel descriptions, reservations, root of title, consideration or party capacities. The 1897 newspaper clue does not prove that its Edward Humphreys is the solicitor in the 1913 Spooner/Coote probate network, Mary Rhoda's husband/relative, or connected to Watlington. The fresh negative search does not establish that the user never uploaded the instrument in an earlier unsurfaced image/ZIP batch. Pass 101's negative Library result remains a retrieval limitation, not evidence that the original was never uploaded. This repeated public-index negative is not evidence that the deed is lost or was never supplied privately.
Remaining exact missing item: First re-check prior user image/ZIP/conveyance batches if accessible. If still absent, recover the separate 16 Dec 1929 conveyance. In parallel, identify the 1897 testatrix and the Edward Humphreys legatee before using that network clue for capacity/root-of-title analysis. Do not repeat title-only/index searches unless a new file surface or archive source becomes available.

HARE 6832 — 1811 Map of Estates of Sir Thomas Hare: Record / Parcel: HARE 6832 — 1811 Map of Estates of Sir Thomas Hare
Actual record status: NOT RECOVERED
Evidence recovered: Historic England cites it and uses it to state early-19C Colt's Farm included the whole scheduled area Pass 107 adds a quantified predecessor landscape control: the Cooke/Arthur Young enclosure table records Shouldham + Garboiesthorpe at 5,570 acres in 1794. Pass 108 verifies direct digital access to the 1798 Shouldham Land Tax Redemption/IR 23 owner-occupier return, providing a new pre-1811 control immediately before HARE 6832.
What it conclusively proves: Provides published/official evidence of Colt's Farm continuity into early 19C. This helps frame the scale of the landscape restructuring before the 1811 estate map. If the actual 1798 return identifies the same estate proprietor/tenant seen around Colt's Farm, it will materially constrain the 1794->1811 continuity question.
What it does NOT prove: No parcel colours, numbers, field boundaries or ownership legend have been read directly. It does not identify any Hare or Colts allotment and cannot substitute for HARE 6832.
Remaining exact missing item: Actual Shouldham/Colt's Farm section of HARE 6832. Also extract the actual 1798 Shouldham IR 23 owner/occupier rows before interpreting the 1811 estate map.

1843 Shouldham tithe map + apportionment: Record / Parcel: 1843 Shouldham tithe map + apportionment
Actual record status: PARCEL NAMES KNOWN; NORFOLK SERIES FIXED; DIRECT SHOULDHAM PARISH-SEARCH ROUTE VERIFIED; ACTUAL PLOT/OWNER/OCCUPIER STILL NOT READ
Evidence recovered: Historic England: Homestall east/southeast of Colt's Hall; Batchelors = Further Homestall. Pass 99 targeted public/TNA searches again failed to surface the exact Shouldham IR 30/IR 29 reference, plot numbers, owner or occupier. Pass 100 independently reverified the live Norfolk County Council ncc_tithe cache architecture/parameters used by WCT-DIG-0450. Pass 101 exact-name searching again independently reached Historic England's 1843 'Homestall' / 'Further Homestall' statement but did not expose the plot number, owner, occupier or exact IR reference. Pass 102 adds a near-date control: the 1835 West Norfolk poll-book index independently records 'Lemmon Charles, Shouldham'. Pass 104 corrects the Lemmon identity control: Discover Downham says Mary Winearls was Charles's first wife (m. Shouldham 1821) and Hannah Dean his second wife, while the Shouldham baptism transcription continues to show farmer Charles + Mary in later 1850s entries. Pass 105 official TNA catalogue controls prove Norfolk apportionments are IR 29/23/[item] and corresponding maps IR 30/23/[same item]. Pass 106 verifies that the current tithe interface permits County/Parish-only searching without a personal name and exposes transcript, original apportionment, map and the TNA piece/sub-piece reference from the result. Pass 107 adds the 1794 combined-enclosure scale of 5,570 acres as a predecessor control. Pass 108 adds a directly searchable 1798 Shouldham owner/occupier control from digitised IR 23, giving an independent predecessor checkpoint before the 1843 tithe.
What it conclusively proves: Creates real 1633 -> 1811 -> 1843 parcel genealogy. It strengthens the dated pre-1843 presence of Charles Lemmon at Shouldham, but not his title to a particular parcel. The early Charles + Mary farmer sequence is now better contextualised, but the post-1840 family identity is not secure enough to substitute for the tithe apportionment. The archive-reference uncertainty is now narrowed from the entire TNA tithe system to Shouldham's final Norfolk item number. The final Shouldham IR item is no longer a prerequisite to accessing the tithe; it can be learned from the returned parish record/map. The quantified enclosure context can be used to sanity-check later parish/farm acreages but supplies no tithe proprietor or plot identity. A 1798 proprietor/main-tenant match cannot replace the tithe but can test whether the later Hare/Lemmon model is already visible before 1811.
What it does NOT prove: No exact tithe plot number, owner, occupier, acreage or use has yet been extracted. The actual target tile image still has not been read, so no plot number or apportionment identity is claimed. Pass 101 did not obtain or read the target tithe tile itself, so the plot number remains unverified. The 1835 poll index does not expose the qualifying property and therefore cannot identify the tithe owner/occupier or prove Colts Hall ownership. No wife chronology, directory label or poll-book entry proves who owned or occupied Homestall/Further Homestall in the 1843 tithe. The later Mary/Hannah conflict prevents treating every Lemmon entry as one continuous household without further primary evidence. It still does not supply Shouldham's final item number or any Colt's Hall/Homestall plot, owner, occupier, acreage or use. Pass 106 still has not opened the actual Shouldham result, so owner/occupier/plot data remain unproved. No part of the 5,570-acre combined enclosure figure is assigned to Colt's Hall, Homestall or Further Homestall without the award/map/apportionment.
Remaining exact missing item: Search the tithe collection directly by County=Norfolk / Parish=Shouldham with personal names blank; inspect transcript/original/map for Colt's Hall, Homestall and Further Homestall; record the returned IR 29/23/[item] and IR 30/23/[same item], exact plot numbers, owner, occupier, acreage and cultivation.

Current HMLR freehold/title coverage of Colts core parcels: Record / Parcel: Current HMLR freehold/title coverage of Colts core parcels
Actual record status: NOT RECOVERED
Evidence recovered: Official INSPIRE/SIM/title-search methods identified. WCT-DIG-0467 correctly records the 20 Nov 2025 Colts Hall, 21 The Green conservation-area lime-tree entry; WCT-DIG-0468 adds the Borough Council address form '21 Colts Hall' under Eastgate Street (IDox 1480). Pass 101 adds a secondary administrative cross-check: public property indexes independently list the exact postal property as Council Tax Band F and as a house with EPC rating G / potential E / score 15. Pass 102 exact phrase/address searching still did not expose the Borough reference for the separate 20 Nov 2025 Colts Hall T1/T2 lime-pollarding entry. Pass 103 establishes the Borough record class/search-channel control: an official Shouldham example is 24/00135/TREECA, while current Planning Committee delegated reports expressly exclude Works to Trees in a Conservation Area from ordinary delegated lists. Pass 104 adds the exact 6 Nov 2025 Shouldham control 25/00257/TREECA (Orchard House, 3 Lynn Road) plus surrounding late-November Borough TREECA examples, confirming the numbering system is active in the correct period.
What it conclusively proves: The modern property is searchable through two official address formulations plus a dated Borough planning event. PASS 98 confirms that 2/TPO/00673 / Grey Poplar is King George Playing Field, not Colts Hall; the exact Colts Hall planning reference is still to be retrieved. The exact modern postal property is independently present in multiple administrative/property datasets. The 2025 Colts Hall entry is therefore properly targeted as a direct tree-notification/TREECA planning-register record rather than an ordinary delegated-planning-list item. The exact Colts Hall number is now tightly targeted to the correct 2025 TREECA data stream, but it remains omitted from the surfaced parish result.
What it does NOT prove: No current legal proprietor, HMLR title number, registration boundary or unregistered gap is proved. The planning index does not itself prove title or identify the proprietor. Council-tax/EPC records do not identify the legal proprietor or freehold boundary. Pass 103 does not recover or infer the exact 2025 TREECA number, applicant, owner or plan. Neighbouring TREECA numbers cannot safely be used to deduce the Colts Hall number.
Remaining exact missing item: Full Borough Council file for the 20 Nov 2025 Colts Hall conservation-area lime-tree entry, retrieved by address/date: actual application reference, applicant, plan and any ownership-related declaration actually present; then HMLR register/title plan/index-map search against both 'Colts Hall, 21 The Green, Shouldham, PE33 0BY' and '21 Colts Hall, Eastgate Street, Shouldham'. The secondary administrative address control does not replace HMLR or the full Borough planning file. Exact Borough application reference/full file remains required before any applicant/ownership-certificate inference. Search/request the direct TREECA/tree-notification register by Colts Hall + 21 The Green + 20 Nov 2025 + exact lime-pollarding description; do not repeat ordinary Planning Committee delegated-list searches.

Notes: Pass 104 data-integrity correction. Discover Downham explicitly says Mary Winearls was Charles Lemmon's first wife (m. Shouldham 1821) and Hannah Dean his second wife, with Charles + Hannah at Shouldham by 1840. Early baptism entries with Mary fit the first stage; later Mary entries create an unresolved chronology conflict.

TheGenealogist tithe County Parish alone no surname: Variant / Search Form: TheGenealogist tithe County Parish alone no surname
Notes: NEW operational route. Current provider guidance explicitly permits County/Parish-only tithe search with no forename/surname, then transcript/original/map access. Added WCT-DIG-0477 / ADA-218.
Pass Added: 106
TheGenealogist tithe piece sub-piece same as TNA Discovery reference: Variant / Search Form: TheGenealogist tithe piece sub-piece same as TNA Discovery reference
Notes: Current provider guidance says the map page exposes piece and sub-piece selectors matching the TNA Discovery reference. This can recover Shouldham's final IR item from the result rather than before it.
Pass Added: 106

Notes: NO VERIFIED CROSSWALK. WeRelate's separate 'Extracts from manor court rolls and parish registers, 1297-1782' is FHL 890188 item 6, but no evidence currently identifies that source with the West Dereham 1540-1793 listing.

Date: 2026-08-30
Rows after pass: 36
New rows this pass: 8
Research focus: Medieval Trussebut economic/legal records + Colt succession + early Tudor Shouldham context
Notes: Added 8 records. Strongest new direct-access items: 1413–14 Runcton Holm indenture description; 1561 Colt visitation naming Jane as Thursbotte heiress and later Leonard Smythe of Shuldham; 1391 Lynn rental; 1389 Close Roll oath; 1471 Colt/Trusbut memorial record; 1543 Smyth will. Identity links are explicitly cautioned where not independently proved.
Pass 3 — 2026-08-30: Pass: 3
Date: 2026-08-30
Rows after pass: 44
New rows this pass: 8
Research focus: Shouldham–Gawdy kinship, Hare estate evidence, enclosure landscape, later Colts Hall occupancy
Notes: Added 8 records. Key additions: 1621 REED probate transcript linking the Shouldham and Gawdy kin networks; 1634 Shouldham Warren lease reference; Parkin's 1735 letter describing direct examination of Sir Thomas Hare's evidences and the Shouldham seal; 1795–96 enclosure notices with roads to Watlington and Runston Holme across Hare land; 1883 White directory; 1896 Kelly lordship statement; direct 1912 Kelly scan pairing Sir Thomas Leigh Hare with Walter Lemmon at Colts Hall; Companies House legal address record.

Date: 2026-08-30
Rows after pass: 54
New rows this pass: 10
Research focus: Tudor Gawsell/Gawdy legal estate layer, manorial gamekeeping litigation, enclosure legislation, historic mapping
Notes: Added 10 records. Major additions include 1566 Shouldham Thorpe court activity; 1586 Gawsell of Watlington feoffment; 1587 Royal Letters Patent for the manor of Shuldham with foldage/tolls/stallage and the Tottenhill–Setchey–Wallington–Thorpland–Runcton Holme cluster; 1590 Gawsell-to-Gawdy feoffment; a related 1611 'Trusbutes' indenture; Morris v. Forby (1780); the 1794 Commons enclosure proceedings; Blyth's 1863 full scan; and two NLS 25-inch OS map viewers. Transcription-only items and map-viewer access limitations are explicitly labelled.
Pass 5 — 2026-08-30: Pass: 5
Date: 2026-08-30
Rows after pass: 64
New rows this pass: 10
Research focus: Direct Gawsell probate records; Butts court succession; Shuldham title article; 17th-c. holder network
Notes: Added 10 records. Major gains are full online transcriptions plus FamilySearch images for Thomas Gawsell (1500), Ellen Gawsell (1507) and Richard Gawsell (1538); Notes and Queries court-roll notes explicitly naming 'Gawsells M. in Watlington' and William Butts holding court jure uxoris; 1520s subsidy evidence; the Gawsell→Butts marriage bridge; dedicated Norfolk Archaeology articles on the Gawsell pedigree and Thomas Shuldham's title to a manor of Watlington; a 1651 primary printed Act naming Sir Ralph Hare and Gregory Gawsel in the same Norfolk commission; and Gawsell swan-mark evidence. Catalogue-only hits remain excluded.
Pass 6 — 2026-08-30: Pass: 6
Date: 2026-08-30
Rows after pass: 73
New rows this pass: 9
Research focus: Domesday originals, 1440–41 Shouldham plans, Gawsell/Buttes material evidence, Hare-era landscape and place-name controls
Notes: Added 9 new records and materially enriched WCT-DIG-0064. Major gains: Open Domesday Shouldham Thorpe with actual folio image and Baynard tenure; folio 166 territorial context; PASE estate network; scholarly identification of two Shouldham plans dated 1440–41; E-CIPM Shouldham Priory advowson timeline; official Shouldham Thorpe conservation evidence; 1870–72 Hare lordship; 1845 Garbois-Thorpe continuity; and a scanned 1664 Clackclose warrant/list. A critical correction is now built into the variants sheet: Wallington cum Thorpland is distinct from Watlington and must not be normalised into it without record-specific proof.
Pass 7 — 2026-08-30: Pass: 7
Date: 2026-08-30
Rows after pass: 84
New rows this pass: 11
Research focus: Watlington enclosure; Plestow Hall chronology; Gawsels courts; Hall/park map evidence
Notes: Added 11 records. Strongest gains: the 1748/49 Watlington Inclosure Act title and digitised 1749 enclosure notice (without mislabelling it as a full Act scan); Thomas Plestow at Watlington Hall by 1781; John Davis Plestow as rector/patron 1791–1824; Sir Thomas Berners Plestow's 1818 knighthood and 1819 death; Charles Berners Plestow at the Hall before 1830; White 1845 explicitly naming him lord of Gawsels with yearly courts leet and baron; official Hall/park map evidence; and White 1883 naming George Coote as lord of Gawsels while the Hall was separately owned. Wallington cum Thorpland remains strictly distinct from Watlington.
Pass 8 — 2026-08-30: Pass: 8
Date: 2026-08-30
Rows after pass: 96
New rows this pass: 12
Research focus: Full Dashwood extraction; medieval title/deed layer; Gawsell place controls; Birch/Coote/Tottenhill chronology; Watlington OS mapping
Notes: Added 12 new records and materially upgraded WCT-DIG-0061/0062, while correcting WCT-DIG-0014. Major gains: the actual digitised Dashwood texts now yield a Henry VI field-book title entry for Thomas Shuldham and coparceners to a Manor of Watlington, a 33 Henry VI Gawsell–Iwayn marriage settlement, and William Iwayn's 1459 will. These records strongly reinforce that a Gawsell 'of Watlington' can coexist with separate Wallington/Thorpland property. Added the 1505 AALT Common Pleas executor entries for Thomas Gawecell of Watlyngton, an 1812 Plestow-at-Watlington notice that separately names Wallington, separate Tottenhill lordship markers (Mrs Plestow → George Coote → Coote trustees), a 1899 official Birch-at-Watlington-Hall occurrence, and three Watlington OS LVII.1 editions. Commercial/derivative claims about 1869/1929 Colts transfers remain uncorroborated and were not promoted as evidence.
Pass 9 — 2026-08-30: Pass: 9
Date: 2026-08-30
Rows after pass: 105
New rows this pass: 9
Research focus: Gawsell deed enrolments and county office; Sir Robert Gawsell; Shouldham charity; 1664/1563 heraldic pedigree layer
Notes: Added 9 records. Strongest gains are three separate 1649–51 enrolled bargain-and-sale entries naming Gregory Gawsell of Watlington; a corroborated 1649 Sheriff of Norfolk marker; direct public-domain baronetage text naming Sir Robert Gawsell of Watlington and daughter Susan; Edward Shouldham's 1646 two-acre Watlington charitable close; the 1664 'Schuldham of Watlington' pedigree extracted from the digitised visitation; a cautiously labelled secondary early Shuldham–Watlington descent framework; and a full-view 1563 Visitation source indexed for 35 GAWSELL occurrences. No 'of Watlington' reference is treated as proof of Watlington-Colts/Gawsels title without separate evidence.
Pass 10 — 2026-08-30: Pass: 10
Date: 2026-08-30
Rows after pass: 109
New rows this pass: 4
Research focus: Feet of Fines place-name/manor controls; direct Rye subsidy; Hare estate-map digitisation
Notes: Added 4 non-duplicate records and materially upgraded WCT-DIG-0011, WCT-DIG-0016 and WCT-DIG-0059. Major gains: a 1380 Howard-associated Watlington land settlement; a 1498 final concord that explicitly lists Walyngton and Watlyngton together (strong Wallington ≠ Watlington control); a 1506 final concord for an unnamed manor of Watlyngton with free fold and St Peter advowson; and a direct 1851 Hare estate-map PDF extract. The 1427 IPM now explicitly records the parallel Trusbut Watlington fee, Robert Kervyle quarter-fee and separate Wallington/Thorpland fee groups. Rye's direct digitised subsidy transcription now replaces reliance on the later 'Hatlington' OCR.
Pass 11 — 2026-08-30: Pass: 11
Date: 2026-08-30
Rows after pass: 113
New rows this pass: 4
Research focus: Tudor Gawsell fine; Spelman landed-family testimony; 1595 legal-trust lead; 1966 Watlington Hall official continuity
Notes: Added 4 non-duplicate records. Strongest new legal item is NRO HARE 3080/7 as directly transcribed in the Godbould PDF: a 20 Apr 1586 fine with Thomas Gawsell and Richard Godbould as plaintiffs over a messuage, gardens and lands including Garboysthorpe. Added the digitised House of Gournay quotation of Spelman's early antiquarian description 'Gawsell, at Watlington' as a long-established landed-family marker; a cautiously labelled secondary quotation of a 1595 Betts settlement naming Thomas Gawswell of Watlington as trustee; and the official 11 Mar 1966 London Gazette naming Major Stephen John Pope of Watlington Hall. No source is treated as proof of Watlington-Colts title unless it actually establishes that identity.
Pass 12 — 2026-08-30: Pass: 12
Date: 2026-08-30
Rows after pass: 120
New rows this pass: 7
Research focus: Original E179 parish images; Gawsell monuments; Butts visitation/probate; eighteenth-century place control
Notes: Added 7 non-duplicate records. Major gains: official TNA E179 pages exposing original assessment images for Watlington and Shouldham Thorpe in the 1336/38 fifteenth-and-tenth and 1546 Free and Voluntary Contribution; Historic England's official description of the 1600 Thomas Cawsel/Gawsel monument with arms at Watlington; the directly scanned 1619 Kent Visitation pedigree of Leonard Butts; a scanned PCC calendar entry for William Butts of Thorpe alias Shouldham Thorpe alias Garboysthorpe (1626, 36 Hele); a direct photograph of Ursula Gawsell's 1645 memorial naming her father Thomas Gawsell of Watlington; and the 1768 Clackclose poll-book transcription separately listing Wallington & Thorpland and Watlington. The 1628 Leonard Buttes→Sir John Hare deed naming Gawsells was found only as an archive catalogue description and was deliberately excluded pending a substantive digital copy/transcription.
Pass 13 — 2026-08-30: Pass: 13
Date: 2026-08-30
Rows after pass: 129
New rows this pass: 9
Research focus: Pre-1540 Butts deed/court-roll chronology; Russell manor court; Gregory Gawsell public network; additional swan-mark evidence
Notes: Added 9 non-duplicate records. The strongest gain is a sequence of published extracts from deeds and court rolls extending the But/Butts presence around Garbesthorp and Foston from 24 Henry VI through 7 Henry VIII: deed occurrence, deed witness, Foston amercement, a three-rood conveyance, fealty for a messuage and 12 acres, and a Garbesthorp deed party. Added the later 1612 first court for the separately named manor of Russell in Garbesthorp; a directly digitised 1630 state-grant compilation naming Gregory Gawsell in the Providence Island Company; and swan-mark no.105 for Edmond Gawsell, second son of Thomas of Watlington. The 1628 Leonard Buttes→Sir John Hare deed remains excluded because only an archive catalogue description is currently available, and the 1596 commercial/derivative Colts-Trusbuttes narrative has not been promoted.
Pass 14 — 2026-08-30: Pass: 14
Date: 2026-08-30
Rows after pass: 138
New rows this pass: 9
Research focus: Trusbut royal/public records and Paston letter; Watlington customary works; Rich/Gawdy/Butts succession context
Notes: Added 9 non-duplicate records. Major gains: a 1400 Patent Roll entry naming Thomas Trussebut as owner of the Lynn ship la Trinite; Stow Bardolph account-roll comparisons (1426–29) valuing customary works from Watlington; separate 1434, 1442 and 1443 royal commissions involving Thomas Trusbut/Trussebutte, including explicit 'esquire' status and the Marham-to-Wiggenhall water-management district; a 4 Oct 1450 Paston letter naming Thomas Trusbut with Thomas Kervile and Shuldham servants; a 1609 deed quotation styling Sir Robert Riche of Wallington; independent 1612/13 Godbould-will material naming William Butts of Garbristhorpe with the separate manor of Russell; and swan-mark no.88 passing from Francis Gawdy of Wallington to the Earl of Warwick. Catalogue-only 1611 Rich→Battes and 1628 Buttes→Hare deeds remain deliberately excluded pending substantive digital copies/transcriptions.
Pass 15 — 2026-08-30: Pass: 15
Date: 2026-08-30
Rows after pass: 144
New rows this pass: 6
Research focus: Colt/Trusbut succession: Warwick fine, royal offices, Joan→John inheritance, John Colt will, Elizabethan Colt's Hall; brass chronology corrected
Notes: Added 6 non-duplicate records and materially upgraded WCT-DIG-0034. Major gains: CP 25/1/294/74 no.41 placing Thomas Colt and Henry Sotehill in Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick's 1450/1466 estate settlement; Edward IV's 10 Sep 1464 grant making Thomas Colt keeper of the Chancery rolls in Ireland; 1467 successor-office entries that independently support the revised 1467 death chronology; Copinger's digitised Cavendish manor history explicitly tracing Joan [Trusbut] Colt Parr to son/heir John Colt and citing Joan's IPM (15 Edw IV no.34); a substantive digital transcription of John Colt's 1521 will naming the manors of Netherhall and Greyes; and the Folger 2 Aug 1578 record of Elizabeth I dining at George Colt's Colt Hall. The existing Roydon-brass row is upgraded with modern Essex Archaeology scholarship showing the traditional 1471 date should be read as 1467. None of these records is used to validate the derivative 1581 lease/1596 Watlington-Colts sale claim.

Research focus: Laurence Trussebut royal/administrative record seam; Bardolf and Scales network; 1587/1596 Colt→Shouldham date conflict
Notes: Added 6 non-duplicate substantive digital records. Major gains: a 28 Oct 1389 Close Roll oath directly linking Lawrence Trusbut with William Bardolf's Norfolk commission; a 1396 Fine Roll showing Laurence as mainpernor for custody of a Hastings manor; a September 1397 commission of the under-stewardship of the Eight and a Half Hundreds; a 9 Sep 1402 Norfolk commission of array; a 16 Jul 1403 Fine Roll placing Laurence in direct custody of Scales estate interests and the minor heir; and a 6 Feb 1404 Patent Roll licence for a Dalham manor feoffment. WCT-DIG-0015 and WCT-DIG-0025 were also upgraded to flag a source conflict: Historic England gives 1587 for George Colt → Thomas Shouldham, while Manorial Services/Feudal Titles gives 1596. The underlying 1581 lease/1596 conveyance remains unverified from a substantive digital deed.

The 1581 lease / 1596 conveyance wording remains unverified from the underlying deed.

Notes: Added 7 non-duplicate substantive digital records. Major gains come from Susan Maddock's peer-reviewed archival reassessment: a 1386 feoffment adding to the Trussebut estates at Shouldham (NRO HARE 2683–4); Laurence Trussebut's Lynn justice/bishop's-steward/borough-retainer framework; Margery Lok's 1410 testament identifying her as a Trussebut from Shouldham and naming Laurence in the executor/family network; a quantitative statement that Laurence held more than 330 acres in Shouldham, Thorpe and Fincham in addition to the Trussebut manor at Shouldham (NRO HARE 2493); Laurence's precisely dated 12 Dec 1412 Guildhall appearance; and Robert Trusbut's 17 May 1440 testament (NRO NCC Doke 121).

Notes: Added 5 non-duplicate substantive digital records and materially upgraded WCT-DIG-0144. Major gains: the 1893 scanned transcription of George Colt's Cavendish monument reading 1570; Suckling's 1586 sheriff list naming George Colt of Cavendish; Copinger's citation of a 1595 Exchequer deposition involving George Colt and Netherhall; and, most importantly, Essex Archives D/P 214/25/11 (25 Jan 1601/2), which explicitly identifies George Colt of Cavendish as heir of Sir George Colt through his father Henry Colt and names the younger George's own son/heir Henry. Added a digitised DNB legal biography for Sir Francis Gawdy. The Folger 1578 row is now cautioned because its March 1579 will/age identification conflicts with the published Cavendish monument date; no forced identification has been made.

Notes: Added 7 non-duplicate modern succession-context records and materially clarified WCT-DIG-0025. The title-chain treatment is Coote → Robert Holmes Edleston; Mary Humphreys remains the vendor/provenance bridge named by the 1929 secondary account, not a separately inserted lord without direct proof. Major gains: Durham D/HH 8/2/86 ('Details of R.H. Edleston, his manors, advowsons etc.' c.1930); the 1918-52 E.R. Hanby Holmes steward correspondence over Edleston properties and purchases of manors/manorial rights; 1953-55 papers administering R.H. Edleston's estate through Alice Edleston; Sarah Alice Cumming Edleston's 24 Jan 1956 death plus the 1956 instrument explicitly naming E.R. Hanby Holmes and B.S.L.S. Raine as her executors; Raine's official 1971 Gazette death notice; Eric Hanby Holmes's official 1981 Gazette notice naming Richard John Hanby Holmes among his personal representatives; and independent 2016 evidence of Richard/Andrew Hanby Holmes handling other manorial titles. The exact Watlington-specific 1957 probate, 1966 de bonis non, 1969 assent, 1977 vesting assent and 2017 transfer were searched for but not promoted because substantive public digital copies were not located in this pass.

Strongest gains: D/HH 8/2/39, the 6 Jan 1925 parchment conveyance by which R.H. and Sarah Alice Edleston acquired five Norfolk manors for £75; D/HH 8/2/40-42, steward appointment and printed court notices; D/HH 8/2/51-83, a 1924 colour-wash Lynford estate plan plus 35 papers of 1924-28 correspondence specifically about purchase of manorial rights; D/Ed 10/3/187-212, North Runcton/Hardwick/Setchley administration papers, admission and copy court roll; D/HH 2/7/2041, North Runcton estate book naming R.H. Edleston as trustee; Wiggenhall property papers; and exact photograph/negative references for R.H./Alice Edleston and Norfolk locations. D/Ed 16/49-259 (1887-1952 diaries) and D/Ed 16/260-267 (1920-45 expenditure) are now flagged as critical 1929 retrieval targets. The public Durham/The Story pages verify these physical records but do not expose downloadable scans for the targeted items, so metadata is explicitly distinguished from actual digital copies.

Notes: Added 8 non-duplicate records and expanded Durham Retrieval Targets. Strongest gains: D/HH 8/2/18-20, a 25 Feb 1950 £20 purchase of the Manor of Ellington by R.H. Edleston with E.R. Hanby Holmes's bill of costs and deed schedule; D/HH 8/2/43-50, operational Norfolk manor-court/common-rights working papers; D/HH 8/3/397, 68 papers administering the late R.H. Edleston's fee farm rents through 3 Mar 1966; and D/HH 8/3/50, a 1957 conveyance jointly by Hanby Holmes and Raine. Added an actual directly accessible period photograph of R.H. Edleston, plus the 373-folio 1920-45 expenditure series and Alice Edleston's nine notebooks as priority 1929 targets. Official North Runcton Parish Council minutes from Feb 2017 were also added as direct modern evidence of Hanby Holmes family manorial activity in Norfolk, preserving the source's exact wording 'John Hanby Holmes'.

Research focus: Actual digital asset discovery: Edleston archive PDF, institutional scans, digitised books, Buckden images, Norfolk archive block
Notes: Added 8 non-duplicate records focused on content that can actually be opened online and created a new 'Actual Digital Assets' sheet. Confirmed real public files/images include the directly accessible R.H. Edleston period photograph; Monumental Brass Society Bulletin 122 with 'The Edleston Archive at Durham'; a public-domain 1902 Society of Antiquaries Proceedings PDF; 1914 and 1919 Antiquaries membership-list PDFs; digitised Edleston books on Google Books/Google Play; and historical Buckden image galleries tied to Edleston's restoration. Critically, the downloadable archive survey and Durham catalogue identify D/Ed 15/7/268-309 as a Norfolk-with-Suffolk block within Edleston's monumental-inscription research. The Durham Retrieval Targets sheet was expanded with exact negative-to-print mappings for D/Ed 18/9/1378-1382 so the archive can be asked for the matching digital images rather than a vague photo search.

Strongest gains: D/Ed 10/4/35-673, a 677-folio Buckden estate-administration correspondence corpus; D/Ed 10/4/704-705, the surviving four-folio Hail Weston manor-court roll draft for 14 Dec 1928 and 3 Dec 1929; Cambridgeshire Archives KHAC1/1300, a separate structured Edleston manorial-paper deposit for Buckden Brittens, Hail Weston and Eynesbury; an actual Buckden Parish Council PDF stating Alice Edleston gifted The Towers in 1952; a 1953 Britain from Above aerial image; and actual online photographs of an 1899 Napoleon platinotype carrying Robert Holmes Edleston's handwritten provenance statement.

Notes: Added 10 non-duplicate modern records and expanded Actual Digital Assets/Retrieval Targets. Major visual gain: D/Ed 14/5/1-127 contains a single named Teesdale Record Society group photograph showing Bertram Surtees Raine, E.R. Hanby Holmes, R.H. Edleston and Miss Edleston together. Added D/X 332/582, Raine's one-paper obituary of Sarah Alice Cumming Edleston prepared for the Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1956, and D/X 332/584, Alice's own historical notebook with photographs. Added direct evidence of E.R. Hanby Holmes as a formal manorial steward c.1918-19 and as a party in a 1933 compensation agreement for extinguished manorial incidents, plus 23 printed Bowes Court Leet/Court Baron notices from the Edleston collection. A separate National Army Museum corpus was identified: Holmes papers (2010-02-1), 32 maps (2010-02-2), photographs (2010-02-8), and a surviving jerkin (2005-04-59). SANT's public digitised Proceedings Dropbox route through 1956 was added as an actual digital asset, but the Sarah obituary has not yet been pinned to a specific PDF/page.

Notes: Added 10 non-duplicate records and corrected the Sarah obituary row to flag the two parallel Durham catalogue entries D/X 332/414 and D/X 332/582. New gains include probate-derived estate values (£58,241 15s 5d for Robert Holmes Edleston, reportedly left to Sarah Alice; £131,675 for Sarah Alice), D/Ed 14/2/1-132 with 33 Society of Antiquaries outing photographs and correspondence to both Edlestons, item-level The Story pages for Eric Hanby Holmes's 1907 equipment estimate and his own two-paper 1908 military exercise report, and a substantial National Army Museum material group belonging to Richard John Hanby Holmes from his 1952-54 National Service. Added focused Teesdale Record Society biographical publication routes for Sarah (vol.8, 2000) and Robert (vol.9, 2001), a cautious Richard→Olivia family bridge, and Richard's official Companies House identity record.

Notes: Added 13 non-duplicate records. Most important modern-chain gain: D/HH 8/3/382-397 preserves Edleston-origin fee-farm records across 1954-66, 1965 and 1969-1976, creating a surviving administrative paper trail through the 1966 and 1969 Watlington transition years and nearly to the 1977 vesting point. Added D/HH 8/3/375-378, a complete March-April 1929 Edleston purchase file containing agreement, conveyance, completion statement, E.R. Hanby Holmes costs and title requisitions, plus the closely preceding 1928 Bolam purchase file and D/Ed 10/3/213-228 manorial-rights correspondence to May 1929. Added Eric's 1925 estate book, professional diary/attendance files (1926-64), steward letter books (1930-40) and the September 1966 appointment of his Bowes successor. Actual downloadable digital assets added: 1915 Law Directory and official Gazette PDFs from 1939, 1941 and 1968. A Trees for Life memorial gives 'John Hanby Holmes' exactly the same 28 Apr 1934-20 Nov 2016 dates independently attributed to Richard John Hanby Holmes, strongly reconciling the wording of the 2017 North Runcton manor minute.

Research focus: Sarah's own title/manorial activity; hidden-manor notes target; late Robert–Holmes correspondence; actual Bowes Museum Edleston estate images
Notes: Added 13 non-duplicate records. The key interpretive gain is that Sarah Alice was independently handling property and manorial-rights matters long before and after Robert's death: D/HH 8/3/70-102 is a complete 1923 acquisition/title file in her own name; D/HH 8/3/108-119 adds further 1937-38 acquisitions and deed schedules; D/HH 8/3/120-121 captures post-Robert title requisitions and a January 1954 conveyance; and D/Ed 10/3/275 is a letter directly to Alice about extinguishing manorial incidents in Wakefield. Added D/Ed 10/3/288, twelve generic 'miscellaneous rough notes concerning manors', as a Critical hidden-Watlington retrieval target because the published D/Ed 10 catalogue has no Watlington keyword hit. Added Burgh Hall purchase correspondence, Glatton manorial-incident correspondence, Bowes profit schedules through 1955, R.H. Edleston jury summonses and direct R.H.–E.R. Hanby Holmes Bowes Manor correspondence through September 1952. Actual digital content added from The Bowes Museum: multiple photographs of objects Alice donated while clearing Robert's estate, including CST.140 carriage boots, plus Alice's quoted contemporary estate-clearance statement.

Research focus: 1403 same-record Watlington/Wallington control; fifteenth-century Trusbut mercantile records; exact 1869 Watlington Hall sale-particulars target
Notes: Added 4 non-duplicate records. Strongest direct manor gain: E-CIPM 18-793 (Shouldham, 4 Jul 1403) records Laurence Trussebute holding both a knight's fee across Watlington/Tottenhill/Setchey/Shouldham Thorpe/Langham and a separate quarter-fee in Watlington, while the same inquisition separately records Thorpland and Wallington under different tenants. This materially strengthens both Laurence's Watlington tenure chronology and the Wallington ≠ Watlington control. Added an actual scanned Stow Survey notice for John Trusbut, mercer (1437) and a digitised scholarly Borromei-ledger analysis placing John Trusbot [Trusbut] with Robert Baron at £108.13 turnover in 1437–39; both are explicitly labelled identity-unproved London mercantile context. The key late-estate gain is Cambridge ArchiveSearch's exact surviving 'Watlington Hall Estate' sale-particulars target, forty-eight lots, dated 29 Sep 1869; it may resolve the claimed Plestow→Coote sale but does not itself identify the buyer in the indexed description. No new independent public digital 1929 Watlington purchase instrument was located.

Research focus: Reid-family Watlington Hall tenancy/occupancy controls; 1660 Hare–Gansel public network; renewed succession-gap searches
Notes: Added 5 non-duplicate records. UCL's Legacies of British Slavery database now supplies the crucial structural distinction that George Reid senior rented Watlington Hall, while its George Reid junior profile gives the 1805 father–son Hall styling; Westminster School Archives independently identifies the 1808-born George Reid as son of George Reid of Watlington Hall in the 1821 admission context. A scan-backed 1831 peerage entry further corroborates the family designation but is posthumous and is not treated as 1831 occupancy or title evidence. These records create a controlled Reid Hall-occupancy layer without inserting the family into the lordship chain. Separately, an Internet Archive full-text copy of Restituta reproduces a 25 Jun 1660 Norfolk dedication list placing Sir Ralph Hare and 'Greg. Gansel of Watlington, Esq.' together; this strengthens the public-network chronology but is not a conveyance. Renewed searches still did not locate the Hare→Plestow transfer deed, a pre-1883 Coote purchase/title instrument, or the original 1929 Watlington→Edleston conveyance.

Research focus: Plestow manorial memorial and RIBA Hall drawings; 1836/1849 direct Plestow evidence; 1869 sale-date control
Notes: Added 6 non-duplicate records. Strongest title-context gain: Farrer's digitised Church Heraldry of Norfolk transcribes the Watlington memorial styling Sir Thomas Berners Plestow 'many years Lord of the manor of Watlington and Tottenhill', with death date 17 Feb 1819; this is retained as direct manorial-status evidence but 'manor of Watlington' is not automatically equated with Colts/Trussbutts, and the 17 Feb memorial date conflicts with the 18 Feb Norfolk Annals chronology already in the ledger. Added three RIBA Collections drawings for Watlington Hall commissioned for Charles Berners Plestow: proposed front elevation (RIBA31589), executed front elevation (RIBA31591), and the ground-floor stables plan (RIBA95188, Subject Date 1825). Added a directly viewable Morning Post 1 Jun 1849 death clipping stating Charles Berners Plestow died on 30 May at his seat, Watlington Hall, plus the Discover Downham PDF transcribing his unanimous election as Downham Union chairman on 24 Aug 1836 and giving the secondary Donthorn Hall-design attribution. A re-check of the exact Cambridge ArchiveSearch 1869 sale-particulars item now surfaces 4 Aug 1869, whereas Pass 30 recorded 29 Sep 1869; both dates are retained pending direct inspection. No purchaser/title transfer is named by the indexed Cambridge description, and no new original Hare→Plestow, 1869→Coote, or 1929→Edleston conveyance was located.

Research focus: 1628 Buttes–Hare Gawsells recovery; 1636 Godbould→Hare deed; 1871 Hare schedule naming Colts Farm
Notes: Added 3 non-duplicate records, one new Actual Digital Asset, and materially upgraded the 1845 White directory row. The strongest early transfer target is NRO Hare 3085 201 x 6, an 11 Apr 1628 sealed deed to lead the uses of a recovery involving Leonard and Johanna Buttes and Sir John Hare over the manors of Shouldham Thorpe/Garboysthorpe, Foston Russels and Gawsells. It is retained as a Very High exact retrieval target because no manuscript scan is public; it is not silently equated with the separate 1632 Colts/Priory-to-Hare statement. The open Godbould PDF adds a directly readable 16 Oct 1636 deed reference (HARE 1965) from John Godbold to John Hare for Thurstons in Fincham and is now logged as ADA-043. The major late-estate control is NRO Hare 5466 222 x 5: its 1871/post-1874 estate schedules explicitly include 'Colts Farm in Shouldham'. This establishes the named farm within Hare estate administration after the claimed 1869 lordship-sale date, but does not prove retention of the lordship and may instead reflect separation of land/farm from title. White's 1845 Shouldham row was upgraded because the same contemporary page names Sir Thomas Hare as lord/major landowner and Charles Lemmon as farmer at Colts Hall.

Research focus: Coote–Spooner–Humphreys identity/probate bridge; George Coote 1871 identity; death and post-Coote family controls
Notes: Added 5 non-duplicate records and 5 Actual Digital Assets. A primary contemporary 22 Feb 1871 official letter fixes George Coote at Smeetham Hall, Sudbury, and Copthall Buildings, London, providing a strong identity control close to the reported 1869 Watlington acquisition without proving that purchase. The Bulmer graveyard index gives Eliza Coote's death as 4 Oct 1877 and George Coote's as 8 Jun 1899 in shared plot 35. The Margaret Spooner PDF independently places her with sister Eliza and brother-in-law George Coote at Smeetham Hall in 1861 and reproduces the 1913 probate-calendar entry granting probate to Rebecca Hurrell Coote and Edward Humphreys, solicitor. Most importantly, Toms Wills independently gives the exact co-grantee wording 'Mary Rhoda Spooner Humphreys widow and Eliza Coote spinster', materially strengthening the Coote/Spooner/Humphreys provenance identity bridge. A 1908 Suffolk Free Press transcription adds post-George continuity at Chilton Lodge for the Misses Coote and George's surviving collection. None of these records proves the 1929 Watlington conveyance or a separate Mary Humphreys lordship. Edward Humphreys's exact relationship to Mary Rhoda is also not established. The original Hare→Plestow, 1869→Coote title instrument and 1929→Edleston conveyance remain unresolved.

Research focus: Mary Rhoda explicitly identified as George Coote's daughter in 1891 census extraction; first Plestow generation memorial chronology
Notes: Added 2 non-duplicate records, 1 Actual Digital Asset, and materially upgraded WCT-DIG-0076. The strongest modern-chain gain is a current indexed 1891 census extraction explicitly placing George Coote, aged 69, as head at Great Cornard and Mary Rhoda Spooner Coote, aged 35, as his daughter, both born Witham. This independently strengthens the father→daughter identity behind the modern Mary Humphreys provenance claim, but does not prove inheritance of the lordship or the 1929 Watlington conveyance. On the earlier transition, Farrer's Watlington memorial transcription gives Thomas Plestow's death as 4 Sep 1795 aged 79 and his wife Elizabeth, daughter of W. Berners, as dying 30 Apr 1781 aged 58. That date exactly reconciles the Norfolk Chronicle notice published 5 May 1781 saying Mrs Plestow died 'Monday last'. The first Plestow generation is therefore more precisely anchored at Watlington, while the underlying Hare→Plestow transfer instrument remains missing. No new 1869 Coote purchase deed or Watlington-specific 1929 Edleston conveyance was located.

Notes: Added 3 non-duplicate records and 2 Actual Digital Assets. The main interpretive gain is that George Coote is now directly documented in the Smeetham Hall history as a Sudbury auctioneer and estate agent as well as farmer, with a substantial household and acreage. Contemporary Suffolk & Essex Free Press transcriptions show him conducting the sale of the Overhall Estate, including copyhold of the manor of Overhall, in early 1869, and conducting further sales at the Maplestead Cock and Pound Farm in September 1869. Those September entries fall within the exact period covered by the conflicting 4 Aug / 29 Sep 1869 dates for the Watlington Hall Estate particulars. This does not disprove the reported Coote purchase; it establishes a crucial evidential control: Coote's appearance in sale material could represent his professional role as auctioneer/agent rather than buyer. The original Watlington sale particulars/conveyance therefore remain essential. No new original Hare→Plestow instrument or 1929 Watlington→Edleston conveyance was located.

Research focus: George Coote official commercial profile; Coote daughter order; pre-1869 Smeetham operational records
Notes: Added 4 non-duplicate records, 3 Actual Digital Assets, and upgraded the 1869 Overhall auction row with independent British Newspaper Archive indexing. The strongest new holder-profile source is Tasmanian Parliamentary Paper LC 1870 No.24, which names George Coote of Smeetham Hall as part of the Tasmanian Main Line Railway Company syndicate, describes him as a director of several large insurance companies, and places him inside a company capitalised at £1,000,000. The Bury Free Press transcription of 26 May 1877 identifies Margaret Coote as George's eldest daughter and records her marriage to Henry Stanton Oliver, improving the ordering of the Coote daughters relevant to Mary Rhoda's identification. Two further free newspaper transcriptions document George's Smeetham Hall farm operation in 1860 and his farm steward in 1868. These records strengthen identity, business capacity and family structure but do not resolve the legal 1869 Watlington purchase. No explicit purchaser wording from the 48-lot Watlington sale particulars and no original 1929 Watlington→Edleston conveyance were located.

Research focus: Edleston manorial-rights extinguishment: £75 purchase correction, statutory rights checklist, Alconbury/Eynesbury corpora
Notes: Added 3 non-duplicate records, 1 Actual Digital Asset, a new 'Rights Extinguishment' sheet, and 6 critical Durham retrieval targets. The key correction is that the 6 Jan 1925 £75 transaction was the purchase price paid by R.H. and Sarah Edleston for five Norfolk manors, not compensation for extinguished incidents. The separate 28 Nov 1933 D/HH 4/1/536 agreement records Eric R. Hanby Holmes and another on the payer/tenant side, with £38 6s.8d. compensation paid to the Earl of Strathmore as Lord. The Law of Property Act 1922 now supplies an exact rights checklist: ordinary compensable incidents included quit/chief rents, fines, reliefs, heriots, dues/steward fees, certain forfeitures and timber rights, while minerals, sporting rights, fairs/markets, chase/warren, piscary and related substantive rights were preserved unless expressly brought into the agreement. Durham's Edleston archive proves systematic extinguishment activity at Alconbury Weston, Chesterton, Glatton with Holme, Eynesbury and Wakefield, but the public catalogue does not itemise the exact incident(s) or compensation per holding. Watlington-specific extinguishment/compensation remains a critical unresolved question and is now explicitly tracked.

Research focus: Watlington/Gawsels manor-specific rights; LPA 1925 conveyance rule; MAF 13/27 compensation route; Bowes surviving-right comparators
Notes: Added 4 non-duplicate records, 2 Actual Digital Assets, 7 Rights Extinguishment rows and 3 retrieval targets, and upgraded the 1845/1883 Gawsels rows. The most important Watlington-specific gain is that White 1845 expressly records yearly courts leet and baron at Gawsels with 'fines arbitrary'; White 1883 still reports yearly courts under George Coote. This gives a historically proven incident class — arbitrary fines — that can now be tested against the 1922 compensation machinery, although there is no evidence yet that the fine survived to 1926/1929. Law of Property Act 1925 s.62(3) adds a crucial deed-reading rule: subject to contrary intention, conveyance of a manor carries courts, reliefs, heriots, fines, chief/quit rents, royalties/franchises and the right to compensation for manorial incidents. The National Archives guide identifies MAF 13 (compensation agreements/certificates) and MAF 27 (compensation determinations) as the government-side record series; no Watlington-specific indexed hit was located, so both are now Critical search targets. Finally, Bowes records prove Edleston bought quantified 'Manorial Rights' in 1928, 1931 and 1934 and continued receiving/managing rights-related income, while Holmes administered sporting and stint rights. These Bowes records are deliberately treated as comparators because Bowes had an exceptional trust/freeholder structure.

Research focus: Clarified legal separation of lordship/land/rights; fishing, minerals, sporting rights and post-2013 enforceability
Notes: Added 4 non-duplicate legal-status records, 4 Actual Digital Assets, 5 Rights Extinguishment rows and a new 'Rights Status Guide' sheet. HM Land Registry confirms that lordship title, manorial land and manorial rights are separate elements: a lordship can survive with no land or rights attached, while rights can be severed and owned separately. Fishing/piscary can exist as a profit à prendre in gross — a separately owned right to take fish from another person's land/water — so a lord with a valid retained piscary need not own the lake bed, but the bare lordship does not automatically confer the fishery. Mines/minerals likewise can remain severed from surface ownership; PG65 confirms former-copyhold mineral and sporting rights could survive until expressly extinguished by compensation agreement. Modern enforceability is a separate issue: manorial rights did not automatically cease in October 2013, but loss of overriding status means an unprotected right can be defeated by later registered acquisitions for value. For Watlington the practical test is therefore parcel-by-parcel: prove the historical right, prove it remained with the relevant title/right-holder, prove it burdens the modern land/water, and check whether it was sold, released, extinguished or lost against a later purchaser.

Notes: Preserved every Pass 40 sheet/record and imported the earlier 28-row Rights Survival Ledger verbatim into a new 'Rights Survival Legacy' sheet. Added a new 'Rights Integrated' sheet combining the earlier right-by-right survival conclusions with the newer Pass 38–40 compensation/HMLR evidence without deleting either stream. Restored the crucial 12 Feb 1930 Mary Rhoda Spooner Humphreys -> Robert Holmes Edleston primary conveyance to the main Digital Records ledger: Watlington Colts otherwise Trusbutts was conveyed so far as subsisting with 'rights royalties members and appurtenances'. This changes the modern-rights question from whether rights were conveyed at all to which specific rights actually survived to 1930. Also restored the official 1943 Hare Estate sporting-right reservation at Shouldham Forest/Sincks as wider-estate evidence, explicitly preserving the caution that appurtenance to Colts is unproved. Existing Pass 38–40 compensation, statutory, registration and Gawsels evidence remains intact.

Notes: Added 9 non-duplicate records and upgraded WCT-DIG-0310 with the full private 1930 conveyance analysis. HARE 4065 (30 Sep 1587) is the recovery covenant; HARE 2402 (17 Mar 1597) is the actual bargain and sale expressly naming the manor of Watlington Coltes or Watlington Trusbuttes; HARE 2403 (20 Oct 1597) is a title exemplification that expressly includes a liberty of a fold in Watlyngton and other places. Restored NRO MS 7245, 7B4 as an exact surviving extract of the 1749 Watlington inclosure award. The 12 Feb 1930 private deed is now recorded in full: Humphreys conveys as beneficial owner for £100 four lordships—Watlington; Watlington Gawsells with West Dereham; Watlington Colts otherwise Trusbutts; and Tottenhill—so far as subsisting, with rights, royalties, members and appurtenances. It recites a 16 Dec 1929 Green/Public Trustee -> Humphreys fee-simple conveyance, now a Critical predecessor-title target. Primary private documents also restore the 1954 selected-manor assent, the two distinct 21 Dec 1977 assents (the first expressly schedules Watlington Colts/Trusbutts; the second vests residual lordships in Richard John Hanby Holmes), and the 22 May 2017 probate grant to Olivia Mary Holmes.

Research focus: Shouldham land/title severance: current leasehold status, Sincks ownership, Stow estate context and mineral-resource evidence
Notes: Added 5 non-duplicate records, 4 digital assets, 3 integrated-rights rows, 2 Rights Status Guide rows, 2 rights-status rows and 3 critical retrieval targets. Forestry England's current plan page confirms Shouldham remains leasehold land while West Bilney is freehold. The visually checked forest plan states that a 372ha 999-year lease from the Hare Estate at Stow Bardolph began in 1943 and that sporting rights are retained by the estate and exercised in the Sincks. Shouldham Parish Council independently states in 2021 that Shouldham Sincks is owned by 'Stow Estates'. Current Stow Bardolph estate sites identify an active Stow Estate Trust at Home Farm, but no legal identity bridge between 'Stow Estates' and Stow Estate Trust is assumed. Norfolk minerals planning again separates the landowner from Forestry management and places Shouldham Warren within a silica-sand search area. BGS confirms Leziate sand actually crops out at Shouldham Warren/Sincks and has been worked at the Warren. The result is a much stronger land/right-severance model: Forestry is leaseholder/manager; a separate estate freehold/reversion exists; sporting rights were reserved to the estate; mineral resources physically exist; but none of those facts yet proves a Colts/Trusbutts appurtenance. The actual 1943 lease and current Land Registry freehold/leasehold titles are now Critical.

Research focus: Pre-1930 land severance: Stow ownership of Shouldham Woods, Hare-Hoff c.1900 exchange, 2010 estate continuity, 1798 enclosure/timber evidence
Notes: Added 5 non-duplicate Digital Records, 2 Actual Digital Assets, a new 'Land Severance Timeline' sheet, 3 integrated-rights rows, 2 rights-status rows and 2 retrieval targets. The Forestry England plan now supplies a direct late-19th-century ownership anchor: Stow Bardolph Estate owned Shouldham Woods before the 1943 Forestry lease; the Sincks were substantially wooded by the 1850s and much of the later forest area by the 1880s. NRO HARE 6956/1-5 consists of five c.1900 OS sheets marked for exchange between Hare and Hoff across Shouldham, Shouldham Thorpe, Marham and Wormegay, with HARE 6374-5 expressly related; this is now the strongest concrete pre-1930 parcel-severance event. A visually verified 2010 King's Lynn & West Norfolk planning report describes Hall Farm at Shouldham Thorpe as integral to the Hare family's Stow Estate, a traditional farming and shooting estate of about 11,000 acres in the mid-19th century and about 4,000 acres in 2010. The 1798 Shouldham/Shouldham-Thorpe enclosure schedule is confirmed as an 11-page online-resource reproduction covering allotments, roads, paths, drain, fences and rules, with a manuscript Thomas Hare 'License to fell timber' mounted between pp.8-9. Contemporary 1795-96 enclosure notices also document road reorganisation. None of this is used to merge the Stow/Hare land stream into the Colts lordship without a parcel/right-specific bridge.

Notes: Added 2 non-duplicate Digital Records, 2 Actual Digital Assets, 2 Rights Status Guide rows, 2 integrated-rights rows, 2 rights-status rows, 2 Land Severance Timeline rows and 2 retrieval targets; also upgraded the existing 1845 Shouldham and 1912 Kelly records. White 1845 now records that Sir Thomas Hare's 2,674 acres included a rabbit warren, names William Brighton as warrener and Charles Lemmon at Colts Hall. The 2009 council conservation statement says Sir John Hare historically held 65% of village fields excluding commons and that much of the parish had remained in the Hare Estate to the document's present day. A particularly useful local control is White 1845 Shouldham Thorpe: Hare was chief owner/lord, yet Fodderston was owned by the Dean and Chapter of Ely and merely leased to Hare with the tithes. This demonstrates why severance of land does NOT automatically mean all rights stayed with the lord: ownership, leasehold control, lordship and income rights could be separated. The 1912 directory was upgraded because Henry Hoff appears as a principal landowner alongside Hare, corroborating that the c.1900 Hare-Hoff exchange produced real ownership consequences while Walter Lemmon remained at Colts Hall. Current rule: every Hare-Hoff sale/exchange and the 1943 Forestry lease must be read for explicit reservations; no blanket assumption that rights were retained or transferred.

A digital local-history source citing Wentworth's 1799 pleading records Joseph Forby appointed in 1779 as gamekeeper of Sir Thomas Hare's manor at Shouldham and a 1780 gun-seizure dispute, materially strengthening historic active game/sporting control in the wider Hare/Shouldham stream. The visually verified 2009 council statement adds nine acres of 'digging ground' feeding a lime kiln and an 1836 'fuel allotment' where the poor could cut peat, demonstrating that extraction/resource interests could belong to different beneficiaries and cannot all be treated as lord's rights. Explore West Norfolk records Shouldham Warren in existence by 1616 and extensive tree planting over the former warren between 1847 and 1890, clarifying the transition from commercial rabbit-warren landscape to woodland estate later leased to Forestry.

Research focus: Fuel-allotment legal origin corrected to 1794; 1943 Forestry Commission primary operational anchor; Wentworth citation controlled
Notes: Added 2 non-duplicate Digital Records and 2 Actual Digital Assets while preserving all Pass 46 material. The Charity Commission now identifies Shouldham's Poors' Land and Fuel Allotment governing document as the 1794 Inclosure Award, P.R. 29.(1) p.520, for the general benefit/fuel of poor persons in the parish. White 1845 independently records a 95-acre Shouldham fuel allotment awarded in 1794 and a separate 60-acre Shouldham Thorpe allotment where the poor cut turf and the herbage yielded £7. This corrects Pass 46's shorthand: 1836 is a later village-context/use date, not the creation date. The Forestry Commission's Twenty-Fourth Annual Report independently lists '140. Shouldham, Norfolk' among Commission units for the year ending 30 Sep 1943, primary-corroborating the later Forest Plan's 1943 start date but not substituting for the actual 999-year lease. Citation control on the Forby/Morris gamekeeper case found that direct Vol. II Wentworth scans currently surfaced are headed Assumpsit Special and OCR does not surface Forby/Overland/Jonathan Morris, so the exact primary pleading remains unresolved rather than being falsely elevated. No prior records or appendices were removed.

Research focus: 1943 leasehold/freehold/title separation resolved as far as public records allow; archive routes expanded
Notes: Added 3 non-duplicate Digital Records and 3 Actual Digital Assets; added 2 critical retrieval routes and a lease-expiry/reversion guide row. Norfolk County Council now independently states Forestry leased Shouldham Warren from the landowner in 1943 for 999 years. Combined with Forestry England's own plan/current page, the public evidence proves a separate landowner-versus-Forestry leasehold structure and an estate-retained sporting-right stream, but not the present registered freeholder or any Watlington-Colts appurtenance. Historic England proves physical Colts/Trussbutts manor land existed (capital messuage, close, tenements, alder carr, Appletons and later Colts Farm), while 1845-1896 evidence places the Warren/large Shouldham landholding in the Hare/Shouldham stream and the Watlington/Gawsels title in a different stream. The 1930 Edleston deed conveys lordships plus then-subsisting rights/appurtenances but the known wording does not identify the 372ha Shouldham woods. [Inference] Unless a missing deed reconnects them, the evidence strongly points to the 1943 woodland/freehold stream being separate from the Watlington-Colts title stream. Exact current proprietor and lease clauses remain HMLR/original-lease questions.

Notes: Added 4 non-duplicate Digital Records, 4 Actual Digital Assets, 6 Search Variants and 3 Land Severance Timeline rows. TNA expressly directs Forestry Commission legal casework undertaken by the Treasury Solicitor to MAF 50, providing a verified national legal-record route for the 1943 lease and related advice/dispute/covenant work. The 1941-43 National Farm Survey (MAF 32 + MAF 73) provides an almost exactly contemporaneous independent route to landowner/occupier status and mapped holding boundaries. Forestry Commission Table 28 for 1959 records the Shouldham unit at 1,290 acres, materially larger than the modern 372ha (~919 acre) Warren/Sincks figure, creating a later boundary/tenure-change question. A further statutory control is now added: the Forestry Act 1945 moved forestry land-holding from the Commissioners to the appropriate Minister while later transitional legislation preserved continuing terms and lease/instrument construction. [Inference] Its precise application to the 1943 Shouldham lease depends on the original lessee wording/title. No reported Shouldham/Hare v Forestry judgment has yet been located in the public indexes searched; absence of a hit is not proof no litigation or unreported casework exists.

Notes: Added 7 non-duplicate Digital Records, 7 Actual Digital Assets, 8 Search Variants, 4 Land Severance Timeline rows, 1 Rights Status Guide row and 1 Rights Integrated control. Crucial correction: the 1,290-acre 1959 Shouldham figure is an administrative forest-unit figure and should not be compared directly with the modern 372ha leasehold block. The 1953 report gives 956 acres; the 1954 report gives 1,290, narrowing a 334-acre increase to 1953-54. The 1960 report expressly says 'Lynn Forest comprises the former Gaywood and Shouldham Forests', proving later Lynn totals are combined administrative acreage. Official Forest Research reports continue to identify 'Lynn Forest, Shouldham', proving Shouldham remained a distinct operational/site identity. F37 Forest Histories and Working Plans is elevated to Critical for the exact boundary/tenure history. No exact 1943 lease, supplemental 1953-54 instrument or Lynn/Shouldham F37 piece number has yet been found.

Pass 51 establishes a legally real 'forgotten/reputed manor land' route without alleging theft. LPA 1925 s.62(3) expressly includes ground/soil and hereditaments appertaining/reputed to appertain or known as part/member of a manor, while s.62(4)-(5) preserves contrary intention and the transferor's actual title. The 1975 Drabblegate Commons decision is a Norfolk comparator where about six acres reputed to be manor land passed under a manor conveyance/assent. Conversely, Comber [2026] EWHC 1244 (Admin), citing Delacherois, confirms land distinctly conveyed away ceases to form part of the manor. For Colts, the positive parcel inventory now starts with the 1633 capital messuage/close, four tenements, alder carr, Appletons and Batchelors, bridged by the 1811 estate map and 1843 Homestall/Further Homestall terminology. A new exact 1849 HARE 5370 terrier target sits between the tithe and HARE 5466. The 1977 Shouldham Village Green decision proves local ownership could genuinely become unclaimed/forgotten, but there is no evidence the Green was Colts land and no evidence of theft/fraud.

Notes: Added 4 non-duplicate Digital Records, 4 Actual Digital Assets, 6 Search Variants, 3 Land Severance Timeline rows, 2 Land Recovery Audit rows and 2 retrieval targets; upgraded the whole-Colts-Farm audit and HMLR target. The 1904/05 and 1927/28 OS LVII.7 maps now bracket the Edwardian period and place a detailed parcel-geometry snapshot immediately before the 1929/1930 deeds. TNA's Valuation Office Survey is elevated to Critical because its annotated plans and field books can identify owner, occupier, legal interest, tenancy/rent and acreage for Colt's Hall/Farm if the assessment number is recovered. HMLR INSPIRE now supplies a systematic current registered-freehold screening route, but it is explicitly not treated as proprietor or exact-title proof. Existing 1912 Kelly evidence is integrated rather than duplicated: Walter Lemmon remains at Colts Hall and is listed as farmer of Colts Hall Farm while Hare/Hoff are principal landowners. No theft or fraud evidence was found.

Notes: Added 4 non-duplicate Digital Records, 4 Actual Digital Assets, 8 Search Variants, 2 Land Recovery Audit rows and 2 retrieval targets; upgraded HARE 2402 and the 1597 Land Severance Timeline row. The principal conceptual gain is that HARE 2402 proves the 1597 Colt→Shouldham bargain-and-sale was geographically broader than the six-acre Colt's Hall core: associated Colt messuages, lands and tenements were conveyed in Runcton Holme, Thorpland, Watlington, Tottenhill, Setchey, the Wiggenhalls, Terrington and Marshland. These are now treated as an outlying Colt-estate recovery class, NOT automatically as manorial land. HMLR guidance confirms unregistered land is not ownerless and provides a recovery method using adjoining titles and planning ownership certificates. The council conservation statement strengthens multi-generational Lemmon occupation of Colts Hall; Companies House extends the Colts Hall address trail through Alfred George Pearce into the modern period; a 2002 planning decision creates a targeted Certificate A/B ownership-file lead. No theft/fraud evidence was found.

Notes: Added 5 non-duplicate Digital Records, 5 Actual Digital Assets and 10 Search Variants; upgraded WCT-DIG-0306 (PG22) and tightened the Land Recovery Audit terminology. HMLR PG22 supplies the decisive fragmentation control: manorial land is historic manor land that has not been transferred separately from the lordship and may consist of scattered small pieces. Therefore 'fragmentation' is not shorthand for unclaimed bits belonging to the present lord; only an unsevered residual fragment whose chain reaches the present claimant is a recovery candidate. PG10 makes Form SIM the first modern parcel-status test. PG1 confirms unregistered ownership remains a documentary/root-of-title question, PG2 supplies a reconstruction route if deeds are lost, and PG63 confirms Land Charges is not an ownership register. A separate current-address lead was also found: a property-data page lists 'Trussbut Lodge, 22 The Green' in the same Shouldham street/postcode list as 'Colts Hall, 21 The Green'. The Trussbut name is potentially useful for parcel localisation but its origin/date/title relationship is wholly unproved and it is not treated as manorial-title evidence. No present Colts parcel is yet proved to belong to the current lordship, and no theft/fraud evidence was found.

The newly received SL26/6/CR/1 images upgrade the 1512 Draft Court Roll of the Manor of Watlington from a catalogue-only retrieval target to primary visual material received; its substantive entries are not yet transcribed and the generic Watlington styling is not automatically equated with Colts/Trussbutts. A 1796 Shouldham/Shouldham Thorpe enclosure notice now supplies a detailed transformation layer over greens, commons, fen/waste, roads and named Thomas Hare parcels, while bibliographic metadata identifies the 11-page 1798 printed allotment/roads/drain/fences schedule as a critical retrieval target. HMLR PG40 adds the micro-parcel controls for roadway soil, verges/ditches, stream beds and lake beds: small residual pieces are legally possible but the presumptions are rebuttable and do not create Colts ownership. Current conclusion remains that it is not necessary for every historic square yard to have been absorbed into a later registered estate, but no present residual parcel is yet proved to have descended with the Watlington-Colts title. No theft/fraud evidence was found.

The strongest new local control is White 1845's separate one-rood 'old poor's land': a quarter-acre historic parcel remained separately identifiable alongside the 95-acre fuel allotment. The Charity Commission now confirms charity 207556 owns and/or leases land/property, while Borough Council FY24_2 material identifies Shouldham Poors Charity allotment land at the village entry from Mill Road as the community-orchard site. These are not Colts land, but they are concrete local examples showing small/special-purpose land streams can persist. TNA ACC 2022/153 adds a potentially major late-15th/early-16th-century extent (?Shouldham, or Fincham/Runcton Holme) plus fuel-allotment digital images, providing a new 1512-adjacent target. HMLR's 28 Aug 2026 INSPIRE-ID lookup sharpens current gap screening but expressly leaves leasehold/other-tenure explanations, so SIM remains decisive. The official 2009 conservation statement closes the modern Trussbot/Trussbut Lodge name as historic continuity evidence: it is a modern/post-war house/name. No present Colts parcel is yet proved to belong to the current lordship and no theft/fraud evidence was found.

Research focus: Modern parcel identification: 1985 10-acre freehold 'near the hall'; 1911 small-holdings fragmentation; 1883 pound microparcel; Westgate geometry
Notes: Added 4 Digital Records, 4 Actual Digital Assets, 9 Search Variants, 3 Land Severance Timeline rows and 3 Land Recovery Audit rows; enriched the existing Historic England Colts landscape record with the 1883 livestock-pound microparcel without deleting prior evidence. Strongest new lead: Companies House proves Alfred G. Pearce (Farms) Ltd mortgaged 10 acres of freehold land 'near the hall' in Shouldham in 1985, separately from the company's Mill Farm and Sutton Fen Farm acreage. Alfred George Pearce later used Colts Hall as Companies House correspondence address, making this a very high-priority localisation/title lead, but the mortgage does not identify which hall and does not prove any Colts/manorial connection. Hansard 7 Apr 1911 proves a 30-acre Shouldham field was proposed for small-holdings acquisition and an alternative 16-acre field was offered, adding a direct local fragmentation/reorganisation control. Historic England's 1883 pound site supplies another precise microparcel to trace, while official 2002/2023 planning records provide a Westgate Street geometry bridge for the Pearce/Colts Hall locality. No present residual Colts parcel is yet proved and no theft/fraud evidence was found.

Research focus: Dual-sheet Valuation Office correction + 1992 mortgage-release target + protected-core owner-file route
Notes: Added 4 Digital Records, 4 Actual Digital Assets, 9 Search Variants, 2 retrieval targets, 3 Land Severance Timeline rows and 2 Land Recovery Audit rows; enriched existing OS, Valuation Office, Historic England and 1985 mortgage entries without deleting prior evidence. The strongest practical advance is the pre-1930 ownership search: TNA identifies Peterborough (King's Lynn) as IR 127/8 and instructs researchers to move from OS sheet to annotated assessment number to IR 58 field book; Pass 58 corrects the earlier single-sheet assumption because both Norfolk LVII.7 and XLV.16 contain Shouldham. XLV.16 is now captured in 1884/85, 1904/05 and 1927/28 editions. Companies House also fixes an exact 16 Jun 1992 form 403b release/cessation filing in the Pearce Farms charge history, but the public metadata does not identify the affected charge, so it is a retrieval target rather than evidence that the 10-acre parcel was released. Historic England's RSM 30601 / NHLE 1020446 scheduling metadata, paired with the 2001 protection agreement, supplies a new owner/parcel-file route for the surviving Colts-farm earthworks. No present residual Colts parcel is yet proved and no theft/fraud evidence was found.

Research focus: 1512 court roll substantially read + Henry Wyatt/Watlington estate-context bridge
Notes: Added 1 non-duplicate Digital Record and 1 Actual Digital Asset, 9 Search Variants and 1 Land Severance/identity-control row; substantially upgraded the existing 1512 manuscript, TNA-methodology and Land Recovery Audit entries rather than duplicating them. The improved 18-page SL26/6/CR/1 PDF now establishes a general Watlington manorial court on 5 Jun 1512 with at least five customary conveyancing entries. The repeated structure includes surrender into the lord's hands, admission to the recipient, hereditary customary tenure, previously due/accustomed services, entry fines, fealty and full seisin by the rod. This makes the roll a genuine holding-level parcel/title source, while personal names and property clauses remain too uncertain to certify. A new scholarly bridge is Steven Gunn's OUP study of Sir Henry Wyatt's land market: it independently places Watlington within Wyatt's Norfolk acquisitions and later consolidation around Ashill and Watlington, supported by CP 25/1/170/197/106 and citations to NRO Hare 1870–1 and 1875–6. That strengthens Wyatt as the candidate estate context for the 1512 court but does not prove the court is Wyatt's or that either generic Watlington manor is Colts/Trussbutts. TNA's copyhold guidance also sharpens the land-recovery control: the admissions evidence tenant/customary estates, not automatically lord-owned demesne. No present residual Colts parcel is proved and no theft/fraud evidence was found.

Research focus: Wyatt Norfolk verification + multiple-Watlington identity controls + St Peter advowson test
Notes: Added 0 duplicate/new Digital Records deliberately. Pass 60 materially upgrades existing WCT-DIG-0389, WCT-DIG-0064 and ADA-132; adds 8 Search Variants; and strengthens the 1506->1512 Land Severance identity row and the 1512 Land Recovery Audit. Gunn's searchable text is now more tightly source-controlled: its index explicitly separates Watlington, Norfolk (231-2) from Watlington, Oxon (149), while the Norfolk land-market sentence places Wyatt's purchases northwards to Ashill, Fincham and Watlington and footnote 51 cites NRO Hare 1870-1, Hare 1875-6 and CP25/1/170/197/106. This removes the Oxfordshire ambiguity from the Pass 59 Gunn bridge but still does not identify the 1512 court or connect Wyatt's generic Watlington manor to Colts/Trussbutts. Existing WCT-DIG-0064 is tightened to the exact wording 'John Gawsell, of Wallington and Watlington, viv. 1504', while WCT-DIG-0062 remains a separate generic Manor of Watlington title stream to Thomas Shuldham; together these reinforce the multiple-interest control. The exact HARE item titles/content remain unrecovered. The new decisive research route is the 1506 fine's St Peter advowson: diocesan presentation/institution records around 1506-1512 may independently track the Wyatt/Pynkeney stream. No present residual Colts parcel is proved and no theft/fraud evidence was found.

Research focus: St Peter advowson vacancy test + Simon Fincham rector/probate source-finder + HARE exact-reference search
Notes: Added 0 new Digital Records deliberately. Pass 61 adds 8 targeted Search Variants and 1 Actual Digital Asset (the digitised 1863 William Blyth Fincham monograph as a source-finder), and tightens the existing 1506->1512 identity-control row and 1512 Land Recovery Audit rather than duplicating evidence. The direct 1506 final concord remains CP 25/1/170/197 no.106: Henry Wyatt, Richard Wyatt and Reynold Pegge acquired the Manor of Watlyngton with land, rent, a free fold and the advowson of St Peter. A later Fincham-history source-finder appears to identify a Simon Fincham/Fyncham as Rector of Watlington with a Norwich will in 1512, but the exact page/index entry has not been independently recovered in a citable primary/index form, so that identity is NOT promoted to evidence. Norfolk Record Society confirms its published Consistory Court will index covers 1370-1550, creating a precise verification route. [Inference] If Simon's Watlington incumbency and 1512 death/probate are confirmed, the first institution/presentation after his vacancy becomes the strongest advowson identity test: identify the presenter/patron and compare that stream with Wyatt/Pynkeney and the 5 Jun 1512 court, while allowing for lapse, alternate turns, grants or feoffees. Exact HARE 1870-1 / 1875-6 catalogue titles/content remain unrecovered. No present residual Colts parcel is proved and no theft/fraud evidence was found.

Research focus: Same-series Wallington/Watlington control + Simon Fyncham rector statement verification + AALT link correction
Notes: Added 1 non-duplicate Digital Record (WCT-DIG-0390), 1 Actual Digital Asset (ADA-134), 8 Search Variants, 1 Land Severance identity-control row and 1 Land Recovery comparator row; upgraded existing rows without deleting prior evidence. The strongest direct-source correction is WCT-DIG-0014: CP25/1/170/197 no.102 (22 May 1506) is confirmed as 3 messuages and 30 acres in Wallyngton' and Thorplond', and its linked AALT endpoint is IMG_0155. The old workbook link IMG_0159 belongs to no.106, the separate 8 Jul 1506 Manor of Watlyngton' / free-fold / St Peter advowson concord, and is corrected. This produces a clean same-series, seven-week Wallington-cum-Thorpland versus Watlington identity control. WCT-DIG-0107 was also directly rechecked: the 13 May 1498 Nicholas Fyncham concord is correctly no.48 and links to IMG_0081; it separately lists Walyngton' and Watlyngton'. A new secondary digital source, WCT-DIG-0390, now verifies the exact compiled statement ‘Simon, Rector of Watlington’ and ‘Will, at Norwich, 1512’, citing ‘Bl.’. This upgrades the rector lead as a recoverable secondary statement only: the underlying Norwich will/register/folio, exact Blyth page and diocesan institution/presentation remain unverified. [Inference] If those are confirmed, the first post-vacancy St Peter presentation becomes a strong independent test of the advowson acquired by Henry Wyatt in 1506. Exact HARE 1870-1 / 1875-6 titles/content remain unrecovered. No present residual Colts parcel is proved and no theft/fraud evidence was found.

Research focus: Ramsey Abbey 1435-36 Watlington court identity control + Fyncham family/property bridge
Notes: Added 1 non-duplicate Digital Record (WCT-DIG-0391), 1 Actual Digital Asset (ADA-135), 8 Search Variants, 1 Land Severance identity-control row and 1 Land Recovery comparator row; materially upgraded WCT-DIG-0390 and the 1506->1512/1512-court audit rows without deleting prior evidence. The major new identity control is a search-indexed official Public Records Commission inventory entry within Ramsey Abbey's Norfolk records: 'Watlington, manor. Roll of court baron and customary court, anno 14 Hen. VI' (1435-36). The underlying medieval roll and its modern shelfmark remain unrecovered, but the inventory proves that a generic Watlington manor/customary court existed in a separate Ramsey archival estate context, so the 1512 SL26/6 court cannot be assigned to Wyatt or Colts by manor-name alone. The FINCHAM compilation is also upgraded: John Fyncham's 1494/95-1496 testament/property context includes Shuldham Thorpe, Walyngton and Watlington and names 'magistro Symeon Fyncham'; the related child-list states Simon was Rector of Watlington with a Norwich will in 1512. This is a stronger secondary family/property/clerical bridge, but the same-person identity and underlying probate/institution evidence remain unproved, especially because multiple Simeon Fynchams occur in adjacent generations. TNA/NRO also exposes a precise 4 Nov 1496 John Fyncham IPM target, Hare 2026 193 x 5, but its catalogue description does not itself mention Watlington and it is retained as a retrieval target rather than promoted as direct Watlington evidence. Exact HARE 1870-1 / 1875-6 titles/content remain unrecovered. No present residual Colts parcel is proved and no theft/fraud evidence was found.

Research focus: Watlington-with-West Dereham court-series bridge + collateral Tittleshall/Trusbutts court-book split
Notes: Checkpoint only; research continued beyond this pass. Added WCT-DIG-0392 and WCT-DIG-0393, ADA-136/137, 10 search variants, 2 Land Severance identity rows and 2 Land Recovery comparator rows; materially upgraded WCT-DIG-0058 and the 1512 audit. Searchable catalogue metadata now names a 'Manor of Watlington-with-West Dereham. Court (Norfolk)' series for 1540-1566 and 1786-1909. [Inference] Its 1540 start closely matches the independently logged antiquarian statement that William Butts held his first court in 32 Hen VIII for the former West Dereham Abbey manor in Watlington as farmer of the King, making the first roll a critical identity test against SL26/6. TNA's official 2002 NRO accessions also verify ACC 2002/145: 'Tittleshall alias Trusbutts in Runcton Holme and Tottenhall manor: court book 1622-1785', plus separate West Dereham manor court minutes 1792-1856. Tittleshall alias Trusbutts is deliberately treated as a collateral Runcton Holme/Tottenhall comparator, not Watlington-Colts proof. The Public Records inventory's separate 'Watlington, maner' et advoc'' OCR phrase remains heading-ambiguous and is not assigned to Ramsey. HARE 1870-1 / 1875-6 remain unresolved; no present residual Colts parcel or theft/fraud is proved.

Research focus: 1330 Bryseyard Watlington-and-Longham split + Longham-Priors-Coke/Holkham competing stream
Notes: Checkpoint after continuing past Pass 64. Added WCT-DIG-0394/0395, ADA-138/139, 10 Search Variants, 2 Land Severance identity rows and 2 Land Recovery comparator rows; updated the 1512 audit and Rights Survival Legacy without deleting earlier evidence. The 1329/30 Thomas Bardolf IPM is now separately source-controlled: Geoffrey Bryseyard holds a manor in Watlington and Longham for one knight's fee, while another tenant group holds a separate one-fee Watlington/Foston/Wallington/Setchey/Hardwick block; both owe Castelward/Waytefee, demonstrating that common superior-honour service does not identify one subordinate manor. Modern scholarship citing Holkham Estate Catalogue vol.5 doc.650 states Coke bought Longham Priors from Futter on 28 Sep 1610, and Tawney lists 1611 Tittleshall Book 62 material for 'Longham and Watlington' and 'Watlington and Priors'. [Inference] This creates a strong competing Longham-Priors-Coke stream and weakens the hypothesis that the 1330 Bryseyard manor is the direct antecedent of the Shouldham-centred Trusbut fee. The actual medieval descent bridge and Holkham manuscripts remain unrecovered. HARE 1870-1 / 1875-6, Simon Fyncham's primary 1512 probate/institution, the first 1540 Watlington-with-West Dereham roll, and the lord/steward identities in SL26/6 remain unresolved.

Direct NCC probate transcriptions now expose Thomas Kervyle the younger's 1522 multi-place Watlington estate and Thomas Kervile elder's will dated 31 Jan 1522/proved 1535 with a capital messuage, rents/reversions/suits/services/wards/marriages/reliefs/escheats, windmills and liberties of a foldcourse-and-a-half in Watlington. This is a critical competing Kervile property/rights stream, not proof of a Kervile manor or Colts identity. The exact catalogue route for Watlington-with-West Dereham is now FamilySearch catalog 438436, with FHL films 1472612 item 10 and 1702188 item 14, but the 1540 opening roll remains uninspected. The 1427 Trusbut/Kervyle split is source-controlled to E-CIPM 22-799, TNA C 139/30/56 mm.13,15. [Inference] continuity from Robert Kervyle's 1427 quarter-fee into the Tudor Kervile estate is possible but unproved. No present residual Colts parcel or theft/fraud is proved.

Research focus: Kervile continuity test: 1440 Geoffrey anchor + 1567 Robert/Humphrey of Watlyngton + swan-mark branch control
Notes: Added 3 non-duplicate Digital Records (WCT-DIG-0398-0400), ADA-143/144/145 and 10 Search Variants; upgraded WCT-DIG-0011 and the existing Kervile Land Severance / Land Recovery rows without deleting prior evidence. Mapping the Medieval Countryside directly names Geoffrey Kervyle as a Norfolk juror at Thetford on 19 Feb 1440 (TNA C 139/98/28 mm.11-12), providing a new primary-derived chronological bridge candidate after the secondary Robert Kerville d.1434 notice. More importantly, the Hilary 1567 Common Pleas index CP40/1253 d.280 directly styles both Robert Kervyle and Humphrey Kervyle as gentlemen of Watlyngton, independently proving persistence of a Kervile Watlington gentry stream after the 1522/1535 capital-messuage/foldcourse wills and before the 1597 Colts deed. A digitised west-Norfolk swan-mark study separately names Humphrey Kervyle of Watlington as son of Humphrey Kervyle of Lynn, alive in 1535, reinforcing the need to distinguish same-name branches. [Inference] Long Kervile continuity at Watlington is now materially stronger, but the generation-by-generation descent of the 1427 quarter-fee into the Tudor estate and then into the 1567 men remains unproved. No present residual Colts parcel or theft/fraud is proved.

Notes: Added WCT-DIG-0401-0403, ADA-146-148 and 10 Search Variants; upgraded WCT-DIG-0012 and the Kervile Land Severance / Land Recovery rows without deleting prior evidence. The decisive new source is Daniel Gurney's 1858 printed transcription of Robert Kervyle of Watlington's will, expressly stated to be taken from the Bishop of Norwich's Register Surflete. Robert's last will dated 19 Nov 1434, proved Norwich 12 Jul 1435, directly devises to son Richard 'my manor' in Watlington, formerly associated with John son of William son of Thomas de Watlington, together with its lands, tenements and appurtenances. This upgrades the Kervile branch from a quarter-fee/property comparator to a directly evidenced competing MANOR OF WATLINGTON stream. [Inference] Because probate falls immediately before the generic 14 Hen VI (1435-36) Watlington court roll, Richard Kervyle is now a prime lord/tenant name to test when that roll is recovered, but no identity is asserted. Added a 2 Sep 1402 Robert ?Keruyle junior Norfolk-juror control and the qualified 1858 statement that the Kerviles appear to have conveyed their Watlington estate to the Gawsels shortly after the 1563 Visitation; the latter is retained strictly as a missing-deed retrieval bridge, not transfer proof. No present residual Colts parcel or theft/fraud is proved.

The Norfolk Visitation (Harl. 1552) directly names Robert Kervyle of Watlington, Richard as eldest son, Geoffrey as second son of Islington/Marshland, and Geoffrey's son Thomas as of Watlington. Read with Robert's 1434 will, which directly devised the manor to Richard, this narrows the missing succession to a specific Richard -> Geoffrey/Geoffrey-line event; the actual death/reversion/surrender/settlement remains unfound. Two new royal-record controls push the provenance backward: in 1340 Adam son of John de Watlyngton is directly tied to two acres in Thorpland, and in 1361 John de Watlyngton and Edmund Kervyle are jointly named in a Blackborough mortmain licence covering west-Norfolk property. These do not prove identity with the will's John son of William son of Thomas de Wathlington but establish a real pre-1434 de Watlyngton/Kervyle network. Correction/control: existing 1867 court-roll notes already place Gawsells Manor in Watlington under William Butts jure uxoris in 1542-43, so Gurney's qualified post-1563 Kervile->Gawsell conveyance cannot explain the origin of Gawsells Manor; if real, it would be a later additional transfer/merger/augmentation.

Research focus: Richard Kervyle d.s.p. sourced + manor/Kreykyscroft remainder distinction + Islington Court Rolls priority
Notes: Added WCT-DIG-0407/0408 and 10 Search Variants; upgraded WCT-DIG-0401, WCT-DIG-0404, WCT-DIG-0391 and ADA-146; rewrote the Kervile Land Severance / Land Recovery rows without deleting prior evidence. Gurney's corrected dedicated Watlington pedigree explicitly marks Richard Kervyle, Robert's eldest son and 1434 manor devisee, 'obiit s.p.' (died without issue), and the Supplement explains that Kerville pedigree corrections were chiefly taken from the 1563 and 1612 Visitations and the Islington Court Rolls. This sharply elevates the Islington court rolls as the best next source for the succession. The more important legal correction comes from Robert's actual 1434 will: the Watlington manor is devised to Richard, his heirs and assigns, while the separate 20-acre Kreykyscroft holding has an express conditional remainder to Geoffrey if Richard dies without bodily heirs before Elizabeth. No equivalent Geoffrey remainder is stated for the manor. Therefore Richard's childlessness alone does not prove that the manor passed to Geoffrey. [Inference] Collateral inheritance remains possible only if Richard died seised without intervening alienation and Geoffrey was the relevant heir; those facts remain unproved. The 1435-36 Watlington court roll remains a critical Richard-name test, and its exact modern shelfmark is still unrecovered. No present residual Colts parcel or theft/fraud is proved.

Notes: Added WCT-DIG-0409/0410, ADA-152/153/154 and 10 Search Variants; corrected WCT-DIG-0407 and WCT-DIG-0404 plus the Kervile Land Severance / Land Recovery rows without deleting prior evidence. The central Pass 71 correction is source attribution: Gurney's explicit statement that pedigree corrections were chiefly taken from the 1563 and 1612 Visitations and the Islington Court Rolls introduces his corrected WIGGENHALL ST MARY'S Kervile pedigree. The separate Watlington pedigree appears later and marks Richard, Robert's eldest son, 'obiit s.p.' without an equivalent statement identifying the Islington rolls as its source. Pass 70 therefore over-attributed the evidence basis. Richard d.s.p. remains a secondary Gurney statement whose primary source is unidentified. Separately, Robert's actual 1434 will directly orders Geoffrey to be enfeoffed in fee simple in a messuage at Islington plus named parcels, proving Geoffrey had an independent Islington estate apart from Richard's Watlington manor. Official British Library metadata identifies Tilney-with-Islington manorial compotus rolls for 1496-1506 (Add Roll 67553-67556), a useful later branch retrieval route but too late to prove Richard's immediate succession. The public NRA inventory also locates an Islington court book of 1823, confirming later survival but not Gurney's earlier rolls. No primary Richard death/heirship or manor-transfer instrument has yet been found. No present residual Colts parcel or theft/fraud is proved.

Research focus: Shuldham-line Watlington title chronology identifies 1435-36 court candidate + 1373/1386 Shuldham-Trussbut property crossover
Notes: Added WCT-DIG-0411/0412, ADA-155/156 and 10 Search Variants; materially upgraded WCT-DIG-0062, WCT-DIG-0085 and WCT-DIG-0391; added two Land Severance and two Land Recovery rows without deleting prior evidence. The key new extraction from Norfolk Archaeology VI pp.300-303 is the exact title chronology for a distinct Manor of Watlington: Thomas Hawdekyn presented to Watlington church in right of his wife Katherine in 1425 and 1427; Katherine Curteys, her niece and heir, received livery of the manor in 22 Hen VI (1443-44) and presented in 1451; Thomas Shuldham likely succeeded thereafter, and his 1467 will left the manors of Shouldham, Burnham Deepdale and Watlington to wife Margaret for life. [Inference] This makes the Hawdekyn/Bartholomew-descended manor a strong candidate for the otherwise anonymous 1435-36 Watlington court, because that court falls inside the documented 1427-to-1443 title window; the court heading is still required. The same article also cites a 1373 deed by William de Shuldham securing land in Shuldham to Thomas son of Nicholas Trussbut and a 26 Jul 1386 release by Agnes, William's widow, to Trussbut. This is direct Shuldham-Trussbut property interaction, but the land is in Shuldham and is not proved to be Watlington-Colts/Trussbutts. No present residual Colts parcel or theft/fraud is proved.

Research focus: Bartholomew coheir -> Shuldham branch proves Trussbut deed sits inside Watlington title family + 1454 Thomas Sholdham esquire control
Notes: Added WCT-DIG-0413/0414, ADA-157/158 and 10 Search Variants; materially upgraded WCT-DIG-0104, WCT-DIG-0411 and WCT-DIG-0412 plus the Shuldham Land Severance / Land Recovery rows without deleting prior evidence. The major result is that the 1373/1386 Shuldham-Trussbut land transaction is not merely between two unrelated local families: the Henry-VI Watlington title pedigree states that John Bartholomew held the Manor of Watlington and that his daughters included Margaret, who married John Glemsford and carried the manor to him, and Agnes, who married William de Shuldham. The same William/Agnes couple are the parties whose 1373/1386 deeds protected and then released land in Shuldham to Thomas son of Nicholas Trussbut. Thus Trussbut directly transacted with a coheir family branch of this Watlington-manor title pedigree. The land remains expressly in Shuldham, so no Watlington parcel or manor merger is proved. The Shuldham route to later Thomas is also refined as a coheir-family route through Agnes rather than an unrelated later acquisition; Dashwood's statement that Thomas 'would succeed' after Katherine Curteys remains inference about the operative transition. A contemporary Paston petition draft dated 1454? independently names Thomas Sholdham, esquire, supplying a post-1451 status/date control but not styling him of Watlington. Modern HARE references for the 1373/1386 deeds, Curteys livery, Thomas's exact succession instrument and the 1435-36 court roll remain unresolved. No present residual Colts parcel or theft/fraud is proved.

Research focus: Fyncham-Trusbut marriage immediately precedes 1403 Watlington fee + probable 1474 Deepdale severance from Shuldham grouped estate
Notes: Added WCT-DIG-0415/0416, ADA-159/160/161 and 12 Search Variants; materially upgraded existing WCT-DIG-0008 instead of duplicating the already-ledgered 1403 Lawrence Trussebute record; added two Land Severance and two Land Recovery rows without deleting prior evidence. Re-verification of E-CIPM 18-793 (Norfolk inquisition at Shouldham, 4 Jul 1403; TNA C 137/37/39 mm.9-10, E 149/81/3 m.3) shows Lawrence Trussebute holding both a separate Watlington quarter-fee and a full fee across Watlington, Tottenhill, Setchey, Shouldham Thorpe and Langham. The same schedule separately puts a Foston/Shouldham Thorpe quarter-fee and a Fincham/West Dereham/Roxham/Fordham fee with John de Fyncham and others. A digitised Fincham pedigree, checked by page image, states Alicia Fyncham married Laurence Trusbutt of Shouldham, Esquire, citing a marriage settlement in 17 Ric II (1393-94). This is a tight family/tenure network but the original settlement and acquisition mechanism are missing, so no claim is made that Alicia brought Laurence's Watlington fee. Separately, a derivative charter transcription dated 5 Oct 1474 gives Margaret widow of Thomas Shuldham senior a life annuity of 8 marks 6s.8d. from the manor of Depdale called Holkhammes, from John Fyncham and feoffees; Fincham material says John purchased Burnham Deepdale in 1474, while his 1494 will names Depdale and NRO Hare 2026 193 x 5 (4 Nov 1496) officially confirms a manor in Depdale and Brankastir. [Inference] This strongly indicates Deepdale was being severed/restructured from Thomas Shuldham's 1467 grouped Watlington/Shouldham/Deepdale estate, but the operative purchase deed is still missing. No present residual Colts parcel or theft/fraud is proved.

Research focus: 1403->1427 recurring Trusbut one-fee block + exact HARE 2683-4 / HARE 2493 archive-target confirmation
Notes: Added WCT-DIG-0417/0418, ADA-162/163 and 10 Search Variants; corrected the earlier WCT-DIG-0011 shorthand 'direct continuity from Laurence to Thomas' to the stricter conclusion 'strong recurring fee-block continuity; holder relationship unproved'; upgraded WCT-DIG-0008, WCT-DIG-0161 and WCT-DIG-0164; added one Land Severance and one Land Recovery row without deleting prior evidence. Direct comparison now shows Lawrence Trussebute's 1403 one-fee block (Watlington, Tottenhill, Setchey, Shouldham Thorpe, Langham) and Thomas Trusbut's 1427 one-fee block (Watlington, Tottenhill, Garbodesthorp, Setchey, ?Longham) share the same fee quantity and three exact places; later official NRO records prove the alias 'Shouldham Thorpe alias Garboysthorpe', making Garbodesthorp a strong likely historical form of the same locality. The fifth element remains unresolved and is not forced: Langham != automatically ?Longham. Modern scholarship places Lawrence dead by Easter 1418, narrowing the holder transition to c.1418-1427. The same chapter's source notes are now explicitly re-controlled: footnote 29 = NRO HARE 2683-4 for 1386 additions to the Trussebut estates in Shouldham; footnote 42 = NRO HARE 2493 for Lawrence's 330+ acres in Shouldham, Thorpe and Fincham in addition to the Trussebut manor at Shouldham. These exact manuscripts are now the highest-priority physical-parcel and succession targets. No source yet proves Thomas's kinship to Lawrence or automatic identity of the fee with later Watlington-Colts/Trusbuttes. No present residual Colts parcel or theft/fraud is proved.

Research focus: Runcton-Holme lease re-extracted + direct Trusbut-heiress-to-Thomas-Colt visitation bridge + Runcton archive corpus
Notes: Added WCT-DIG-0419/0420, ADA-164/165/166 and 12 Search Variants; materially upgraded existing WCT-DIG-0033 (1413-14 Runcton Holme lease), WCT-DIG-0035 (1561 Colt/Trusbut visitation), WCT-DIG-0026 (Nicholas-vs-Thomas Colt correction) and WCT-DIG-0142 (Joan/John Colt succession), and added two Land Severance plus two Land Recovery rows without deleting prior evidence. Pass 76 visually rechecked Christ's College Muniments Inventory page 47: Bromhill Site MR7 item 53(1) is a 1 Hen V, 60-year lease to Laurence ?Trussebut [alternative catalogue reading Gressebut] of all lands, tenements, rents and tithes in Runcton Holme, rent 20s p.a., with catalogue total about 4a 3r 20p. The surname and measurements remain explicitly uncertain. The same institutional catalogue separately exposes Barnham/Runcton Holme MR4,6 writings, court rolls and rental of the Manor of Runcton, including Wallington/Thorpeland material — a new exact archive corpus for parcel/tenant recovery. The 1561 Suffolk Visitation was re-extracted from Metcalfe's full text: Thomas Cowlte married Jane, daughter and heir of a Trusbut of Norfolk, and John was son/heir; the arms quarter Colt with Trusbut. This is the strongest accessible heraldic heiress bridge into Colt and supersedes later Battle Abbey Roll wording that says Nicholas Colt. BL Harley MS 1177 is now fixed as the 1618 Samuel Lennard manuscript copy target for Harvey's Suffolk 1561/Norfolk 1563 visitation books. DNB independently identifies Joan Trusbut as Thomas Colt's widow and later Sir William Parr's wife. The decisive remaining gap is not whether a Trusbut heiress entered Colt — that is now strongly/directly evidenced — but WHAT Norfolk estate she inherited: recover Joan wife of Parr's IPM (15 Edw IV no.34), John Colt's reported 1485 livery and primary proof naming her father/seat, then compare that estate with the 1403/1427 Trusbut fee and 1597 Watlington Coltes/Trusbuttes. No present residual Colts parcel or theft/fraud is proved.

Research focus: Joan Parr IPM exact reference fixed + John Colt heir/wardship sequence + 1485 livery source ceiling
Notes: Added WCT-DIG-0421/0422, ADA-167/168 and 12 Search Variants; upgraded WCT-DIG-0142 and WCT-DIG-0420 and rewrote the Trusbut-heiress Land Severance/Land Recovery rows plus added focused wardship/livery rows without deleting prior evidence. The strongest Pass 77 gain is Copinger's exact source note: the Cavendish account states Joan, widow of Thomas Colt and wife of Sir William Parr, died in 13 Edw IV; the manor then passed to her son and heir John Colt; footnote 1 explicitly identifies 'Inquisition p.m. ... Joan wife of Sir William Parre, 15 Edw. IV. 34'; and John is stated to have been Parr's ward in 1 Hen VII. This fixes the exact medieval IPM retrieval target and the heir/wardship sequence, although the actual IPM estate schedule remains unseen. Modern BP2003-derived ThePeerage entries separately report that Joan was daughter of John Trusbut of Runcton Holme and that John Colt had livery of his lands on 5 Nov 1485. Those two claims are retained as precise retrieval coordinates only: no primary father/seat source or livery instrument was recovered in this pass. The livery date falls within 1 Hen VII and is chronologically consistent with the wardship statement, making Fine Roll/Chancery/escheator searches on that exact date the next step. The decisive question remains whether Joan's IPM or John's livery lists Norfolk Trusbut property at Watlington, Runcton Holme, Shouldham, Tottenhill, Setchey or related places. No present residual Colts parcel or theft/fraud is proved.

Research focus: Joan Parr IPM yields actual Clayhall manor + death-date reconciliation to 4 Aug 1473
Notes: Added WCT-DIG-0423/0424, ADA-169/170 and 12 Search Variants; upgraded WCT-DIG-0421, WCT-DIG-0142 and WCT-DIG-0420; sharpened the heiress/IPM Land Severance and Land Recovery rows and added a new multi-estate IPM row without deleting prior evidence. The major breakthrough is Daniel Lysons' Barking account, which states that Joan, relict of Thomas Colt/Coke and wife of Sir William Parre, died seised of the Manor of Clayhall and that it descended to John Colte, her son by her first husband; Lysons explicitly cites 'Esch. 15 Edw. IV. No. 34', the same Joan IPM number independently cited by Copinger for the Cavendish succession. Thus the missing IPM trail now yields an actual second manor, not merely a record number. A separate Essex history independently corroborates Joan holding Clayhall in 1475 under Barking Abbey by knight service, rent 15s.3d. and distinctive services. Chronology is also corrected: Copinger's 'Monday before the feast of St Lawrence, 13 Edw IV' resolves to 4 Aug 1473, matching DNB's 1473 death year. Lysons' statement that Joan died in 1475 likely conflates the later 15 Edw IV IPM year with death; this is labelled inference pending the original IPM. Clayhall is Essex property and is NOT assumed to be Trusbut-derived. The decisive target remains the complete 15 Edw IV no.34 IPM/C140 return to see whether Norfolk holdings at Watlington, Runcton Holme, Shouldham, Tottenhill or Setchey were included. No present residual Colts parcel or theft/fraud is proved.

Research focus: Third manor Suffolks tied to Joan's same IPM + scanned Calendarium IV/C140/C66 retrieval route
Notes: Added WCT-DIG-0425/0426, ADA-171/172/173 and 12 Search Variants; upgraded WCT-DIG-0423 and WCT-DIG-0421; expanded the Joan-IPM and John-livery Land Severance / Land Recovery rows without deleting prior evidence. The substantive title gain is a third estate tied to exactly 'Esch. 15 Edw. IV. No. 34': William Robinson's 1823 Enfield history states that Joan died seised of the Manor of Suffolks in Enfield and that it was inherited by John Colt. Robinson's surrounding genealogy is demonstrably corrupted — he reverses the Thomas Colt/Sir Parr marriage order, calls Parr 'Sir Richard', and gives 1476 — so Pass 79 preserves only the property/source citation and rejects those genealogy/date statements. We now have three independent property contexts using the same IPM number: Cavendish/Colt's Hall (Copinger), Clayhall/Barking (Lysons), and Suffolks/Enfield (Robinson). Official TNA guidance confirms that Edward IV Chancery IPMs are in C140, Exchequer counterparts in E149, and that for 1447-1485 land lists the 1828 Calendarium vol.IV should be consulted; a full 756-page public-domain scan of that volume is now fixed as an actual digital asset. TNA also explicitly states that post-IPM livery/wardship records can often be found in Patent Rolls C66, correcting the John Colt search priority from Fine-Roll-heavy searching to C66/Calendar of Patent Rolls Henry VII 1485-1494 first. The actual Calendarium Joan entry and modern C140 file/item are not yet extracted, and no Norfolk property appears in the three recovered estate contexts. No present residual Colts parcel or theft/fraud is proved.

Research focus: Joan fifteenth-year inquisition explicitly includes NORFOLK + Gough Shingham father/seat conflict + 13 Edw IV Raughton control
Notes: Added WCT-DIG-0427/0428/0429, ADA-174/175 and 14 Search Variants; upgraded WCT-DIG-0421, 0423, 0425, 0035 and Historic England WCT-DIG-0015/row16; added two Land Severance and two Land Recovery rows without deleting prior evidence. The Pass 80 breakthrough is Charles Rogers' explicit statement that a fifteenth-year inquisition for the same Johanna, wife of William Parre and formerly married Thomas Colt, contained an extensive list of possessions in Berkshire, Middlesex, NORFOLK, Essex and Suffolk. Norfolk is therefore no longer merely a hoped-for return: its presence is explicitly reported by an old IPM-based secondary source, although the exact Norfolk manors/parcels remain missing and Rogers' adjacent Richard-II footnote is anomalous. Rogers separately describes a 13 Edw IV inquisition concerning tofts at Carlisle and Raughton in Cumberland; Pass 80 creates a strict Raughton-Cumberland != Runcton-Holme-Norfolk control. Richard Gough's earlier Roydon monumental-brass survey records Trusbut gyronny arms over Joan, Colt impaling Trusbut, and states she was daughter of John Trusbut of SHINGHAM, Norfolk; this conflicts with modern BP2003-derived RUNCTON HOLME and formally opens a father/seat source conflict. Gough's 1475 death date is not adopted. The next target is now exact Norfolk-place extraction from Calendarium/C140/E149, with Watlington, Runcton Holme, Shingham, Shouldham, Tottenhill and Setchey all tested independently. PASS80 also appends the previously pending Pass66 TXT correction: ADA-142 is Watlington-with-West Dereham catalogue/film metadata; the 1427 Mapping IPM was an upgrade of an existing Digital Record, not ADA-142. No present residual Colts parcel or theft/fraud is proved.

Research focus: Rogers Norfolk statement visually verified + Richard-II footnote proven printed + Materials p127 false livery lead closed
Notes: Added WCT-DIG-0430/0431/0432, ADA-176/177/178 and 12 Search Variants; upgraded WCT-DIG-0427 and WCT-DIG-0429 plus the Norfolk-IPM and seat-conflict Land Severance / Land Recovery rows without deleting prior evidence. Pass 81 directly opened and visually inspected Rogers' scanned printed pages: the fifteenth-year sentence itself says 'an extensive list of possessions in Berkshire, Middlesex, Norfolk, Essex, and Suffolk', while the printed footnote itself visibly says 'Cal. Inquis. post mortem, Richard II., p.72.' This proves both the Norfolk wording and the citation defect are genuinely in the 1879 source rather than OCR. A second source-control result closes a misleading path: Rogers' suggestion to see Materials for History of Henry VII vol.I p.127 etc. corresponds to Thomas Colt's Yorkist legal dispute with Roger Thorpe after Wakefield; History of Parliament and DNB point Campbell I 127-129 to those proceedings. It is therefore NOT evidence for John Colt's reported 5 Nov 1485 livery, and livery searching remains prioritized in C66/Patent Rolls. Finally, the father/seat conflict is refined: the 1561 visitation says only Trusbut of Norfolk; Gough says John Trusbut of Shingham; Powys-Lybbe preserves 'John Trusbut of Holme, Norfolk'; BP2003-derived sites say Runcton Holme. 'Holme' must not be silently expanded to Runcton. The actual 15 Edw IV no.34 Norfolk place list has still not been extracted from Calendarium/C140/E149, so no Watlington/Shouldham/Runcton/Shingham holding is yet claimed from Joan's IPM. No present residual Colts parcel or theft/fraud is proved.

Notes: Added WCT-DIG-0433/0434/0435/0436, ADA-179/180/181/182 and 12 Search Variants; upgraded WCT-DIG-0426 and appended cumulative Land Severance / Land Recovery rows without deleting prior evidence. Pass 82 breaks the modern-reference bottleneck at the finding-aid level: VCH Barking explicitly cites C 140/52/13 for its Joan wife of William Parre / relict of Thomas Colte Clayhall passage. [Inference] C 140/52/13 is therefore the leading modern Chancery mapping for the old 15 Edw IV no.34 trail, but the actual membranes still must be read before the mapping is declared final. Copinger supplies two additional estate contexts using exactly I.P.M. 15 Edw IV. 34: BOXSTEAD MANOR and 'Pey tones'/Peyton Hall Manor in Suffolk. The reconstructed numbered-IPM packet now has five named property contexts: Cavendish/Colt's Hall, Clayhall, Suffolks, Boxstead and Peyton/Peytones, while Rogers' source-verified statement still reports Norfolk among the counties. Bodleian Charters Catalogue also identifies MS. Ch. Norfolk 340, dated Westminster 28 Jan 17 Edw IV (1478), a surviving commission/writ to take an inquisition of the lands of Joan late wife of Sir William Parre and noting death in 13 Edw IV. The Bodleian collection name is not treated as proof that those lands were in Norfolk. Exact Norfolk manors/parcels remain unextracted; no Watlington/Shouldham/Shingham/Runcton holding is claimed from Joan's IPM yet. No present residual Colts parcel or theft/fraud is proved.

Norfolk 339; upgraded WCT-DIG-0433/ADA-179 so C 140/52 + old no.34 is the safe retrieval form while Pass-82 /13 is retained only as an unresolved source-specific sub-item/citation form. Added WCT-DIG-0437 and ADA-183 for the 1878 Bodleian Calendar entry Ch.339, which names John Tymperley junior, escheator of Norfolk and Suffolk, as the officer assigned in 15 Edw IV to take Joan's inquisition and records the later 28 Jan 17 Edw IV writ to the sheriff of London/Middlesex to distrain him. Added WCT-DIG-0438 and ADA-184 as a procedural control from the modern CIPM editorial introduction: one joint Norfolk/Suffolk escheator writ can generate two county inquisitions and survival can be uneven. This gives a documentary explanation for pursuing a separate Norfolk return and a new named administrative search hook without recycling family profiles. Exact Norfolk manors/parcels remain unextracted; no Watlington/Shouldham/Shingham/Holme/Runcton holding is claimed from Joan's IPM.

Pass 84 expands the missing Joan-Norfolk return search beyond C140/E149: CIPM XXVI and TNA guidance identify E152 enrolments, residual E153 escheator files, and E136/E357 escheator accounts as additional recovery/reconstruction routes. A fully transcribed 1440 Norfolk/Suffolk IPM packet (C139/99/38) then provides a concrete control: one joint writ produced separate Suffolk and Norfolk inquisitions, while the reference table lists an E149 duplicate for the Suffolk return but none for the Norfolk return. Therefore a negative E149 Norfolk search must not be treated as proof that Joan had no Norfolk Chancery return. Existing Pass-82-derived Land Severance/Land Recovery references to Bodleian MS Ch Norfolk 340 were reconciled to the Pass-83 correction MS Ch Norfolk 339. Exact Joan Norfolk property names remain unrecovered.

CIPM XXV explicitly explains that the old Record Commission item number remains the final document number inside the modern numbered C-series file (example 16 Hen VI no.35 -> C139/86/35). VCH Roydon independently cites Joan as C140/52, no.34, so [Inference] C140/52/34 is now the leading exact modern item target. VCH Barking's /13 is retained as an unresolved source conflict; the actual Joan manuscript has not been opened. The same editorial introduction supplies a precise physical finding-aid route, Index Nominum E501/15–18, for E149/E152/E153 duplicates/related returns. Mapping the Medieval Countryside also identifies early Chancery inventories at Trinity College Oxford MSS61–62 (coverage terminating at 15 Edw IV, with crown-held property/tenure/heir summaries) and Bodleian Rawlinson B.231 (surviving IPMs, often counties). Exact Joan Norfolk property names remain unrecovered; no new person, present parcel, or theft/fraud finding is asserted.

Added WCT-DIG-0444-0447 and ADA-188-190; upgraded WCT-DIG-0011, 0015, 0393, 0422, 0426, 0429, 0430 and 0433 plus Land Severance/Land Recovery closure rows. Walter Rye's 1892 collected index to NORFOLK inquisitions contains real 15 Edw IV entries no.33 and no.63 but exposes no exact no.34 and no Parr/Parre/Colt/Trusbut entry, so [Inference] Rogers' printed Norfolk assertion is no longer a safe premise for a hypothetical missing Joan return. More importantly, Parkin/Blomefield vol. VII supplies the direct medieval transmission route: Thomas Trussbut, son/heir of Laurence, by will dated 31 Dec 1451 gives Tittleshall/Holme and Watlington/Tottenhill/Setchey-linked property to son John, Shouldham lands to William; the Shouldham descent then says William died s.p. and the manor passed to Jane, daughter/heir of elder brother John, who married Thomas Colt. Parkin cites Norwich Register Aleyn fol.163 and says John Colt had livery of Tittleshall in Holme in 1 Hen VII. Historic England independently states Colt's manor/Trussbutt's passed by marriage to Thomas Colt. Thus the medieval Trusbut->Colt bridge is closed at primary-derived level; the remaining manuscript-level check is Aleyn fol.163. Exact 5 Nov 1485 livery date remains secondary-only. Parkin's internal John-vs-William Shingham inconsistency is preserved.

A recent manuscript-source study documents the NRO catalogue-row form 'NCC will register Aleyn 19' and identifies Aleyn-period FamilySearch DGS 008076270. Combined with Parkin's Thomas Trussbut citation 'Register Aleyn fol.163', [Inference] the leading digital/catalogue target is 'NCC will register Aleyn 163' within/browsed via DGS 008076270; no Thomas image number is invented. Norfolk County Council's official Historic Maps guidance now supplies the exact 1843 ownership route: every numbered tithe-map plot maps to an apportionment entry giving owner, occupier, field name, cultivation, acreage and valuation, but apportionments are not digitised and must be requested from NRO using parish + plot number. The official ncc_tithe ArcGIS service confirms digitised map coverage in EPSG:27700. Source-control correction: CBTM's HARE 5185 (1811-1818) and HARE 5186 (1851) catalogue metadata describe broad estate maps including Shouldham, but their downloadable 22535/22536 PDFs are Downham Market town-map extracts, not visual Shouldham/Colts maps; Historic England separately cites HARE 6832 for its 1811 Colts continuity. No previously known HARE 5466, ACC 2022/153, Lemmon, or parcel-continuity material was recounted as new. Exact 1843 Shouldham plot numbers and apportionment owners remain to be extracted; modern HMLR ownership remains unproved.

From Historic England's Colt's Hall NGR TF6784408887 and Norfolk County Council's published ncc_tithe cache parameters, the exact 1:500 tile containing Colt's Hall is calculated as level 12 / row 61436 / column 85456 (bbox approx E567831.31–567899.04, N308858.88–308926.61). The image could not be visually fetched through the current web interface, so no 1843 plot number is invented. A separate Downham property reconstruction establishes that Charles Lemmon owned two substantial blocks of property there while living/farming at Shouldham by 1840; this proves White's 'farmer at Colts Hall' cannot be silently read as 'tenant', and the Shouldham tithe apportionment remains decisive. An official Norfolk Records Committee report independently confirms that the Shouldham field book 1440-1 physically survives at NRO and was conserved, incorporating diagrammatic maps of field strips; scholarship fixes the source as HARE 2826 fols.16v,34v. Exact private Act citation also added to the existing enclosure record: 34 Geo.3 c.85 Pr., royal assent 23 May 1794. No Colts-specific Batchelors/Appletons/Beerway name was recovered from the 1796 road notice. Present HMLR ownership remains unverified; no theft/fraud evidence found.

Pass 88 itself still leaves HARE 5370 unread, HARE 5466's full Colts Farm schedule unread, and the actual Shouldham sections of HARE 6832/related estate mapping outstanding. Pass 89 adds WCT-DIG-0453 and ADA-196 from The National Archives' current Tithes guide and corrects WCT-DIG-0449/ADA-192: Norfolk's Historic Maps site does not digitise its apportionments, but TNA's commissioner-copy IR 29 apportionments and IR 30 tithe maps can be viewed online via TheGenealogist. IR 29 contains owner/occupier, plot size/use and rentcharge; IR 30 supplies the numbered map; IR 18 is the administrative file fallback. Exact Shouldham IR references and the actual Colts plot number remain unrecovered, so no owner/occupier is inferred. HARE 5466 catalogue metadata was rechecked only as a status control, not recounted as a new record. Zero new people; no present HMLR ownership or theft/fraud finding.

Research focus: Large Edwardian/WWII ownership block: King's Lynn IR127/8 plan run narrowed; Norfolk 1910 online-access correction; NRO P/DLV local route; Farm Survey digitisation updated
Notes: Hard dedupe retained: zero people counted as new and no previously logged HARE/MAF material recounted. Added WCT-DIG-0454–0457 and ADA-197–200, eight search variants, one new NRO P/DLV retrieval target and one Land Recovery Audit route; upgraded WCT-DIG-0361/ADA-104 and WCT-DIG-0343/ADA-086 plus the existing Valuation Office target/audit row. The strongest Edwardian advance is archival precision: an official TNA accession report identifies IR 127/8 pieces 450–458 as Finance Act 1910 record-sheet plans for the East Anglia Peterborough (King's Lynn) District. Those pieces are now a concrete first test for Norfolk LVII.7 and XLV.16, but are NOT assumed to contain Shouldham or exhaust the district. Current TheGenealogist Lloyd George coverage explicitly says Norfolk/Suffolk remain future East Anglia releases, correcting any impression that the 1910 Shouldham survey can already be searched there online. A second independent Norfolk-local path is now established: NRO currently teaches use of Duties on Land Values field/valuation books, and an exact local citation P/DLV/1/52 demonstrates the NRO shelfmark family; exact Shouldham P/DLV item is still missing. The 1941–43 MAF 32/MAF 73 route was not recounted, but current TNA guidance confirms full digitisation is underway to March 2027 and county publication is progressive; no exact Shouldham farm code surfaced in this pass. HARE 2495/6832/5370/5466 originals remain unread, exact 1843 owner/occupier remains unresolved, current HMLR proprietor/title remains unverified, and no theft/fraud evidence was found.

Research focus: Large pre-1843 ownership block: Clackclose Land Tax 1767–1832 + TNA IR23/IR22/IR24 routes + Lemmon farming continuity
Notes: Hard dedupe retained: no HARE 5466, Pearce mortgage, conservation statement, directory or previously logged Hare/Hoff material was recounted. Added WCT-DIG-0458–0461 and ADA-201–204, eight search variants, two retrieval targets and one Land Recovery Audit row. The strongest new route is the pre-1811 land-ownership bridge: TNA states IR 23 contains the nationwide 1798 Land Tax assessments listing most landowners and main tenants; Norfolk's specialist finding aid independently places the county Quarter Sessions assessments in NRO C/Scd 2 and states Clackclose coverage begins in 1767 within the 1767–1832 annual-bundle system. This supplies a longitudinal Shouldham proprietor/occupier test across the 1794 enclosure and immediately before HARE 6832's 1811 estate map. TNA's IR 22/IR 24 redemption route was also added because, where a 1798 holding was redeemed, certificates can give fuller property descriptions, tenants/leaseholders and occasionally plans. The exact Shouldham IR 23 item, exact Clackclose C/Scd 2 sub-reference, and any Hare/Shouldham redemption contract remain unidentified, so no owner or tenant is invented. A separate parish-register sequence now independently shows Charles Lemmon repeatedly styled farmer in Shouldham/Shouldham Thorpe from 1822 through 1859, materially bracketing White 1845's direct Colts Hall occupation evidence but not proving Colts ownership. Exact 1843 tithe owner/occupier, 1910 owner, HARE originals and current HMLR ownership remain unresolved; no theft/fraud evidence found.

Research focus: Concrete 1875 Colts result: same-period Hare/Allen landowner role split + Charles Lemmon farmer and directly at Colts Hall; HARE 5466 severance inference materially strengthened
Notes: This pass deliberately stopped counting generic record routes and added only two concrete non-duplicate findings. WCT-DIG-0462 records the 1875 Shouldham parish entry: Sir Thomas Hare is lord, Hare and Rev. Stephen Allen are the principal landowners, and Charles Lemmon is separately listed as farmer. WCT-DIG-0463 records the same directory's Norfolk Court Directory p.563, which directly states 'Lemmon Charles, Colts hall, Shouldham, Downham'. Bibliographic control identifies the Kelly/Post Office volume as the 1875 edition. These facts align almost exactly with HARE 5466's post-1874 Hare-estate schedules expressly naming 'Colts Farm in Shouldham'. [Inference] This is now the strongest public same-period evidence that Charles Lemmon operated/occupied Colts Hall/Farm while the physical farm remained in the Hare estate landholding/administrative sphere. It does not yet legally prove Hare's exact freehold parcel because the original HARE 5466 Colts schedule, 1843 apportionment and 1910 valuation remain unread. If the reported 1869 Watlington-Colts lordship transfer is independently confirmed, the 1875/HARE 5466 alignment becomes strong chronological evidence of physical-land/title separation. No current HMLR owner or theft/fraud finding.

Research focus: First parcel-specific severance-instrument candidate: Batchelors/Further Homestall village-hall fragment — 7 Jun 1930 trust deed + 2024 ownership/LR investigation + NRO PD 356/129
Notes: Pass 93 applies the user's exact test: for a surviving historic Colts parcel, identify the instrument by which it supposedly left the chain. Historic England already fixes the modern village hall on the eastern end of an approximately 87m x 25m enclosure within the field corresponding to the greater part of the >9-acre Batchelors close, later Further Homestall and part of early-19C Colt's Farm. New WCT-DIG-0464 proves the Shouldham Village Hall Trust's governing instrument is a Declaration of Trust dated 7 Jun 1930; the current Charity Commission record unexpectedly states that the charity does not own and/or lease land/property. New WCT-DIG-0465 proves that in Mar 2024 Shouldham Parish Council explicitly discussed the background of the hall land ownership/lease and resolved to request the Trust Governance Deed and obtain the Land Registry record before considering sole-trustee status. New WCT-DIG-0466 identifies exact NRO source PD 356/129, cited in UEA scholarship for Shouldham village hall at TF 673 087. [Inference] The 1930 trust instrument is now the leading parcel-specific severance/tenure event for the eastern Batchelors fragment, but its full terms are unread: it may be an operative conveyance/gift/lease or only a governance instrument. No ownerless, unregistered, stolen or current-Colts ownership finding is made. Existing D/HH 8/2/86 and D/Ed manor-purchase material was rechecked and not recounted; a broader D/HH 8 East Anglia property container was added only as a retrieval target.

Research focus: Loop-closure / prior-record recovery audit — stale 'missing' statuses corrected; authoritative Record Closure matrix added
Notes: No new Digital Record IDs were manufactured. Prior-chat/file recovery proved that several items repeatedly being treated as missing were already supplied and analysed: the full 12 Feb 1930 Humphreys->Edleston conveyance; the 1954 selected-manor assent; both distinct 21 Dec 1977 assents; and the 22 May 2017 probate grant. WCT-DIG-0310/0318/0319/0320 issue notes were corrected to CLOSED for those record-recovery purposes. Rights Integrated was corrected so the 1930 deed is no longer listed as a missing decisive document. A new Record Closure sheet now separates CLOSED primary records from genuine open gaps. The true physical-land bottlenecks are reduced to: actual 16 Dec 1929 predecessor deed; exact 1843 tithe plot/apportionment entries; actual HARE 6832 map section; HARE 5370 Colts entry; full HARE 5466 Colts Farm schedule; Hare/Hoff exchange instruments/plans; Batchelors 7 Jun 1930 operative trust/title documents; current HMLR parcel titles; and NHER 2001 protection agreement. The 30 Oct 1969 assent is downgraded to non-blocking modern-chain cleanup. No theft, ownerless-land or current residual-Colts parcel finding is asserted.

Research focus: Modern Colts Hall parcel targeting — exact 2025 planning/address lead; HMLR route tightened without inventing ownership
Notes: Hard dedupe retained: the Charity Commission 7 Jun 1930 Village Hall trust date and 2024 Parish Council Land Registry investigation were already WCT-DIG-0464/0465 and were not recounted. New WCT-DIG-0467 records a 20 Nov 2025 planning index entry for conservation-area lime-tree works at Colts Hall, 21 The Green, Shouldham, PE33 0BY. This does not prove ownership, but it turns the Colts Hall core from a generic place-name into an exact current address-based planning/HMLR target. Because existing WCT-DIG-0362 records HMLR's guidance that planning Certificate A/B material can assist owner tracing, the next public-record test is now the full Borough Council application file: identify application reference/applicant and inspect any ownership certificate or owner notice, then use the exact address for HMLR title/index-map work. No current proprietor/title number, ownerless parcel, theft/fraud, or present residual-Colts ownership is asserted.

Notes: SUPERSEDED BY PASS 98. Pass 96 incorrectly aligned the King George Playing Field row (2/TPO/00673 / T6 Grey Poplar) with Colts Hall. The live planning page shows Colts Hall, 21 The Green as the separate 20 Nov 2025 TREES IN A CONSERVATION AREA entry for T1/T2 lime-tree pollarding. WCT-DIG-0468, the official Eastgate Street/IDox address control, remains valid. See Pass 98 for the corrected current route.

Research focus: 1929 predecessor-deed party capacity control — J.H.T. Green independently confirmed as Weatherall & Green property professional
Notes: Hard dedupe retained. New WCT-DIG-0469 uses the official London Gazette of 17 Jul 1906: James Henry Townsend Green, of Weatherall and Green, was the person appointed by Mr Justice Swinfen Eady to conduct a High Court Chancery estate sale. New WCT-DIG-0470 uses the 1910 Post Office London Commercial Directory, which independently names the exact James Henry Townsend Green as auctioneer, surveyor and brewery valuer, with cross-reference to Weatherall & Green. These records do not recover the Watlington deed and do not prove beneficial ownership. They materially strengthen the capacity-control: the 1930 deed already describes Green of 22 Chancery Lane as land agent/surveyor, so the missing 16 Dec 1929 conveyance must be read for Green's stated legal capacity, the Public Trustee's capacity, root-of-title recitals, consideration, schedule/plan and reservations before assigning ownership. Actual 16 Dec 1929 deed remains CRITICAL; no current proprietor/title, ownerless parcel, theft/fraud or residual-Colts ownership finding is asserted.

Research focus: Data-integrity correction + hard-dedupe freeze — restore correct Colts Hall planning row; park exhausted HARE public research; tighten 1929 predecessor status
Notes: No new Digital Record IDs were manufactured. Pass 98 corrects the Pass 96 planning-row parsing error throughout the live workbook: 2/TPO/00673 / T6 Grey Poplar belongs to King George Playing Field, while Colts Hall, 21 The Green is the separate 20 Nov 2025 conservation-area application for T1/T2 lime-tree pollarding. The exact Colts Hall application reference/full file is not currently surfaced, so no applicant/ownership inference is made. HARE 5466 and HARE 6374/6375 + 6956 public/catalogue research is frozen as already exhausted; those questions now reopen only on receipt of original bundle images/transcripts, not by repeating web/catalogue searches. The 12 Feb 1930 Humphreys->Edleston conveyance remains CLOSED/PRIMARY. The 16 Dec 1929 Green + Public Trustee -> Humphreys item is restated more carefully as RECITAL RECOVERED; SEPARATE ORIGINAL NOT SURFACED IN CURRENT PROJECT SEARCH — this does not prove the user never supplied it in an earlier image/ZIP batch. Record count intentionally remains 470.

Research focus: 1929 network lead + 1843 tithe / Colts Hall exact-reference hard-dedupe
Notes: Added one genuinely new contextual record only: WCT-DIG-0471, the British Newspaper Archive indexed Morning Post Wills and Bequests item of 31 Jul 1897, which names exact J.H.T. Green and an Edward Humphreys as separate legatees in the same reported will. This creates a specific identity/network test but does not prove that Edward is the 1913 Spooner/Coote solicitor or any Watlington connection. A 1914 Law Directory and 1893-94 property-history source identify an Edward Humphreys of Grover, Humphreys & Son, 4 King's Bench Walk, but that remains an unproved identity candidate and was not padded into a separate Digital Record. Targeted searches again failed to surface the exact Colts Hall 20 Nov 2025 planning application reference or the exact 1843 Shouldham tithe plot/owner/occupier/IR reference. HARE 5185/5186 and ACC 2022/153 were hard-deduped as prior work. The 16 Dec 1929 original remains CRITICAL; HARE 5466 and Hare/Hoff remain frozen archive-access dependencies.

Notes: Added one new context-only record, WCT-DIG-0472 / ADA-213: official Borough Council committee record 2/TPO/00575 for two Lime trees on open land north of Lynn Road, south of 10 and east of Westgate Street, confirmed without modification. It is explicitly NOT a Colts ownership or boundary finding. Existing WCT-DIG-0365 was refined with the official 2023 Planning Committee identification of J Cribb as applicant for 23/00056/F at Land east of 52-60 Westgate Street; applicant status remains non-title evidence and exact 2002/2023 overlap is unproved. Existing WCT-DIG-0450 was current-checked against Norfolk County Council's live ncc_tithe MapServer, validating the cache parameters used for the exact tile calculation, but no 1843 plot number was read. Fresh indexed conversation+Library searches did not surface the separate 16 Dec 1929 original; this is only a current-index negative control and does not prove prior upload absence. The exact 20 Nov 2025 Colts Hall Borough application reference remains unsurfaced; 2/TPO/00673 remains the separate King George Playing Field entry. HARE frozen items were not reopened.

Research focus: Hard-dedupe continuation — modern Colts Hall administrative-property control; critical gaps rechecked without speculation
Notes: Added one new context-only record only: WCT-DIG-0473 / ADA-214. Two current public property-data indexes independently expose the exact postal property Colts Hall, 21 The Green, Shouldham, PE33 0BY; one places it in Council Tax Band F and the other lists an EPC rating G, potential E, score 15/100, property type house. These administrative/building facts do NOT prove freehold ownership, title number, parcel extent or historic Colts continuity. The 1843 tithe search again reached Historic England's Homestall/Further Homestall description but no plot number/owner/occupier/IR reference; the validated NCC machine target remains unread. A title-only Library search again did not surface the underlying Batch-5/1929 conveyance artifact, which remains an unsurfaced-source issue rather than proof of absence. Exact legatee-cluster searching still did not identify the 1897 testatrix, and exact searches still did not expose the 20 Nov 2025 Colts Hall Borough application reference. HARE frozen items were not reopened.

Notes: Added WCT-DIG-0474 / ADA-215 only. A digitised/indexed 1835 poll book for the Western Division of Norfolk exposes the exact entry 'Lemmon Charles, Shouldham', independently fixing that name/place eight years before the 1843 tithe and between existing parish-register farmer evidence. The actual voting qualification/property line was not recovered, so elector status is not treated as freehold ownership and no Colts Hall/title inference is made. Exact 1843 tithe plot/owner/occupier/IR reference remains unresolved; the 20 Nov 2025 Colts Hall Borough reference remains unsurfaced; no public copy of the 16 Dec 1929 Green + Public Trustee -> Humphreys deed surfaced; the 1897 testatrix remains unidentified.

Research focus: TREECA retrieval-route correction for the 20 Nov 2025 Colts Hall tree file
Notes: Added WCT-DIG-0475 / ADA-216 only. Official Borough material proves that Shouldham conservation-area tree notifications use the TREECA application class: 24/00135/TREECA at Bodgers Barn, 8 Lynn Road, Shouldham is recorded as a tree application with no objection. A current 1 Jun 2026 Planning Committee delegated-powers report expressly states that ordinary delegated lists exclude TPO and Works to Trees in a Conservation Area; the Tree Matters section treats conservation-area notifications as a separate six-week process. This explains why repeated ordinary delegated-list searching did not expose the 20 Nov 2025 Colts Hall lime-pollarding file. The correct next route is direct TREECA/tree-notification planning-register retrieval by exact address/date/description. The exact Colts Hall 2025 reference remains unresolved and was not guessed. 1835 Lemmon qualification, 1843 tithe owner/occupier and 16 Dec 1929 predecessor deed remain open.

Research focus: Data-integrity correction — Lemmon wife/identity chronology + late-November TREECA sequence targeting
Notes: No new Digital Record ID was manufactured. Existing WCT-DIG-0451 and WCT-DIG-0461 were corrected after a closer cross-read: Discover Downham says the Downham-born Charles Lemmon's first wife was Mary Winearls (married at Shouldham in 1821) and Hannah Dean was his second wife, placing Charles + Hannah at Shouldham by 1840. The Shouldham baptism transcription securely supports an early farmer Charles + Mary stage, but later entries continue to name farmer Charles + Mary through the 1850s. That conflict is now explicitly quarantined: the entire 1822-1859 baptism run is not treated as proven one-household continuity, and Downham property ownership is not used as proof of the 1843 Colts freehold. Existing WCT-DIG-0475 was also refined: the separate 6 Nov 2025 Orchard House Shouldham notification is independently indexed as 25/00257/TREECA, while other Borough-area TREECA examples around 15-25 Nov narrow the correct search stream. The exact 20 Nov Colts Hall reference still was not surfaced and is not guessed. The 1843 tithe plot/owner/occupier and 1929 deed remain open. HARE frozen loops were not reopened.

Research focus: Norfolk tithe series fixed — IR 29/23 apportionment ↔ IR 30/23 paired map; Shouldham final item still open
Notes: Added WCT-DIG-0476 / ADA-217. Official National Archives Discovery records now prove the exact Norfolk tithe-reference architecture: apportionments use IR 29/23/[item] and corresponding maps use IR 30/23/[same item]. Hemblington (274) and Neatishead (389) independently demonstrate the paired same-item structure. This materially closes part of the 1843 retrieval gap: the project no longer needs to identify the county series, only Shouldham's final item number, after which the map and apportionment can be directly paired with the existing NCC tile L12/R61436/C85456. No Shouldham item number, plot number, owner, occupier, acreage or use is guessed. Exact 1835 Lemmon qualification, exact 20 Nov 2025 Colts Hall TREECA reference, and 16 Dec 1929 predecessor deed remain open. Pass 104's Lemmon Mary/Hannah identity quarantine remains in force.

Research focus: Direct Shouldham tithe retrieval bypass — parish-only search can expose record, map and TNA item
Notes: Added WCT-DIG-0477 / ADA-218. Pass 105 had fixed the Norfolk TNA architecture but left Shouldham's final IR 29/23 and IR 30/23 item number unresolved. Pass 106 verifies from current TheGenealogist guidance that tithe records can be searched by County and Parish alone with no personal name; each result can open the transcript, original apportionment image and parish map, and the map controls expose the piece/sub-piece stated to match the TNA Discovery reference. TNA independently instructs parish searching, and Forebears' live Shouldham page specifically surfaces Tithe Apportionments under Shouldham land/property records. This changes the workflow materially: the final TNA item number no longer has to be discovered first through public indexing; it can be captured from the returned Shouldham tithe result. The actual Colts/Homestall result is still unread, so no plot number, owner, occupier, acreage or cultivation is asserted. No new 1835 poll qualification, 2025 Colts Hall TREECA number or 1929 predecessor deed surfaced. Frozen HARE loops were not reopened.

Research focus: 1794 enclosure quantified — Shouldham + Garboiesthorpe 5,570-acre landscape control; tithe-image route pushed without false plot claims
Notes: Added WCT-DIG-0478 / ADA-219 only. A directly searchable historical enclosure table in Cooke's Norfolk topographical text records 'Shouldham and Garboiesthorpe | 1794 | 5570' under place/year/acres, with the surrounding text attributing the list to Arthur Young. This is a useful quantified landscape-scale control immediately before HARE 6832 (1811) and the 1843 tithe, but is explicitly NOT Colts Farm acreage, Hare-estate acreage, or an allotment/proprietor schedule. The existing 1794-1798 Land Severance Timeline row was refined rather than duplicated. Pass 107 also re-confirmed the official catalogue-only 26 Nov 1611 Rich/Frances -> William Battes deed (HARE 3083/2) but did not count it because earlier project policy explicitly excluded that deed pending a substantive digital copy/transcription. Norfolk's ncc_tithe ArcGIS Export Map operation was pushed as a direct image route, but no actual returned 1843 image was successfully read in the current tool path, so no plot number was invented. Exact 1843 owner/occupier, exact 2025 Colts Hall TREECA reference and the 16 Dec 1929 predecessor deed remain open. Frozen HARE loops were not reopened.

Notes: Added WCT-DIG-0479 / ADA-220. Pass 91 had already established TNA IR 23 as the correct national 1798 Land Tax route, but the exact Shouldham item and actual proprietor/occupier rows remained unread. Pass 108 verifies that Ancestry's 'UK, Land Tax Redemption, 1798' database is imaged directly from TNA IR 23 and lists owners and occupants, while Forebears' live Shouldham page independently indexes Land Tax Redemption (1798-1811) specifically under Shouldham taxation/land-property records. This materially removes another archive-number bottleneck: the 1798 Shouldham owner/occupier test can be searched directly online and used as a predecessor control immediately after the 1794 enclosure and before HARE 6832 (1811). No Hare/Lemmon owner or tenant is inferred because the actual Shouldham rows were not opened/read in this pass. The 1843 tithe owner/occupier, exact 2025 Colts Hall TREECA number and 16 Dec 1929 predecessor deed remain open. A modern address 'Trussbut Lodge, 22 The Green' surfaced next to Colts Hall but is held as a context-only lead pending evidence for the origin/date of the name.

Research focus: Main-cumulative dedupe correction — Notes & Queries 1867→1857; prior Dashwood/Stow-Hare provenance integrated
Notes: Zero new Digital Records. A conversation+Library dedupe sweep confirmed that several recent access routes and leads had already been worked in earlier cumulative or specialist files, including Goldsmiths'-Kress 17267.1/Reel 1619, the basic IR 23/IR 29/IR 30 routes, the 1911 Shouldham 30-acre/16-acre Small Holdings case, the 1985 Pearce 10-acre 'near the hall' mortgage, the Chicago Bacon/Butts collection, John Trussbut PROB 11/3, and the George Henry Dashwood/Stow-Hare muniment provenance. The main workbook itself contained a substantive stale error: WCT-DIG-0058 and dependent Butts rows called the Notes & Queries article '1867 / 3rd Series'. Pass 109 corrects this to Notes & Queries, 2nd Series vol. III, no.56, 24 Jan 1857. The article is signed G.H.D. and the volume index records 'D. (G. H.) on the Butts family, 74.' Prior Court Rolls Pass 10/11 had already identified Rev. George Henry Dashwood as the strong G.H.D. candidate and redirected the provenance from an unexplained generic private collection to the Stow Hall / Hare muniment context. That earlier result is now integrated into the main cumulative record but not recounted. Exact item-level matching of the cited deeds/court rolls to present HARE references remains open.

Rows after pass: 479
New rows this pass: 0
Research focus: Handover closure — Watlington-with-West Dereham film route deduped; NRO shelfmark still unresolved; Hare dispersal qualification integrated
Notes: Zero new Digital Records. The user correctly required a cumulative handover for the in-progress custody/shelfmark investigation. Pass 110 first dedupes the Watlington-with-West Dereham route: FamilySearch catalog 438436 and FHL films 1472612 item 10 + 1702188 item 14 were already solved in Pass 66/67 and are already present in WCT-DIG-0392 / ADA-142, so they are not recounted. A fresh public-index search still did not expose the modern Norfolk Record Office shelfmark or the opening 1540 roll. Pass 110 also integrates the specialist Court Rolls custody work into WCT-DIG-0341: British Library Add MS 46411 is already-proved Stow Hall/Hare dispersal evidence (former pressmark 13 E.1; 'Deed Room Stow Bardolph'; Dashwood exhibited it in 1861; sold by Mrs Charles Howard in 1947). A newly verified supporting custody detail, BL Add Ch 74436, also belonged to Sir Thomas Hare, 2nd Bt., and was presented by Mrs Charles Howard in 1947, but it is a Ramsey Abbey charter and is not counted as a Watlington record. Current conclusion: the main Hare archive is at NRO, but the Stow corpus was partly dispersed; exact Dashwood 1857 court-roll notices still require item-level matching to modern HARE or dispersed shelfmarks.
Pass 111 — 2026-09-03: Pass: 111
Date: 2026-09-03
Rows after pass: 480
New rows this pass: 1
Research focus: New West Dereham 1540-1793 extract-source route — opening-year target separated from known court-roll series
Notes: Added WCT-DIG-0480 only. Pass 111 first hard-dedupes the TNA 2002 accession 'West Dereham manor court: minutes 1792-1856 (ACC 2002/145)': that fact was already present in the Pass 65 workbook log and is not new progress. A genuinely absent FamilySearch-derived West Dereham source listing then surfaced: 'Extracts from manor court rolls and parish registers, 1540-1793'. It is listed separately from 'Manor of Watlington-with-West Dereham. Court (Norfolk) — Manorial court rolls, 1540-1566, 1786-1909'. The exact 1540 start makes the extracts source a new high-value route to the unresolved opening-year identity test, but no identity between the two sources is asserted. The exact FamilySearch catalogue ID, FHL film number, author/compiler, manuscript source and first 1540 extract remain unsurfaced. A separate WeRelate source 'Extracts from manor court rolls and parish registers, 1297-1782' (FHL 890188 item 6) was found only as a similar GSU source-control example and is explicitly NOT merged with the West Dereham item. Modern NRO shelfmark for FamilySearch 438436, actual 1540 opening heading, actual 1542-43 Gawsells court, 1843 tithe owner/occupier, 1798 Land Tax rows, exact 2025 Colts Hall TREECA and 16 Dec 1929 deed remain open. Frozen HARE catalogue loops were not reopened.

Rights evidence & survival analysis (123)

Lordship / manorial title

Historic status: Historic lordship capable of separate existence. PASS 8 separation correction: contemporary directories positively identify Plestow (1845) and Coote (1883) as lords of Gawsells in Watlington; they do not independently prove a Colts title chain.

Current legal category: Incorporeal hereditament; separate from land/rights

Current stance: The lordship itself is accepted for project purposes. That acceptance proves no land, mineral, sporting, market, fishery, fold, rent or other substantive incident.

Evidence: Historic title chain; HMLR PG22 framework

Manorial land / Colts Farm / capital messuage

Historic status: Physical estate historically identifiable

Current legal category: Corporeal land, not automatically a manorial right

Current stance: Historic Colts land is proved as an estate identity; present ownership of any parcel is not proved by ownership of the lordship.

Evidence: HARE 2495; HARE 5466 and other estate evidence

16 shillings rent

Historic status: Direct 1506 rent remains proved. Earlier generic Watlyngton rent/court records may expose its origin or structure, but their contents and exact Colts identity are unread.

Current legal category: Exact type unresolved

Current stance: No present enforceable Colts rent is proved.

Evidence: 1506 CP 25/1/170/197 no.106; HARE 4058 (1411-1412) and F(M) roll 160 (1452-1453) are newly identified earlier rent/court tests, not yet matched to the 1506 rent

One free fold

Historic status: Historic fold/fold-liberty case materially strengthened: 1506 direct Watlyngton free fold plus 1597 bundled-title fold liberty. Exact exclusivity to Colts still requires original deed allocation.

Current legal category: Historic fold/foldcourse custom or proprietary interest; not one of the narrow Schedule-12 manorial-right categories expressly listed by HMLR PG66. Any modern survival requires proof of a separate proprietary/easement/profit/land route.

Current stance: The historic right is proved; survival of the same right is not. No substitute Colts allotment or modern property right has been identified.

Evidence: 1506 CP25/1/170/197 no.106 records one free fold in Watlyngton; PASS 13 adds HARE 2403 (20 Oct 1597), a title exemplification for a package expressly including Watlyngton/Watlyngton Coltes and a liberty of a fold in Watlyngton and other places.

Advowson of St Peter / Watlington patronage

Historic status: Directly appurtenant in 1506; later patronage separately identifiable

Current legal category: Separate ecclesiastical patronage right governed by church-law registration/transfer regime; not a saleable modern manorial appurtenance.

Current stance: It is not a current incident passing on a sale of the Colts lordship.

Evidence: 1506 CP 25/1/170/197 no.106

Court baron / customary court

Historic status: A five-record Watlington court/custom/rent sequence is now identified across two archives. Every item remains identity-unresolved for Colts because the MDR uses an undifferentiated Watlington Manor creator name.

Current legal category: Historic jurisdiction/evidentiary institution; copyhold abolition ended the last meaningful land-tenure function of manorial courts.

Current stance: No present exercisable feudal or customary jurisdiction is proved.

Evidence: Official MDR Watlington series: HARE 4056 custumal (14th c.); HARE 4058 rent account (1411-1412); F(M) roll 160 court roll (1452-1453); HARE 2454 court book (1554-1558); BL/MA 34 draft court book (1746-1767)

Heriots / customary fines / reliefs / fealty / suit / copyhold admissions

Historic status: Exact local incidents are now testable across a dated Watlington record set, but none may be assumed merely because such incidents were typical of manorial courts.

Current legal category: Extinguished/compensated manorial incidents if they existed

Current stance: Historic only; no current Colts privilege or charge.

Evidence: Potential evidence in HARE 4056, F(M) roll 160, HARE 2454 and BL/MA 34; no incident yet transcribed or identified as Colts

Mines / minerals

Historic status: Possible historic manorial category

Current legal category: Legally capable of survival

Current stance: No Colts-specific mineral title, reservation, burdened parcel, present benefit chain or priority position is proved.

Evidence: No direct Colts reservation yet

Limestone / lime / clay / stone / gravel

Historic status: Possible manorial category

Current legal category: Legally capable of survival

Current stance: No present Colts ownership or right to work these substances is proved.

Evidence: No direct Colts reservation yet

Pits / quarries

Historic status: Possible manorial category

Current legal category: Legally capable of survival

Current stance: No present Colts pit or quarry right is proved.

Evidence: No direct Colts reservation yet

Mineral entry / search / working rights

Historic status: Possible ancillary rights

Current legal category: Legally capable of survival if underlying mineral right/custom survives

Current stance: Neither the underlying Colts mineral right nor associated entry/search/working powers are proved.

Evidence: No direct Colts reservation yet

Sporting / hunting / shooting / fowling

Historic status: Post-1926 substantive estate sporting right positively evidenced

Current legal category: Legally capable of survival

Current stance: A sporting right survives somewhere in the wider estate evidence, but present Colts ownership is not proved and must not be claimed.

Evidence: Official Forestry England plan: 1943 Hare Estate 999-year lease context, sporting rights retained and exercised in Shouldham Sincks PASS 24: Norfolk Chronicle 9 Nov 1782 transcription records game on several manors belonging to Mrs Moore and Lady Harris in parishes including Shouldham and Shouldham Thorpe, with sporting requiring leave and trespassers threatened with prosecution.

Warren / chase

Historic status: Free warren is historically verified in Watlington at the superior Bardolf/Wormegay level; no Trussbut/Colts subgrant or descent is yet proved.

Current legal category: Legally capable of survival

Current stance: Warren survival is strongly evidenced outside the specific Colts title; a present Colts warren/chase right is not proved.

Evidence: PASS 12 upgrade: calendar-derived 19 July 1254 royal charter grants William Bardolf and heirs free warren in demesne lands expressly including Watlington; 1441 Phelipp IPM also records warrens in the superior Wormegay franchise bundle.

Piscary / fishing

Historic status: Historic Baynard/Shouldham fishery resource proved; historic Watlington-Colts piscary not proved

Current legal category: Legally capable of survival

Current stance: The legal class can survive, but no current Colts piscary is proved.

Evidence: PASS 10 correction: fishery is directly recorded in Ralph Baynard's separate Shouldham Domesday entry; the 2025 catalogue's attribution of it to a £2 'Watlington Colts' manor is not supported as one Domesday entry.

Notes: Do not cite the 2025 catalogue's combined £2 + fishery wording as direct Colts evidence.

Watlington market franchise

Historic status: Historic Watlington market evidenced

Current legal category: Potential relating franchise

Current stance: No Crown grant, prescription, Colts attribution, devolution or present exercisability is proved.

Evidence: Gazetteer: prescriptive market noted 1252

Notes: Not a proved 1252 charter grant. A generic Watlington court reference could show local exercise but would not itself prove ownership by Colts or present survival. PASS 21 adds an exclusion lesson from the Priory: VCH records a 1248 Henry III market/fair grant to the Prior of Shouldham located at Stoke Ferry. Institutional holder name therefore cannot be used to infer franchise locality. No analogous Colts market grant is proved.

Shouldham market / fairs

Historic status: Historic separate Shouldham stream

Current legal category: Potential franchise

Current stance: It is not a proved Colts franchise.

Evidence: Prescriptive market by 1334 + later fairs

Tolls / stallage

Historic status: Historic separate manor rights lead

Current legal category: Separate stream

Current stance: No present Colts toll or stallage right is proved.

Evidence: HARE 2719 abstract, 1587, Shouldham Priory manor

Notes: Common Gawdy/Rich/Hare ownership is insufficient to merge rights.

Two fold liberties

Historic status: Historic separate Shouldham Priory-manor rights

Current legal category: Separate stream

Current stance: They must not be treated as Colts rights.

Evidence: HARE 2719 abstract, 1587

Notes: Remain distinct from the ONE FREE FOLD expressly conveyed with Watlyngton in 1506. PASS 23 found no Norfolk 1749 full award/map; same-right survival remains unproved and substitute allotment/property remains the relevant route. PASS 25 territorial correction: after enclosure, search substitute allotments by parcel/estate succession through the Plestow/Hare split, not only by manor label.

Commons / wastes / common rights

Historic status: Historic commons/waste definitively subject to enclosure legislation

Current legal category: Post-enclosure land/right outcome depends on award

Current stance: No old common right is proved to remain with the lordship; no substitute Colts allotment has been identified.

Evidence: 1749 Watlington Inclosure Act; surviving award extract NRO MS 7245, 7B4 (Elizabeth Roberts allotment)

Notes: Do not say the full award has been found and do not transfer an enclosure-era Gawsells court outcome to Colts without the operative award or an express consolidation. PASS 21: no new Colts allotment found. Continue searching for substituted land/property under 1749/1794-98 enclosure rather than assuming old common rights survived unchanged. PASS 23 found no Norfolk 1749 full award/map; same-right survival remains unproved and substitute allotment/property remains the relevant route. PASS 25 territorial correction: after enclosure, search substitute allotments by parcel/estate succession through the Plestow/Hare split, not only by manor label.

Roads / ways / dykes / drains / protective works

Historic status: Potential historic rights/liabilities

Current legal category: Legally capable in certain forms

Current stance: No Colts-specific surviving benefit, liability, custom or affected parcel is proved.

Evidence: Enclosure regimes + Schedule 12 legal category PASS 23 enclosure-transcription additions: Rogers Corner, Fedderston Green, Galow Lane/Woodfield, and an expressly described road from Shouldham to Watlington.

Notes: Fenland geography and record type justify investigation but are not evidence of a right, liability or Colts ownership. Map the new 1796 route/place names against the full enclosure award/map, HARE 2495, HARE 6832, tithe parcels and later estate plans. PASS 24: NRO HARE 5185 231x2 is now a precise 1818 post-enclosure whole-estate map target for roads, water, land-use and ownership colours in Shouldham/Shouldham Thorpe. PASS 25: de-combination means road/drain obligations or benefits should be mapped against the land retained/sold at 1779-82 and 1869, especially using HARE 5185 and sale particulars.

Timber

Historic status: Historic estate category possible

Current legal category: No automatic manorial title right

Current stance: No Colts-specific manorial timber right or reservation is proved.

Evidence: 1798 Shouldham timber licence is separate; no direct Colts timber reservation

Notes: PASS 13: current significance would require ordinary land/property ownership or an express reservation; no automatic current manorial privilege follows from historic evidence. PASS 26: because Forestry territory expanded after 1943, any timber reservation must be tied to specific lease/addition plans rather than the later forest boundary as a whole.

Village green control

Historic status: Not inherent from lordship alone

Current legal category: Not automatic manorial right

Current stance: No present Colts right of control is proved.

Evidence: No direct evidence

Modern access / wayleaves in Shouldham woodland estate

Historic status: Modern estate/leasehold access and wayleave context, not established as medieval/manorial rights

Current legal category: Ordinary easement/licence/wayleave/land-management rights unless contrary title evidence proves a manorial origin

Current stance: Do not present them as Colts manorial rights.

Evidence: Forestry England Shouldham/Bilney Forest Plan; 2021 Shouldham Sincks access notice

Notes: Included to prevent modern estate access arrangements being accidentally described as surviving manorial privileges.

Mill / milling interest

Historic status: Historic Baynard/Shouldham economic resource proved; no direct Watlington-Colts mill right proved

Current legal category: A mill may be ordinary land/property or carry associated easements/profits; Domesday presence alone does not create a present manorial franchise.

Current stance: No current Colts milling right is proved.

Evidence: Ralph Baynard's Shouldham [All Saints and St Margaret]/other Shouldham Domesday entry: 0.8 mills

Salthouse / salt-working profit

Historic status: Historic Baynard/Shouldham economic resource proved; not mentioned in the 2025 Watlington-Colts catalogue paragraph

Current legal category: Historic land/economic resource; no automatic surviving manorial privilege follows from Domesday description

Current stance: No Colts salt-working profit is proved.

Evidence: Ralph Baynard's Shouldham Domesday entry records 1 salthouse

Castleward / castle-guard rent

Historic status: VERIFIED historic feudal burden on specified Watlington/Wormegay knight's-fee holdings; exact later Trussbut/Colts predecessor not identified.

Current legal category: Historic charge tied to medieval knight-service tenure; Tenures Abolition Act 1660 is the relevant abolition/conversion framework.

Current stance: No current Colts liability is established.

Evidence: 1329 Thomas Bardolf IPM/calendar material: Wormegay foreign tenants paid 2s 2d per full knight's fee at the end of every 24 weeks, called Castelwarde; multiple Watlington fee holdings expressly rendered it.

Notes: Do not turn a superior feudal burden into a present manorial privilege.

Waytefee / watch-fee

Historic status: VERIFIED historic feudal burden on specified Watlington/Wormegay knight's-fee holdings; exact later Trussbut/Colts predecessor not identified.

Current legal category: Historic charge tied to medieval knight-service tenure; Tenures Abolition Act 1660 is the relevant abolition/conversion framework.

Current stance: No current Colts liability is established.

Evidence: 1329 Thomas Bardolf IPM/calendar material: Wormegay foreign tenants rendered 12d yearly per full knight's fee, called Waytefee; multiple Watlington fee holdings expressly rendered it.

Notes: Track as a historic burden, not as a modern beneficial right.

Superior honour franchises — waifs / strays / soc / toll / team / infangthief

Historic status: VERIFIED at superior Wormegay honour level; not verified as franchises of the subordinate Trussbut/Colts manor.

Current legal category: Historic honour/franchise categories; no present Colts entitlement is evidenced by the superior grant alone.

Current stance: No present Colts claim is proved; superior-honour wording must not be imported into Colts.

Evidence: 1441 William Phelipp IPM, E-CIPM 25-481: honour/manor of Wormegay held with escheats, waifs, strays, soc, toll, team (thema), infangthief and other franchises.

Notes: Grouped here to preserve the full 1441 franchise lead without inflating the Colts rights bundle.

Law of Property Act 1922 — framework

Historic status: 1922; reform operative 1 Jan 1926 · Generic lord of manor / rights-holder

Current legal category: Mines/minerals and working/access rights; fairs/markets; chase/warren; piscary; hunting/shooting/fishing/fowling/game; tenant common rights; certain maintenance liabilities

Shouldham Poors' Land and Fuel Allotment / peat-turf

Historic status: 1794 award; documented 1845; described in 1836 village context · Beneficiaries: poor persons of parish of Shouldham

Current legal category: A beneficiary-specific right/allotment distinct from a lord's proprietary mineral or sporting interest; later legal status still deed/charity-scheme dependent

Current stance:

Evidence: Charity Commission identifies governing document as 1794 Inclosure Award (P.R. 29.(1) p.520); White 1845 says Shouldham Fuel Allotment was 95A and awarded at enclosure; council history notes peat cutting in 1836 context.

Lordship / manorial title

Current legal category: Incorporeal hereditament; separate from land/rights

Current stance:

Evidence: Historic title chain; HMLR PG22 framework

Notes: Do not convert the generic NRO Watlington Manor authority record or the Gawsells directory entries into a Colts conveyance. Absence of the word Colts in a directory is not proof that the same person owned no second manor. Search the operative Colt assurance under George Colt/Colte/Coult of Cavendish, esquire, son/heir of Henry Colt; do not assume 'Sir George Colt, son of George'. PASS 10 requires the early Baynard/Shouldham estate to be bridged into the later Trussbutts/Colts stream before its Domesday resources are attributed to the manor. PASS 12: this dual-fee structure is a core identity-control rule for the whole rights reconstruction.
right_or_incident: Lordship / manorial title
earliest_direct_or_best_evidence: Historic title chain; HMLR PG22 framework
historic_status: Historic lordship capable of separate existence. PASS 8 separation correction: contemporary directories positively identify Plestow (1845) and Coote (1883) as lords of Gawsells in Watlington; they do not independently prove a Colts title chain.
key_change_or_survival_event: LRA 2002 framework remains relevant. PASS 8: the official MDR exposes a generic Watlington Manor record-creator series, but its undifferentiated metadata cannot merge Colts with the Davis/Plestow/Tottenhill stream. Plestow/Coote Colts ownership still requires an express conveyance or contemporaneous inventory. PASS 9: official Essex Archives D/P 214/25/11 corrects the later Colt generation: George Colt of Cavendish was son/heir of Henry Colt, son/heir of the elder Sir George Colt; the 2025 narrative's seller generation is therefore compressed/mistaken. PASS 10: the 2025 catalogue's alleged Domesday Watlington-Colts bundle is source-conflated; Open Domesday shows the £2 Baynard holding at Shouldham Thorpe and the mill/fishery/church package in a different Baynard Shouldham entry. PASS 12: 1403 Laurence Trussebute is recorded on both the main multi-place Watlington fee and a separate Watlington quarter-fee; by 1427 Thomas Trusbut holds the main fee while Robert Kervyle holds the quarter-fee. Generic Trussbut+Watlington evidence must therefore be stream-tested. PASS 13: supplied legal chronology places Humphreys -> Robert Holmes Edleston conveyance on 12 Feb 1930. LPA 1925 s.62(3) potentially carries then-existing appurtenant/reputed appurtenant manor rights unless contrary intention expressed. Subsequent supplied chain runs through estate administration and 1977 assents, Richard John Hanby Holmes, 2017 probate, Olivia Mary Holmes and the current Watlington-West endpoint. PASS 14: TNA HMC 5/6-8 identified as official 1920s government-derived lists of manors and title owners, a new pre-1930 corroboration target. HMLR current search route clarified: SIF searches registered manors/relating franchises; SIM does not. PASS 15: private 1930 deed and 1977 assents replace earlier public-search gaps. 1930 deed expressly conveys the named manors as far as subsisting with rights, royalties, members and appurtenances.
current_legal_category: Incorporeal hereditament; separate from land/rights
current_factual_status_for_watlington_colts: Modern lordship chain is treated as sufficient for present-benefit transmission. PASS 16 removes the current executed transfer as a rights-survival bottleneck: the question is which Colts/Trussbutts rights were still subsisting by 1930.
connection_to_colts: Core Colts title stream; Gawsells/Davis/Plestow/Coote stream must remain separate unless expressly joined
present_claim_assessment: CURRENT LORDSHIP CHAIN ACCEPTED FOR PROJECT PURPOSES; RIGHTS ANALYSIS NOW ENTIRELY PRE-1930 SURVIVAL
next_decisive_document: 1749 Watlington award; 1798 Shouldham award; Colts-specific court/copyhold/enfranchisement records; c.1900 severance files
notes: Do not convert the generic NRO Watlington Manor authority record or the Gawsells directory entries into a Colts conveyance. Absence of the word Colts in a directory is not proof that the same person owned no second manor. Search the operative Colt assurance under George Colt/Colte/Coult of Cavendish, esquire, son/heir of Henry Colt; do not assume 'Sir George Colt, son of George'. PASS 10 requires the early Baynard/Shouldham estate to be bridged into the later Trussbutts/Colts stream before its Domesday resources are attributed to the manor.

Manorial land / Colts Farm / capital messuage

Historic status: Physical estate historically identifiable

Current legal category: Corporeal land, not automatically a manorial right

Current stance:

Evidence: HARE 2495; HARE 5466 and other estate evidence

Notes: A person can own parish land, a hall and one named manor without that evidence proving title to every other local manor. Inspect all of HARE 2826, not merely mapped fols 16v/34v: scholarship says the maps cover only a tiny part of the written draft survey.
right_or_incident: Manorial land / Colts Farm / capital messuage
earliest_direct_or_best_evidence: HARE 2495; HARE 5466 and other estate evidence
historic_status: Physical estate historically identifiable
key_change_or_survival_event: Land may be severed from lordship. PASS 8: White's 1845 directory says Plestow owned most parish land and Watlington Hall while separately calling him lord of Gawsells. Estate ownership therefore does not itself prove ownership of Colts or its incorporeal rights. PASS 10: Historic England's HARE 2495 summary remains strong evidence that Colt's/Trussbutt's was a separately identifiable physical estate in 1633 with tenements, alder carr, Appletons and tenant occupation. PASS 11: NRO HARE 2826 is now identified as a Shouldham field book/draft survey of 1440-41 with diagrammatic field-strip maps at fols 16v and 34v. The producing manor is not yet identified. PASS 13: physical manorial land is legally distinct from the lordship and from incorporeal manorial rights. c.1900 HARE 6956/HARE 6374-5 exchanges are a key pre-1926 severance gate. PASS 14: physical land/parcel side must be searched through SIM/index-map and current/historic registers, separately from SIF manor/franchise search.
current_legal_category: Corporeal land, not automatically a manorial right
current_factual_status_for_watlington_colts: Late physical Colts identity is now exceptionally useful for exclusion as well as inclusion: White 1845 separately lists a Colts Hall farmer, Abbey Farm farmer and warrener; HARE 5466 post-1874 separately names Colts Farm and Shouldham Abbey Farm. Full HARE 5466 is now the key source for allocating minerals, sporting, timber and other estate rights to the correct unit.
connection_to_colts: Historic Colts estate connection strong; later Hall/Gawsells ownership is not automatic Colts proof
present_claim_assessment: LATE COLTS PHYSICAL ESTATE STRONGLY IDENTIFIABLE AND OPERATIONALLY SEPARATE FROM ABBEY/WARREN UNITS; USE AS PRIMARY PARCEL-ALLOCATION CONTROL
next_decisive_document: Complete HARE 5466 schedule/tenancy package; full Shouldham award/map; HARE 6832; tithe apportionment; HARE 6374/6375 and HARE 6956 exchange plans
notes: A person can own parish land, a hall and one named manor without that evidence proving title to every other local manor. Inspect all of HARE 2826, not merely mapped fols 16v/34v: scholarship says the maps cover only a tiny part of the written draft survey.

16 shillings rent

Historic status: Direct 1506 rent remains proved. Earlier generic Watlyngton rent/court records may expose its origin or structure, but their contents and exact Colts identity are unread.

Current legal category: Exact type unresolved

Current stance:

Evidence: 1506 CP 25/1/170/197 no.106; HARE 4058 (1411-1412) and F(M) roll 160 (1452-1453) are newly identified earlier rent/court tests, not yet matched to the 1506 rent

Notes: Do not call the rent extinguished until its type and chain are established; do not treat any generic Watlington rent account as Colts without internal identification. PASS 11: HARE 2826 may provide earlier survey/rent context, but no rent text has been read from the original. Do not equate Parlettes with the 1506 rent without an instrument or parcel/title bridge. PASS 66: the Kervile wills strengthen the competing-rent control but do not identify Parlettes with the capital messuage or with Wyatt's 16s rent.
right_or_incident: 16 shillings rent
earliest_direct_or_best_evidence: 1506 CP 25/1/170/197 no.106; HARE 4058 (1411-1412) and F(M) roll 160 (1452-1453) are newly identified earlier rent/court tests, not yet matched to the 1506 rent
historic_status: Direct 1506 rent remains proved. Earlier generic Watlyngton rent/court records may expose its origin or structure, but their contents and exact Colts identity are unread.
key_change_or_survival_event: LPA 1922 s.140 remains relevant if the 16s was a quit/chief/free rent or other manorial incident. PASS 8 downgrades HARE 2454 from a preferred Colts source and adds HARE 4058 plus F(M) roll 160 as earlier identity-controlled tests. PASS 10: same 1506 predecessor-title problem as the free fold; Pynkeney/Elizabeth -> Wyatt/Pegge must be bridged to the Trussbutts/Colts stream. PASS 12: PCC PROB 11/19/108 transcription records a separate 'Rent in Watlyngton called Parlettes' given in 1518 to Thomas Karvyle the younger. This strengthens the need to distinguish the 1506 16s rent from Kervile and other Watlington rent streams. PASS 13: if a valid rent still appertained to the manor on 12 Feb 1930, LPA 1925 s.62(3) is potentially relevant; however earlier statutory extinguishment, redemption, merger or severance must first be excluded. PASS 66: direct Kervile probate-derived evidence now shows a separate early-Tudor Watlington estate carrying rents and services; Thomas Kervile elder's 1522/1535 will also bundles rents/reversions/suits/services with his capital messuage. This reinforces the need to keep Kervile rents, including Parlettes, separate from the Wyatt 1506 16s rent unless an instrument bridges them.
current_legal_category: Exact type unresolved
current_factual_status_for_watlington_colts: Historic 1506 rent is direct for that Watlyngton transaction but its Colts identity and legal character remain uncertain. If it was a manorial quit/customary rent, the 1922 extinguishment/compensation regime is adverse to survival; no evidence currently shows an independent rentcharge surviving to 1930.
connection_to_colts: Direct in working 1506 manor bundle
present_claim_assessment: WEAK CURRENT CANDIDATE — LEGAL CHARACTER AND LATER CONTINUATION UNPROVED; ORDINARY MANORIAL RENT WOULD NOT SURVIVE AS CURRENT PRIVILEGE
next_decisive_document: Pre-1506 Pynkeney/Elizabeth title; HARE 2826 if it proves the relevant manor; HARE 4058 1411-12 rent account; Henry Wyatt 1537 IPM/will; later rentals/conveyances
notes: Do not call the rent extinguished until its type and chain are established; do not treat any generic Watlington rent account as Colts without internal identification. PASS 11: HARE 2826 may provide earlier survey/rent context, but no rent text has been read from the original. Do not equate Parlettes with the 1506 rent without an instrument or parcel/title bridge. PASS 66: the Kervile wills strengthen the competing-rent control but do not identify Parlettes with the capital messuage or with Wyatt's 16s rent.

One free fold

Current stance:

Notes: The custumal is the right document type to explain fold obligations, but its title is uncertain and top illegible. BL/MA 34 must be treated as a Gawsells/Tottenhill comparator unless Colts is expressly named. Do not infer a fold from field-strip mapping alone. PASS 66: Kervile foldcourse evidence does not extinguish or disprove the separate 1506 Wyatt free fold or the 1597 Colts fold liberty; it makes title-stream allocation more important.
right_or_incident: One free fold
earliest_direct_or_best_evidence: 1506 CP25/1/170/197 no.106 records one free fold in Watlyngton; PASS 13 adds HARE 2403 (20 Oct 1597), a title exemplification for a package expressly including Watlyngton/Watlyngton Coltes and a liberty of a fold in Watlyngton and other places.
historic_status: Historic fold/fold-liberty case materially strengthened: 1506 direct Watlyngton free fold plus 1597 bundled-title fold liberty. Exact exclusivity to Colts still requires original deed allocation.
key_change_or_survival_event: 1749 enclosure is still the likely transformation point; 1926 copyhold abolition followed. PASS 8 adds HARE 4056 (uncertain 14th-century custumal), F(M) roll 160 and BL/MA 34 as custom/court tests, but none is internally identified as Colts. PASS 10: the 1506 fine expressly says the manor/free fold/advowson were acknowledged by Robert Pynkeney and Elizabeth as property Henry Wyatt, Richard Wyatt and Reynold Pegge had of their gift, with quitclaim from themselves and Elizabeth's heirs. PASS 11: HARE 2826 adds a 1440-41 Shouldham field-system source, but no fold/foldage wording from the original has been recovered. PASS 13: HARE 2402 expressly anchors Watlington Coltes/Trusbuttes in the 1597 operative title; HARE 2403 follows with fold-liberty wording. Modern survival remains blocked by 1749 enclosure, pre-1926 estate dealings and the absence of the 1930 conveyance wording. PASS 15: 1930 deed expressly conveys then-subsisting rights/royalties/members/appurtenances with Watlington Colts otherwise Trusbutts. PASS 66: Thomas Kervile elder's will dated 31 Jan 1522 (proved 1535) directly gives the liberties of a foldcourse-and-a-half in Watlington with his capital-messuage estate. This proves that fold/foldcourse language occurred in a competing Kervile stream and cannot by itself identify the 1506 free fold as Colts/Trussbutts.
current_legal_category: Historic fold/foldcourse custom or proprietary interest; not one of the narrow Schedule-12 manorial-right categories expressly listed by HMLR PG66. Any modern survival requires proof of a separate proprietary/easement/profit/land route.
current_factual_status_for_watlington_colts: Historic Colts fold/fold-liberty remains one of the strongest specifically associated rights. PASS 19 adds no evidence of same-right survival and reinforces the need to distinguish Colts claims from Abbey Common/other parish rights in the enclosure award.
connection_to_colts: Direct in working 1506 manor bundle
present_claim_assessment: HISTORIC COLTS FOLD RIGHT STRONG; NO PASS 18 EVIDENCE RESCUES SAME-RIGHT SURVIVAL — ENCLOSURE SUBSTITUTE REMAINS THE ONLY SERIOUS MODERN ROUTE
next_decisive_document: Full 1749 Watlington award/map; full 1798 Shouldham/Thorpe award/map; HARE 2403 original; parcel matching
notes: The custumal is the right document type to explain fold obligations, but its title is uncertain and top illegible. BL/MA 34 must be treated as a Gawsells/Tottenhill comparator unless Colts is expressly named. Do not infer a fold from field-strip mapping alone. PASS 66: Kervile foldcourse evidence does not extinguish or disprove the separate 1506 Wyatt free fold or the 1597 Colts fold liberty; it makes title-stream allocation more important.

Advowson of St Peter / Watlington patronage

Historic status: Directly appurtenant in 1506; later patronage separately identifiable

Current legal category: Separate ecclesiastical patronage right governed by church-law registration/transfer regime; not a saleable modern manorial appurtenance.

Current stance:

Evidence: 1506 CP 25/1/170/197 no.106

Notes: Strongest resolved modern legal effect. The c.1930 inventory is catalogue-only and unread. PASS 9 narrows a nineteenth-century severance/transfer window: Plestow patron in 1845; Barker patron by 1870-72; Coote lord of Gawsells while Barker patron in 1883. PASS 11 found no new Pynkeney/Elizabeth or Henry Wyatt document bridging the 1506 advowson into the Colts stream. PASS 12: superior Wormegay held generic advowsons in 1441, but this does not bridge the specific 1506 St Peter advowson into Colts.
right_or_incident: Advowson of St Peter / Watlington patronage
earliest_direct_or_best_evidence: 1506 CP 25/1/170/197 no.106
historic_status: Directly appurtenant in 1506; later patronage separately identifiable
key_change_or_survival_event: Patronage (Benefices) Measure 1986 s.32 severed any advowson then appendant to manor/land; s.3 bars sale for value PASS 9: White 1845 places the Watlington rectory in C.B. Plestow's gift while naming him lord of Gawsells; the 1870-72 Imperial Gazetteer names G. Barker as patron; White 1883 names Coote lord of Gawsells but Gilbert Barker patron. Thus patronage was separately owned from the named Gawsells lordship by this period. PASS 10: the 1506 fine's 'of their gift' wording and quitclaim from Elizabeth's heirs makes the Pynkeney/Elizabeth predecessor title a necessary identity test before the 1506 advowson is treated as continuous Colts evidence. PASS 13: Patronage (Benefices) Measure 1986 s.3 provides that a right of patronage cannot be sold and a transfer for valuable consideration is void.
current_legal_category: Separate ecclesiastical patronage right governed by church-law registration/transfer regime; not a saleable modern manorial appurtenance.
current_factual_status_for_watlington_colts: Private 1930 conveyance broadly transferred then-subsisting rights/appurtenances, but nineteenth-century evidence already shows Watlington patronage separately owned from the named manor stream, and current patronage is governed by separate ecclesiastical law. No present advowson passes merely with Watlington-West.
connection_to_colts: Direct in 1506 working Watlyngton bundle; later identity/devolution unproved. PASS 9 demonstrates that nineteenth-century Watlington patronage did not automatically accompany the named Gawsells lordship.
present_claim_assessment: HISTORIC ADVOWSON PROVED; SEPARATE PATRONAGE STREAM; NOT A CURRENT MANOR-SALE RIGHT
next_decisive_document: Diocesan patronage register/current registered patron; historic Plestow->Barker transfer; intermediate presentation deeds
notes: Strongest resolved modern legal effect. The c.1930 inventory is catalogue-only and unread. PASS 9 narrows a nineteenth-century severance/transfer window: Plestow patron in 1845; Barker patron by 1870-72; Coote lord of Gawsells while Barker patron in 1883. PASS 11 found no new Pynkeney/Elizabeth or Henry Wyatt document bridging the 1506 advowson into the Colts stream. PASS 12: superior Wormegay held generic advowsons in 1441, but this does not bridge the specific 1506 St Peter advowson into Colts.

Court baron / customary court

Current legal category: Historic jurisdiction/evidentiary institution; copyhold abolition ended the last meaningful land-tenure function of manorial courts.

Current stance:

Notes: HMLR requires custom of the particular manor. Generic creator metadata cannot merge multiple Watlington streams. PASS 10 rejected a tempting 1381-1930 court-roll series on the sale catalogue because page-boundary checking showed it belongs to Wivenhoe, not Watlington Colts. Do not import customs from 'Dersingham Shouldham' merely because the record title contains Shouldham.
right_or_incident: Court baron / customary court
earliest_direct_or_best_evidence: Official MDR Watlington series: HARE 4056 custumal (14th c.); HARE 4058 rent account (1411-1412); F(M) roll 160 court roll (1452-1453); HARE 2454 court book (1554-1558); BL/MA 34 draft court book (1746-1767)
historic_status: A five-record Watlington court/custom/rent sequence is now identified across two archives. Every item remains identity-unresolved for Colts because the MDR uses an undifferentiated Watlington Manor creator name.
key_change_or_survival_event: PASS 8 correction: HARE 2454 is no longer the strongest Colts candidate by chronology alone. F(M) roll 160 is the highest transition-era inspection priority, while BL/MA 34 is an enclosure-era comparator in a Davis/Tottenhill context likely associated with Gawsells. PASS 11: exact NRO refs WAL 1058, 285x2 (Dersingham Shouldham court rolls 1495-1509) and PD 603/197 (Dersingham Shouldham rental 1499/1500) are recorded as a separate comparator stream, not Colts. PASS 12: historic Public Records inventory expressly lists 'Watlington, manor. Roll of court baron and customary court, anno 14 Hen. VI' (1435-36). The current shelfmark and specific lord/manor stream are not yet identified.
current_legal_category: Historic jurisdiction/evidentiary institution; copyhold abolition ended the last meaningful land-tenure function of manorial courts.
current_factual_status_for_watlington_colts: An actual Watlington court baron/customary court roll of 1435-36 is verified in the historic inventory, but it cannot yet be assigned to Colts/Trussbutts. If the original heading identifies the Trussbut manor, it could become direct evidence of its customs and incidents.
connection_to_colts: RECORD SET STRONG; PARTICULAR-MANOR IDENTITY UNPROVED
present_claim_assessment: HISTORIC COURT/CUSTOM EVIDENCE TARGET; NOT A PRESENT EXERCISABLE FEUDAL JURISDICTION
next_decisive_document: Recover modern shelfmark and full 1435-36 Watlington court roll; identify lord/steward/manor and extract all customs, admissions, fines, rents, heriots, fold/common and court incidents
notes: HMLR requires custom of the particular manor. Generic creator metadata cannot merge multiple Watlington streams. PASS 10 rejected a tempting 1381-1930 court-roll series on the sale catalogue because page-boundary checking showed it belongs to Wivenhoe, not Watlington Colts. Do not import customs from 'Dersingham Shouldham' merely because the record title contains Shouldham.

Heriots / customary fines / reliefs / fealty / suit / copyhold admissions

Historic status: Exact local incidents are now testable across a dated Watlington record set, but none may be assumed merely because such incidents were typical of manorial courts.

Current legal category: Extinguished/compensated manorial incidents if they existed

Current stance:

Evidence: Potential evidence in HARE 4056, F(M) roll 160, HARE 2454 and BL/MA 34; no incident yet transcribed or identified as Colts

Notes: BL/MA 34 may demonstrate Gawsells/Davis/Plestow court practice and must not be imported into Colts without an express joining instrument. PASS 11: WAL 1058 / PD 603/197 are preserved only as a separate Dersingham Shouldham comparator; no incident from them is attributed to Colts.
right_or_incident: Heriots / customary fines / reliefs / fealty / suit / copyhold admissions
earliest_direct_or_best_evidence: Potential evidence in HARE 4056, F(M) roll 160, HARE 2454 and BL/MA 34; no incident yet transcribed or identified as Colts
historic_status: Exact local incidents are now testable across a dated Watlington record set, but none may be assumed merely because such incidents were typical of manorial courts.
key_change_or_survival_event: LPA 1922 compulsory enfranchisement and s.140 extinguishment regime remains decisive for incidents that existed. PASS 8 adds earlier and enclosure-era evidence targets while increasing the particular-manor identity caution. PASS 13 current-period focus: ordinary copyhold/manorial incidents fall on the extinguishment/compensation side of the 1922-1926 reforms; any surviving compensation claim would need its own documentary chain.
current_legal_category: Extinguished/compensated manorial incidents if they existed
current_factual_status_for_watlington_colts: Not treated as present privileges; historic Colts incidence remains unproved until an internally identified Colts record is read.
connection_to_colts: Generic Watlington evidentiary targets; exact Colts identity awaits inspection
present_claim_assessment: EXTINGUISHED / HISTORIC ONLY — NOT A CURRENT WATLINGTON-WEST PRIVILEGE
next_decisive_document: F(M) roll 160; HARE 4056; HARE 2454; BL/MA 34; MAF 13/27

Mines / minerals

Historic status: Possible historic manorial category

Current legal category: Legally capable of survival

Current stance:

Evidence: No direct Colts reservation yet

Notes: The MDR record set proves archival survival only. Do not claim minerals from a custumal/court-book catalogue entry, and do not import a Gawsells custom into Colts. PASS 11 recovered no new direct Colts mineral/quarry reservation. Geological resource/planning potential is not a title source. Still require manor custom/reservation, 1930 deed, modern burdened parcels and HMLR priority.
right_or_incident: Mines / minerals
earliest_direct_or_best_evidence: No direct Colts reservation yet
historic_status: Possible historic manorial category
key_change_or_survival_event: Schedule 12 preserved category; PG65 says survival depends on manor custom/enfranchisement and later dealings PASS 13: expressly within the narrow manorial-right categories preserved through enfranchisement and recognised by HMLR PG66. If still appurtenant in 1930, LPA 1925 s.62(3) could potentially carry the benefit unless excluded; 2013 priority must then be checked parcel-by-parcel. PASS 14: official Norfolk planning material confirms significant silica-sand geology in the wider Shouldham/Marham/Tottenhill/Stow landscape, increasing practical value of the mineral-title question without proving ownership. PASS 17: nearby Tottenhill enclosure evidence shows local awards could expressly provide sand/gravel pits, while modern Watlington/Shouldham planning confirms substantial mineral resources. These are methodological/value evidence only, not Colts title. PASS 18: official local history records a nine-acre Shouldham digging ground feeding a lime kiln; BGS records an old sand pit at Shouldham Warren. These prove extraction/resource presence but not Colts ownership.
current_legal_category: Legally capable of survival
current_factual_status_for_watlington_colts: Legally capable of survival and real Shouldham extraction/resource evidence exists. PASS 19 cautions that the strongest identified pit/Warren/Abbey evidence is geographically and operationally outside the known Colts Hall core, while HARE 5466 separately names Colts Farm and Shouldham Abbey Farm.

Current stance:

Evidence: Official Forestry England plan: 1943 Hare Estate 999-year lease context, sporting rights retained and exercised in Shouldham Sincks

Notes: The exchange catalogue and MDR records are evidentiary routes, not proof of a sporting reservation or Colts title connection.

PASS 9: current Forestry England webpage continues to classify Shouldham as leasehold land, consistent with the historic long-lease framework, but does not identify current sporting-right ownership. PASS 11: Forestry plan states retained estate sporting rights were exercised in the Sincks; Shouldham Parish Council states Shouldham Sincks was owned by Stow Estates in 2021. PASS 13: this category is expressly capable of surviving within the modern Schedule-12/HMLR framework. Any valid Colts right still existing in 1930 could potentially pass under LPA 1925 s.62(3) unless excluded, but 2013 priority and present ownership must be proved. PASS 14: 2010 official local-authority report describes the Hare family's Stow Estate as a traditional Norfolk farming and shooting estate of about 4,000 acres at that time; Stow Estate Trust is a currently identifiable estate entity.

PASS 13: this category is expressly capable of surviving within the modern Schedule-12/HMLR framework. Any valid Colts right still existing in 1930 could potentially pass under LPA 1925 s.62(3) unless excluded, but 2013 priority and present ownership must be proved.

Commons / wastes / common rights

Historic status: Historic commons/waste definitively subject to enclosure legislation

Current legal category: Post-enclosure land/right outcome depends on award

Current stance:

Evidence: 1749 Watlington Inclosure Act; surviving award extract NRO MS 7245, 7B4 (Elizabeth Roberts allotment)

Notes: Do not say the full award has been found and do not transfer an enclosure-era Gawsells court outcome to Colts without the operative award or an express consolidation.

historic_status: Historic commons/waste definitively subject to enclosure legislation
key_change_or_survival_event: 1749 enclosure likely replaced/extinguished common rights with allotments/rules. PASS 8 adds BL/MA 34, whose Watlington section spans 1746-1767, as a before/after comparator; its Davis/Tottenhill context means it cannot be assigned to Colts without express identity evidence. PASS 11: 1798 Shouldham enclosure schedule provenance upgraded; it expressly covers allotments, roads, footpaths, drain, fences and rules. HARE 2826 also provides a 1440-41 field-system source, but neither is yet tied parcel-by-parcel to Colts. PASS 13: distinguish physical ownership of residual manorial waste from incorporeal common/manorial rights. LPA 1925 s.62(3) is relevant to a 1930 manor conveyance, but the 1749 award and later parcel deeds can have severed/transformed these interests.
current_legal_category: Post-enclosure land/right outcome depends on award
current_factual_status_for_watlington_colts: Enclosure transformation of parish common rights remains strongly evidenced. PASS 19 adds a specifically named 'Abbey Common' in the 1796 Shouldham road notice, reinforcing that parish-level common landscapes must be allocated to the correct manor/estate before any Colts claim is made.
connection_to_colts: Watlington enclosure direct; particular manor/tenure outcome unresolved; BL/MA 34 likely Gawsells comparator
present_claim_assessment: OLD COMMON RIGHTS TRANSFORMED/EXTINGUISHED LOCALLY; COLTS SUBSTITUTE ALLOTMENT NOT FOUND; ABBEY-ASSOCIATED COMMON LANDSCAPE IS A COMPETING STREAM

key_change_or_survival_event: Certain liabilities are capable of statutory preservation. PASS 8 adds a medieval custumal, transition court roll and enclosure-era draft court book as targets; no road, drainage or protective-work clause has been read. PASS 11: Heidelberg catalogue confirms the 1798 Shouldham schedule expressly covers public/private/bridle roads, footpaths, drain, fences, rules/orders; a local transcription also preserves 1796 commissioners' road-setting notices. PASS 13: certain liabilities for construction/maintenance/repair of dykes, ditches, canals and other works are within the modern HMLR-preserved manorial-right framework. Any Colts liability/right requires award/deed and parcel identification plus current priority analysis.
current_legal_category: Legally capable in certain forms

Timber

Historic status: Historic estate category possible

Current legal category: No automatic manorial title right

Current stance:

key_change_or_survival_event: Old timber incidents subject to enfranchisement/compensation; ordinary ownership rules otherwise PASS 11: bibliographic record for the 1798 Shouldham enclosure schedule states that the surviving copy contains a manuscript 'License to fell timber' signed Thomas Hare between pp.8-9.
current_legal_category: No automatic manorial title right
current_factual_status_for_watlington_colts: Estate-level timber control/licensing is evidenced in the surviving 1798 Shouldham enclosure copy, but no proprietary or manorial timber right specific to Colts is proved.
connection_to_colts: UNPROVED — common Hare ownership/estate context alone is insufficient
present_claim_assessment: ESTATE-LEVEL TIMBER DOCUMENT EXISTS; COLTS MANORIAL TIMBER RIGHT UNPROVED

earliest_direct_or_best_evidence: Forestry England Shouldham/Bilney Forest Plan; 2021 Shouldham Sincks access notice
historic_status: Modern estate/leasehold access and wayleave context, not established as medieval/manorial rights
key_change_or_survival_event: Forest plan refers to access to private houses and utility wayleaves; 2021 access control involved Stow Estates PASS 9: Forestry England's current page expressly classifies Shouldham as leasehold land with permissive access granted by the landowner. PASS 11: 2021 Parish Council identifies Stow Estates as Sincks landowner and says access remains required for Stow Estates/residents; Forestry plan separately records private-house access and utility wayleaves.
current_legal_category: Ordinary easement/licence/wayleave/land-management rights unless contrary title evidence proves a manorial origin
current_factual_status_for_watlington_colts: Modern access/wayleave arrangements exist in the wider Shouldham woodland estate. No evidence ties them to the historical Colts lordship.

present_claim_assessment: DO NOT PRESENT AS A MANORIAL RIGHT OF COLTS
next_decisive_document: 1943 lease and all later variations/assignments; current land title; permissive-access/wayleave instruments; any deed expressly linking these to Colts
notes: Included to prevent modern estate access arrangements being accidentally described as surviving manorial privileges.

Mill / milling interest

Historic status: Historic Baynard/Shouldham economic resource proved; no direct Watlington-Colts mill right proved

Current legal category: A mill may be ordinary land/property or carry associated easements/profits; Domesday presence alone does not create a present manorial franchise.

Current stance:

Evidence: Ralph Baynard's Shouldham [All Saints and St Margaret]/other Shouldham Domesday entry: 0.8 mills

Notes: The 2025 catalogue's Domesday wording is insufficient. Distinguish physical mill property from any customary milling incident. PASS 13: current significance would require ordinary land/property ownership or an express reservation; no automatic current manorial privilege follows from historic evidence.
right_or_incident: Mill / milling interest
earliest_direct_or_best_evidence: Ralph Baynard's Shouldham [All Saints and St Margaret]/other Shouldham Domesday entry: 0.8 mills
historic_status: Historic Baynard/Shouldham economic resource proved; no direct Watlington-Colts mill right proved
key_change_or_survival_event: PASS 10 source audit shows the 2025 catalogue combines the £2 Shouldham Thorpe valuation with resources from a different Baynard Shouldham entry.
current_legal_category: A mill may be ordinary land/property or carry associated easements/profits; Domesday presence alone does not create a present manorial franchise.
current_factual_status_for_watlington_colts: No mill, milling monopoly, multure or other milling right is proved in the Colts chain.
connection_to_colts: UNPROVED — wider Baynard/Shouldham evidence only
present_claim_assessment: DO NOT PRESENT AS A WATLINGTON-COLTS RIGHT
next_decisive_document: Instrument bridging the relevant Baynard Shouldham estate/resource into Trussbutts/Colts; later court/custom/rental evidence
notes: The 2025 catalogue's Domesday wording is insufficient. Distinguish physical mill property from any customary milling incident. PASS 13: current significance would require ordinary land/property ownership or an express reservation; no automatic current manorial privilege follows from historic evidence.

Salthouse / salt-working profit

Historic status: Historic Baynard/Shouldham economic resource proved; not mentioned in the 2025 Watlington-Colts catalogue paragraph

Current legal category: Historic land/economic resource; no automatic surviving manorial privilege follows from Domesday description

Current stance:

Evidence: Ralph Baynard's Shouldham Domesday entry records 1 salthouse

Notes: Recorded to preserve a potentially relevant historic profit without silently importing it into the Colts rights bundle. PASS 13: current significance would require ordinary land/property ownership or an express reservation; no automatic current manorial privilege follows from historic evidence.
right_or_incident: Salthouse / salt-working profit
earliest_direct_or_best_evidence: Ralph Baynard's Shouldham Domesday entry records 1 salthouse
historic_status: Historic Baynard/Shouldham economic resource proved; not mentioned in the 2025 Watlington-Colts catalogue paragraph
key_change_or_survival_event: PASS 10 exposes the salthouse while auditing the Baynard Shouldham resource package, but no descent into Colts is proved.
current_legal_category: Historic land/economic resource; no automatic surviving manorial privilege follows from Domesday description

PASS 13: current significance would require ordinary land/property ownership or an express reservation; no automatic current manorial privilege follows from historic evidence.

Castleward / castle-guard rent

Historic status: VERIFIED historic feudal burden on specified Watlington/Wormegay knight's-fee holdings; exact later Trussbut/Colts predecessor not identified.

Current legal category: Historic charge tied to medieval knight-service tenure; Tenures Abolition Act 1660 is the relevant abolition/conversion framework.

Current stance:

Notes: Do not turn a superior feudal burden into a present manorial privilege.
right_or_incident: Castleward / castle-guard rent
earliest_direct_or_best_evidence: 1329 Thomas Bardolf IPM/calendar material: Wormegay foreign tenants paid 2s 2d per full knight's fee at the end of every 24 weeks, called Castelwarde; multiple Watlington fee holdings expressly rendered it.
historic_status: VERIFIED historic feudal burden on specified Watlington/Wormegay knight's-fee holdings; exact later Trussbut/Colts predecessor not identified.
key_change_or_survival_event: PASS 12 first separately tracks this burden. The 1329 schedule names Watlington/Longham manor and other Watlington-linked fee holdings paying Castelward. PASS 65 source-controls the split: Geoffrey Bryseyard holds the Watlington-and-Longham manor for one fee, while a separate tenant group holds another one-fee Watlington/Foston/Wallington/Setchey/Hardwick block. Later 1610-11 Longham Priors/Holkham evidence creates a competing Longham-Watlington-Priors stream; therefore the 1329 Bryseyard manor is no longer treated as the likely Trusbut antecedent without an explicit descent bridge.
current_legal_category: Historic charge tied to medieval knight-service tenure; Tenures Abolition Act 1660 is the relevant abolition/conversion framework.
current_factual_status_for_watlington_colts: Historic Wormegay/Watlington burden only; no present Watlington-West liability established.

Waytefee / watch-fee

Historic status: VERIFIED historic feudal burden on specified Watlington/Wormegay knight's-fee holdings; exact later Trussbut/Colts predecessor not identified.

Current legal category: Historic charge tied to medieval knight-service tenure; Tenures Abolition Act 1660 is the relevant abolition/conversion framework.

Current stance:

Evidence: 1329 Thomas Bardolf IPM/calendar material: Wormegay foreign tenants rendered 12d yearly per full knight's fee, called Waytefee; multiple Watlington fee holdings expressly rendered it.

Notes: Track as a historic burden, not as a modern beneficial right.
right_or_incident: Waytefee / watch-fee
earliest_direct_or_best_evidence: 1329 Thomas Bardolf IPM/calendar material: Wormegay foreign tenants rendered 12d yearly per full knight's fee, called Waytefee; multiple Watlington fee holdings expressly rendered it.
historic_status: VERIFIED historic feudal burden on specified Watlington/Wormegay knight's-fee holdings; exact later Trussbut/Colts predecessor not identified.
key_change_or_survival_event: PASS 12 first separately tracks Waytefee alongside Castelward. PASS 65 applies the same identity control: multiple distinct 1329 Watlington-linked fee blocks owed the same superior-honour burden, so shared Waytefee/Castelward service cannot by itself prove they were the same subordinate manor or the later Colts/Trusbut fee.
current_legal_category: Historic charge tied to medieval knight-service tenure; Tenures Abolition Act 1660 is the relevant abolition/conversion framework.
current_factual_status_for_watlington_colts: Historic Wormegay/Watlington burden only; no present Watlington-West liability established.

Superior honour franchises — waifs / strays / soc / toll / team / infangthief

Historic status: VERIFIED at superior Wormegay honour level; not verified as franchises of the subordinate Trussbut/Colts manor.

Current legal category: Historic honour/franchise categories; no present Colts entitlement is evidenced by the superior grant alone.

Current stance:

Evidence: 1441 William Phelipp IPM, E-CIPM 25-481: honour/manor of Wormegay held with escheats, waifs, strays, soc, toll, team (thema), infangthief and other franchises.

Notes: Grouped here to preserve the full 1441 franchise lead without inflating the Colts rights bundle.

Lordship / manorial title

Historic status: Modern chain accepted for project purposes; rights survival is a separate pre-1930 question.

Current legal category: User-supplied primary conveyance purports to convey Watlington Colts otherwise Trusbutts, so far as subsisting, with rights, royalties, members and appurtenances.

Current stance: TITLE CHAIN / BENEFIT GATEWAY STRONG; no automatic proof of each individual right.

Evidence: Modern chain accepted for project purposes; rights survival is a separate pre-1930 question.

Notes: Priority: Critical
Right / Incident: Lordship / manorial title
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Modern chain accepted for project purposes; rights survival is a separate pre-1930 question.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: HMLR confirms lordship, manorial land and manorial rights can exist separately.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: User-supplied primary conveyance purports to convey Watlington Colts otherwise Trusbutts, so far as subsisting, with rights, royalties, members and appurtenances.
Current Combined Assessment: TITLE CHAIN / BENEFIT GATEWAY STRONG; no automatic proof of each individual right.
Connection to Colts: Core Colts title stream; keep Gawsels/Davis/Plestow/Coote identity questions record-specific.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: Any contrary intention, reservation, severance or extinction before 12 Feb 1930; then modern priority/registration.

12 February 1930 conveyance gateway

Historic status: Prior rights project elevated this as the decisive modern rights bridge.

Current legal category: Express wording: manor/lordship 'as far as the same respectively are subsisting' with 'rights royalties members and appurtenances'.

Current stance: GENERAL RIGHTS PACKAGE EXPRESSLY INCLUDED AS A CLASS; the remaining problem is which specific rights were still legally subsisting.

Evidence: Prior rights project elevated this as the decisive modern rights bridge.

Notes: Priority: Critical
Right / Incident: 12 February 1930 conveyance gateway
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Prior rights project elevated this as the decisive modern rights bridge.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: LPA 1925 s.62(3) expressly treats compensation rights for extinguished manorial incidents as appertaining to a manor unless contrary intention appears.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: Express wording: manor/lordship 'as far as the same respectively are subsisting' with 'rights royalties members and appurtenances'.
Current Combined Assessment: GENERAL RIGHTS PACKAGE EXPRESSLY INCLUDED AS A CLASS; the remaining problem is which specific rights were still legally subsisting.
Connection to Colts: Directly names Watlington Colts otherwise Trusbutts in the prior primary-instrument analysis.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: Full deed clauses: exceptions/reservations, minerals, sporting/game, wastes, rents, fold, franchises, rights of entry, compensation, parcels and recitals.

Manorial land / Colts Farm / capital messuage

Historic status: Physical Colts estate strongly identifiable; later land can be severed from lordship/right package. PASS 51: HARE 2495/HE identifies the capital messuage/Colt's close (6a), four tenements/yards, alder carr (~7a), Appletons (5a) and Batchelors (>9a); early-19C Colt's Farm included the scheduled area and the 1843 tithe preserves Homestall/Further Homestall names.

Current legal category: If a candidate parcel was still legally/reputedly part/member of Watlington Colts and Humphreys had title, the 1930 manor conveyance could potentially carry it under the deed + s.62(3). If already severed, it could not.

Current stance: PHYSICAL ESTATE EVIDENCE VERY STRONG; present ownership unresolved. Pass 51 opens a specific reputed-manor-land recovery route but proves no current parcel.

Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: HARE 5466 keeps Colts Farm visible in Hare estate administration after the reported 1869 title-sale period. PASS 51 legal gate: s.62(3) can carry corporeal/reputed manor land still attached, while Comber/Delacherois confirms a prior distinct freehold conveyance severs it. HARE 5466 may therefore be either continuity of Colts land in Hare ownership or evidence it had already separated from the later lordship.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: If a candidate parcel was still legally/reputedly part/member of Watlington Colts and Humphreys had title, the 1930 manor conveyance could potentially carry it under the deed + s.62(3). If already severed, it could not.
Current Combined Assessment: PHYSICAL ESTATE EVIDENCE VERY STRONG; present ownership unresolved. Pass 51 opens a specific reputed-manor-land recovery route but proves no current parcel.
Connection to Colts: Strong historic Colts physical-estate connection.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: Full HARE 2495; HARE 6832; 1843 tithe map/apportionment; HARE 5370 (1849 terrier); full HARE 5466 Colts Farm schedule; Hare physical-estate severance instruments including HARE 6374/6375 + HARE 6956; 16 Dec 1929 Green/Public Trustee -> Humphreys predecessor deed; 12 Feb 1930 manor deed ALREADY RECOVERED/ANALYSED (do not re-search); HMLR index/title history for each reconstructed parcel; NHER 4283 protection agreement.

Free fold / fold liberties

Historic status: Historically the strongest distinctive Colts/Trussbutts right: 1506 free fold; 1597 Colts/Trusbutts title material with fold liberty.

Current legal category: Would pass only if still subsisting and attached/reputedly attached in 1930.

Current stance: HISTORIC RIGHT STRONG; MODERN SURVIVAL UNPROVED / LOOKS WEAK.

Evidence: Historically the strongest distinctive Colts/Trussbutts right: 1506 free fold; 1597 Colts/Trusbutts title material with fold liberty.

Notes: Priority: Critical
Right / Incident: Free fold / fold liberties
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Historically the strongest distinctive Colts/Trussbutts right: 1506 free fold; 1597 Colts/Trusbutts title material with fold liberty.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: Later enclosure and land reorganisation make survival doubtful; Pass 39 keeps 1506 identity caution visible.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: Would pass only if still subsisting and attached/reputedly attached in 1930.
Current Combined Assessment: HISTORIC RIGHT STRONG; MODERN SURVIVAL UNPROVED / LOOKS WEAK.
Connection to Colts: Strongest historic Colts-specific rights candidate, but 1506 identity bridge still matters.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: 1749 Watlington inclosure award/map, later court/custumal evidence, 19th/20th-century severance files.

16 shillings rent

Historic status: Historic 1506 rent proved; legal character unresolved.

Current legal category: Only a still-subsisting legally transferable rent/compensation entitlement could pass.

Notes: Priority: High
Right / Incident: 16 shillings rent
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Historic 1506 rent proved; legal character unresolved.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: Ordinary quit/customary rents fall on the 1922 extinguishment/compensation side; a legally distinct rentcharge would need separate proof.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: Only a still-subsisting legally transferable rent/compensation entitlement could pass.
Current Combined Assessment: HISTORIC RENT PROVED; PRESENT CLAIM DOWNGRADED UNLESS LATER CHARACTER/CONTINUITY IS FOUND.
Connection to Colts: 1506 Watlyngton bundle; Colts identity not automatically assumed.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: Later rentals, compensation agreements, 1749 award, proof of independent rentcharge character.

Court baron / customary court

Historic status: Long Watlington court/custom sequence identified; individual manor stream must be proved.

Current legal category: A court-related right could pass only to extent still legally subsisting; extinct jurisdiction is not revived by general words.

Current stance: HISTORIC COURT FUNCTION PROVED; NOT A SAFE PRESENT EXERCISABLE RIGHT WITHOUT SPECIFIC SURVIVAL PROOF.

Evidence: Long Watlington court/custom sequence identified; individual manor stream must be proved.

Notes: Priority: High
Right / Incident: Court baron / customary court
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Long Watlington court/custom sequence identified; individual manor stream must be proved.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: Gawsels yearly courts leet/baron directly evidenced in 1845 and 1883; ordinary copyhold incidents were transformed by the reforms.

Current Combined Assessment: HISTORIC COURT FUNCTION PROVED; NOT A SAFE PRESENT EXERCISABLE RIGHT WITHOUT SPECIFIC SURVIVAL PROOF.
Connection to Colts: Some Watlington/Gawsels court evidence; generic Watlington records remain stream-sensitive.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: Identify last courts/copyholders, statutory effect, compensation schedules and exact manor creator of each court record.

Heriots / fines / reliefs / fealty / suit / admissions

Historic status: Earlier ledger already classified these as ordinary copyhold/manorial incidents rather than serious present-right targets.

Current legal category: Any outstanding compensation entitlement could pass; the extinct incident itself does not revive.

Current stance: HISTORIC INCIDENTS; EXPECT EXTINGUISHMENT/COMPENSATION, NOT PRESENT EXERCISE.

Evidence: Earlier ledger already classified these as ordinary copyhold/manorial incidents rather than serious present-right targets.

Notes: Priority: Critical
Right / Incident: Heriots / fines / reliefs / fealty / suit / admissions
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Earlier ledger already classified these as ordinary copyhold/manorial incidents rather than serious present-right targets.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: Pass 39 proves arbitrary fines at Gawsels in 1845; Pass 38 maps the 1922 compensation machinery.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: Any outstanding compensation entitlement could pass; the extinct incident itself does not revive.
Current Combined Assessment: HISTORIC INCIDENTS; EXPECT EXTINGUISHMENT/COMPENSATION, NOT PRESENT EXERCISE.
Connection to Colts: Gawsels arbitrary fines proved; Colts-specific 1926 status unknown.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: MAF 13/27, manor-specific tenant schedules/agreements, last court/rental records.

Mines / minerals / quarry / working rights

Historic status: Highest-value legally preservable category; no direct Colts mineral reservation previously found.

Current legal category: Would fall within 1930 general rights wording only if still owned/appurtenant/reputedly enjoyed with the manor and not excluded.

Current stance: LEGALLY CAPABLE OF SURVIVAL; NO DIRECT COLTS RESERVATION YET PROVED.

12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: Would fall within 1930 general rights wording only if still owned/appurtenant/reputedly enjoyed with the manor and not excluded.
Current Combined Assessment: LEGALLY CAPABLE OF SURVIVAL; NO DIRECT COLTS RESERVATION YET PROVED.
Connection to Colts: Unproved for Colts; wider estate/enclosure sources may allocate minerals separately.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: 1749 award/map, 1794/98 Shouldham award, 1943 lease, c.1900 exchanges, modern mineral registrations/notices.

Sporting / hunting / shooting / fowling

Historic status: Earlier rights project found the strongest post-1926 factual survivor in the wider estate: Hare Estate sporting reservation.

Current legal category: If a Colts sporting right was still attached to the manor in 1930, the deed wording could carry it; however the 1943 reservation is evidenced in the separate Hare/Stow landowner stream and is not identified as a Colts right.

Current stance: POST-1926 SPORTING RIGHT VERIFIED IN WIDER HARE/STOW ESTATE; COLTS APPURTENANCE UNPROVED.

Evidence: Earlier rights project found the strongest post-1926 factual survivor in the wider estate: Hare Estate sporting reservation.

Notes: Priority: Critical
Right / Incident: Sporting / hunting / shooting / fowling
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Earlier rights project found the strongest post-1926 factual survivor in the wider estate: Hare Estate sporting reservation.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: Forestry plan states 1943 999-year lease from Hare Estate and sporting rights retained/exercised in Shouldham Sincks; 2022 Norfolk County Council independently states Forestry leased Shouldham Warren from the landowner.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: If a Colts sporting right was still attached to the manor in 1930, the deed wording could carry it; however the 1943 reservation is evidenced in the separate Hare/Stow landowner stream and is not identified as a Colts right.

Warren / chase

Historic status: 1634 Shouldham Warren lease is a genuine rights-bearing historical target; Colts ownership not proved.

Current legal category: Could pass in 1930 only if the relevant franchise/right belonged to Colts and still subsisted.

Current stance: LEGALLY SURVIVABLE CATEGORY; REAL SHOULDHAM WARREN HISTORY; COLTS DEVOLUTION UNPROVED.

What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: Recover 1634 lease: lessor, land, franchise wording, successors/assigns, game reservation, later lease chain.

Piscary / fishing

Historic status: Earlier ledger downgraded Domesday fishery as wider Baynard/Shouldham evidence; no continuous Colts piscary proved.

Current legal category: 1930 wording could carry a subsisting piscary, but cannot create or restore one.

Current stance: LEGALLY CAPABLE OF SURVIVAL; NO DIRECT CONTINUOUS COLTS FISHERY PROOF.

Evidence: Earlier ledger downgraded Domesday fishery as wider Baynard/Shouldham evidence; no continuous Colts piscary proved.

Notes: Priority: High
Right / Incident: Piscary / fishing
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Earlier ledger downgraded Domesday fishery as wider Baynard/Shouldham evidence; no continuous Colts piscary proved.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: HMLR PG16 confirms a piscary/profit can exist separately from ownership of lake/riverbed.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: 1930 wording could carry a subsisting piscary, but cannot create or restore one.
Current Combined Assessment: LEGALLY CAPABLE OF SURVIVAL; NO DIRECT CONTINUOUS COLTS FISHERY PROOF.

Evidence: Shouldham prescriptive market and later fairs are real; franchise ownership stream unresolved.

Notes: Priority: High
Right / Incident: Market / fair / toll / stallage
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Shouldham prescriptive market and later fairs are real; franchise ownership stream unresolved.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: Market/fair franchises are among preserved categories; 1633 'market place' is not ownership proof.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: Could pass only if the franchise belonged to Colts and was still subsisting in 1930.
Current Combined Assessment: HISTORIC FRANCHISE STREAM EXISTS; COLTS OWNERSHIP / MODERN SURVIVAL UNPROVED.
Connection to Colts: Could be Colts, Priory manor or another Shouldham component.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: Franchise grants/custom, court/rental receipts, Hare consolidation deeds, later market/fair records.

Commons / wastes / common-related rights

Historic status: Earlier ledger treats these as heavily transformed by enclosure.

Current legal category: Only residual waste/common rights surviving those awards could reach 1930.

Current stance: SURVIVAL DEPENDS ON ENCLOSURE AWARDS / ALLOTMENTS / RESERVATIONS.

Evidence: Earlier ledger treats these as heavily transformed by enclosure.

Notes: Priority: Critical
Right / Incident: Commons / wastes / common-related rights
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Earlier ledger treats these as heavily transformed by enclosure.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: 1749 Watlington inclosure and 1794–98 Shouldham enclosure are separate decisive transformation regimes.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: Only residual waste/common rights surviving those awards could reach 1930.
Current Combined Assessment: SURVIVAL DEPENDS ON ENCLOSURE AWARDS / ALLOTMENTS / RESERVATIONS.
Connection to Colts: Territory-based tracing required; do not merge by manor label alone.

Evidence: Certain obligations/rights are legally preservable; actual Colts basis unproved.

Notes: Priority: Medium-High
Right / Incident: Roads / ways / dykes / drains / protective works
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Certain obligations/rights are legally preservable; actual Colts basis unproved.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: LPA 1922 Schedule 12 preserves certain works liabilities; enclosure likely reorganised roads/drains.

Current Combined Assessment: LEGAL CAPACITY EXISTS; FACTUAL COLTS RIGHT/LIABILITY UNPROVED.
Connection to Colts: Territory/parcel dependent.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: 1749/1798 awards, commissioners' papers, later drainage/highway instruments.

Timber

Historic status: Earlier ledger treated timber separately from minerals/sporting rights.

Current legal category: 1930 passage depends on whether it was a surviving appurtenant right versus land ownership or an extinguished incident.

Current stance: NO SIMPLE PRESENT MANORIAL TIMBER RIGHT PROVED.

Evidence: Earlier ledger treated timber separately from minerals/sporting rights.

Notes: Priority: High
Right / Incident: Timber
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Earlier ledger treated timber separately from minerals/sporting rights.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: Pass 38 identifies timber-related incidents within extinguishment/compensation framework; physical timber ownership can also follow land.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: 1930 passage depends on whether it was a surviving appurtenant right versus land ownership or an extinguished incident.
Current Combined Assessment: NO SIMPLE PRESENT MANORIAL TIMBER RIGHT PROVED.
Connection to Colts: Parcel/right character must be established.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: Enfranchisement/compensation agreements, estate deeds, 1749/1798 awards, 1943 lease.

Advowson / St Peter patronage

Historic status: Historic 1506 advowson strong, but later patronage stream was separately owned and modern church law governs transfer.

Current legal category: 1930 general words do not restore a severed ecclesiastical patronage right.

Current stance: HISTORIC ADVOWSON PROVED; SEPARATE PATRONAGE STREAM; NOT A CURRENT MANOR-SALE RIGHT.

Evidence: Historic 1506 advowson strong, but later patronage stream was separately owned and modern church law governs transfer.

Notes: Priority: Medium
Right / Incident: Advowson / St Peter patronage
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Historic 1506 advowson strong, but later patronage stream was separately owned and modern church law governs transfer.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: Pass 40 separation principles reinforce that a historical appurtenance may have been severed long before modern title transfer.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: 1930 general words do not restore a severed ecclesiastical patronage right.
Current Combined Assessment: HISTORIC ADVOWSON PROVED; SEPARATE PATRONAGE STREAM; NOT A CURRENT MANOR-SALE RIGHT.
Connection to Colts: 1506 working Watlyngton bundle; later Colts identity/devolution unresolved.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: Diocesan patronage register and historic presentation deeds.

Castleward / waytefee / superior honour franchises

Historic status: Historic Watlington/Wormegay burdens and superior franchises proved in medieval records, but not Colts present rights.

Current legal category: Not rescued by 1930 general words if already abolished, superior-only, or never Colts rights.

Current stance: HISTORICAL CONTEXT / BURDENS ONLY; NO PRESENT COLTS CLAIM.

Evidence: Historic Watlington/Wormegay burdens and superior franchises proved in medieval records, but not Colts present rights.

Notes: Priority: Low
Right / Incident: Castleward / waytefee / superior honour franchises
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Historic Watlington/Wormegay burdens and superior franchises proved in medieval records, but not Colts present rights.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: Tenures Abolition Act 1660 / superior-honour structure remain controlling transformation context.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: Not rescued by 1930 general words if already abolished, superior-only, or never Colts rights.
Current Combined Assessment: HISTORICAL CONTEXT / BURDENS ONLY; NO PRESENT COLTS CLAIM.
Connection to Colts: Wormegay/Watlington predecessor or superior honour, not proved as Colts beneficial right.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: Original fee/custom rolls, delegation/exercise evidence, chain-specific proof.

Mill / salthouse / early Baynard resources

Historic status: Earlier audit downgraded these as wider Baynard/Shouldham resource evidence, not Colts.

Current legal category: Could not pass as Colts rights in 1930 without an intervening Colts-specific chain.

Current stance: WIDER SHOULDHAM/BAYNARD LEADS ONLY; DO NOT PRESENT AS COLTS RIGHTS.

Evidence: Earlier audit downgraded these as wider Baynard/Shouldham resource evidence, not Colts.

Notes: Priority: Low
Right / Incident: Mill / salthouse / early Baynard resources
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Earlier audit downgraded these as wider Baynard/Shouldham resource evidence, not Colts.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: Current separation rules confirm physical/economic resources do not become modern manorial rights merely from early estate association.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: Could not pass as Colts rights in 1930 without an intervening Colts-specific chain.
Current Combined Assessment: WIDER SHOULDHAM/BAYNARD LEADS ONLY; DO NOT PRESENT AS COLTS RIGHTS.

Current legal category: Shows the named Colts/Trusbutts manor identity in an operative assurance well before the 1930 gateway.

Current stance: DIRECT HISTORIC TITLE IDENTITY STRONG.

Evidence: Prior rights project established actual bargain and sale expressly naming Watlington Coltes or Watlington Trusbuttes.

Notes: Priority: Critical
Right / Incident: 1597 Colt -> Shouldham title anchor (HARE 2402)
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Prior rights project established actual bargain and sale expressly naming Watlington Coltes or Watlington Trusbuttes.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: Current main ledger now carries the exact NRO reference and scope.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: Shows the named Colts/Trusbutts manor identity in an operative assurance well before the 1930 gateway.
Current Combined Assessment: DIRECT HISTORIC TITLE IDENTITY STRONG.

1597 fold liberty (HARE 2403)

Historic status: Prior rights project materially upgraded fold history beyond the 1506 generic Watlyngton free fold.

Current legal category: A fold liberty can reach the 1930 general words only if it survived the 1749 inclosure and later estate changes.

Current stance: HISTORIC FOLD LIBERTY NOW TIED TO 1597 WATLYNGTON/COLTES TITLE PACKAGE; SURVIVAL STILL UNPROVED.

Evidence: Prior rights project materially upgraded fold history beyond the 1506 generic Watlyngton free fold.

Notes: Priority: Critical

12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: A fold liberty can reach the 1930 general words only if it survived the 1749 inclosure and later estate changes.
Current Combined Assessment: HISTORIC FOLD LIBERTY NOW TIED TO 1597 WATLYNGTON/COLTES TITLE PACKAGE; SURVIVAL STILL UNPROVED.
Connection to Colts: Strong Colts-title connection; exact allocation across several places requires original.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: HARE 2403 original + full 1749 award/map + later parcel/severance records.

1749 Watlington inclosure award extract (MS 7245, 7B4)

Historic status: Earlier project located an exact surviving award fragment rather than merely the Act title.

Current legal category: The inclosure is the principal transformation gate for fold, commons/waste, roads/drains and possible mineral reservations before 1930.

Current stance: AWARD FRAGMENT EXISTS; FULL RIGHTS EFFECT STILL UNREAD.

Evidence: Earlier project located an exact surviving award fragment rather than merely the Act title.

Notes: Priority: Critical
Right / Incident: 1749 Watlington inclosure award extract (MS 7245, 7B4)

Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: Pass 42 confirms the Act's statutory existence and restores the NRO extract into the main ledger.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: The inclosure is the principal transformation gate for fold, commons/waste, roads/drains and possible mineral reservations before 1930.
Current Combined Assessment: AWARD FRAGMENT EXISTS; FULL RIGHTS EFFECT STILL UNREAD.
Connection to Colts: Watlington parish/manor; precise manor stream of Elizabeth Roberts allotment unknown.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: Order MS 7245, 7B4 and trace its parent award/map/claims/commissioners' papers.

16 Dec 1929 predecessor conveyance

Historic status: Earlier private deed analysis exposed this recited root immediately before Humphreys -> Edleston.

Current legal category: It may contain the immediate pre-1930 reservations/severances defining what Humphreys could convey.

Current stance: CRITICAL MISSING PREDECESSOR INSTRUMENT.

Evidence: Earlier private deed analysis exposed this recited root immediately before Humphreys -> Edleston.

Notes: Priority: Critical
Right / Incident: 16 Dec 1929 predecessor conveyance
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Earlier private deed analysis exposed this recited root immediately before Humphreys -> Edleston.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: Pass 42 restores it to the current title chain.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: It may contain the immediate pre-1930 reservations/severances defining what Humphreys could convey.
Current Combined Assessment: CRITICAL MISSING PREDECESSOR INSTRUMENT.
Connection to Colts: Directly recited in 12 Feb 1930 deed affecting the conveyed hereditaments.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: Obtain full Green + Public Trustee -> Humphreys deed and schedule.

21 Dec 1977 two-deed vesting sequence

Historic status: Prior project had primary deed proof; current ledger had only chronology/secondary material.

Current legal category: First deed expressly schedules Watlington Colts/Trusbutts into Eric's executor capacity; second sweeps residual Sarah-estate lordships to Richard.

Current stance: MODERN BENEFIT-SIDE CHAIN SUBSTANTIALLY PRIMARY-PROVED TO RICHARD.

Evidence: Prior project had primary deed proof; current ledger had only chronology/secondary material.

Notes: Priority: Critical
Right / Incident: 21 Dec 1977 two-deed vesting sequence

Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: Pass 42 restores both deeds separately.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: First deed expressly schedules Watlington Colts/Trusbutts into Eric's executor capacity; second sweeps residual Sarah-estate lordships to Richard.
Current Combined Assessment: MODERN BENEFIT-SIDE CHAIN SUBSTANTIALLY PRIMARY-PROVED TO RICHARD.
Connection to Colts: Watlington Colts expressly named in first deed; second is residual sweep.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: Inspect 30 Oct 1969 assent; then Richard's will/Olivia assent/current transfer.

Shouldham Woods freehold/reversion vs Forestry lease

Historic status: Earlier project had the 1943 sporting-right reservation but did not fully state the tenure consequence.

Current legal category: This proves a separate superior-landowner/leaseholder structure. [Inference] The superior/reversionary estate remains outside Forestry unless later transferred, but the exact legal proprietor must come from the lease/HMLR. No evidence ties that superior estate to the Watlington-Colts lordship.

Current stance: LEASEHOLD STRUCTURE STRONGLY PROVED; CURRENT REGISTERED FREEHOLDER AND COLTS CONNECTION UNPROVED.

Evidence: Earlier project had the 1943 sporting-right reservation but did not fully state the tenure consequence.

Notes: Priority: Critical
Right / Incident: Shouldham Woods freehold/reversion vs Forestry lease
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Earlier project had the 1943 sporting-right reservation but did not fully state the tenure consequence.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: Forestry England currently says Shouldham is leasehold; its plan says the 999-year Hare Estate lease began in 1943; Norfolk County Council independently says Forestry leased Warren from the landowner. Only West Bilney is Forestry freehold.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: This proves a separate superior-landowner/leaseholder structure. [Inference] The superior/reversionary estate remains outside Forestry unless later transferred, but the exact legal proprietor must come from the lease/HMLR. No evidence ties that superior estate to the Watlington-Colts lordship.
Current Combined Assessment: LEASEHOLD STRUCTURE STRONGLY PROVED; CURRENT REGISTERED FREEHOLDER AND COLTS CONNECTION UNPROVED.
Connection to Colts: Wider Hare/Stow estate, not automatically Watlington Colts.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: Actual 1943 lease; current freehold/reversion and leasehold registers/title plans; HARE 6962-86/new Hare archive; compare parcels against Colts Farm.

Shouldham Sincks ownership

Historic status: Earlier project knew Sincks as a sporting-right exercise area.

Current legal category: Any 1930 Colts right over Sincks would therefore need an independent chain as a burden/profit over land in the Stow estate stream; title ownership alone is insufficient.

Current stance: PUBLIC OWNER STATEMENT EXISTS FOR SINCKS; REGISTERED PROPRIETOR/ENTITY AND COLTS CONNECTION UNPROVED.

Evidence: Earlier project knew Sincks as a sporting-right exercise area.

Notes: Priority: Critical
Right / Incident: Shouldham Sincks ownership
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Earlier project knew Sincks as a sporting-right exercise area.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: Shouldham Parish Council in 2021 expressly says Shouldham Sincks is owned by Stow Estates; Forestry's plan treats Sincks as part of the 372ha lease and says estate sporting rights are exercised there.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: Any 1930 Colts right over Sincks would therefore need an independent chain as a burden/profit over land in the Stow estate stream; title ownership alone is insufficient.
Current Combined Assessment: PUBLIC OWNER STATEMENT EXISTS FOR SINCKS; REGISTERED PROPRIETOR/ENTITY AND COLTS CONNECTION UNPROVED.
Connection to Colts: Stow estate land stream.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: HMLR freehold register/title plan; actual 1943 lease; identify Stow Estates legal entity; historic parcel mapping.

Shouldham minerals / silica sand

Historic status: Minerals were already identified as the highest-value legally preservable category, but no Colts reservation was found.

Current legal category: Physical mineral existence makes the title question commercially/materially real, but the 1930 general words only carry minerals if they were then attached and not severed/reserved.

Current stance: RESOURCE EXISTS PHYSICALLY; OWNERSHIP OF MINERAL ESTATE REMAINS UNPROVED.

Evidence: Minerals were already identified as the highest-value legally preservable category, but no Colts reservation was found.

Notes: Priority: Critical
Right / Incident: Shouldham minerals / silica sand
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Minerals were already identified as the highest-value legally preservable category, but no Colts reservation was found.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: BGS confirms extractable Leziate sands at Shouldham Warren/Sincks and historic working; Norfolk planning identifies the area as mineral-search territory.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: Physical mineral existence makes the title question commercially/materially real, but the 1930 general words only carry minerals if they were then attached and not severed/reserved.
Current Combined Assessment: RESOURCE EXISTS PHYSICALLY; OWNERSHIP OF MINERAL ESTATE REMAINS UNPROVED.
Connection to Colts: Location overlaps wider Shouldham/Hare-Stow estate environment; Colts parcel connection still requires mapping.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: 1749/1798 awards; HARE 6374/6375/6956; 1943 lease mineral reservations; current mineral title/notices and operator agreements.

Late-19th-century Stow ownership of Shouldham Woods

Historic status: Earlier rights work showed modern Hare/Stow sporting-right survival but the pre-1943 land ownership anchor was less explicit.

Current legal category: Confirms the woodland freehold/estate stream existed independently before the 1930 Colts title conveyance.

Current stance: PHYSICAL SHOULDHAM WOODLAND OWNERSHIP IN STOW/HARE STREAM STRONGLY PROVED BEFORE 1930.

Evidence: Earlier rights work showed modern Hare/Stow sporting-right survival but the pre-1943 land ownership anchor was less explicit.

Notes: Priority: Critical
Right / Incident: Late-19th-century Stow ownership of Shouldham Woods
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Earlier rights work showed modern Hare/Stow sporting-right survival but the pre-1943 land ownership anchor was less explicit.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: Forestry England now directly states that by the late 19th century the Stow Bardolph Estate owned Shouldham Woods.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: Confirms the woodland freehold/estate stream existed independently before the 1930 Colts title conveyance.
Current Combined Assessment: PHYSICAL SHOULDHAM WOODLAND OWNERSHIP IN STOW/HARE STREAM STRONGLY PROVED BEFORE 1930.
Connection to Colts: Wider estate; no deed currently reconnects it to Colts.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: Tithe/OS/HARE estate deeds and c.1900 exchange papers.

c.1900 Hare ↔ Hoff exchange

Historic status: Legacy project already flagged HARE 6374/6375 as a possible severance point.

Current legal category: Could identify precisely which Shouldham/Thorpe parcels left the Hare estate before Humphreys/Edleston acquired the title package.

Current stance: CONCRETE PRE-1930 PARCEL-SEVERANCE EVENT; DETAILS UNREAD.

Evidence: Legacy project already flagged HARE 6374/6375 as a possible severance point.

Notes: Priority: Critical
Right / Incident: c.1900 Hare ↔ Hoff exchange
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Legacy project already flagged HARE 6374/6375 as a possible severance point.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: Pass 44 promotes the exact HARE 6956/1-5 marked OS sheets into the main ledger.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: Could identify precisely which Shouldham/Thorpe parcels left the Hare estate before Humphreys/Edleston acquired the title package.
Current Combined Assessment: CONCRETE PRE-1930 PARCEL-SEVERANCE EVENT; DETAILS UNREAD.
Connection to Colts: Potential Colts Farm/Shouldham relevance requires map matching.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: HARE 6374-5 + HARE 6956/1-5 originals.

2010 Stow Estate physical/sporting continuity

Historic status: Prior legacy analysis noted a modern shooting-estate stream.

Current legal category: Strongly supports persistence of separate estate land and sporting interests long after the 1930 title conveyance.

Current stance: MODERN WIDER-ESTATE LAND/SPORTING STREAM STRONG.

Evidence: Prior legacy analysis noted a modern shooting-estate stream.

Notes: Priority: Very High
Right / Incident: 2010 Stow Estate physical/sporting continuity
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Prior legacy analysis noted a modern shooting-estate stream.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: Official council report records Hare family's Stow Estate as traditional farming and shooting estate, c.4,000 acres in 2010.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: Strongly supports persistence of separate estate land and sporting interests long after the 1930 title conveyance.
Current Combined Assessment: MODERN WIDER-ESTATE LAND/SPORTING STREAM STRONG.
Connection to Colts: No Colts appurtenance proved.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: Land Registry titles; estate trust/title documents; actual 1943 lease.

Land severance does not itself decide rights

Historic status: Earlier project separated lordship, land and individual rights but some summaries risked implying retained rights automatically follow severance.

Current legal category: For each land sale/exchange/lease, the deed determines whether sporting/mineral/piscary/warren/timber rights were retained or transferred.

Current stance: NO AUTOMATIC PRESUMPTION THAT RIGHTS REMAINED WITH THE LORD WHEN LAND WAS SEVERED.

Evidence: Earlier project separated lordship, land and individual rights but some summaries risked implying retained rights automatically follow severance.

Notes: Priority: Critical
Right / Incident: Land severance does not itself decide rights
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Earlier project separated lordship, land and individual rights but some summaries risked implying retained rights automatically follow severance.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: Pass 45 adds a local 1845 control: Hare could be chief owner/lord in Shouldham Thorpe while Fodderston freehold belonged to Ely and was only leased to him with tithes.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: For each land sale/exchange/lease, the deed determines whether sporting/mineral/piscary/warren/timber rights were retained or transferred.
Current Combined Assessment: NO AUTOMATIC PRESUMPTION THAT RIGHTS REMAINED WITH THE LORD WHEN LAND WAS SEVERED.
Connection to Colts: Applies directly to interpreting Hare/Hoff c.1900 and Hare→Forestry 1943.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: HARE 6374/6375/6956; actual 1943 lease; registered titles; reservations/exceptions.

1845 Hare rabbit-warren landholding

Historic status: Warren history was previously a real Shouldham lead but specific Colts franchise continuity remained unproved.

Current legal category: Shows estate ownership/management of warren land; does not by itself prove a separately retained free-warren franchise.

Current stance: HARE ESTATE WARREN LAND / MANAGEMENT STRONG; COLTS INCORPOREAL WARREN RIGHT STILL UNPROVED.

Evidence: Warren history was previously a real Shouldham lead but specific Colts franchise continuity remained unproved.

Notes: Priority: Very High
Right / Incident: 1845 Hare rabbit-warren landholding
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Warren history was previously a real Shouldham lead but specific Colts franchise continuity remained unproved.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: White 1845 says Hare's 2,674 acres included a rabbit warren and names William Brighton as warrener.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: Shows estate ownership/management of warren land; does not by itself prove a separately retained free-warren franchise.
Current Combined Assessment: HARE ESTATE WARREN LAND / MANAGEMENT STRONG; COLTS INCORPOREAL WARREN RIGHT STILL UNPROVED.
Connection to Colts: Wider Shouldham/Hare estate.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: 1634 warren lease; 1798 enclosure; later shooting leases; 1943 lease reservations.

1779-1780 Shouldham gamekeeping enforcement

Historic status: Prior work proved warren management and later sporting-right reservation but had less direct evidence of actual eighteenth-century game enforcement.

Current legal category: Strengthens historic sporting/game control in the wider Shouldham manor/estate stream but still does not establish Colts-specific appurtenance.

Current stance: ACTIVE HISTORIC GAME CONTROL STRONGLY INDICATED; COLTS IDENTITY UNPROVED.

Evidence: Prior work proved warren management and later sporting-right reservation but had less direct evidence of actual eighteenth-century game enforcement.

Notes: Priority: Very High
Right / Incident: 1779-1780 Shouldham gamekeeping enforcement
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Prior work proved warren management and later sporting-right reservation but had less direct evidence of actual eighteenth-century game enforcement.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: Joseph Forby is reported as appointed gamekeeper of Sir Thomas Hare's manor at Shouldham; ensuing legal case concerns seizure of guns on the property.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: Strengthens historic sporting/game control in the wider Shouldham manor/estate stream but still does not establish Colts-specific appurtenance.
Current Combined Assessment: ACTIVE HISTORIC GAME CONTROL STRONGLY INDICATED; COLTS IDENTITY UNPROVED.
Connection to Colts: Wider Hare/Shouldham.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: Underlying Wentworth pleading; gamekeeper appointment/estate records; manor-specific court or shooting leases.

Extraction and resource rights are beneficiary-specific

Historic status: Earlier minerals/common analysis already separated legal categories.

Current legal category: Shows that extractive/resource entitlements were beneficiary- and parcel-specific; the poor-allotment stream cannot be converted into a lord's mineral right, and Shouldham/Shouldham Thorpe allotments must remain separate.

Current stance: FUEL-ALLOTMENT ORIGIN PROVED (1794); RESOURCE USE PROVED; LORD'S PROPRIETARY RIGHT NOT IMPLIED.

Evidence: Earlier minerals/common analysis already separated legal categories.

Notes: Priority: High
Right / Incident: Extraction and resource rights are beneficiary-specific
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Earlier minerals/common analysis already separated legal categories.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: Pass 46 added nine acres of digging ground and a fuel allotment where poor cut peat. Pass 47 fixes the fuel-allotment origin: Charity Commission identifies the 1794 Inclosure Award (P.R. 29.(1) p.520), while White 1845 gives a separate 95-acre Shouldham allotment and a 60-acre Shouldham Thorpe allotment.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: Shows that extractive/resource entitlements were beneficiary- and parcel-specific; the poor-allotment stream cannot be converted into a lord's mineral right, and Shouldham/Shouldham Thorpe allotments must remain separate.
Current Combined Assessment: FUEL-ALLOTMENT ORIGIN PROVED (1794); RESOURCE USE PROVED; LORD'S PROPRIETARY RIGHT NOT IMPLIED.
Connection to Colts: Wider Shouldham/Hare landscape.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: Full 1794 Shouldham award P.R. 29.(1) p.520; full Shouldham Thorpe award; parcel maps; later charity schemes/title.

1943 Forestry Commission operational anchor

Historic status: Earlier official Forest Plan evidence stated that Shouldham Woods management began in 1943 under a 999-year lease from the Hare Estate.

Current legal category: Independently corroborates the 1943 transition into Forestry Commission administration without supplying the lease's proprietary/reservation clauses.

Current stance: PRIMARY ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENCE PROVED BY SEP 1943; ACTUAL LEASE TERMS STILL UNREAD.

Evidence: Earlier official Forest Plan evidence stated that Shouldham Woods management began in 1943 under a 999-year lease from the Hare Estate.

Notes: Priority: Very High
Right / Incident: 1943 Forestry Commission operational anchor
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Earlier official Forest Plan evidence stated that Shouldham Woods management began in 1943 under a 999-year lease from the Hare Estate.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: Pass 47 adds a contemporary Forestry Commission administrative source: the Twenty-Fourth Annual Report lists '140. Shouldham, Norfolk' among Commission units for the year ending 30 September 1943.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: Independently corroborates the 1943 transition into Forestry Commission administration without supplying the lease's proprietary/reservation clauses.
Current Combined Assessment: PRIMARY ADMINISTRATIVE PRESENCE PROVED BY SEP 1943; ACTUAL LEASE TERMS STILL UNREAD.
Connection to Colts: Wider Hare/Stow Shouldham Woods land stream; Colts appurtenance still unproved.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: Actual 1943 lease; Forestry estate/acquisition file; registered freehold/leasehold titles; later variations.

Forestry unit acreage is not title/lease acreage

Historic status: Pass 49 identified a 1,290-acre Shouldham Forestry unit in 1959 and a modern 372ha Shouldham leasehold plan, leaving an apparent size discrepancy.

Current legal category: Administrative/operational forest acreage can change through acquisition, regrouping, disposal or re-survey without proving a corresponding change in the original 1943 legal demise.

Current stance: CORRECTION: DO NOT USE 1,290 ACRES VS 372HA AS DIRECT PROOF THAT THE SHOULDHAM LEASE WAS PARTLY SURRENDERED OR SEVERED.

Evidence: Pass 49 identified a 1,290-acre Shouldham Forestry unit in 1959 and a modern 372ha Shouldham leasehold plan, leaving an apparent size discrepancy.

Notes: Priority: Critical
Right / Incident: Forestry unit acreage is not title/lease acreage
Earlier Rights-Ledger Conclusion: Pass 49 identified a 1,290-acre Shouldham Forestry unit in 1959 and a modern 372ha Shouldham leasehold plan, leaving an apparent size discrepancy.
Newer Pass 38–40 Evidence: Pass 50 adds the missing chronology: 1953 Shouldham was 956 acres; 1954 it rose to 1,290; 1960 the Commission expressly amalgamated Gaywood and Shouldham as Lynn Forest; later reports still call the site 'Lynn Forest, Shouldham'.
12 Feb 1930 Gateway Effect: Administrative/operational forest acreage can change through acquisition, regrouping, disposal or re-survey without proving a corresponding change in the original 1943 legal demise.
Current Combined Assessment: CORRECTION: DO NOT USE 1,290 ACRES VS 372HA AS DIRECT PROOF THAT THE SHOULDHAM LEASE WAS PARTLY SURRENDERED OR SEVERED.
Connection to Colts: Wider Forestry/Hare-Stow land stream; no Colts appurtenance proved.
What Would Prove / Disprove Survival: F37 Lynn/Shouldham/Gaywood working plans; 1953-54 estate/acquisition files; 1943 lease and later variations; HMLR titles.
