Small hand written vellum document measuring 16 inches by 5 inches Written in Latin I cannot read the contents but believe it to be from the reign of James 1st. (Jacobi is mentioned in line 1) I acquired the document with others from the Hook Norton area of Oxfordshire. It came inside a small Victorian envelope with a few hand written details: ‘Sale of land by Thomas Hunt Agnes his wife to John Beckett (?) for 80 £’ I do not know whether this is from the same area though it seems likely. All the other documents had similar envelopes Condition The document itself is complete. Some of the lower right margin is missing. Very small loss to top margin. Slight wear and fading to left edge but ink generally clear and free of fading.
