Summary of contents:
PARTIES Thomas NOWELL of Barrowford, Lancashire. Farmer. Christopher GRIMSHAW of Barrowford, Lancashire. Cotton Spinner. William BALDWIN of Barrowford, Lancashire. Wireworker. Thomas HARGREAVES of Barrowford, Lancashire. Gentleman. (The 3 latter names are the Trustees of the Barrowford Victoria Benefit Building Society) SUBJECT The document begins by reciting a "Surrender" of the same date (27/6/1851) in which Thomas Nowell and Jane his wife have surrendered property in Barrowford, Lancashire to the Trustees of the Barrowford Building Society. The property consists of a plot of land, part of Stack Field, containing 310 sq.yds and with 4 dwelling houses erected thereon. The Surrender was in consideration of £120, and this Indenture is a covenant to repay the loan. (This all looks as though it must be a straightforward mortgage - but the arrangement of a Surrender and Deed of Covenant is not something that I have come across before.)
