PARTIES
Nathan Hopkins of Messingham, Lincolnshire. Yeoman.
John Hildyard of Glamford Briggs, Lincolnshire. Ironmonger.

SUBJECT
Nathan Hopkins is mortgaging property in Messingham, Lincolnshire, to John Hildyard for £330. It consists of two new allotments of land totalling 7 acres bounded on the East by the Highway from Messingham to Brigg and one other new allotment of one-and-half acres.

All of these allotments arose out of an Enclosure Act for Messingham of 1797, and were probably allocated in exchange for a number of smaller parcels spread throughout the parish.
