Feoffment of Thornton - 1461 ...

Well what a beautiful day it has been today .. it surely can't be a bank holiday! We've been out and about with the dog but I won't say where as I think that might make the quiz just a bit too easy. Whilst I was rooting around in the undergrowth somebody actually noted my numberplate .. didn't think I looked like a hooligan (must be the new nose piercing which if anyone tells you doesn't hurt .. they are lying).

I've had some permissions to reproduce through from the Records Office but with a bit of a twist. There are about 100 records which are almost entirely about Thornton and they turn out not to be owned by the Records Office but privately. They are having to write for permission so am having to hold back on some of the records.

I have added a new section on the website called 'Documents' which now contains:

'Feoffment of Thornton-le-Fylde - 1461' which is in latin but I have included a translation (I made that sound like I'd translated it didn't I). It doesn't contain a lot of information but is a great document none the less.

'Lease for Thornton Hall - 1723/4' which is in legal speak and is quite tough going but worth having a look.

I've decided to set up another website which is just to host some of the photos of the documents as even though the main site (http://www.thornton.btik.com/) has great features I am limited to the number of photos I can have and the size has to be quite small too. The Lease was 15 photos on it's own. Any links to the other site will open in a new window to avoid confusion.

I've also added a new pic 'Farm Workers and Marsh Mill' in the Gallery section as well. Haven't I been a busy bee.


Now for the Quiz
