by (Manuscript) Bartlett, Richard, Alice Rose
Gloucestershire, England, 1689. Pen and ink on one parchment membrane (305 x 540 mm). Cut vertically down the center, with significant loss of text. Verso worn, but text on recto clear and bright. Pen and ink on one parchment membrane (305 x 540 mm). Confirmation of the rights of Alice Rose of Gloucestershire. The parties involved in this document hailed from Bourton-on-the-Hill and Nether Swell, Gloucestershire, both in the Cotswolds district of England. The document, which has been cut in half vertically (a contemporary practice for such documents) appears to concern the rights of widows.
