It says Resworn 

ie they have reevaluated the worth of the estate and sworn to the revised figure £123,365 (important if there are taxes to pay)
James Stott c1775-1850. James was born in Yorkshire but where? He was a stonemason and married Elizabeth Archer (nee Nicholson) in 1794 at Ripon. They lived thereafter in Masham. If anyone has any suggestions or leads as to his birthplace I would be interested to know. I have searched for it for years without success. Thank you.

That was quick! Thanks very much.  :) (more than £6million in today's money, supposedly)
