Can't decipher the surname...

Look for an Abstract or Epitome of Title. Some go back to the Manor, like our village Ale-house sold by the Manor in 1766. The 1766 transaction was also formally recorded on the reverse of an 1800 Conveyance.

The earliest new owners (1766 - 1813) of the Pub were listed in a page of the Manor Rent Book listed as paying a 'Fee Farm or Quit Rent', also with a reference to the last two Manorial Tenants (named), who were then found in an earlier Manorial Survey and Manor Rental.

Other Abstracts don't go back that far. The Registry once told me that some old properties have also been separated out of other neighbouring property Deeds.

Thanks again Mark.

I looked at the various documents from Land Registry. In the 1936 collection of documents I found the 'abstract of the title of the trustees of the will of Sir Henry Sutton deceased to freehold hereditaments at Shardlow...'

There's a bit of a history of the Sutton family that I need to get to grips with. There is also a schedule detailing the property owned around Shardlow and beyond... I've attached this as a photo - it shows the hall was let by O. Wyatt who also also let the Dower House.

Lots more to look at...

Hello Matt

William Hood
I was wondering if William Hood might be mentioned amongst your collection of earlier documents, who was mentioned in the 1831 Will of James Sutton, please?

Wyatt of Shardlow
Searched Wyatt of Shardlow and the main newspaper references are to O. P. Wyatt letting the village hold the Fete in the grounds of the Hall, not much else.

General
The big lengthy Abstract of Title of my Hood ancestor went back to the Lord of the Manor who was being propped up by Bankers, prior to an 1835 Sale of part of the Manor.

Two of his Sons were later Jurors at the Manor Court.

Thanks, Mark

Hello Matt

1831 Will of James Sutton of Shardlow, Derbyshire.

Apparently, land near Cavendish Bridge, called Dukes Piece with appurts in the several occupations of Thomas Turner, William Hood and Thomas Winfield Boat Captain ...

Thank you, if you come across anything in the future, Mark

Thanks again Mark for your input on this. I will of course keep an eye open for William Hood.

I've been filling in some census details today. There is no mention of The Villa in the 1861,71,81 and 91 census records but there is a good possibility that John Eaton, Rector of Shardlow in all 4 of these is the person I am looking for. He dies in 1897 and has a useful annotation in the burial record stating he was rector for 45 years. The next burial at the churchyard a few days later sounds rather gruesome mind you!

"Eaton rector" search

Marriage of Mary Sutton daughter of James Sutton

Numerous newspapers 1st to 12th November 1864
Cantrell-Sutton On Thursday, the 27th ult., Shardlow, Derbyshire, by the Rev. John Eaton, rector, the Rev. W. H. Cantrell, of King’s Newton, to Mary, eldest daughter of James Sutton, Esq., Shardlow Hall.

It does seem in the 1861 Census that John Eaton was occupying the property.

Many thanks Mark.

I will do a more comprehensive search of the Eaton family. The Cavendish Bridge Brewery buildings are still in existence but now a sorry state of car workshops, scaffolders and metal recycling units but look to have a fascinating history when the time is available to investigate.

I did find out that Mary Sutton from 1841 was the aunt of James Sutton Esq. More work to do on that one.

I was aware that Shardlow Manor has been the rectory in the past - that was the line from the heritage centre. I think we have shown that The Villa/Dower House was at one stage also the rectory but I will discuss with the heritage centre in future.

What do you use to find the newspaper articles?

Out of interest, I haven't looked at the 1921 census - just wondering what search term would be needed to find the right page to buy the image.

Thanks again.
