Will 1633

[mckha489]

Hardwick in the Countie of Norfolk whereof one of them is an oak Grove called Gons Grove
and another of them is a Grove of Elmes and is called Woodhouse Grove and the third of them
is called ….. oft Grove with their and …. of their appurtenances A[n]d also one meadow called



Does it say Gons?   and what are the words where I have dotted.   
Thank you.

It does look like 'Gons Grove' Mckha, although there would seem to be contraction mark over it, so maybe Gonns Grove?
It's a different contraction mark than the one that marks the missing 'a' in 'appurten(a)nces, but I don't know if that's significant.

The missing grove may be Axcroft. (Certainly 'croft' at the end).
Is there another capital A in the will to compare it?

'with their and everie their appurten(a)nces. As also one meadow called'

Also 'Harwicke', 'Norfolke'.

[Bookbox]

I think Oxcroft, rather than Axcroft. (Common form of capital O with two downward strokes.)
Compare the capital A further along the same line.

Thank you Goldie

Do you know what Wyne means?   and what is the word after it on the top line of this clip?


PS. thank you Bookbox. reply in while I was uploading.

Presumably Wyne = wine. Licences were needed to sell wine and beer, etc.

[mckha489]

Oh it’s Sell!  I had my mind on the groves of trees still and thought it was fell. 

[Bookbox]

Oh it’s Sell!

Yes ... severall licences whereby to sell wyne in Norff’ (= standard abbreviation for Norfolk)
