Gaspar Manor, Somersetshire, Great Britain. Bailiff's accounts. 1764-1799 84 pieces in one folder.
Immediate Source of Acquisition note
LCP purchase: Peter Murray Hill.
Scope and Contents note
Bailiff's accounts of the manor of Gaspar from Lady Day, 1764-1799. Accounts are addressed to Colonel Sir Isaac Rebow, owner
from circa 1764 to 1782. After 1782 they are addressed to Mrs. Mary Rebow and the executors of the estate. Martin Shepherd
was bailiff from 1764 until 1783. His son Charles became bailiff between 1783 and 1799, but the year is uncertain as records
for this period are wanting. The accounts include a valuation of the estate made in 1772 by George Sangslor, as directed by
Thomas South, then steward of the estate. This gives annual realization from farm rentals and cutting of timber as 280. Receipts
for payment for work done on the estate by the Shepherd family and other tenents indicate repairs made, wood cut, et cetera.
Receipts for 1799 bear a two- pence stamp. Land tax, poor rates, and church rates are also noted.
