Staindrop
The following collection of documents concerns a number of closes and a house in the township of Staindrop between 1607 and 1693. The properties were formerly parts of the College and Rectory of Staindrop
or of the manors of Staindrop and Raby, and were forfeit to the crown in 1570 on the treason of Charles Neville, Earl of Westmorland. After some earlier transactions, most of the properties were included, among other
things, in a lease by James I, 10 January 1617, for the use of the Prince of Wales who later, 25 September 1628, sold them in fee.
Thus as they changed hands in the following decades some of them were conveyed by an Assignment of James I's lease for 99 years, some by a Bargain and Sale in fee, and for some, both transactions seem to have been thought necessary. In the 1650's
and 1660's most of the properties were acquired by Luke Latham, first described as of Raby Castle, then of Hampstead Marshall in Berkshire. In 1679 his widow conveyed them to William Hutchinson of Barnard Castle, who purchased another close in
1693.
In the later deeds the boundaries of some of the closes are described and it is possible to identify them in the Tithe Apportionment and plan for the township of Staindrop when a number of them were still in the possession of a William
