There is a third document from this time, a deed of covenant for the production of title deeds, dated 27 April 1811, between William Blagg (late of Scarrington, now of The Red Lodge, which still exists on the Fosse Road) and James Horsepool. Blagg had owned other properties which were included in the original title deeds and in this document Horsepool agrees Blagg can retain these documents provided Horsepool can have access when he needs it (at the proper cost and charges). The schedule lists the documents, which are all those referred to in the abstract of title prepared for Horsepool when he bought the property. This is why these are not in the present bundle.
The next abstract of title was drawn up in 1895. We do not know when James Horsepool died to be succeeded by John. There is no mention in any abstracts of James leaving property to John.
John Horsepool died on 30 March 1873. The abstract records that in his will of 12th March 1868 he appointed as executors George Hassall, farmer of Shelford (presumably of the family of the Earl of Chesterfield's well known Agent, John Hassall who died in 1859), Robert Brewster (farmer of Bingham) and John Wilkinson Wright (miller of Bingham). He left his houses and premises in Church Street, now in the occupation of John Wilkinson Wright, to his widow, Ann Horsepool for life and after her decease to his sister Elizabeth Brewster, of Denton, Lincs and after her demise to his nephew John Brewster. He left the remainder of his estate in Bingham, consisting of other houses (including next door number 17) and buildings to his sister and then his nephew. There is no mention of children of John Horsepool so presumably there were none.
Up to this point there has been no mention of there being two houses (numbers 17 and 19) when James Horsepool had bought only one of the two cottages. This point is clarified in a fascinating set of questions before contract, which themselves reveal that the language of lawyers has a long history!
