PARTIES Harry Newland Esquire Lord of Broadwater Manor William Tribe Gentleman, Steward of the manor John Holden of Broadwater, Sussex. Miller Ann Henry late of Cockhill Ratcliffe, Middlesex but now of Heath Street, Commercial Road, Stepney, Middlesex. Widow George Baker of Devonport, Devon. Mariner SUBJECT This is a record of the General Court Baron of the Manor of Broadwater, Sussex, at which George Baker and Ann Henry are selling property to John Holden. Accordingly they are surrendering it to the Lord of the Manor, after which John Holden is being admitted to it. We are told that their title to the property arises out of the will of Henry Norton in which he left 7 acres of copyhold land in the manor to his niece Ann Baker, the wife of William Baker, for her lifetime. After her death it was to be divided equally among her 7 surviving children : Robert, Ann, Thomas, Henry, Mary, George and Susan (of whom Ann and George are now selling their shares).
