Summary of contents:
PARTIES (to the main indenture) Henry BIRKBECK of Norwich, Norfolk. Banker Thomas Osborn SPRINGFIELD of Norwich, Norfolk. Alderman Jane GURNEY of Lakenham, Norfolk. Widow Additional Parties to the 1841 indenture Robert BARCLAY of Lombard Street, City of London. Banker Joseph PEASE of Darlington, County Durham. Merchant SUBJECT The document relates to a mortgage on property in Horning, Norfolk, for £2500 which had originally been made by Thomas Springfield (and Elizabeth his wife) in 1819. In 1831 the mortgage was transferred to Henry Birkbeck in his role as executor of the will of Thomas Gales of North Runcton, Norfolk. In the main indenture (of 1832), Henry Birkbeck is transferring the mortgage to Jane Gurney. Then in the 1841 indenture we are told that Jane Gurney has died having appointed Henry Birkbeck, Robert Barclay and Joseph Pease as her Executors. Thomas Springfield is then repaying the mortgage and the property is being reconveyed to him. The property is described as "All those dwellinghouses, granaries, millhouses, malthouses, baking office, cottages ... with the quays, staithes yards and gardens", together with 48 acres of land. The whole appears to be occupied by Thomas Springfield and about 23 other tenants.
