Indenture from Buckinghamshire

Manuscripts

This indenture is for "divers Manors and Hereditaments being the Buckingham Estates" between Francis Barchard, William Woodgate, Richard, 2nd Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, Richard 3rd Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, and William Henry, Baron Leigh of Stoneleigh. This indenture was in extremely fragile condition, with significant loss of text; in 2003, the Huntington Conservation Department encapsulated each page in mylar so the pages cannot now be removed from the mylar sleeves.
