This material is held atUniversity of Nottingham Manuscripts and Special Collections

Administrative / Biographical History

The Hon. Philip Sydney Pierrepont (1786-1864) was the fourth son of Charles Medows Pierrepont, 1st Earl Manvers. In his later years he lived at Eversley Hall, Northamptonshire. These three deeds are a very chance survival, one of which shows his involvement with a debt owed by Ellis Leckonby Hodgson, the owner of Stapleton Park in Yorkshire. None of the deeds have any known connection with the Pierrepont family estates in Nottinghamshire.

Physical Characteristics and/or Technical Requirements

Conditions Governing Use

Identification of copyright holders of unpublished material is often difficult.

Permission to make any published use of any material from the collection must be sought in writing on our Permission to Publish form (see the Reprographics Services part of our website or email mss-library@nottingham.ac.uk)

Reprographic copies can be supplied for educational and private study purposes only, depending on access status and the condition of the documents.

Custodial History

The deeds were deposited at The University of Nottingham via the British Records Association in 2000. Because of their very poor physical condition, access to the originals would not have been possible and would have caused further damage. In 2018 the deeds were flattened and photographed in Manuscripts and Special Collections' digital studio. Access to the deeds is now possible only by viewing the digital images in the Manuscripts and Special Collections Reading Room.

The deeds are part of an artificial collection of material (MS 396) gathered together because the items within the collection have been identified as relating in some way to the Manvers estate or the Pierrepont family.
