The Annesley family first began to
purchase property at Bletchington in
1664, when Arthur (I), Earl of Anglesey
bought the Manor House of Bletchingdon
(later known as Bletchingdon Park). Over
the next 250 years, the family bought
much of the property in the village.
This section contains papers concerning
these properties before they were
purchased by the Annesleys. 1D-10D
concern properties which were once
part of Bletchingdon Manor; the
other properties have no explicit
link with them. E6/6 below contains
papers concerning property at
Bletchingdon and elsewhere in
Oxfordshire under Annesley possession.
