GB 0074 ACC/0945 · Collection · 1699-1966

The records chart the transfer of property within the family through the generations, beginning with a copy of the manorial court roll showing the acquisition of a cottage in Pinner Street, Harrow, by Mary Bodymaid {sic} in 1699 {ACC/0945/001}. In 1710 William Bodymead acquired cottages on Clay Hill, in the Manor of Bushey; which by his will of 1738 were divided between his three youngest sons {ACC/0945/003}. The rest of the estate passed to William's widow and to his eldest son, also called William. This William Bodimead was contemplating a partnership with his eldest John in 1767, which gave rise to the 'Rest Book or Inventory' {ACC/0945/014}, which is quite extensively detailed. Also worth noting is the inventory from 1789, covering the goods and chattels of the deceased Ann Bodymeade, who was presumably the widow and mother of the aforementioned William and John. The latest records are two letters from 1966 from Philip Blackwell to Miss A.M. Pollard (reference librarian in the London Borough of Harrow at that time) offering background on these papers which had belonged to his grandfather.
