A number of people found the earlier "Old Handwriting" example useful so today I have a much longer document.
In 1819 Richard Oakley lent John Thrussell £600 pounds on the surety of property at Bendish, St Pauls Walden. This document records the transaction. Because it was copyhold property the property was part of the Manor of St Pauls Walden the document was called a conditional surrender because the ownership of the property was dependent on the repayment of the mortgage and due interest.
Read below to see the complete document or go to Conditional Surrender, 1819, St Pauls Walden for the document and a full transcription
