Every family of Egginton The bulk of this collection is made up of title deeds and associated documents relating to the family estates Deeds from the Newton Solney and Egginton estates predominate and date back to the 13th century. Other notable series include deeds and leases from the Bowden (now New Mills) area of north-west Derbyshire, dated 1344-1605, deeds relating to the prebend or Rectory of Chardstock in Dorset dated 1581-1752, and small numbers of deeds from Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Cheshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire and Staffordshire Property in these areas is also mentioned in the numerous family settlements, wills and inquisitions post mortem which date from 1306-1881 Only a small number of rentals and surveys have survived, and they do not form a continuous sequence. Perhaps the best survival is a survey and valuation of the Egginton, Newton Solney and Etwall estate dated 1831 (D5236/27/29). Some 14th and 15th century lists of tenants at Newton Solney also survive (D5236/11/1-8), and likewise some 14th and 15th century manorial court rolls from Egginton and Newton Solney (D5236/12/1-21) Other small series include a number of 18th century bonds, bills, receipts and financial accounts, some linked with purchases of property but others probably related to borrowing of money by members of the Every family. Many are associated with the Renison family and seem to relate to their financial difficulties and the eventual sale of their Newton Solney estate to Henry Every in the 1740s. There are also some papers relating to the Every pedigree and a small amount of 18th and 19th century correspondence relating to estate matters. Only one or two scattered items refer to the family's connections with the parish and local area Title deeds before 1733 liable to be in Latin [13th cent]-1927
