TitleWill of Nicholas Garlecke of Thornsett (co. Derby)
Date1 Aug 1564
DescriptionIn the preamble to a very complicated document he states he has been a great traveller and had weighty affairs under Thomas, late Duke of Norfolk and Lord Thomas Howard, his younger son, and has been 'dyverse tymes putt in feare that for matters of account and other dutyes or demands to or by theyme', his lands might be put in execution or encumbered; he has therefore had writings and devices made at different times, but now declares his last will. He states he has levied a fine, and that all his lands are held in socage tenure. He has taken care to avoid all ambiguities or doubts that might be used on behalf of Margaret, his disobedient daughter, of whom he can have no good hope and does 'with Seynte Paule affirme she hath lost or caste away her former faith and credence', wife of his dearley beloved son-in-law, William Nedham. He leaves his lands, tenements, etc., in Hardwickwall and Hill to his wife Agnes, for life, as her jointure; other property (not very clearly stated) to be sold to provide for the eight daughters of William Nedham by the said daughter Margaret; to George, second son of William Nedham, a yearly rent of £4; to Otwell Nedham, son and heir of William Nedham, all his manors, lands, etc., in tail male, to whom he also leaves his plate (specified) under certain conditions.
