| Administrative History | The records in this collection derive from the practice of Andrew Macbeth, Cash and Co., and predecessors as solicitors in Wirksworth including Stone and Symonds and Arthur de Milt Severne. They reflect the firms' range of clients including local government, business, civil society and gentry families.
Some records originate in the activities of the solicitors outside their practice work, as stewards to the Barmote Court and Wirksworth Manor Court.
The estate papers are largely drafts and office copies, but are generally accompanied by an original signed agreement including special conditions and purchase price, on the reverse of the particulars of sale. |
