Valuation of Estates

Scope and Content

Valuation of the Thorold estates in Millington and Rostherne made by James Stelfox, to determine the proportions of the £55,000 purchase price to be paid by Wilbraham Egerton and Lord Grey.

The tenant's name, annual value and total value of each property is given. Egerton's share (16 farms, 20 cottages and manorial rights) is calculated at £42,183, including an adjustment of £5371 6s 4d to make up the difference between Stelfox's valuation and the higher purchase price. Grey's share (6 farms, 2 cottages and a parcel of land) is calculated at £12,817, including an adjustment of £1632 3s.
