An unrecorded collection of documents relating to the drainage of Sedgmoor and the compensation claims of those with Common Rights on the moor. The project, enacted by Parliament was one of the great engineering projects of the 18th century, paralleling the fen drainage of East Anglia and involving 10,654 acres of land in 32 parishes. Billingsley appears to have acted as a recorder and collator of information for the Sedgmoor Claims Commission and all the many manuscript notes, signatures and additions are in his hand. John Billingsley was also the author of ‘A General View of the Agriculture of the County of Somerset’ which was published in 1797. This collection of documents shows the extraordinary and sustained legal requirements necessitated by such a large scale engineering project. In a total of four years the Commission approved 1,798 rights and agreed to £30,566 in compensations. A possibly unique record of a radical alteration to an environment and pattern of land use which had existed for a millenia. (1) £400-600

THE TANNAR–WOODS ROYAL PANTOMIMES ARCHIVE The collection offered here is the combined archive of Mr and Mrs Hubert Tannar and Cyril Woods. Hubert Tannar was the headmaster of the Royal School, Great Park, Windsor, founded by Queen Victoria. Tannar was an accomplished amateur actor, writing, directing and appearing in school performances. During the 1930s the Duke and Duchess of York showed great interest in the Royal School, as did Queen Mary, sending small gifts for the school museum. At Christmas they would go to the annual party and performance provided by the school, accompanied by their two daughters, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret. After the abdication of King Edward VIII in 1936 the Duke and Duchess of York became King George VI and Queen Elizabeth with their eldest daughter Princess Elizabeth now heir to the throne. After the outbreak of war in 1939 the King and Queen spent most of the time in London, returning to Windsor at weekends, while the two princesses lived permanently at Royal Lodge, Windsor. At this time Mr Tannar was approached by the King and Queen with the idea of putting on a concert involving the school children and the Princesses, the proceeds to go to the Royal Household Wool Fund, which provided comforts for the troops. Cyril Woods, a star acting pupil at the school, and of similar age to the Princesses, was chosen to appear in the sketches and met the Princesses formally for the first time during rehearsals. A repeat performance was given and later Princess Margaret came up with the idea for a pantomime. Mr Tannar was invited to write the script and produce, and so the first of four royal pantomimes came into being. The pantomimes produced were Cinderella (1941), starring Princess Elizabeth as Prince Florizel and Princess Margaret as Cinderella and Cyril Woods as Buddy; Sleeping Beauty (1942), starring Princess Elizabeth as Prince Salvador, Princess Margaret as Fairy Thistledown and Cyril Woods as Dick; Aladdin (1943), starring Princess Elizabeth as Aladdin, Princess Margaret as Princess Roxana and Cyril Woods as Widow Twankey; Old Mother Red Riding Boots (1944), starring Princess Elizabeth as Lady Christina Sherwood, Princess Margaret as the Honourable Lucinda Fairfax and Cyril Woods as Mother Hubbard. Hubert Tannar, as well as writing and producing, appeared in Cinderella (Baron Blimp) and Old Mother Red Riding Boots (Sammy Suction). The performances were given in the Waterloo Chamber, Windsor Castle. The Princesses, and Princess Elizabeth in particular, struck up a lasting friendship with the Tannars and Cyril Woods as is clearly shown in this archive. Sadly, Hubert Tannar died in 1948, Princess Elizabeth (soon to be Queen Elizabeth II), maintaining a warm correspondence with his widow until Ethel Tannar’s death in 1975. Ethel left her archive to Cyril Woods, then working as office manager in the Crown Estate Office, Windsor; Cyril adding the collection to his own archive. In 1990 the Queen asked Cyril Woods to write his memoirs of ‘The Royal Pantomimes’ which he duly did, a copy being now held in the Royal Archives. Cyril never married, outlived his sister Iris, and gave his archive to two good Windsor friends who had increasingly looked out and cared for him in his older age. Cyril died in 2001 and it is the family friends who are now selling this collection.

368* Henry VIII - Baron Rich. Letters Patent for £1082 5s 0d, 28 Mar 1545, granting to Richard Rich(e), kt, 1) manor of Newarkes in Good Easter (Goodester, near Chelmsford) in Essex, 2) all the tithes in the manor and in Newlandes Fee in Good Easter, 3) prebends of Passelowes, Imbres, Fawconers and Bowres with the lordships and manors of the same names, 4) the rectory and church of Good Easter, and the advowson of the vicarage, 5) 20 messuages, 1000 acres arable, 200 acres meadow, 600 pasture, 10 acres wood, 200 acres heath and furze and £10 rent in Good Easter, lately belonging to the prebends, with the woods, rents and courts appertaining, all formerly part of the possessions of the monastery of St Peter Westminster and lately of the Dean and Chapter of the cathedral of St Peter Westminster, extended at the clear annual value of £60 2s 6d..., tested by [?Richard] Waller; enrolled [in the Court of Augmentations, TNA LR 1]; examined by T[homas] Powle, an attractive vellum deed with fine initial portrait of Henry VIII, enclosed in a capital H formed of elaborate strapwork, surmounted by the motto VIVAT REX, royal emblems of the Garter, crowned lion carrying a lance with the banner of St George, crowned Tudor rose, dragon carrying a lance with the banner of St George, Prince of Wales feathers confined in a coronet, between the initials EP [Edwardus Princeps] and surmounting the motto IC[H] D[I]EN on a scroll, all set within a sunburst, with the Great Seal in brown wax suspended by green and white cords (some edge loss around the top edge and some rubbing but overall a good intact impression),
A most fine and attractive deed produced two years before King Henry VIII’s death and following the dissolution of the monasteries in which Rich acted as a deputy under Thomas Cromwell. The recipient of this Crown grant, Richard Rich, first Baron Rich (1496/7-1567), has a superlative negative reputation in the annals of English history, being notable for his amorality, financial dishonesty, double dealing, participatory torture of Protestants, perjury and treachery. ‘By the early 1540s Rich had achieved great success as chancellor of the court of augmentations (the largest of the royal revenue courts), whose coffers were swollen with the profits of the dissolutions. The possibilities of such an office were great, and Rich managed to amass a considerable landed estate in Essex, centred on Leighs Priory (a gift from the king in 1536), which he enlarged. The temptations it presented were equally great, however, and several times Rich was called to clear himself of accusations of corruption, as in April 1541 when John Hillary alleged (unsuccessfully) that Rich had defrauded the crown. On 24 April 1544 he was succeeded as chancellor of augmentations by Sir Edward North (previously treasurer of the court), and in the following month Rich was named treasurer of the French war. He spent five months across the channel handling finances and logistics, before resigning and returning to England in November 1544. It was claimed that ill health prompted him to relinquish his treasurership, but his resignation may have been forced, for the king himself had raised questions about Rich’s probity, and had personally challenged his accounts. Despite holding no major office, Rich remained an active privy councillor during the mid-1540s, serving on various commissions and eagerly assisting Edmund Bonner, bishop of London, in pursuing heretics in Essex’ (ODNB online).

Conditions of Sale and Business 1. The Seller warrants to the Auctioneer and the buyer that he is the true owner or is properly authorised to sell the property by the true owner and is able to transfer good and marketable title to the property free from any third party claims.
7. Any representation or statement by the Auctioneer in any catalogue, brochure or advertisement of forthcoming sales as to authorship, attribution, genuineness, origin, date, age, provenance, condition or estimated selling price is a statement of opinion only. Every person interested should exercise and rely on his own judgement as to such matters and neither the Auctioneer nor his servants or agents are responsible for the correctness of such opinions. No warranty whatsoever is given by the Auctioneer or the seller in respect of any lot and any express or implied warranties are hereby excluded.
2. (a) The highest bidder to be the buyer. If during the auction the Auctioneer considers that a dispute has arisen he has absolute authority to settle it or re-offer the lot. The Auctioneer may at his sole discretion determine the advance of bidding or refuse a bid, divide any lot, combine any two or more lots or withdraw any lot without prior notice. (b) Where goods are bought at auction by a buyer who has entered into an agreement with another or others that the other or others (or some of them) shall abstain from bidding for the goods and the buyer or other party or one of the other parties is a dealer (as defined in the Auction Biddings Agreement Act 1927) the buyer warrants that the goods are bought bona fide on joint account.
8. (a) Notwithstanding any other terms of these conditions, if within fourteen days of the sale the Auctioneer has received from the buyer of any lot notice in writing that in his view the lot is a deliberate forgery and within fourteen days after such notification the buyer returns the same to the Auctioneer in the same condition as at the time of the sale and satisfies the Auctioneer that considered in the light of the entry in the catalogue the lot is a deliberate forgery then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the purchase price of the same refunded. "A deliberate forgery" means a lot made with intention to deceive. (b) A buyer's claim under this condition shall be limited to any amount paid to the Auctioneer for the lot and for the purpose of this condition the buyer shall be the person to whom the original invoice was made out by the Auctioneer.
3. The buyer shall pay the price at which a lot is knocked down by the Auctioneer to the buyer (“the hammer price”) together with a premium of 19.5% of the hammer price. Where the lot is marked by an asterisk the premium will be subject to VAT at 23.40% which under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme will form part of the buyer’s premium on our invoice and will not be separately identified (the premium added to the hammer price will hereafter collectively be referred to as “the total sum due”). By making any bid the buyer acknowledges that his attention has been drawn to the fact that on the sale of any lot the Auctioneer will receive from the seller commission at its usual rates in addition to the said premium of 19.5% and assents to the Auctioneer receiving the said commission.
9. Lots may be removed during the sale after full settlement in accordance with 4(d) hereof. 10. All goods delivered to the Auctioneer's premises will be deemed to be delivered for sale by auction unless otherwise stated in writing and will be catalogued and sold at the Auctioneer's discretion and accepted by the Auctioneer subject to all these conditions. In the case of miscellaneous books, the Auctioneer reserves the right to extract and dispose of books that, in the opinion of the Auctioneer at his absolute discretion, have no saleable value and, therefore, might detract from the saleability of the rest of the lot and the Auctioneer shall incur no liability to the seller, in respect of the books disposed of. By delivering the goods to the Auctioneer for inclusion in his auction sales each seller acknowledges that he/she accepts and agrees to all the conditions.
4. (a) The buyer shall forthwith upon the purchase give in his name and permanent address and pay to the Auctioneer immediately after the conclusion of the auction the total sum due. (b) The buyer may be required to pay down during the course of the sale the whole or any part of the total sum due, and if he fails to do so after such request the lot or lots may at the Auctioneer's absolute discretion be put up again and resold immediately. (c) The buyer shall at his own expense take away any lot or lots purchased no later than five working days after the auction day. (d) The Auctioneer may at his own discretion agree credit terms with a buyer and extend the time limits for collection in special cases but otherwise payment shall be deemed to have been made only after the Auctioneer has received cash or a sterling banker’s draft or the buyer's cheque has been cleared.
11. (a) Unless otherwise instructed in writing all goods on the Auctioneer's premises and in their custody will be held insured against the risks of fire, burglary, water damage and accidental breakage or damage. The value of the goods so covered will be the hammer price, or in the case of unsold lots the best bid, or in the case of loss or damage prior to the sale that which the specialised staff of the Auctioneer shall in their absolute discretion estimate to be the auction value of such goods. (b) The Auctioneer shall not be responsible for damage to or the loss, theft, or destruction of any goods not so insured because of the owner’s written instructions.
5. (a) If the buyer fails to pay for or take away any lot or lots pursuant to clause 4 or breaches any other condition of that clause the Auctioneer as agent for the seller shall be entitled after consultation with the seller to exercise one or other of the following rights: (i) Rescind the sale of that or any other lots sold to the buyer who defaults and re-sell the lot or lots whereupon the defaulting buyer shall pay to the Auctioneer any shortfall between the proceeds of that sale after deduction of costs of re-sale and the total sum due. Any surplus shall belong to the seller. (ii) Proceed for damages for breach of contract. (b) Without prejudice to the Auctioneer's rights hereunder if any lots or lots are not collected within five days or such longer period as the Auctioneer may have agreed otherwise, the Auctioneer may charge the buyer a storage charge of £1.00 + VAT at the current rate per lot per day. (c) Ownership of the lot purchased shall not pass to the buyer until he has paid to the Auctioneer the total sum due.
12. The Auctioneer shall remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller thirty days after the day of the auction provided that the Auctioneer has received the total sum due from the buyer. In all other cases the Auctioneer will remit the proceeds of the sale to the seller within seven days of the receipt by the Auctioneer of the total sum due. The Auctioneer will not be deemed to have received the total sum due until after any cheque delivered by the buyer has been cleared. In the event of the Auctioneer exercising his right to rescind the sale his obligation to the seller hereunder lapses.
6. (a) The seller shall be entitled to place a reserve on any lot and the Auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of the seller for any lot on which a reserve has been placed. A seller may not bid on any lot on which a reserve has been placed. (b) Where any lot fails to sell, the Auctioneer shall notify the seller accordingly. The seller shall make arrangements either to re-offer the lot for sale or to collect the lot and may be asked to pay a commission not exceeding 50% of the selling commission and any special expenses incurred in cataloguing the lot. (c) If such arrangements are not made within seven days of the notification the Auctioneer is empowered to sell the lot by auction or by private treaty at not less than the reserve price and to receive from the seller the normal selling commission and special expenses.
13. In the case of the seller withdrawing instructions to the Auctioneer to sell any lot or lots, the Auctioneer may charge a fee of 12.5% of the Auctioneer's middle estimate of the auction price of the lot withdrawn together with Value Added Tax thereon and any expenses incurred in respect of the lot or lots. 14. The Auctioneer’s current standard notices and information (i.e. Collation and Amendments) will apply to any contract with the Auctioneer as if incorporated herein. 15. These conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English Law.
