A 
DERBYSHIRE AARCHLOLOGICAL 
AND 
NATURAL plistory DOCIETY, 
FisbDBervbert and other Charters. 
EDITED BY THE Rey. REGINALD H. C. FirzHERBERT. 
“mY HE twenty-two ancient deeds hereafter printed, were 
lately presented to Sir William FitzHerbert, of Tissing- 
ton, Bart., by Fitzherbert Widdrington (zé Jacson), of 
Bewton Hall, Alnwick, Esq., grandson of the Rev. Roger Jacson, 
_of Bebington, to whom Richard Fitzherbert, of Somersal, the last 
heir male of his family, left all his real and personal estates in 
1803. 
_ The text, which is much contracted throughout these deeds, 
has been transcribed in extended form ; but in a few cases where 
- the full form of the words was doubtful they are copied literatim. 
Nos. 1, 5, and 6-12 are dated conjecturally by the officials 
at the P.R.O. and B.M. No. 5 has, perhaps, been assigned a 
“date somewhat too early. 
The letters u and v are transcribed as they occur in the deeds ; 
but the peculiar use of i and j has not been adhered to in tran- 
scription.
