We are very g
rateful to the owners of Forge Cottage for their generosity in allowing us to make over 70 images from numerous documents relating primarily to the history of the property and its occupants.
The 13th lot comprises two documents. One is dated the 17th August 1950 and is a schedule of deeds of Rose Cottage now known as Forres Cottage (2011 – known to us as Forge Cottage). The second is an Assent dated 17th August 1950 made by Kathleen Bassett Banister of Forres Cottage, Henham. She records that her sister Eleanor Kate Banister died on the 25th September 1949 having by her will, dated the 25th January 1938, given all her property to Kathleen.
