This document is basically a mortgage. It refers to
a mortgage the previous year for £1,000 secured on properties mainly in
Llangattock Lingoed and then to a further £1,000 secured against
properties in Abergavenny, Grosmont, Llangybi, Llantilio Crossenny, Whitecastle
and Skenfrith purchased by Edward Morgan the Elder or Charles Morgan. It is
in fact a copy of the original, made in 1733, when it was then in the hands
of Capel Hanbury. This suggests that the mortgage was never redeemed and that
the various properties came into the possession of the Hanbury family.
Only the first part of the document, dealing with properties in Llangattock
Lingoed, is reproduced below.
