Title
Ollands Estate Sale Brochure 1883 (Modern Copy)
Date
1993
Description
Facsimile reprint made in 1993 by the Reepham Society of the large original sale document. It includes an estate map with all 16 lots described & two sketches of the house.
The original copy was apparently in possession of James Vardigans who purchased Lot 13, two of the cottages on the hill on Station Road, immediately next to the current car park, for the sum of £180. The descriptions of each lot give details of the tenant occupiers and any requirements to be carried out after sale. For instance, the purchasers of Lot 2, workers' cottages that still exist today, were required to block off the doorways that led into the Ollands grounds. Other lots stipulated the erection of a fence, and the use of pumps or wells.
