HASTINGS
(Lady Elizabeth, 1682-1739, Benefactor and Philanthropist)
Fine Document signed
appointing George Stead of Wetherby as gamekeeper for the " Manors of Thorparch Collingham ... in the County of York to look after and take care to preserve the Game there and to also allow in my name full and free Liberty License and Authority to hunt hawk fish and fowl within my manors aforesaid for my use from time to time...", 1 side folio, Leadstone, 9th September 1738, a few years later, after the death of Lady Elizabeth, the deed was used as a basis for a later grant of the same office, by W.G. of Skelton in the North Riding to George Stead for Thorp Arch only in 1748. The grant therefore has some corrections and words added but the original remains clear, save for the two manor names, the signature of Lady Hastings is unaffected, on the second page there is an endorsement by Thomas Pulleyn, Clerk of the Peace for West Riding, that this game warrant was registered in the records of the Sessions of the Peace on 4th October
