Vellum. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. First. Manuscript copy taking up 113 pages (approx one third) of a large vellum bound notebook, with a contemporary red morocco label lettered in gilt to the front boards, "Sutton Award 1768", and a new red morocco label to the spine with similar gilt lettering. Book plate of Charles Louis Farret. This 1856 copy was authorised by John Charlesworth and JGJ Meek; an 1843 copy was authorised by William Stead, a Hull Solicitor, and John London, his clerk. This copy is clear and legible. "The inclosure of the open fields and commons was carried out under an Act of 1763, the award being made in 1768. The Act recited that there were about 780 a. of open-field land, lying in East, West (or Carr Side), North Carr, and Clough Fields. The commonable meadows and pastures of the Balks, Sutton Ings, Carr Side Meadow, and Risholme Carr contained about 1,200 a. There were about 700 a. in East Carr, the Salts, Bransholme, and North Lands, and in these four pastures there were about 640 cattle-gates. Finally, the commons contained about 1,500 a. and included Sutton, Stoneferry (or West Carr), and North Carr Commons. The inclosure may have been instigated by Charles Pool, who owned the tithes as well as several farms." (from VCH, 1969).
