Manuscript volume containing an inventory resulting from a curia baron held in 1608 at eleven manors in Gloucestershire and Worcestershire owned by Ralph Sadleir, which he inherited following his father's death in 1607. The survey lists more than 480 tenants of the estates with a legal description of their relationship to the manor. Includes marginal notes dating up to 1618, perhaps beyond.
Sadleir, Ralph (1579-1661) was born in Standon, Hertfordshire, eldest son to Sir Thomas Sadleir and Gertrude Markham. He was grandson to Sir Ralph Sadler, also spelled "Sadleir" (1507-1587), who was a statesman during reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI, and Elizabeth I. Sadleir married Anne Coke in 1601. The couple had no children.
