Papers from the archive of Nathaniel Bacon of Stiffkey, Norfolk, 1546-1622. Autograph letter signed by Agnis Robinson dated 9 November 1608, written from, 'Norwiche here at the Crowner in St. Martins', addressed, 'To Jhon Pintchinge at Styfkey theise', on 1 side 4to paper with address panel on reverse. She sends her commendations to Mr. Pintchinge, her freinds and her mother and hopes to see Pintchinge in Norwich. There is an autograph subscription at the end asking him to recyve 2s (shillings) of Robert Mann.Nathaniel Bacon (?1546-1622), was the second son of Lord Keeper Sir Nicholas Bacon and his first wife Jane, daughter of Thomas Fernely, a Suffolk merchant. Nathaniel Bacon took up residence at Stiffkey Hall with his wife Anne (daughter of Sir Thomas Gresham and Mistress Dutton) in 1578, just two years after building commenced. Through his family Nathaniel close conections with leading figures at Court, especially through his father, Lord Keeper to Elizabeth I, and his father in law Sir Thomas Gresham, who was the Queen's principal financial agent. In 1574, he was appointed a J.P. in Norfolk, an office he held for almost 50 years and which he discharged assiduously. A zealous puritan in religion, he was dedicated to establsighing the puritan ethic in North Norfolk, and through his methodical and meticulous writings amassed a superbly rich archive which reveals politics and religion in action.The Stiffkey archive and other collections, which, together, contain the papers of Nicholas Bacon and his five sons, have provided a unique glimpse into the extended relationships of an important sixteenth-century family. The collection as a whole has long been recognised as one of the main sources for our knowledge of local administration in the late-Tudor and early-Stuart periods. They illuminate the activities of an important county gentleman within a variety of overlapping and interacting communities, ranging from his household and parish to the national scene. (A.

c.1948 Vespa 98 Classic Scooter - Extremely rare late 1940s Vespa scooter - Engine appears to turn over Assisted by our consultant Vespa specialists, this mysterious model has been recognised as a rare Ninety Eight model which was marketed as the first Vespa machine of the late 1940s. Despite deceiving features such as the Scooters fork assembly and engine cover panel from later models, it is believed this bike dates to 1948. No V5c comes alongside the vehicle. Fascinating, rare and beautiful this is a hard to come by opportunity for global Vespa collectors to attain such a specialised and sought after Scooter.

It is noted that the 4-digit marking beneath the seat is presumed to read '9087' however due to decay the last two digits are hard to distinguish. Photos of these digits will be attached as soon as possible.
