Saxton (Christopher). Original manuscript estate plan of an area to the west of Wakefield, Yorkshire, dated 1601, drawn in ink on paper, the title contained within an ornate cartouche and reading 'A Plat of Mr Pilkinton his Landes, belonging to the old Haule, & new Haule, in the parish of Wakefield, Made by Christopher Saxton. Ano 1601', with separate compass rose, scale of distance surmounted by dividers and a circular crest depicting the Pilkington seal of a mower with scythe, each field marked with tennants name, some faded original yellow colour marking the boundaries, creased where previously folded and with some areas of loss confined to the borders, lightly spotted and laid onto linen, the sheet measuring 803 x 767 mm An extremely scarce example of an original manuscript estate plan by Christopher Saxton (c.1543-c.1610) who is less well known as a local estate surveyor although it was the profession that dominated his later years. The title cartouche incorporates the initials of Christopher's son Robert who was then aged about sixteen and was probably given the task of drawing up the map although the writing is in Christopher's hand. The scale is sixteen perches to one inch which equates to about 92 meters to an inch. The area mapped is bounded on the north by 'The Waie from Halifax to Wakefield' and from north-east to south by an unnamed watercourse with a road traversing the southern third on the route of the present Horbury Road.

(2) Portrait photograph of Fishbourne in dress uniform (3) Two LS, each 2pp 8vo Aug 1908 from JEB Sealy Under- Secretary, Colonial Office to Churchill and Edward Marsh regarding Churchill's efforts to find suitable employment for Fishbourne. 'If his character is half as nice and interesting as his letter he must be an exceptional person. '...quite agree with what Winston says he is...that he ought to be taken care of and promoted as soon as possible'. The letters to Churchill also refer to Churchill's escape from a fire at Burley on the Hill where Churchill was staying for his brother's wedding. ('What a shame the things you were saving were inanimate. Had they only been live babies you would have been awarded a medal'). These letters were presumably passed on by Churchill and Marsh to Fishbourne to show that something was being done for him. (4)
