A RENTAL OF KIRK LEVINGTON AND HIGH WORSAL ESTATES

The manors of Kirklevington and High Worsal were part of an involved dispute in Chancery. George Bowes, who married Mary Gibbs, as she then was, granted her as a jointure £1600 per annum out of the estate. The estate was subsequently mortgaged after the death of George Bowes, the mortgage not being serviced. Repossession proceedings were initiated, but Mary Bowes it was held was still entitled to the £1600 rents out of the manors. These were administered by Thomas Adam, solicitor, of Alnwick, Northumberland.
