Deeds and documents received from Farrer & Co. of Lincolns Inn Fields, London, solicitors, per the British Records Association (parcel 2749) in October 1999 (NLW acc. no. C1999/12). These papers are supplemental to the Ormathwaite Papers, and mainly relate to the marriage settlement, mortgages, bankruptcy, receivership and executorship of Arthur Henry John Walsh (1859-1937), third baron Ormathwaite. The papers were accumulated by partners of Farrer & Co. who acted for Marquis Camden, Ormathwaite’s brother-in-law and main creditor, as well as acting as Ormathwaite’s estate receiver after his bankruptcy, and acting for his executors after his death. Included are papers relating to estates in Radnorshire, the Warfield Park estate (Bracknell, Berkshire), the Ormathwaite Hall estate (Keswick, Cumberland) and various freehold and leasehold properties in London and Middlesex, as well as a very few papers relating to the unsaleable remnants of an Irish estate (Counties Cork and Kerry).
