Biographical history
The provenance of these deeds is uncertain. In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries the lordship of Wrockwardine was held by the Lestrange family, but the Charleton family, lords of Powys, also had links with that area. It is possible that the deeds are connected with the early history of Overley Hall, Wrockwardine, which formed part of the Glascoed or Llanforda estates, acquired respectively through marriage and purchase by Sir William Williams in the second half of the seventeenth century.

Scope and content
Six mediaeval deeds concerning lands mainly situated in Wrockwardine, Shropshire, [1289x1324]-1336. The grantors include Fulk Lestrange, lord of Wrockwardine and William, Abbot of Shrewsbury. Other parties and witnesses named are Adam le Despenser and members of the Lochard family of Wrockwardine. Two of the deeds refer to a piece of field called Vedelye, which appears to be the subject of a family settlement between Walter, rector of Culmington, his sister, Godithe and Adam Lochard, her son, 1327 and 1336.
