Gee--Shalcross Deed 1691

John Gee senior, John Gee junior and Joseph Gee had previously mortgaged the property to Reginald Bretland. In this document Breland gives his consent (he has signed with a small armorial seal) for the Gees to sell the property to John Shalcrosse.

The parties sealed the document with a signet seal, impressed into wax on a parchment tag attached to the bottom of the deed. The Gees have all signed with the same seal, a profile portrait of a man’s head. This could have belonged to one of them, or perhaps more likely it was lent to them by the solicitor who drew up the deed.
