LETTER, Signed, from Somerset Place, to George Tucson, Northover House, 22 February 1811,
SOMERSET. NORTHOVER. ROBERT GRAY of DUCHY OF CORNWALL.

concerning the disputed title of a cottage in Northover; 4pp.

Northover was a small parish now part of Ilchester. On the conjugate leaf, are copies of two earlier letters about the dispute one from Gray and another from Edward Scadding stating how he came to own it. The Duchy Of Cornwall claimed they owned the cottage as part of the manor of Stoke sub Hamdon, but did not have a rental record. George Tucson was a solicitor who built Northover House. The cottage was occupied by John Sugg, a shoemaker. It is recorded his house was used for nonconformist religious meetings in 1815.
