Manuscript map, 630 x 570 mm. with outline hand colouring, old creases, mounted on linen and laid down on card. Signature of W. Padwick to top right hand corner. William Padwick [1791 - 1861] was a significant figure in the development of Hayling Island in the nineteenth century. He bought the Manor from the Duke of Norfolk, and as Lord of the Manor he was active in enforcing his rights over tithes, ferries and mud rights, but especially his rights over the oyster beds for which the area was famed. The key bears references to many of these rights with dates of enforcement at trial at Winchester Court over many years, the last dated 1843 over his rights to the "Wine Wreck" the ship "Tyro.".
