Source Notes:

One of the conditions of sale caught my eye:

The title shall commence with the Will of Captain Philip John Budworth, who died in 1885 and no evidence shall be required of the Testator's seisin or ownership, and the Purchaser shall not require the production of or investigate or make any requisition or objection in respect of prior title, whether the same shall appear or be in the Vendors' possession or power or not. The purchaser shall accept as conclusive evidence of the death of the Testator's grandson, Guy Williams Stuart Morgan, on a before the 25th day of September, 1915, a certificate of the War Office dated the 5th day of May, 1916, whereby it was certified that it appeared from the records of that Office, that Second Lieutenant (Temporary Captain) Guy Williams Stuart Morgan, Royal Welsh Fusiliers, was killed in action either in France of Belgium on the 25th day of September, 1915.
