Footnotes

Document signed by Sir Christopher Hatton (c.1540-1591), a favourite courtier and statesman of Queen Elizabeth I who, in 1576, gave him the Isle of Purbeck with Corfe Castle, and in 1587 made him her Lord Chancellor, whereupon "he rode in state to his inauguration, accompanied by Leicester on one side and Burghley on the other" (ODNB). in 1598 Sir Francis Drake honoured Hatton, his patron and benefactor, by naming the ship he circumnavigated the world in The Golden Hind, a reference to his coat-of-arms.

The Cistercian abbey at Meaux, near Beverley in the East Riding of Yorkshire, had been demolished in 1539, the estate subsequently being leased to the Alford family. "Part of the Crown's estate at Meaux, comprising the site of the former abbey and several closes, and accounting in all for £4 of the annual rental of £27 from the demesne, was granted in reversion to Sir Christopher Hatton in 1586" (A History of the County of York East Riding, Victoria County History, 2002).

Provenance: Phillips, 28 March 1985, lot 497.
