Francis Almaric Baron Churchill and Henry Raikes of the land (being of freehold and copyhold tenure) to secure 12000 and interest at 5% p.a. (3 10s.% p.a. given regular payment by specified dates). It also recites death of FALC (March 1845); deed of 30 July 1845, appointing Nathaniel Bridges as Mortgagee/releasee upon trust to reassign the principal and interest and to hold to the uses of FGLC, CD and HND; Transfer dated 31 Jul 1845 from NB to HR, FGLC, CD and HND of the principal and interest; Deed of 20 Nov 1849 between EL/RL (1) and FGLC/HR/CD/HND (2) altering the rate of interest to 4% p.a.A Memorandum dated 21 April 1858 on the 1857 deed records that the acting steward of the Manor of Biggleswade certified that none of the mortgaged lands were of copyhold tenure.In his will dated 12 Apr 1878 RHL devised to his eldest son Henry Martin Lindsell all his realty (including land purchased since the death of his father) in Biggleswade and Northill; and appointed CSL, HML and Arthur Knox Lindsell executors.
