Title
Deposition of John Heath of Flitton and Joseph Usher of Blunham, carpenters, on the condition of a small thatched cottage in South Street, Blunham, belonging to the Rector - "a very mean and contemptible building from the beginning, and, at present, so extremely ruinous as to be incapable of being repaired. The said cottage is floored with earth, has no chambers above, and has a wooden chimney in great danger of firing, and almost all the principal timber is broken or quite rotten ... it would be rather a loss, than Advantage, to the present & future Rectors of Blunham to uphold and maintain the said cottage."
sworn before: J.Bromsall, J.P. for the County of Bedford
