Thread: Looking for Will left by a Farmer in the Stockport Cheshire Region

Hi all,

This request is new to me but I wonder if a member can point me in the right direction as regards
seeking out a will, although I don't know when the will was made, so I hope what info I give will be enough.

This is regards a school set for closure in 2012, apparently a will was left via a farmer as regards the school playing fields and the request was that it had to be used for educational purposes. The school itself was built in 1965 (checked this out on google)

I know this maybe a difficult request but if someone can lead me down the right path I'd be eternally grateful.


Thanks.

Hello Pauline

I presume you are talking about a Covenanted piece of land and / or left in Trust for a specific purpose with clauses oattached to it......I would be surprised if the legal document ( copy of) wasn't attached to the information held by the Council...but yes you should be able to access....

You need to know who the Donor was then pick it up from Death certificates follow through on HMCS site for a copy of the will, you can look for this in the Manchester office on Bridge Street ( opp side to tax office!)

e mail me with details and I will have a lok around for you......

In Abersoch there is a Village Hall, built on land left to the communiyt, one of the restrictions/covenants imposed was that no alcohol was to be drunk / served on the premises, and that was in 1950.. to this day the residents uphold that request, so cups of tea only are served at any functions held there .....
