Whereas upon the Report of the Grand Comittee to the last
Generall Court and the Hearing of Henry Collier< no role > our Tennant of the
Demeasnes of the Mannor of Alvethlye in Essex who prayed some allowance
from the Hospitall in Consideration of the very great and unfore seen
Charges and Expences which he had been put to in makeing a New
Wall to secure the Marsh Grounds from being over Clowed by the Thames
and otherwise about the said Estate It was agreed that He should be acused
from building of the New House upon the Uplands till Lady Day 1716:
which by his Lease should have been Built before Michas 1708: and
that the Consideration of an Allowance for his said Charges and Expences
should be Deferred till towards the End of his Lease and that frequent
Views should be made of the said New Wall to see whether the same
continued Firme and in good Order and the said Henry Collier< no role > happening
to Dye since the said last Court Sarah Collyer< no role > his Widdow and Relief
hath humbly Represented to us the Hard Circumstances in which she and
her Children are Left by her said late husband Occasioned as the Alledges
be his Great and Extraordinary Charge and Expences about the said New
Wall and otherwise Relateing to this Estate And praying that she may
be wholly Excused from Building the sd: New House on the Uplands or
otherwise Considered for the same

Views taken of
be New Walls and
[..] sh Ground at
Alvethley


Wee thereupon Begg Leave to acquaint this Court that Severall
Views have been taken of the said New Wall and of the said Marsh Ground
and uplands and the Buildings thereupon since the said last Court as well
as formerly by severall of the members of this Comittee by whom we are
informed that the said New Wall appeares to be well made and Continues
Firme and will in all probability be a Reall and Lasting Security to the
said Marsh Grounds and that the said Henry Collyer< no role > Dub soon after he
Took the said Lease at a great Expence Repaire the old House standing
at the Entrance into the said Marsh Grounds called the Marsh foot House
which when he look the said Lease was in a very Ruinous Condition
and Unfitt for Habitation and that there are three other Houses
already upon the Uplands One of which is Scituate neare Alvethlye Church
and is a Large Farm house haveing Barnes Stables and other Houses belonging
thereunto and lyes very Comodiasly for the Greatest part of the Uplands which
are now Lett be the said Mr: Collyer to One Mr Church who Dwellsin that
House and we apprehend that the Reason why the sd: Henry Collyer< no role > was
obliged in his Lease to build the said New House on the uplands was that the
said Marshfoot House was then so very Ruinous as aforesaid that it was harely
thought worth Repairing and that a New House might be built on the uplands
which might serve both for the uplands and the Marsh Grounds But the
said Henry Collyer< no role > (as we are Informed) findeing that cattle in the said Marsh
grounds could not be Duely Looked after, without the said Marsh fool House
which stands in the most Convenent place for over looking the said Marsh
Grounds thought fitt to be at the Charge of Repairing the said House [..]
makeing it fitt - for his Family though not obliged thereto by his said Lease
