| Description | Between William Beeston of London, gent, Fowlke Wym of Boddington, Northants, gent, and George Raleigh, esquire, son of Edward Raleigh of Farnborough, knight. Edward Raleigh had been indebted to William Beeston for £400 and to recover the debt Beeston had obtained in 1619-1620 an indictment in the Court of Common Pleas against Raleigh for £405 (including the cost of suite). Edward Raleigh was outlawed from London by Letters Patent of 15 May 1628 [see CR0457/11/22] Edward Raleigh and his goods, chattels and sources of income were granted to William Beeston for the recovery of the debt. On 25 November 1628 the Sheriff of Warwick was ordered to determine the premises held by Edward Raleigh, and on 6 September 1631 George Devereux, High Sheriff of Warwick set up an inquisition, which found that Raleigh was in possession of the manor of Farnborough, lands called the Skirts of Markham Hill, Ram Close, Lampe Hill, Markham Hole, Windmill Hill and Lady Close and that these lands had a yearly value of £50. The Sheriff then took possession of the manor of Farnborough and the lands appertaining on behalf of the crown, however, at the appointment of George Raleigh, Beeston conveyed his interest in the lands to Fowlke Wym to the use of George Raleigh, on receipt of £300 from Raleigh.
