Will of Thomas Frederick Middleton Case, deceased.
North Norfolk District Council surveyor has placed a closing order on the cottage - await confirmation of alternative accommodation being provided.
[Closing Order can mean a house cannot be occupied until works are carried out - sometimes it is followed by demolition]
Intention to exercise right of way?
West Norfolk District Council (1974-)Fr Coughlan has recently left the property and it will be let to Mr Barry George Baker who works for Walsingham Shrine. The original 1971 lease was prepared by Witham Weld but no copy held by C Toller. If they still have a copy can they use it to establish a lease for Mr Baker from 1 January
Toller, Christopher FRICS FSVA ACIArbRegarding the estate of the late Sir RL Bagge. Many old files had been destroyed after a reorganisation due to a loss of storage space. Trustees could not give release to the covenants as the land was acquired in the 1930s by Unifex Ltd.
Correspondentpg1: letter: Site purchased for new church at Gaywood - £27,000 not preferential rate so should not be any restrictions. Outline planning permission obtained; boundary to be marked with concrete markers or fence, if required by school.

Confirming terms of sale agreed. Details enclosed. Father Wilson has been asked to provide the deeds
Toller, Christopher FRICS FSVA ACIArbEnclosed plan with right of way coloured in yellow and the Diocesan land edged in red. The premium should be paid by Eversheds' clients as the Diocese has had use without problem by Canon Hume and the nuns. Orbit Housing Association need the indemnity for their use.
Toller, Christopher FRICS FSVA ACIArbLetter from Eversheds (4-12-1992) and Witham Weld (7-12-1992). No documents showing the right of way owned by the Trustee. Rev Hawkes to produce the Statutory Declaration. Trustees will probably need to pay the premium - Obit Housing Association will not.
Toller, Christopher FRICS FSVA ACIArbAuction realised £10,300 for the property. Contract has been signed by the purchaser and a deposit cheque of £1,030 is held. It was bought by a Mr Pitts who may be acting on behalf of a Reverend tester. Details of acting solicitor will be forwarded.
Phelan & AgutterProperty to be sold by auction on 13 August at 6pm. Deeds have been forwarded to Mr Kelleher and draft contract for sale to be prepared.

Phelan & AgutterLetter from C Toller to M Kelleher dated 16-1-1980. (Note Mr & Mrs Clare are not employing a solicitor- documents to go direct to them.)
Phelan & AgutterInspected dwelling; not likely to sell - poor condition, size, character; District Clerk considers an application to demolish and redevelop would be received well; deeds mislaid?; auction sale estimate is £6,000
Phelan & AgutterDraft Sharing agreement being discussed with various churches' legal advisers. Waiting for Borough to produce the lease. Advises waiting until all advisers have had their say.

10p for each of 98 years, plus £1 consideration equates to £10.80. Local council requests payment for the whole period given the small sums involved.
Financial Administrator (M C Duffin): The Board of Finance has asked that the properties be transferred into the name of the Diocese. Fr Wilson to instruct Witham Weld & Co.
Bishop's OfficeUnlikely that Mr Gurney at the end of the lease (then in his 80s) would require the return and reinstatement of a small area of poor grazing land. Suggest the gamble worth taking.
