If you are looking for an old Indenture I believe this really looks the part. The document is written in an old type of script and has some areas of ageing stains and the outer page is a little soiled which in my opinion, unusually, enhances rather than detracts from the document. It consists of one sheet measuring approximately 82 x 61 x centimetres. The front page has two blue duty paid stamps in one strip, one red sealing wax seal and the signature of William Flower. The reverrse has the signatures of THOS. JOHNSON and GEORGE PERCIVAL as witnesses and a receipt for the mortgage advance of £500.00
