Note 50b — Chapter III · THE POSSESSIONS OF THE CHURCH, THE CROWN, & THE PEOPLE.

Reading edition

Judith Jodrell, wife of Sir Paul Jodrell, was a daughter of Mr. Daniel Sheldon; and it appears her life was the last of that family in the estate. I find by a private Act of Parliament, that the family of the Sheldons were obliged to sell their estates at Ditchford, in Worcestershire, to pay their debts, and it is probable that their life interest in the manor and rectory of Paddington was disposed of for the same purpose.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
