This Series covers items relating to the sale of the Coulsdon estate by auction from 1921 onwards. The process took several years. The Series includes sales particulars, plans, maps and how the estate was divided into discrete sales plots.

There are inventories of the contents of Coulsdon Court, with detailed listings and information on how some of these domestic items, including some of significant value, were distributed within the family. These inventories overlap with an insurance inventory in AR1057/3.

To acquire a full picture of the sale of the estate, it is necessary to include items from AR1057/8 – Business Correspondence and Estate Management and AR1057/14 – Solicitors Accounts

This Series covers the accounts rendered by the Byron’s solicitors, predominantly Tylee & Co.

The records in this Series are highly detailed and comprehensive, recording all the substance of all contacts and time spent in dealing with the family’s affairs and the fees charged. It amounts to a substantial quantity of documentation which provides insight into the family’s business and personal life, for example, legal advice and services provided for the purchase and sale of land, for a range of business transactions and disputes, for settling wills and handling trusts.

There is particular strength for the period following Edmund Byron’s death, with advice by Tylee and Co, the executors, to the trustees of the will, Eric Byron and Theodore Hall Hall (husband of Lucy Byron) concerning the sale of the estate. This includes information on the actual sales options available to the family, the decision making on these land sales and the pricing of individual lots, distribution of the contents of Coulsdon Court amongst family members, handling family trusts arising from the will and dealing with the queries of the trustees about the whole complex process. Handwritten marginalia throw light on Eric’s private response to some of the issues raised.

This Series provides additional sources of information for a good part of the archive, notably AR1057/2, 3, 8-13.

The Series is small with the information somewhat scattered in nature, lacking coherence at times. The material consists of such items as notices of purchase and sales.

It provides an indication of the importance of share and bond holdings in the Byrons’ overall wealth and annual income. Tax schedules, listed under AR1057/8, show that the greater part of Edmund’s annual income was from shares and bonds, which exceeded what he received from rental and farming income.

This Series covers documents concerning Edmund Byron’s involvement in public offices, with some items which reveal aspects of his philanthropy within the Coulsdon community. The strength of the Series lies in detailed documentation of his candidature in the Surrey County Council elections from 1888, when he was elected as a County Councillor, through to 1898, when he initially stood for election but withdrew when opposed by a late-entry and strong alternative candidate.

There are also documents relating to St. John’s church, Coulsdon, and Edmund’s appointment as a Justice of the Peace. Contributions to the church are also recorded in AR1057/3/163/11 – Domestic and Family Expenses and Accounts.

There is significant overlap with AR1057/1 – Personal Correspondence and AR1057/6 – Journals and Memoirs. Together with these other sources, a full picture of the family’s public and philanthropic roles in Coulsdon and the wider county community may be acquired. Researchers are particularly referred to AR1057/6/112 – Journal kept by Charlotte Emily and Edmund Byron, 1867-1875.
 

This Series covers transactions regarding properties on the estate before the death of Edmund Byron in 1921 and the sale of the entire estate. It covers properties in Golders Green and Hendon as well as Coulsdon. Sales particulars, correspondence illustrating the associated negotiations and valuations of the entire estate are included in the Series.

There is overlap with AR1057/14 – Solicitors Accounts; these itemise the fees charged by solicitors from which transactions regarding property can also be gathered.
