Abstract & context
In this letter Richard Oxinden reports the death of Elizabeth Dallison to his cousin, Sir George Oxenden.
He refers to the protracted financial difficulties Elizabeth and her son Maximilian Dallison had over the estate of Halling, near Rochester, in Kent. The estate of Halling included the Bishop's place or palace, and had been managed by Elizabeth for seven years following the early death in 1641 [CHECK] of her husband, William Dallison, on behalf of her then under age son. Both lands and buildings were leased from the Bishop of Rochester.
To raise money for legal action and to purchase a reversion in the separate estate of the Hamptons in nearby West Peckham, Kent, Elizabeth had transferred the Halling lease to Sir George Oxenden. Following her death, this action, together with the breach between her and her son Maximilian, led to a protracted legal dispute involving Sir George Oxenden, Sir Henry Oxenden (George and Elizabeth's elder brother) versus Maximilian Dallison
