Description
These records include title deeds to property owned or administered by Bath City council, in some cases since the Middle Ages; they also include some title deeds (in series BC/6/2/1) which were deposited with the Council for safe-keeping. Over the years, the deeds have been reorganised numerous times, with the result that there are a number of separate, in some cases overlapping, series. Unfortunately, it is not possible to re-create their original order, so they have been left in these separate series. It may be necessary to look at more than one series for title deeds to a particular property.
The provisional arrangement of the records is as follows: BC/6/2/1 Title deeds to properties in Bath. 'Ancient Deeds'. (Former reference BC151) BC/6/2/2 Deed register: Furman's "Bath City Schedule or Repertory of Deeds etc 1776" BC/6/2/3 Title Deeds to properties owned by Bath Corporation: 'Furman's Counterpart leases'.
