Torn scrap from a sheet with the heading "Badsey Silk Mill near Evesham, bought of Langley & Co, Silk Throwsters, Twisters, etc". Undated but likely to be 1851 when Thomas Bolland Langley took over the running of the mill.
The Stone House (or Badsey Hall as it is now called) was owned by Arthur Edward Jones from 1915 until his death in 1950. It remained unoccupied for a number of years and became semi-derelict. In 1969, it was bought by Peter Marriott who employed Mick Taylor to renovate the building. Arthur Jones had also owned Silk Mill Cottages (which had been converted from a Silk Mill into residential accommodation in 1864); 9 deeds relating to the Mill were found in 1999 in the attic of Malvern House (also owned by Jones). This scrap of paper was presumably once with them.
