The illustration below shows this watermark and dates it to 1790 but the coat of arms is absent so presumably this is a cut half sheet. <img src="https://huntroyd.co.uk/files/original/durham_and_co.jpg " alt="alt text on image " style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="600" height="any" /> William Mustoe of Postlip Mill, in his will (7) made 8 April 1698, described himself as a miller. Neither his inventory (8) or that of a later William Musto (miller) of Postlip (9) give any indication of. paper making, however as late as 1722 a Mr. Nusto was at Postlip (10); in 1726 Mr. Durham was paying rates at Coates, possibly for a house, and in 1728 for Upper Mill as well. (11) The Winchcombe parish registers show that William, son of John and Lidia Durham of Coates was buried 20 October 1725. Tn 1752 (12) John Durham gave expert evidence that he was 'acqainted with the manner and methods .., of manufacture and ... hath been for upwards of 33 years ... and before that was apprentice‘. This suggests that John Durham became a papermaker in 1719 after an apprenticeship. Where he was prior to 1719 or between then and 1725 is unknown. . In 1733 it was reported ‘the Annual Feast will be kept at Winchcombe ... by Mr. John Durham and Comp. of Postlip Hall, for entertaining all the Servants belonging to the Paper-Works, erected by the said Mr. Durham etc... according to the Yearly usual Custom ...‘ (13). By 1734 Mr.Durham was paying rates on Upper (SP 008271) and Lower Mills (SP 018277), as well as on the property at Coates (11) and in l745 on Middle Mill (SP 013272) in addition. At this point it is worth pointing out that Middle Mill and Lower Mill were actually in the hamlet of Coates rather than Postlip and this hamlet extended along the River Isbourne up to Castle Street, so that as late as 1872 Coates Mill was in Castle Street, very near to the Sudeley Mill. In 1746 accounts of the overseers (11) includes the signature of John Durham. In the 1752 court previously referred to (12) evidence was given by both John Durham and also John Burnham, papermaker of Postlip. References to John Burnham occur at various dates between 1760 and 1780 (1%). In his will he described himself as a stationer and left much of his property to his friend William Durham. (15) . Examination of parish registers, wills and other records enable us to build up a family tree for the Durhams (Fig.2) but where the first John Durham came from is not certain, though it may have been from Willersey. He died in 1760 and was followed by his son William Durham. William seems to have had his brother-in-law Thomas Merryman as a partner for a period and in 1763 they jointly insured (16) various buildings etc. describing themselves as ‘paper- makers, millers and maltsters‘. William appears alone in a later policy (17) and later still he is replaced by a William junior (18) papermaker, although William senior was still alive (19). These fire insurance policies are of particular interest since they detail the buildings involved. A William Durham of Postlip, papermaker, maltster and farmer, took as partner James Stevens, of the same place, papermaker, by an indenture made 14 February 1783 (20) and there is a later reference (21) to ‘one of the most considerable paper manufactories ... Messrs. Durham and Stevens‘ as well as ‘Fine writing paper is made at Postlip, Quenington and Abbenhall‘. Perhaps this James Stevens is the J. Stevens who was interested in a paper mill at Rodmore (S0 581027). In 1796, John Durham of Coates, papermaker,made his will giving ‘unto my father William Durham the Elder, late of Postlip ... now of Newnham ... all my person-als‘. This John died in 1799 and apparently William senior resumed control of the mills since he wrote a letter from Postlip, 17 March 1799 regarding laying mills still to keep down the price of rags.

The addressee is Mrs Nowell, Netherside, Skipton, Yorksbire. Sent from Heraldry College, Doctors Commons. The signature is of George Harrison Bluemantle. It incorporates two post marks, carries no stamp and has a wax seal to complete it. Dark patches in the top right corner of the adressed front seem to indicate a part of a black cancellation mark and that the letter would have carried a penny red postage stamp. The use of postage stamps commenced in 1840. The letter is grubby on the outside, sustained in transit, but has been stored flattened and folded in half. The inside is in a clean condition (Strictly speaking, the storks should be black, but I think digital over manipulation would detract from the image so enough is enough.) The hall was built around 1820 for Alexander Nowell a businessman who made his fortune in indigo dye. He was born in Lancashire in 1761 and joined the British Army in his early 20s, serving in India. He left the Army in 1792 to concentrate on his dye-manufacturing business, before returning to England in 1805. He rented the land on which the hall was eventually built on a lease of 40 shillings (£2) a year and died at the hall in 1842.

I have lately been so unwell as to be unable to attend to Business on accountt of a severe attack of Influenza being much better I have again resumed my duties. and in reply to your letter I have sketched on the other half sheet of this Paper the Arms allowed to the descendants of Edmund Starkie of Huntroyd whose Pedigree is only brought down to the Visitations of Lancaster made in the year 1664. therefore it will be necessary for your friend to record his Pedigree from that time, the Arms in the 4th Quartering on the other side is Worseley and I have no doubt the Arms of the family you are in search of- I do not find that the Pedigree of Whitaker has been continued from the Visitation it would be very desirable to all Old & respectable families ┌that they┐ should continue the Pedigree from the Visitation as it could then be  shown that many persons of the same Name who say they are descended from old families are only then of the present day- With the Compts of the Season to yourself and family Circle Believe me Yours very sincerely Geo' Harrisson Bluemantle PS Please let me have the Pedigree of Nowell as soon as convenient.

Elsewhere on this site the narrative of Thomas Thursby in the mid 18th Century shows how slowly their mindset altered. Wealth and status offered little protection from disease and death.  Their medicines offered little more than another way of dying. The snapshot taken by these papers is of a bare 26 years.
