The will of Peter
Browne ( senior ) was written 26th May 1820
and probate was granted July 1825.
The will refers to the Swardeston Dog estate as one "lately purchased
by me" and gives it to his wife Honour (or Honor) for life. The
Will expresses the desire that the lease of the house be offered to
his son Peter - and, if he declines, to son Robert instead.
It also
appears that the Conveyance of the premises to Peter contained a
covenant by him to pay Mary Allinson ( Atkinson ? ) four shillings per week for the term
of her life; perhaps a relative or possibly the previous owner/occupant and this was to be a
form of pension for her?
