Wilts.'); with the original leather-clad wooden box and cover, lined with printed law reports, eighteenth century tag attached 'Faiers & Marketts A Charter with Lease', and further early transcript, the deed on one skin of vellum, dust-stained, with other minor signs of use, but overall in fine, sound and attractive condition, 450 x 740mm., Westminster, 20 July in the second year of the King's reign [1626] Footnotes: THE CHARTER GRANTED BY CHARLES I IN 1626 FOR THE MARKET AND FAIR IN SWINDON, BEARING THE GREAT SEAL OF ENGLAND. Much of the prosperity of Swindon had, until the coming of the Great Western Railway and the new town, depended on its livestock markets; the town referred to as 'Chepyng Swindon' in 1289 and 'Market Swindon' in 1336 (Mark Child, Swindon: An Illustrated History, 2002). The Manor of Swindon was acquired by Goddard's father in 1563 and, after an uncertain start, by 1672 was flourishing, when John Aubrey noted that 'Here on Munday every weeke a gallant Markett for Cattle, which increased to its new greatnese upon the plague at Highworth' (Child). The Goddard family were to play a prominent part in local affairs until the twentieth century, supplying town and county with high sheriffs and members of parliament; their manor house, latterly known as the Lawns, surviving until 1952. Goddard's charter was inherited by the present owner and his family from the company that acquired the market site in 1990: a note of provenance is included with the lot.
