A photo of a manuscript from the year 1230

Gloucester City property – ‘City Lands, West Ward': Part of the land of the Guild Hall extending to Boothall door, c.1230’

GBR/J1/220

The Boothall is first recorded in 1230, when it is mentioned in the above demise - a term used to describe a property rented to someone for a specific period of time or until the renter dies. This document was drawn up between the burgesses of Gloucester and Master Hugh the Farrier and relates to ‘land of the Gildehalle lying between the land that belonged to Ralph of Tudeham and the door of the Bothall’. It names five of the city’s then current burgesses; Richard the Red, Richard the burgess, David Dunning, John the Draper and John of Goseditch (these names start midway on line one).
