Please note it is the buyer's soleresponsibility to obtain any relevant export or import licence.The corresponding lots relate to the Bond family of Tyneham,including Tyneham House and nearby Creech Grange, Steeple, Dorset. Both estateshad been in the family since the 1680s, when Nathaniel Bond (1634-1707)acquired them. He later purchased Holme Priory, East Holme, in 1690.Tyneham House subsequently passed to Nathaniel's second son, JohnBond (1678-1744, Lot 16). An English lawyer and Member of Parliament for CorfeCastle, he married his first cousin, Margaret Williams (d. 1775, aged 87), andtogether they had four sons and two daughters.Their first-born son, also named John Bond (1717-1784, Lot 12),inherited the Tyneham estate from his father in 1744 and Creech Grange from hisuncle Denis in 1747, following his death without a male heir. Like his father,John served as MP for Corfe Castle. On 17 July 1749, he married Mary Dummer(Lots 13 and 15), daughter of Edmund Dummer of Swaythling and stepdaughter ofhis uncle Denis. The couple had five sons and two daughters.John's third surviving son, Thomas Bond, who managed the Tynehamestate, married Sarah Newsham in 1779. Sarah's mother was Eliza Newsham (Lot11).
