1750 WILL OF WILLIAM RISBRIDGER OF ALBURY Preface This exceptionally long Will with two Codicils should be read in the context of the legal dispute which ran from around 1655 for nearly a hundred years, possibly one of the longest-running in British legal history, ably recounted by R. Charles Walmesley in his 1976 pamphlet The History of The Risbridgers. With no heirs in the Albury branch of the Risbridgers and a much-loved brother who required considerable care, William Risbridger finally settled the dispute with his neighbour the Duke of Norfolk in 1749 by selling the Freehold of Cooks Place, thus allowing the Duke full access to the springs of Silent Pool via Cooks Place to fill his water gardens and water his vineyard. William received three thousand pounds for the freehold of Cooks Place and thirty acres of land, much of which probably went towards paying the costs of the litigation. Thus here he is, five years later, aged 70, distributing large sums to ensure his legacy and the lifetime security of his brother. In the Name of God Amen I William Risbridger of Cooks Place in the Parish of Albury in the County of Surry Gentleman Do make my last Will and Testament in manner following First I commend my Soul to God hoping to be Saved by the Death of Jesus Christ And I do Order my body to be Buried Directly in a private manner in the Vault in the Parish Church of Albury by my late mother after it has laid fourteen Days from my Death. And as concerning my Worldly Estate I give and Dispose thereof as followeth I Give to my Kinsman John Smither of Godalming in the County of Surry Carpenter during his Natural life One Annuity or Yearly Sum of fifteen pounds of Lawfull Money of Great Britain by equally quarterly payments free and Clear of Tax. Also five pounds part thereof to [Comensure] from the End of One Year next after my Decease. And as to the remaining Ten Pounds to Comensure from the Death of my Brother John Risbridger and from and after the Decease of the said John Smither I give to each of them my Two Executors hereafter named Viz. John Baldwin Burningham and Johannes Worsfold and to their Heirs Respectively the Yearly Sum of Five Pounds each by like quarterly payments.
