Transcription of Rental 1635-1642

Transcription of Rental 1635-1642
In February 2026, a photocopy of the Sutton Coldfield Rental 1635-1642 was discovered amongst Albert Fentiman’s Research Collection which is lodged with Archives & Collections at the Library of Birmingham and is now the earliest Rental we currently have for Sutton Coldfield, preceding the 1734 Corporation Rental. This now introduces many names and places that might appear on other 17th century documents.

Few people are aware that the man who wrote the well-known “Holbeche Diary” in his forties, whilst on retirement in Sutton Coldfield, had also led and would, in future, lead a very surprising and worthwhile path of life.
