This pass would have given the owner permission to travel within royal estates rather than a wider system of turnpike and toll roads.  It was entered for auction by a member of the Tyrwhitt Drake family, whose ancestral home in Shardloes near Amersham. Sold for £1800. 		Photographs, Autographs, Printed & Manuscript Ephemera
