The undated will of Charles Buttery of St Paul Shadwell was attested 12/05/1725, when his death was given as on or about 13th September last past and he was described as 'Deal merchant'. The will is convoluted but it appears he left three houses including the Three Marriners at Shadwell to his wife Sarah Ann Buttery and then to his son Robert, his freehold estate to his son Robert outright, and one-third of his residuary estate to Sarah Ann Buttery for life.
