Let to Mr. M. T.
Treleven on a yearly
Michaelmas tenancy. |
|
(2)
Let to the Stratton
Rural District Council
at a surface rent of
10/- per annum for the
first 20 square perches
or less, and an
additional 6d per annum
for every additional
square perch, or part of
a perch, and subject to
a royalty of 3d per
cubic yard of materials
gotten. |
|
• There is a public
right-of-way over the
roads through this Lot
• Land tax on the Farm
paid by the Tenant
amounts to £2 15s
• Land tax on the Lands
in hand amounts to 8/-
• The Tithe Rent Charge
on the whole of the Lot
is commuted at £10,
present value being £7
5s 5d
• The Timber on this Lot
has been valued and is
to be taken and paid for
by the Purchaser at the
sum of £200, in addition
to the purchase money. |

|
The areas measured in
"... A, ...R, ...P" are,
I think, standing for
Acres, Roods and Poles
(or possibly Perches) as
there are 40 poles to
the rood, and 4 roods to
the acre. For those born
after 1971 perhaps we
should explain the
earlier monetary system:
12d (12 pence) = 1s (1
shilling) and 20s (20
shillings) = £1
(therefore it follows
that there were 240
pence in £1. The 'd' was
used to denote the old
pence whereas after
decimalisation the
pennies were referred to
as 'new pence'. |
