Title
LETTING SURVEYS AND CONTRACTS FOR LEASES
Description

These documents, mainly dating from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, contain similar information to leases. The letting surveys record the auction of leasehold properties and contain a description of the property, the terms of the lease, often details of the bids received and the signature of the successful bidder. The contracts for leases, as the name suggests, were agreements by individuals to take out a lease and include details of the property and lease terms. Sometimes a lease drawn up following a letting survey or contract may be found in AR4.

Arrangement

The letting surveys and contracts for leases are arranged by manor and chronologically within each manor. Records involving more than one manor are at the end in chronological order.
