Summary of contents
PARTIES
John TEAGUE of Walford, Herefordshire. Yeoman. AND Elizabeth his wife.
John WHITING of Walford, Herefordshire. Yeoman.
Thomas COOKE of Ross, Herefordshire. Apothecary.

SUBJECT
This is the second part of a contract of sale by Lease and Release in which John and Elizabeth Teague are selling property in Walford for £40. It is a parcel of arable land called the Far Ground containing 1 acre at Mayoo ? Hill.

The property is being conveyed to both John Whiting and Thomas Cooke although we are told that John Whiting pays £40 and Thomas Cooke only pays 5 shillings. The ' small print ' in the final clauses of the document only mention John Whiting which seems to imply that Thomas Cooke is not really very much involved.
