James HEATHER of Broadwater, Sussex. Yeoman. William BOORER of Hurstpierpoint, Sussex, Esquire. Edward PENFOLD of Broadwater, Sussex, Yeoman. Richard PENFOLD of Broadwater, Sussex, Yeoman. SUBJECT James Heather is giving a 15 year lease on property in Broadwater, Sussex, to Edward and Richard Penfold. It is known by the name of Wades or Malthouse Farms, and the land totals 52 acres to be paid if any meadow or pasture is ploughed up. There are a number of restrictions included for the proper use of the land including one that at the end of the lease the tenants will leave " one hundred loads of good rotten dung without being paid anything for the same ". William Boorer is a party to the contract because he holds a mortgage on the property. | |||||||||||||
