  • Scope and Content
    Apologies for delay in responding due to the illness of one of the staff. Explains that the fee farm rent for Priory Farm is payable to Mr F A Delme Radcliffe as the fee farm rents were sold by the crown in 1672. 'the alienation attaches to Crown Rents on the change in ownership of the properties & is payable by the successor out of course. The Revd H Higgins does not pay it a second time. As so long overdue we shall be favoured by the amount to Michmas last as per our letter of November £1.14.4 in return.'
