| Description | Lease for 900 years by the Churchwardens of the land leased to them by the Feoffees for the benefit of the poor
(1) The Churchwardens and the Feoffees
(2) John Tooker, esquire
(1) to (2) of a messuage with a foldstead at Moorgate (adjoining Canklow Field on the east, the moor of Rotherham on the south, a piece of ground belonging to Mr Robert Darwent on the north and a little court belonging to the said John Tooker on the west), which had been given to the Churchwardens for the benefit of the poor of Rotherham. The property has recently deteriorated in value because two furnaces and a 'smithy' have been pulled down and because of the general decay of the rents and values of houses in Rotherham, especially in Moorgate.
Consideration: £1 10s per annum |
