Note by Peter Foden (paleographer)
 
This rental, a list of leases for lives, probably dates from the early 18th century; my best guess would be circa 1730 (+/-20 years), and certainly no earlier than about 1680 nor later than about 1760. The place names are unfortunately blurred, particularly on the first image. The notes might have been added a few years later. If the leases survive they would provide useful genealogical information since the lives selected to determine the length of lease were usually from the lessees’ own families.
 
Note by Mark Trengove
 
Comparison of the names in the Survey with surviving pages of the Bishop’s Transcript for this parish (the parish records are lost for this period) firmly date it to the early part of the 18th Century – most likely the second decade, and no later than 1727 when Alice Thomas (cited in the Survey) died.
