SUBJECT
Henry Coggan is taking a 14-year lease on a farm in Somerset at a rent of £170 per annum. The farm is called Overlands and Joyce's and contains 74 acres in the Parish of Trull. The part called Overlands is at Whitley Cross on the West side of the turnpike road from Taunton to Blagdon. The land called Joyce's is near Trull village on the North side of the road from Trull to Boxenhedge. A schedule lists 7 parcels which make up the property with their acreages, uses and identification numbers on the tithe commutation map.

George Coggan covenants to pay the rent in the event that Henry Coggan should fail to do so.

All the other parties are jointly the Lessors.

Note that this document is not signed or dated, and so the contract never took place in exactly this form, or maybe it never took place at all.
