Indenture between Elizabeth Denn and John Burton, and John Ash

  • AU ANUA 252
  • Series
  • 1734

This original indenture dated 22 July 1734 is handwritten on a page preprinted with the words ‘This Indenture’. It is a lease for land at Childerditch in Essex owned by Elizabeth Denn and John Burton and rented to John Ash for a total of ten shillings with a year’s rent of one peppercorn. It is framed between two sheets of glass and there are windows in the backing to allow annotations on the verso of the document to be read. A transcription has been made of the text, preserving original spelling with expansion of common abbreviations. Its provenance in relation to the University is yet to be fully established, though it is likely to have been donated prior to 1960 as there is a pencil annotation on the backing ‘18/6 CUC’ which appears to refer to the Canberra University College. It hung in the Law Librarian’s office for many years prior to transfer to the Archives.
