Sir Thomas Pope Kt leases to Thomas Bridges esq of Cornbury, Oxfordshire, Sewell [Showell] Grange in Bruern, Oxfordshire, granted to Sir Thomas by the court of augmentations at an annual rent of #18 6s 2d, and currently occupied by Thomas Bridges and by Sir John Bridges Kt of Cuberley [Coberley], Gloucestershire. The term is 50 years from the following Michaelmas, and the annual rent #18 6s 2d for the first 7 years, and #18 19s 2d thereafter. Indenture, signed and sealed by Pope in the presence of Thomas Witton, notary. Pendant tagged seal wanting. It appears that the crown has included this property in grants of the former lands of both Bruern and Reading Abbeys, and that the two grantees are coming to a mutually agreeable compromise.
Lease, Bruern, Oxfordshire
