Description:
|
Pre-printed counterpart to the lease for life by George Shaw, a yeoman from the township of Styal (in the parish of Wilmslow), with spaces left blank for particulars to be entered by hand. Lease for life was a form of tenure on the Dunham Massey estates from the seventeenth century, when it replaced copyhold or tenancy at will, until the mid-nineteenth century. George Shaw has signed his name at the foot of the charter and it is sealed with a red wax seal.
