A pre-printed lease for life by George Shaw and his brother James Shaw, both yeoman of Styall in the parish of Wilmslow. A 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. There is a red wax seal at the foot of the charter.
