Expired leases

Series

1628 - 1981

14 boxes

A series of leases, in boxes marked Leases Expired. They relate almost entirely to leases of boarding houses and other property within Eton. They give an interesting picture of the development of the town, many properties having barns and stables in the earlier documents. Properties were apparently frequently subdivided or combined. Familiar names of dames, masters and fellows gradually appear, as well as such Eton establishments as the booksellers Pote and Williams, and Rowland's. Occasionally documents other than leases or counterparts, such as surrenders or mortgages, are included, and these are noted.
