Indenture of agreement, between the Provost and College of one part and Richard Wawe and John Clyfford, of Wedon Beak [Weedon Bec], yeoman, of the other.

In the lease there was a clause by which the lessees were to pay 40 good wether sheep, sound fat shamble ware of Chiltern breed, to be delivered at the pasture of Eton called the playing lease between the feast of the Nativity of St John the Baptist and 20 August. Now it is agreed that the lessees shall pay, in lieu of the sheep, £16.
