TitleBargain and sale by John Wolhous of Glapwell gent to Henry Allen of Scarcliff, husbandman. Henry has paid John £25, in consideration of which John has sold him all the houses and lands with appurtenances in Glapwell now in the several tenures of Thomas Johnson and Richard Johnson, which John Woolhouse lately bought, together with other property from Sir Francis Leek, and all evidence relating to the property, which he will make over by Michaelmas next. John will arrange for Henry's title to be ratified before Christmas, but Henry will pay the legal fees. Henry will hold his property free from any encumbrances which may have been made by John Woolhouse or Sir Francis Leek, apart from what is due to the chief lord.
John confirmes to Henry common pasture in the parish of Ault Hucknall in the woods or grounds of Bramley and Housesteads in open time and common for his beasts and cattle in Losk in Glapwell in time of fallow.
He shall pay John Woolhouse 4d yearly, together with 2 capons at Christmas and yearly suit to the manor court. John may enter and distrain the property if the rent is overdue.
He grants that he and his wife Margaret will make within two years any further ratification Henry thinks necessary. Postscript that Henry will deliver fat capons at Christmas and do a day's shearing yearly in harvest at Glapwell 8 Jun
