Description: | Respecting rents at Burton, North Carlton, South Carlton, Dalby, Broxholme, Saxilby, Frith Bank and East Croft, settled estates of Lord Monson, in 1803, 1809 and 1814 inspecting petitions of the tenants for a reduction in rent owing to depreciation in value of agricultural produce, increase in parliamentary and parochial taxation, sums spent on improvement of their farms, and the particular hardship of mainly grazing farms who did not feel benefit of raised corn prices, also loss from rights of commons on the enclosure of the fens.
Edward Betham, steward to the estates since before the death of John George lord Monson, estimated that a reduction of 15% would be justifiable. | Subjects: | Country Estates | Temporal: | 21 July 1817 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
