Description: | Decree confirming articles of agreement of 19 Feb 1629 between the lords, tenants and freeholders of Fulbeck (named) and Lyon Ellis, clerk, rector of Fulbeck whereby, in pursuance of the inclosure made about seven years before of all the Low Fields and grounds in the parish of Fulbeck from the east end of the Ings or meadows on the east side of the town to the uttermost parts of the parish westward and the allotment of the Heath Field and heath ground in the parish, it was agreed that the rector should have certain plots in lieu of his glebe lands and commons out of the inclosed grounds and should accept a rate tithe of 12d. an acre in lieu of tithe from all the enclosed grounds. The rector was to continue to have tithe in kind from the Heath Fields and heaths of Fulbeck. However such of the lords, tenants, and freeholders who in any year should have sowed with corn 6 out of 24 parts or more of all their heath grounds on St. James's day, so that at least 300a. should be sown with corn on the Heath Fields or heath grounds, should be acquitted from all tithe wool and tithe lamb for their sheep depasturing on the said grounds.
Recites bill, answer, and information, the lords, tenants, and freeholders (named) v. Lyon Ellis, clerk, rector. Recites that before the decree confirming the articles of agreement was signed by the Lord Keeper, a petition was exhibited by Thomas Hurst, rector of Long Leadenham showing that the rectors of Leadenham had ever received tithes out of lands in Fulbeck, but that since the enclosure Lyon Ellis had threatened some of the parishioners with suits if they paid tithes to Hurst. This decree, therefore, was not to be prejudicial to Mr Hurst and his successors for any tithes which rightly belong to the church of Long Leadenham.
