At least 8 messuages are specifically mentioned, including the Dog and Bull (1689) and there are references to new buildings erected by tenants on waste ground. 2 deeds (1683 and 1691) contain plans of parts of the property. Leased for 59¾ years in 1683, under a licence from Lady Wentworth, lady of the manor of Stepney and assigned and subleased subsequently. In 1727, the remainder of the lease was held by a Mrs. Harcourt of Tamworth. |
