| Description | Between Henry James Sheldon of Brailes House, esquire and John Baker of Brailes, farmer. Henry Sheldon put properties up for sale by public auction of 1 July 1868 (as several lots), and one of the conditions of sale was that the purchaser of Lots 3 and 21 would own the property but would be subject to a farm rent of £42 2s in total for lot 3, and £29 for lot 21, which was the remainder of the farm rent. Lot 21 was unsold but John Baker purchased the properties that were lots 2, 3 and 8, being a farm house with outbuildings and yards, several closes of pasture land and plantation lying near the farm house, containing 77 acres 3 roods 25 perches, which were occupied by William Baldwin, then by Edmund Baldwin and now by Henry Harris; also a close of pasture land containing 3 acres 2 rods 19 perches, formerly occupied by John Gillett and now by John Cawley; all of which are in Upper Brailes. The purpose of this indenture is to confirm that Henry Sheldon is responsible for the payment of the £29 farm rent for lot 21, since the property remains unsold., and that John Baker will not be liable for it.
