Legal indenture executing a lease agreement between Eliza Maria Harris Purcell and Joseph Mintern. The document outlines the transfer of approximately eight acres of ‘wild, hilly, and unrepresentable’ land situated on the old Rochestown-Monkstown Road, five miles outside Cork City. It dictates a financial consideration sum (including a yearly rent of £63), detailed covenants regarding rent payments, land boundaries, agricultural usage restrictions, and maintenance of structures. It features the official legal signatures and attestations of the principal parties and legal witnesses.
Eliza Maria Harris Purcell was a major landowner associated with Wickham House, County Cork. Joseph Mintern was a prominent local shopkeeper, merchant, and shipowner based in Passage West, County Cork. In January 1873, prior to the finalization of this formal indenture, Mintern had reached an agreement to sub-lease a portion of this property (Brook Lodge) to the Capuchin Franciscan Order, represented by Fr. Cherubin Mazzini OFM Cap., facilitating the foundation of the Rochestown Friary.
