Scope and content
Lease indenture executing an agreement between Joseph Mintern and Daniel McNamara. The document details the lease of ‘that part of the lands of Rochestown containing one acre and a quarter or thereabouts’ located in the Parish of Passage West, County Cork. It references surrounding topographical coordinates, notably bounded by ‘Barry’s Farm’ as illustrated in a handwritten marginal inset map. The indenture sets out a term of seventy years computed retrospectively from 25 March 1863, at the yearly rent of one pound ten shillings British Sterling, paid in half-yearly instalments. It details restrictive covenants regarding maintenance, land use, and the reservation of sporting/game rights.
