Summary of Yardley
To this Town there belongs about 45 acres of Meadow Ground ye which is usually Lett at 20s per acre. And as ye certain proportion of each Tenure could not be settled, a further Enquiry must be made, what quantity is in possession of Each Tenant. And 10s 0d per acre must be added for that part because ye arable & meadow are measured together. The Nature of the lands are much the same as Potters Perry and usually let at ye same price.
