Negotiations over the sale of one acre of glebe land, required for building six cottages, in pursuance of the Housing and Town Planning Act 1909. Correspondence between the Rector, E.A. Lnes, the Bursar, and Alfred Newman, Clerk to the Cosford Rural District Council. The sale seemed to be agreed at the end of 1911, but there is one further letter of 1921, mentioning the reapportionment of the tithe, and the completion of the sale.
