Scope and content

Letters from the Vicar, Arthur C. Vidler, about the farm in Preston, its bad state and reasons why it is losing money. There is a building on the farm which was paid for by a mortgage from Queen Anne's Bounty, not yet paid off. A new tenant took over in 1902. Two offers to buy the land were received in late1902. Much discussion ensued, including consultations with the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, and a report from A.G. Grain, land agent, recommending a sale. In 1904 the farm was to be leased again, but by the end of that year, a sale for £600 was agreed.
