Extract from the Revd. Mr. Wilson’s Letter to Mr. Bell dated Novr. 19th. 1799



‘A Person of some respectability has lately inform’d me that he & some Friends are ready to to take a Leadmine in the Parish of Wolsingham upon the following Terms which he desired me to mention and which I beg the Favour of you to communicate to Colonel Beaumont & Mr. Alderman Blackett if you think proper.   If they can obtain a Lease they will agree to give 1/6 of the Produce clear of every Expence and pay the Rector’s Tithe besides which would make the Dues little short of ¼.’
