Lease and repair valuation for Governor Wood's house, Isle of Man, 1769–70
Source
23 November 1769 and 9 June 1770
Two documents relating to the lease and maintenance of Governor John Wood's residence on the Isle of Man. The first (23 Nov 1769) is an arbitrated valuation by Thomas Moore and Samuel Wattleworth of a reasonable yearly rent (£24 manx) for the Governor's lands and recommendation for house repairs. The second (9 June 1770) is a letter from the Duke of Atholl granting consent to repairs (£81 4s 6d) and offering a lease during Wood's governorship with compensation provisions. Provides insight into post-Revestment governance arrangements and the Duke's property interests.
