Below is a copy of a lease (itself a copy made in 1779) that was given to me by the current owners of Evercreech Park Farm. I have made a transcription of the text as best I can (but will be grateful for corrections of any errors that I've made).

Footnotes:

1: Richard Newman of Fifehead's youngest son was named Francis Holles Newman. I deduce that the name must have come from The Hon. Sir Francis Hollis of Winterborne St Martin.

2: Anne Harbord was the wife of Richard Newman of Fifehead. Her father was Sir Charles Harbord, Surveyor General to King Charles I and King Charles II. William Harbord was Ann's brother.
