An indenture made 20 December 1576 leases the Blackfriars property to Richard Farrant for a twenty-one year period, beginning at Michaelmas 1576. The document supplies a detailed description of the premises and interior. Farrant has the use of everything except for the washing-house, which is reserved for More. The terms of the lease stipulate a per annum rent of £14, paid quarterly at the usual feasts, and Farrant is to make certain repairs as well as take responsibility for payments to the church and scavenger. Farrant is not to assign the lease to anyone else, except his wife and children under the terms of his will, and he is to grant More access to the property whenever More seeks entrance.
