Two now-deceased Eyres in 1846 entered into a lease agreement with James Sharpe to which this property was partially subject. As Richard Nation had become entitled to the benefit of that earlier agreement, this present lease was made. The lease requires that the lessee make very specific improvements to the property to create a pleasure garden and replace an existing greenhouse with a new one, and erect also a building for a billiard room, lavatory, and wine store, and may not erect any other buildings on the property nor let it out to an laundress or washerwoman nor for use as a tavern or tea drinking house or for the sale of wine, ale, beer, or liquor, except as is used in connexion with the Knight of St. John's Tavern or as a receptacle for Lunatics(l). As the rent of one peppercorn makes no economic sense, it is likely that there was a separate Release of the rights of redemption and reversion for which an economic sum was paid. This lease and release was effectively a deed, but one that did not have to be recorded and thus remained not within public knowledge. And there was apparently some other unstated understanding concerning the named tavern and the provision for lunatics.

Each lease from James Phillips Fletcher, Stephen Phillips the younger, and Henry Phillips Whisson (devisees in Trust under the will of Stephen Phillips, deceased) to John Vandershiys Scantlebury (builder), for a term of 99 years beginning on 25 March 1862 at an annual rent of one peppercorn if demanded, 1865, (21"x 26") with bottom folded up and tied with blue cord, each with red wax seal and with tax stamp affixed. These are preprinted forms with manuscript additions, and each with a site plan with the particular house and lot.dimensioned and colored. Each lease requires the lessee to complete the finishing and fitting up of the house, build the road to the centerline, lay down the sidewalk, sewers etc., and maintain the house as is customary. Each assignment ot the lease requires the approval of the lessor and the payment of one guinea, but there is no mention of rent other than the peppercorn. There must be a related additional agreement that will yield recompense to the lessor once the lessee has completed each house and sold it, as the arrangement otherwise makes no economic sense. It is also odd that the lease term begins three years prior than the date of the lease. It may be that the lessee had already finished the work and was ready to sell the houses to identified buyers, with these leases necessary to complete the documentation.
