1984 Deed of Release
The document is a 1984 Deed of Release in which John William Hesketh Goddard releases Duncan Graham Penfold and his land from a historic 1909 restrictive covenant, in return for a payment of £50 and only to the extent that Goddard is legally able to release it.
It outlines the origins of the covenant, the relevant land description, and confirms that the transaction is not part of a larger series exceeding £30,000.
The final pages include schedules detailing the land, the covenant terms, the title history, and a Land Registry plan (Title WT55310).
