Hi Andrede. I said all along it was a paper sale by Lord Gerard.its just another piece in the jigsaw,
Rosbottom was employed by Lord Gerard as a farmer and he would have been ploughing those fields in those 28 years so to try and legitimise the sale they took the view that possession was 9 points of the law.

If he owned the land in the first place why would he sell it to a charity and then spend the rest of his life paying rent to use it?
The fact remains that Lauder made a covenant to the poor on that land and the deeds still show that the covenant remains to this day(Page 4 0n the copy that Ian gave me)Ray
