166 HISTORY OF CORN MILLING: vol. iv KiNG's^MiLLS LIVERPOOL. ' ^^' ^^^ Morcs had already become as firmly attached to Townsend Mill as had the Crosses to 12. Townsend Eastham and Middle Mills ; and, retaining their Windmill, interest for quite as long a period, they far out- ease, 14 3. stripped them in enterprise as mill-owners ; far exceeding them also, however, in evoking popular hostility to their mill, and in aiding to bring about their own eventual ruin. Robert More's lease of Townsend having expired by 1463, it was then regranted at the old rent to him in conjunction with his partner, William Leyland :— Roll of -^^^ tradidit & ad firmam dimisit VVillmo Leylond & Robto More unum Indentures, molendinu ventriticum in villa de Lyverpole p' antica in tenura III Ed.

Given at Westminster, February 24, in the second year of our reign. By the Council of the Duchy. This lease would expire in 1470. In the next year Edward Crosse has been shown to be lessee of the town and its two windmills ; as was Henry Crosse in 1475 ; the Mores, apparently, during this time work- ing only their horse-mill near More Hall. 13. In 1546 Sir Richard Molyneux, of Sefton, 13. Townsend acquired the lease of the town and sublet the wind- mills. That now under notice he granted to two of j mdmill. his neighbours at Sefton, Thomas Eves and John Hetoller, who subleased it to Thomas Banks, of Liverpool, tailor ; by whom it would, of course, be once more let to some practical miller.
