Parish Clerks' Co., 6 Ex. 630); and inasmuch as, where there is an agreement in writing for payment of the rent, the non-payment of the rent for twenty years may afford some evidence that the agreement has been rescinded (per James, L.J., Bewley v. Atkinson, 13 Ch. D. 283); it appears advisable not to reserve a nominal rent. As a purchaser for value without notice is not bound by an agreement of the nature of that in the text (Berley v. Atkinson), notice of the agreement should be endorsed on the leading title-deeds of both tenements. As to the effect of rebuilding on the same or an altered site as regards the right to ancient lights, see Heath v. Bucknall, L. R. 8 Eq. 1; Straight v. Burn, L. R. 5 Ch. Ap. 163; Aynsley v.
