Society For The Propagation Of The Gospel In Foreign PartsSociety for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts was a missionary organization of the Church of England. Extract from Kuchel family history (1838-1970)Hahndorf, South Australia "Kirchenbergen comprised three sections of land totalling about 240 acres km² out of 400 acres km² of Crown lands in a special survey that was purchased by the Incorporated Society for the propogation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts on 15th May, 1841. It cannot be ascertained under what tenure the Kuchels held Kirchenbergen originally, but in 1863 the Society for the Propogation of the Gospel granted them a lease (in which they were described as "farmers") for a period of 20 years. The rent was fixed at 89 pounds a year for the first seven years and 89 pounds a year for the remainder of the term, so they allowed for inflation in those days. Among the conditions of the lease were: - to cultivate and to plant on the said land during the first seven years 4.5 acres m² of vines, - to repair, uphold, amend and keep in repair the erections, buildings and fences upon the said premises, and - not to let, underlet or assign over or otherwise part with any portion of the said premises without the consent in writing of the said Society." --203.26.206.129 10:54, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)Chris Williams
