  • R200165-H0022-Mediaeval Courts
    Account of Purley on Thames Mediaeval Courts R200165 15/1/2018 Introduction It was the Courts which administered England until the development of local authorities in the nineteenth century. They essentially made judgements on rights and obligations and settled disputes which previously had been settled by force of arms. After the retreat of Roman administration in the fifth century force of arms was about the only means of control, if you were strong, your word was law was the dictum. The result was several centuries of warfare and contest for power and it was only at the lowest level that matters could be decided by other means. In early Saxon times village affairs were dealt with at a village meeting known as a witangemoot. This was called whenever there were matters to decide, for example to elect a village chief, to settle a dispute or to commence a common venture such as harvest. They started out as meetings at which all had an equal say but as time went by the need for the development of specialist skills and for strong guidance resulted in the development of the social order which we would nowadays recognise as essentially feudal. As Christianity spread, a quite different approach to land ownership emerged. It was argued that as God created Heaven and Earth, it was all in his ownership, but it could he 'held' in His name. At the same time the concept of Kingship emerged and it was the King who held all land in his realm and who could allow his underlings in the social order to hold it from him and enjoy the benefits and privileges that landholding conveyed.
