    Feet of Fines – Worcester references plus William Worcester publications: http://www.medievalgenealogy.org.uk Abstracts of Feet of Fines: Introduction The aim of this project is to provide abstracts of the medieval feet of fines that have not yet been published, for the period before 1509. A list of published editions, together with links to the abstracts on this site, can be found here. Alternatively, the abstracts can be searched for entries of interest. Background In the late 12th century a procedure evolved for ending a legal action by agreement between the parties. The agreement was known as a final concord (or fine). Originally this was a means of resolving genuine disputes, but by the middle of the 13th century the fine had become a popular way of conveying freehold property, and the legal action was usually a fictitious one, initiated with the cooperation of both parties. This procedure survived until the 1830s. Originally, each party would be given a copy of the agreement, but in 1195 the procedure was modified, so that three copies were made on a single sheet of parchment, one on each side and one at the foot. The copies would then be separated by cutting the parchment along indented (wavy) lines as a precaution against forgery. The right and left hand copies were given to the parties and the third copy at the foot was retained by the court. For this reason the documents are known as feet of fines. The following information is available online: Court of Common Pleas, General Eyres and Court of King's Bench: Feet of Fines Files, Richard I - Henry VII (to 1509) and Henry VIII - Victoria (from 1509) (descriptions of class CP 25 in The National Archives online catalogue) Land Conveyances: Feet of Fines, 1182-1833 (National Archives information leaflet) [Internet Archive copy from August 2004] CP 25/1/45/76, number 9.

November 1984' INTRODUCTION The papers in this collection are the work of Edwin Hadlow Wl6e Dunkin, F.S.A. (l&t9 - 1915). After his death the bulk of his papers was presented by his widow to the British Museum and the Sussex Archaeological Society. The British Museum retained 221 volumes (Add. MSS 39326-39358); certain items which they did not require were sent by them to our Society, who added them to their own collection. The collection in this library consists mainly of transcripts of documents from a great variety of sources including public, diocesan and parish records, the emphasis being on Sussex clergy, genealogy and manorial history. The material is in the form of manuscript volumes, notebooks, series of paper slips and loose papers. Many of the papers appear to be working notes from which Dunkin compiled his finished volumes. Arrangement The collection has been arranged as far as possible according to subject matter, but a batch of papers concerning many aspects of the parish and manor of Buxted has been kept intact, as this appears to have been Dunkin's intention.

  • Naming Shirehampton and the Name Shirehampton
    Naming Shirehampton and the name Shirehampton Richard Coates University of the West of England, Bristol Shirehampton is a village in southern Gloucestershire, England, which has been absorbed into the city of Bristol. It has expanded into a suburb with a population of 6867 in 1991 (census figure; the precise figure is not readily deducible from later census data).1 Its territory included, until 1917, what was marshland and is now Avonmouth port and suburb. The historical development of its name is easy to follow in broad but unrevealing terms, though there is a considerable amount of problematic detail. In this article I explore what it is possible to deduce about aspects of the processes involved in its evolution, which are not at all straightforward. The paper can also be taken as an object lesson in the lexical-semantic and phonological difficulties of historical onomastics, and in the pleasures of travelling unexpected byways in the history of onomastics and in cultural history. But historical onomastics, in the sense of establishing the etymology of a name, is not the same as exploring the history of a name, and not the same as the historiography of a name. In analysing Shirehampton and its name, we shall look at all of these techniques and processes in detail. In this article I attempt to explore the historical onomasiological questions of what this particular tract of ground has been called over the centuries, and why; the semasiological question of the use of the place’s name or names in derived names (commemoration); and the historiographical question of what scholars have deduced from the place’s name or names: first and foremost the history of the interpretation of the place’s name or names (changing views on its/their etymology, and the consequences of changes in such provisional knowledge), but also changing views about the identification (denotation) of the name or names featuring in the record, and some real-world consequences of that.

  • Feet of Fines Order Form
    RUTLAND LOCAL HISTORY & RECORD SOCIETY Registered Charity No. 700273 Rutland County Museum, Catmose Street, Oakham, Rutland, LEl5 6HW Medieval Property Transactions in Rutland Abstracts of Feet of Fines 1197 – 1509 edited and with an introduction by Bridget Wells-Furby RLHRS Occasional Publication No 10 About this book The medieval feet of fines in The National Archives record local property transactions. Arising originally in the late 12th century from legal disputes over land, the format was quickly adopted as the most secure form of property transfer. They continued to be couched in the same legal terminology long after that background became a mere fiction. The ‘final concord’ or agreement of each transaction was copied in triplicate by clerks of the king’s court; each party to the agreement kept one part while the third part, the ‘foot’, was retained by the court. By no means all such transactions were so recorded, but these ‘feet’ survive in large numbers as an unparalleled record of land transfers. Here Bridget Wells-Furby provides a calendar of all 355 feet of fines in the single county series for Rutland. They are an important source for manorial histories and genealogical studies but they also record the transfer of smaller freeholdings which did not amount to manors, thus shedding light on lower ranks of society. Some include important topographical information on land holdings and other assets such as mills, fisheries, and advowsons; a few record names of tenants. The edition runs to 108 pages and provides an English summary of each fine, with full indexes of the names of persons and places, the names of the justices, and of subjects, and a glossary.

BELL CHRIS BROOKS HELEN KILLICK This paper uses a data set of freehold land and property transac- tions from medieval England to highlight the growing commer- cialization of the economy during that time. By drawing on the legal records, we are able to demonstrate that the medieval real estate market provided the opportunity for investors to profit. Careful analysis of the data provides evidence of group purchases, multiple transactions, and investors buying outside their own localities. The identification of these “investors” and their buying behaviors, set within the context of the English medieval economy, contributes to the early commercialization debate.

  • Feet of Fines Relattng’To Wiltshire for the Reigns of Edward I and Edward Ii
    ABSTRACTS OF FEET OF FINES RELATTNG’TO WILTSHIRE FOR THE REIGNS OF EDWARD I AND EDWARD II EDITED BY R.B.PUGH AN ASSISTANT KEEPER OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS DEVIZES 1939 Prhflnl In by Buds 8 'I'lnI|nr LI-.lL¢ Fran] PREFACE THIS volume is a continuation of the Calendar of the Feet ofFines relating to . I/Vz'ltslzz're . I195 to . I272 (Devizes, I930) compiled by the late Edward Alexander Fry and published by the Wiltshire Archaeo- logical and Natural History Society. On Fry’s death in I934 the abstracts he had made of the Feet of Fines for the reigns of Edward I and II were handed to me with the request that I should complete them at least to the end of the latter reign. On examination however I found that some revision would be necessary before the abstracts could be printed and I consequently decided to use the opportunity so created to expandythe compilation and incorporate more information in it. For any defects in the present work therefore I must be held entirely responsible. In acknowledging the help I have received it is a pleasure to record my especial gratitude to Mr. S. C. Ratcliff, sometime an Assistant Keeper of the Public Records, who first taught me how medieval documents should be edited and who has generously placed his great knowledge at my disposal while I have been preparing the present abstracts. R. B. PUGH. V INTRODUCTION Definition and Place of Custody. THE -name Feet of Fines is given to a class of documents, relating to _ certain transactions in land 1 called ‘ final concords "or ‘ fines ’ preserved 1n the Public Record Ofiice, London, among the records of the Court of Common Pleas.’ These documents have been extensively studied and frequently described.” Briefly it may be said that a final concord was a species of assurance in the form of a compromised action at law, that in the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries this action was genuine but that it gradually became a complicated legal fiction.

  • The Lincolnshire Gentry and the Wars of the Roses
    The Lincolnshire Gentry and the Wars of the Roses Jonathan S. Mackman D.Phil. Thesis University of York Department of History August 1999 Abstract This thesis is an examination of the impact of the Wars of the Roses upon the people, government and landed structure of a hitherto under-studied shire. It is intended as a bridge between the numerous post-McFarlanite county studies of recent years and the specific issue of the Wars, a conflict generally approached from a central perspective. It begins by examining Lincolnshire's landed society during the later Lancastrian period, stressing the county's political isolation, the sheer size and collective wealth of its population, but also the lack of any dominant political force. It examines the nature of local government, particularly the changing social profile of local officers, and also the issue of local violence. In particular, it highlights the effects of faction and manipulation of justice in an otherwise relatively law-abiding county, and the influence of the shires upon the descent into warfare. The thesis then addresses Lincolnshire's experience of the Wars themselves, particularly stressing the limited participation of the resident population. The Lincolnshire Rebellion of 1470 is described in detail, this shadowy episode being carefully reconstructed in order to gain a fuller understanding of its importance. This is then tied in with a discussion of how the Wars had only a limited effect on Lincolnshire's social and landed structures, yet radically altered its relationship with the Crown. It highlights the tension between the established order and the Yorkist administrative elite, and the way this became embodied in a local power-struggle which, it is argued, led to the Rebellion and ultimately contributed to Edward IV's own deposition.

  • Eva De Hodelholm and Her Stepchildren: Further Addendum -267
    EVA DE HODELHOLM AND HER STEPCHILDREN: FURTHER ADDENDUM -267- FURTHER ADDENDUM TO THE FIVE ODARDS: EVA DE HODELHOLM AND HER STEPCHILDREN by MichaelAnne Guido1, J C B Sharp, Jane Brankstone Thomas ABSTRACT In response to comments received from members of the FMG on our earlier article (Foundations, 3(2): 127-161, July 2009) we should like to present some clarifications and corrections. This paper encompasses other pertinent information concerning the early Levingtons that was not included in the original article.
