You are also asked to select 'traffic lights' – red, amber or green. It is important to understand that, if you start with a blank copy of the toolkit, the first thing you should do is save it with a different name using the 'Save as Copy' command in Acrobat Reader.

  • LOCAL GOVERNMENT Overview Manorial Government
    Victoria County History: Leicestershire LUTTERWORTH DRAFT TEXT by P.J. Fisher and A. Watkins LOCAL GOVERNMENT Overview Lutterworth’s institutional structure resembled that of a village, with three-weekly manor courts, and twice-yearly views of frankpledge, presided over by the lord’s bailiff. The only court rolls to survive before the 18th century are from 1562, 1564 and 1657.1 Many survive from 1732 to 1857.2 One of the town’s two medieval religious guilds evolved into what became the Town Estate, which repaired the roads and funded town ‘improvements’.3 Town-masters’ accounts survive from 1707 to 1726 and 1761 to 1872.4 Constables’ accounts survive from 1651 to 1707 and 1809 to 1832.5 Their duties in 1657 included reporting ‘Popish Recusants’, houses erected without the statutory 4 a. of land, unlicensed alehouses, people playing unlawful games and those buying or selling corn before the market opened.6 The accounts include expenditure in the 1650s on a cuck-stool (ducking stool) with wheel, a whipping post and a cage (lock-up).7 Vestry minutes survive from 1789 to 1960.8 The town also had a Nuisances Committee from 1855, but it had little power to effect sanitary improvements. There was never a burial board. Town (parish) council minutes survive from 1894.9 Lutterworth was the main market town in Guthlaxton Hundred, and had a minor administrative role in the county in the 14th and 15th centuries. It became the centre of a Poor Law Union in 1835, and a Rural District Council in 1894. It hosted petty sessions and a county court from the 18th century, and magistrates’ courts until 1998.
