Throughout this teacher's handbook, emphasis is placed on the archaeological evidence for conclusions about the use of the site, and there are suggested activities to help students understand the techniques and methods of archaeology. The handbook shows how the site relates to its environment in a geographical context and suggests how its mosaics and wall paintings can be used as stimuli for creative work, either written or artistic. It states that the evidence for building techniques can also be examined in the light of the technology curriculum, using the Roman builder activity sheet. The handbook consists of the following sections:

  • The Court Leet of Prescot
    THE COURT LEET OE PRESCOT. By I*. A. Bailey, .M.A. Read I t April, 193^. NCE a year, on the day following the feast of Corpus O Christi, a small company of gentlemen gathers at noon in the Court Room in Derby Street, Prescot, in obedience to a personal summons to appear as jurors at the Court of the Manor of Prescot, " there to enquire into such matters and things as shall be given you in charge and as to the same Courts do appertain." The meeting is presided over by the Deputy Steward, Mr. YV. A. Cross, who opens the proceedings with the following proclamation : " Oyez, Oyez, Oyez, " All manner of persons that owe suit and service t<> the View of Frank Pledge and Court Baron ol the Mannr of Present, answer to your names as you shall be called. " God save the Kinjj and the Lords ol the Manor." The Bailiff then calls the names, after which the jurors are solemnly sworn. The Deputy Steward proceeds to deliver his Charge to the Jury, nowadays of an informal character, and the meeting then elects from amongst its number certain officers, namely the Coroner, Treasurer of the Charities, the Four Men (two of whom are appointed solely by the Deputy Steward), two Hurley- men, two Aletasters, two Street Lookers, two Assessors of Fines, and two Superintendents of the Fire Brigade. When the meeting has been formally closed, the com­ pany makes its way to the old Town Hall in the Market Place, from the windows of which numerous pennies are 64 The Coiirt Leet of Present.

  • Farnborough Manor in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society ( 7 ) FARNBOROUGH MANOR IN THE SEVENTEENTH AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES. BY M. F. BOND, MA. IN Volume LVII of Archeologia Oantiona (1944) there was printed the earliest of a series of Court Rolls belonging to the manor of Farnborough, Kent, and now kept at Beaumont College, Old Windsor. Since then the lateMr. 13. W. Knocker, F.S.A., of Westerhara most kindly allowed me to read and transcribe a number of letters and other documents connected with the manor then in his possession.' Difficulties in the narrative that was pieced together from these sources have been overconie as the result of a search in the archives of the Duchy of Lancaster very kindly made by the Chief Clerk of the Duchy, Mr. R. Somerville (by whose permission I transcribed various Duchy records). It is impossible to print the court rolls and other MSS. in extenso, but since they have a certain general interest some notes on their contents are offered here. They illustrate the tenacity of manorialism and the concern of eighteenth century gentry for their manorial rights. The MSS, themselves also provide evidence of place names and of families supplementing the two existing works on local history: Farnborough and its Surroundings by J. Harland Blandford (1912), published by E. Clarke & Sons Ltd., and the Parish Registers of Farn- borough 1Cent (1638-1812) by Henry Wilson. The Manor of Farnborough had been a fee of the Dukes of Lancaster in the Middle Ages."' From 1485 the manorial descent followed the crown, and the manor was accordingly administered by the office of the Duchy of Lancaster.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

  • Story of Court Leet.Qxd
    THE STORY OF By Mr.H.J.S.Clark My purpose in writing this paper is to place on record such information as I have about the Court Leet of the Manor and Borough of Wareham. My personal interest in the subject stems primarily from the fact that the Stewardship of the Manor from 1889 was held first by my father, Edward Seymer Clark and then from 1921 by my partner in my legal business, Henry Gordon Redman and then from 1965 by myself. Such knowledge as I have of Courts Leet in general and of the Warehain Court Leet in particular has been gleaned largely from the books and documents which are listed in the appendix to this paper. The listing of these items of reference is undoubtedly the most valuable service I can render to future students of this subject. I think that the most useful way of dealing with the matter will be to write down some of the questions which have been put to me from time to time and attempt to answer them. I will say something about the Court at two points of time in particular: first the present time and then the time at which the Court came into being. Question 1. What is a Court Leet today ? It is the surviving remains of a once powerful feudal court of law which formed part of the English legal and administrative system. Such courts have their origin in the century following the Norman Conquest of England. Courts Leet were courts of criminal jurisdiction created by a grant by the King to one of his trusted Tenants-in-Chief.
