Description

This volume calendars the first court book in a series which begins only in the late 16th century, but then continues to the mid 19th century; it also incorporates additional material from two books of fair copies covering those same years, 1588-95.

Despite the narrowness of its scope; covering only seven years of court proceedings in a small market town, which in the late 16th century was only some 60 acres in extent with probably fewer than 600 inhabitants, this is an important volume because it owes much to the concerted efforts of a well-run local history group aiming at the highest standards and seeking out scholarly advice when necessary.
