Provides a comprehensive introduction and essential guide to one of the most important institutions in medieval England and to its substantial archive. This is the first book to offer a detailed explanation of the form, structure and evolution of the manor and its records. Offers translations of, and commentaries upon, each category of document to illustrate their main features. Examples of each category of record are provided in translation, followed by shorter extracts selected to illustrate interesting, commonly occurring, or complex features. A valuable source of reference for undergraduates wishing to understand the sources which underpin the majority of research on the medieval economy and society.

Industry Reviews

'This is an excellent book, with wise and interesting comments in the introductory sections, which are themselves important historical commentaries on the history of farming and societies over three centuries. The documents are very valuable as teaching aides and will be much used by those teaching local history, and in advanced undergraduate teaching.' Professor C. C. Dyer, University of Birmingham
