The court rolls of the two manors of Walsham le Willows provide detailed evidence of the workings of local administration and justice in the fourteenth century, and were themselves working documents designed to be accessible to all. As Ray Lock says of the documents edited in the first volume, 'they protected the interest of the ordinary man and woman as well as that of the lord of the manor.'

This second volume completes the transcription of all surviving court rolls for the fourteenth century manors of Walsham le Willows, covering the proceedings of ninety-nine courts after the Black Death had tragically reduced the local population. Serious difficulties still had to be overcome: for example, two successive reeves of Walsham manor were heavily fined for gross dereliction of duty, and in 1353 a large number of tenants refused to perform services for their lord. In general, however, these rolls give ample evidence of increased prosperity as land-holdings grew in size, and as the land and labour markets quickly stabilised.

RAY LOCK is a retired civil servant who has become immersed in the study of local history since his move to Suffolk. He edited the first volume of Walsham le Willows court rolls for the Suffolk Records Society (published in 1998), and has written on the local effects of the Black Death in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History.

Product description

Review

Manorial court rolls are especially informative, supplying details about an eclectic range of everyday activities and offences... Ray Lock's excellent work...places Walsham le Willows, an unexceptional Suffolk village, proudly upon the historical map. One hopes for a second volume. ― ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW

Details of life in Walsham-Le-Willows in the 14th century during the Plague

Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2021

Verified Purchase

Translation of the original court manor rolls, full of details about the families that lived on the manor, and many who died and the effects that had on the community. Interesting reading for any with an interest in the what is was like to live on a manor in the 14th century and who is interested in how the plague changed their lives. Also interesting for any who are researching family history in the area as it included many names including surnames of people who lived there.
