Manour Court Rolls

Extract from UK National Archives TNA SC 2/170 16
Inhabitants & Jury List 2nd Oct 1644 & 15th Apr 1645

A jury of copyhold tenants was assembled at each manor Court sesion to infrom and confirm the business of the Court. The number of men on the jury varied from four (October 1638) to 33 (September 1626). Members of the jury for the 2 October 1644 and 15 April 1645 sessions of the Fordington manor Court are identified in the lists below by an asterix (*) after their name. At these two sessions of the Court, a list of 'existen inhabitants' is also given, however, it should not be assumed that these are complete lists of all (male) inhabitants on the manor.

The names of jurors and inhabitants have been re-ordered aphabetically and aligned to make it easier to compare individuals between years.
