DITTON PRIORS MANOR COURT ROLLS

1510-1614.


The original documents may be found in Warwickshire Record Office (reference CRO 1379/1-20) and in Herefordshire Record Office (reference T74/359). The Latin documents were transcribed and translated by two of our members (Sylvia Watts and Ralph Collingwood) and were published as a book by the Ditton Priors Local History Group (Di Bryan, another of our group, was a leading member of this group).

The book (157 pages of A4) had the Latin transcription and the English translation on facing pages. The cover illustration showed Sir Humphrey Packington, lord of the manor of Ditton Priors from 1578 to 1631. Indices of the people, place-names and subjects mentioned in the rolls were included.

All copies have now been sold, but copies were deposited in Record Offices (including Shropshire Archives and in local libraries, so they may be seen there.
