Court of Survey for the Manor of Cottered
June 1451
By Sue Flood
This is the first court held by John Wylughby esq and his wife An, daughter and heir of Edmund Cheyne, knight after inheriting the manor. It was usual at this time to request that all the tenants attend the court to confirm what property they hold and ‘to make the lord homage’. Unusually this document is clearly written in English.
