This volume, published on behalf of the Stamford Survey Group, is
the third to appear in a series designed to put texts relating to
the history of the town into the public domain to encourage the
study of the past of this town. The earlier volumes are the first
part of the borough Hall Book William Browne's Town: the Stamford
Hall Book volume 1 1465-1492 (2005), and The Act Book of St
Katherine's Gild, Stamford, 1480-1534 (2011). This book contains
notes on some 1500 title deeds relating to the town from the
twelfth century to 1547; they have been drawn largely from the
Public Record Office of The National Archives, but they also
include deeds in other collections. For the first time, in
association with other material available, it is now possible to
study in more detail the history of Stamford in the thirteenth and
early fourteenth centuries when the town was at the height of its
importance, as the venue for one of Europe's greatest international
fairs and as a centre for religious study and training. The
collection also reveals the nature of the urban society and its
land market during the whole of the long medieval period. Detailed
indexes accompany the summaries, and a brief introduction indicates
something of the value of this material. It is a volume which will
be of interest to all who study medieval urban communities, those
concerned with medieval records, and economic historians engaged in
a study of the medieval land market, as well as Stamford
historians.
