A register of titles to property in the borough. The recognizance
rolls of Ipswich are a register of titles to property in the
borough and are among the most varied and interesting of the courts
records. They begin in the late thirteenth century and extend, in a
series of filesand leger-books, through to the Victorian age. Their
texts comprise abstracts and copies of private deeds, testaments
proved in the borough court, and grants of common soil. The careful
description of properties, including ownership of neighbouring
tenements, and the naming of parishes, streets, and landmarks,
makes them a source of great historical and topographical interest.
The early part of the series is well preserved, and its continuity
allows us tofollow the fortunes of individuals and of families in
some detail. We can observe in these gifts, bequests, and exchanges
the recruitment of the burghal community and the affiliations of
its members. It also offers a varied picture of the borough court
at work, both as a tribunal and as an administrative office. The
contents of the first twenty-one rolls are presented in an English
paraphrase that takes account of all significant variations in the
originalLatin, and also indicates the clerk's marginal notes and
memoranda.
