The detailed records of the proceedings of the manorial court of
Wakefield provide a unique insight into medieval life and commerce,
the many legal disputes arising, and the mechanisms for resolving
them. The manor court met every three weeks, as well as holding
additional courts, or 'tourns', at various locations around the
West Riding of Yorkshire. Recognising the historical significance
of these court records, in 1901 the Yorkshire Archaeological
Society began publishing them as part of its Record Series,
continuing intermittently until 1945 and ultimately producing five
volumes that span the years 1274-1331. Edited with an introduction
and notes by William Paley Baildon (1859-1924), Volume 1 contains
the Latin text of the earliest extant court roll, for the year
1274-5, followed by an English translation. Also included are the
surviving rolls (in English) for the years up to 1297.
