New material

In the Feet of Fines section, abstracts of fines for Lincolnshire (1328-1348) (817 fines) have been added.

I am very grateful to James Poynor for sending me photographs of a further medieval document in his possession - a charter of Thomas Rodeland of Sandy, Bedfordshire, from 1425. The photographs and a translation of the document can be found by following the link above.
