Field notes
The featured article treats the manor court as a practical village meeting rather than a grand courtroom, with villagers serving as jurors or witnesses and a lord's steward presiding. Its examples range from neglected hedges and wandering livestock to unauthorized firewood and violations of the Assize of Ale. The site also points readers toward manuscript imagery, including a British Library image dated approximately 1300–1325, and offers email and RSS links.
