Biographical/Historical note
Manors were administrative, social, legal and economic units, which came into existence in England and parts of Wales during the Middle Ages. In Wales the manorial system was more complete and fully formed in the south-east, in particular in Monmouthshire. A manor consisted of the lord, his tenants and their land. By the 16th century the tenants held their land from the lord by three different tenures: freehold, copyhold or leasehold, giving different rights and conferring different duties, each involving payment of rents. Each manor was governed by a specific set of rules called the custom of the manor. A manor was administered by several officials on behalf of the lord. These usually included a steward, a bailiff and a reeve. Manorial courts played an important role in the administration of the manor. The Court baron enforced the custom of the manor and oversaw the transfer of copyhold land. Courts Leet dealt with offences devolved from the royal courts. The importance of the manorial courts decreased as time went by, especially after the 16th century, their place increasingly being taken by institutions such as the Quarter Sessions and the parish vestry. Copyhold tenure was abolished in the 1920s. Manors produced a variety of fairly standard documents. These include court rolls and other court documents; surveys, extents and rent rolls, giving written accounts of the manor and listing tenants; and accounts and other financial records.
