court roll

On the same page there is a case of a man described as a “yeoman” who is tenant by copy of Court Roll.

The original court roll of this presentation is still to be found amongst the records of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster.

(b) Persons holding land of the manor by copy of court roll, or copyhold tenants.

The account must be cleansed, the court roll of grievances must be purged.

A third instance is taken from the Court roll of the manor of Chedzoy, near Bridgwater.
