New material

In the Feet of Fines section, abstracts of fines for Hertfordshire (1327-1358) (475 fines), Leicestershire (1327-1359) (225 fines) and Lincolnshire (1327) (16 fines) have been added.

Links to images of the original feet of fines on the Anglo-American Legal Tradition website have also been added for Buckinghamshire (1327-1359) (412 fines), Herefordshire (1327-1358) (183 fines) and Hertfordshire (1327-1358) (475 fines).

I am very grateful to James Poynor for sending me photographs of two further medieval documents in his possession - a charter of Robert Butler of Northill, Bedfordshire, from 1404, and a letter of attorney of John Borell of Writtle, Essex, from around 1520. The photographs and translations of the documents can be found by following the links above.
