The Castle of Totnes
In Fourth Report of the Committee on Peculiar Tenures of Land
Trans. Devon. Assoc., 1884, Vol XVI, pp. 172-182.

Prepared by Michael Steer
This Report provides translations of some Court Rolls of the Castle of Totnes, containing features of a special character ; also some particulars, gathered from the Rolls of various Manor Courts, to illustrate peculiarities of land tenure and manorial customs in Devon. The books or parchment rolls, on which the proceedings of these Courts were formerly recorded with great regularity, form an invaluable source of knowledge of the rural customs and mode of local government in past times. The majority have probably been lost, scattered, or destroyed ; but in spite of the havoc caused by accident, carelessness, and wilful neglect, such records may still be found in the muniment-rooms of country houses and in the offices of professional men, in far greater abundance than is generally suspected. Now that the historical value of these documents is becoming more and more recognized, it may be hoped that the progress of destruction may be stayed. The article, from a copy of a rare and much sought-after journal can be downloaded from the Internet Archive. Google has sponsored the digitisation of books from several libraries. These books, on which copyright has expired, are available for free educational and research use, both as individual books and as full collections to aid researchers.
