Court of the Manor of Deopham of the Dean & Chapter of Canterbury April 1814

Comments

This was a huge Court, applying all the declarations of the Inclosures Commission relevant to the Manor’s Copyhold lands. Only the first transaction (the surrender by Joseph Say) can be considered routine business.
No fines were imposed; rents in every case were to be “subject to the same Charges and by and under the same Rents, Customs and Services as the said Copyhold Premises were held”.
Generally plots before the inclosure process had been measured “by estimation”; as a result there are slight variations between the existing copyhold dimensions and those of the Inclosures Commission.
All of the Deopham Manor copyhold pieces identified by the Inclosure Commission were transacted in this court.
The Manor of Deopham Hall held a similar Court on the same day to review all of their Copyhold lands. The Manor of Shadwells otherwise Cockerells held theirs on August 18^th 1814.
