Extent of the Manor of Deopham of the Prior & Convent of Canterbury 1488

Contents

Introduction

This document is in four sections. It starts with an introductory paragraph, and then continues with a lengthy list tenants of freehold property from which the Manor claimed annual rents. Later terriers did not contain the freehold property so this is particularly valuable information. There is a brief section listing freehold property of this Manor in Wicklewood, and finally a listing of the copyhold property. In all 185 freehold tenancies are described and 30 copyhold pieces.
A 1527 Terrar and Rental is explicitly titled “excluding the Rectory”: that would appear to be the case with this Extent.
