The Role of the Manor Court

Managing Community Responsibilities and Conflict in Late Medieval and Early Modern Asby

Presenter: Keith Cooper

The ‘Court Baron’ was the lord’s court for all matters relating to the management of his manor.  Consequently, it was responsible for making the various by-laws, or ‘paines’, for governing the way in which tenants were to use, and have access to, the resources of the manor and also responsible for ensuring that those ‘paines’ were complied with.  The ‘Court Baron’ also acted as a tribunal for the lord’s tenants to bring private disputes against each other.

This talk will use records from the ‘Court Baron’ of the manor of Asby Winderwath, together with material drawn from elsewhere in Cumbria, to explore how these courts – in the late Medieval and early Modern period – defined and managed tenants’ responsibilities, as well as resolving some of their conflicts with each other.

ATG Activities

We will be working with local landowners to identify small areas of land that can be used to plant trees or hedges. Occasional requests will go out to members, seeking volunteers to survey areas of land to assess the age and health of trees and to identify possible planting areas, as well as to take part in planting trees and hedges. These activities will normally be scheduled to last for no more than three hours.

The Tree Group has insurance to cover members carrying out these activities.

COVID Policy (Feb.2022)

Unfortunately Covid-19 has not gone away, and we still want everyone to feel safe whilst being able to enjoy the film.

  • We use ‘cabaret-style’ seating around suitably spaced tables.
  • We recommend that you continue to wear a face covering when moving around the village hall, though this may be removed whilst you are seated.
  • It would also be appreciated if you could complete an antigen (lateral flow) test before attending.  (We are more than happy to refund your ticket should your test unfortunately prove positive.)
