The Wakefield manorial court rolls are a significant and remarkable historical resource. Beginning in 1274, they provide a record of the proceedings of the manor court down to the abolition of copyhold tenure in 1925, with a further number of registers dealing with the administration of this property in the decades following. Although relatively few of the court rolls have survived up until 1322, from that year on there is an almost continuous, and very rich, record of the court’s proceedings contained in more than 670 substantial court rolls. Throughout its history, the Wakefield manor court met every three weeks, like most manorial courts; but the manor was unusual for its exceptional size. On average a typical manor would comprise roughly six square miles (approximately 1500 hectares) whereas the manor of Wakefield encompassed an area of well over a hundred (almost 39,000 hectares) and occupied a great swathe of the West Riding of Yorkshire containing a range of agricultural, industrial and mercantile interests. In recognition of the international significance of these records the Wakefield manorial court rolls were enrolled on the UNESCO Memory of the World register in 2011. The archive was deposited with the Yorkshire Archaeological and Historical Society by the Earl of Yarborough, as Lord of the Manor, in 1943 and since 2015 it has been held for the Society by the Special Collections department of the Brotherton Library, University of Leeds. Since 1901 the Yorkshire Archaeological and Historical Society has been engaged in a project to publish the court rolls. Initially focussing on the rolls for the Middle Ages, a new series was established in the mid 1970s to publish a wider chronological range and engage modern historians unfamiliar with the court rolls as a source. To date the new series has published eight Religion, time and memorial culture in late medieval Ripon, by Stephen Werronen, Woodbridge, Boydell & Brewer (for the Royal Historical Society), 2017, 212 pp., 4 b&w illus, £50 (hardback), ISBN 978-0-86193-345-7

中世纪晚期里彭的宗教、时间和纪念文化

韦克菲尔德庄园法院名册是重要而非凡的历史资源。从 1274 年开始，他们提供了庄园法院诉讼程序的记录，直到 1925 年废除版权所有，在接下来的几十年中还有更多的登记册处理该财产的管理。尽管在 1322 年之前保存下来的法院卷册相对较少，但从那一年起，几乎连续且非常丰富的法院诉讼记录包含在 670 多份重要的法院卷册中。纵观其历史，韦克菲尔德庄园法院与大多数庄园法院一样，每三周举行一次会议。但这座庄园因其非凡的规模而与众不同。平均而言，一个典型的庄园大约有 6 平方英里（约 1500 公顷），而韦克菲尔德庄园则占地超过一百（近 39,000 公顷），并占据了约克郡西部骑马区的大片土地，其中包含一系列农业，工业和商业利益。认识到这些记录的国际意义，韦克菲尔德庄园法庭名册于 2011 年被列入联合国教科文组织世界记忆名录。 该档案由雅伯勒伯爵作为庄园主存放于约克郡考古和历史学会， 1943 年和 2015 年以来，它一直由利兹大学 Brotherton 图书馆特别收藏部为学会举办。自 1901 年以来，约克郡考古和历史学会一直致力于出版法庭名册。最初专注于中世纪的卷轴，在 1970 年代中期建立了一个新系列，以出版更广泛的年代范围，并吸引不熟悉宫廷卷轴的现代历史学家作为资料来源。迄今为止，新系列已出版了中世纪晚期 Ripon 的八种宗教、时间和纪念文化，作者：Stephen Werronen、Woodbridge、Boydell & Brewer（为皇家历史学会），2017 年，212 页，4 黑白 illus，50 英镑（精装本） ), ISBN 978-0-86193-345-7
