This paper rebuts Pamela Slocombe’s suggestion that manorial lords were principally responsible for building the houses of their customary (copyhold) tenants in the later Middle Ages. After briefly reviewing the evidence for landlords’ involvement in freeholds, leaseholds and urban buildings, taking note of previous studies of documentation of peasant building, and omitting published manorial accounts that say nothing about buildings, it examines published accounts covering fourteen widely scattered estates to show that normally nothing was spent on customary tenements. Original MS accounts are then analysed to show that lords’ expenditure on customary structures was restricted to a small minority of buildings on a minority of manors of a minority of lords, for short periods in the fifteenth century only, and for exceptional reasons.

为什么历史学家相信普通租户通常会为他们自己的建筑买单：回复 Pamela SLOCOMBE

这篇论文反驳了帕梅拉·斯洛科姆 (Pamela Slocombe) 的建议，即在中世纪后期，庄园主主要负责建造他们惯常（复制）租户的房屋。在简要回顾了地主参与永久业权、租赁权和城市建筑的证据，注意到以前对农民建筑文献的研究，并省略了对建筑物只字不提的已发表庄园账目后，它检查了涵盖 14 个广泛分散的庄园的已公开账目，以显示通常不会在惯用的物业上花费任何东西。然后对原始 MS 帐户进行分析，以表明领主在习惯结构上的支出仅限于少数领主的少数庄园的少数建筑物，仅在 15 世纪的短期内并且出于特殊原因。
