The material upon which this paper is based is largely confined to the unpublished records of a single Norfolk manor. The aim of the paper is to sketch so far as possible the conditions that within this manor effected and accompanied the decay of serfdom.
page 123 note 1 Some three years ago Mr. A. C. Cole, the present owner of Forncett Manor, most kindly allowed me to examine the Forncett records, and, to facilitate my work, consented to deposit them in the Public Record Office. Through the courtesy of the officials of the Public Record Office I was permitted to consult the rolls there. Mr. Cole has since presented these rolls to the Cambridge University Library, where they now are.
