![]() In a large manor, the steward would summon the court by instructing manorial officers to fix a notice to the church door or have it read out in church. However, there was often an overlap in the type of business conducted in the court baron and court leet. In addition, the court leet dealt with the election of graves, the election and swearing of the jury, election of constables and the presentment of offences, including those relating to matters of Crown jurisdiction franchised to the manorial lord (e.g., brewing and baking for sale). A suit roll was kept for the homage sworn by tenants if they were absent, a fine would be imposed. Business included a view of frankpledge, at which all men over the age of twelve were bound to appear and make their "pledge" to keep the king's peace. There was, in addition, a twice-yearly court leet, or tourn, held after Michaelmas and after Easter, which all residents of the manor were obliged to attend. These courts dealt with copyhold land transfers, managing the open fields, settling disputes between individuals and manorial offences. This was the court baron or manorial court, which all freeholders whose terms of tenure included suit of court and copyholders were obliged to attend. The court was to meet every three weeks throughout the year, although meetings could be more irregular than this. The manor court was the lowest court of law in England and governed those areas over which the lord of the manor had jurisdiction it applied only to those who resided in or held lands within the manor. ![]() My door is always open!
