Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.The main aims of this research project were: 1) To collect information relating to the peasant land market on the estates of the bishopric of Winchester in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. 2) To determine the number and variety of transactions in land on these estates and their fluctuations over time, in order to provide important information about medieval rural society. 3) To resolve whether individual property rights in southern England were well developed in this period or whether they were circumscribed by seigneurial interference and custom.Main Topics:The data consist of a complete transcription/translation of all entry and marriage fines recorded in the 73 pipe rolls of the bishopric of Winchester between 1262/3 and 1348/9.

In each case a record was made showing the name(s) of the incoming tenant(s); the name(s) of the previous tenant(s); the relationship(s) (if any) between the various parties involved in the transaction; the amount and type of land being transferred; the location of that land; the amount paid to the bishop as entry fine; any noteworthy circumstances surrounding the transfer; and any conditions under which the transfer was said to have taken place, including stipulations made by the bishop. Other information relating to the tenants, including the payment of court fines (recorded in detail only for the years 1282-1303), the payment of heriots, fines of manumission, permission to migrate and commutation of labour...
