Note: Numbers 44, 45, 47, 48, 49 and 50 appear to be notes of fines. These were the notes made by the chirographer from the concord or actual agreement signed by the parties and from the other proceedings, the date given being that of the concord
He used them to draw up the chirograph or feet of fines which, with other proceedings annexed, was deposited with the custos brevium, the notes being retained by the chirographer by whom they were filed in terms. Most of these are endorsed with a filing mark. See also Guide to the Public Records M.S. Guiseppi 1923, vol. I, pp. 248-9 and Final Concords in the County of Lincoln, C.W. Foster, L.R.S. 17, 1920, pp. xxiii-xxiv.
A Note on Cragg 3/39-40, 42-51, ?52, ?62:
These documents of varied class and date seem from their nature to be stray from the public records of long standing. There is no clue to their provenance. Two letters from W.O. Massingberd to Captain Cragg about them are pasted in the album dated 1908 and 1910 respectively. One at least has a dealer's number and price written on the back in pencil. See Cragg. | Temporal: | [?6 Oct 1312] | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
