Example of a Dulwich court roll

Dulwich Manor Court Rolls

Thanks to Dulwich College, and in particular to the Keeper of the Archives Calista Lucy, the Court Rolls of the Manor of Dulwich have all now been photographed to a high resolution, and Patrick Darby of the Dulwich Society Local History Group has been transcribing and translating them from the original Latin.

The court rolls go back to 1333 and deal with issues like tenancies, disputes and minor criminal acts. The lord of the manor of Dulwich presided but Dulwich inhabitants presented the agenda and it seems that locals had quite some control over their own affairs.

Images of the Rolls, with their transcriptions and (up to 1732) translations, are now available to view below.

Patrick Darby has written an introduction to these remarkable insights into everyday life in Dulwich past.

The rolls are arranged by date, the English translation and the Latin transcript follow, both in pdfs, then the images of the rolls in jpegs; both the front and back have been photographed where appropriate.
