These annual account rolls for the estate of the bishopric of Winchester include details of entry and marriage fines paid by manorial tenants for some 60 manors spread over Hampshire, Somerset, Wiltshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Surrey. The tenants were required to pay an entry fine every time a change in land tenancy occurred, and they were required to pay a marriage fine every time an unfree female tenant wished to marry.<br> <br> 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 services, were sampled. The published pipe roll of 1301/2 was employed to provide illustrative and contextual material. Some sources of secondary importance (most notably a collection of thirteenth-century custumals, which survive for about 35 of the bishopric's manors) were used to augment the information found in the pipe rolls.<br> <br> The manors covered by the pipe rolls are: Alresford Borough; Adderbury; Alresford; Ashmansworth; Alverstoke; Beauworth; Bishops Fonthill; Burghclere; Brighstone; Bishops Hull; Bishopstoke; Billingbear; Bishopstone; Brockhampton; Brightwell; Bishops Sutton; Bitterne; Bishops Waltham; Bentley; Cams; Calbourne; Cheriton; Corfe; Crawley; Culham; Cove; Downton Borough; Downton; Droxford; East Meon Church; Ecchinswell; East Knoyle; East Meon; Esher; Fareham; Farnham; Fulford; Francheville; Gosport; Hambledon; Hindon Borough; Highclere; Holway; Havant; Harwell; Ivinghoe; Kingston St Mary; Kingston St Mary and Nailsbourn; Legh Militis; Merdon; Mill Lane; Morton; Marwell; Nailsbourne; Newtown; North Waltham; Overton Borough; Otterford; Overton; Poundisford; Ringwood; Rimpton; Sandleford; Southwark; Staplegrove; Southwell; Taunton; Taunton Borough; Trull and Bishops Hull; Trull; Twyford; Upton; Warfield; Witney Borough; Woodhay; Wargrave; Wield; Waltham St Lawrence; Witney; Wolvesey; West Wycombe.</h5> <h3>Coverage: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'> Time Period Covered:</i> 1262 - 1349 There are some gaps in the series. <br><i class='myclass'>Dates of Fieldwork: </i> 1996 - 1998 <br><i class='myclass'>Country: </i> England <br><i class='myclass'>Geography: </i> Berkshire; Buckinghamshire; Hampshire; Oxfordshire; Somerset; Surrey; Wiltshire <br><i class='myclass'>Spatial Units: </i> No information recorded <br><i class='myclass'>Observation Units: </i> Text units (documents/chapters/words); Entry and marriage fines recorded in the Winchester Pipe Rolls. <br><i class='myclass'>Kind of Data: </i> Textual data; Numeric data; Individual (micro) level </h5> <h3>Universe Sampled: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Location of Units of Observation:</i> Subnational <br><i class='myclass'>Population:</i> Entry and marriage fines recorded in the Winchester Pipe Rolls between 1262/3 and 1348/9 </h5> <h3>Methodology: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Time Dimensions: </i> Time Series <br><i class='myclass'>Sampling Procedures: </i> No sampling (total universe) <br><i class='myclass'>Number of Units:</i> (A) 36515 (obtained) Entry fines<br> (B) 5488 (obtained) Marriage fines <br><i class='myclass'>Method of Data Collection: </i> Transcription of existing materials; Compilation or synthesis of existing material <br><i class='myclass'>Data Sources: </i> Winchester Pipe Rolls, 1262/3-1348/9, Hampshire Record Office, 11M59/B1/29-101 </h5><h3>Language(s) of Written Materials: </h3> <h5>Study Description: English<br>Study Documentation: English, Latin<br></h5> <h3>Access: </h3><h5> <i class='myclass'>Access Conditions: </i> The depositor has specified that registration is required and standard conditions of use apply.
