Summary
This court roll is the only one to survive after 26 September 1426 and before 14 October 1448. By this date Katherine Neville had been widowed for a second time and was holding Willington manor in her own right as part of her dower.
The court roll is short and written on parchment approximately 25 cms square, but there are two other documents: the memorandum of costs for Thomas Wyltschyre's barn, on a scrappy piece of repaired parchment measuring about 18 x 21 cms; and Richard Pecke’s, the bailiff’s, allowances and expenses for Cardington and Willington, on parchment measuring 16 x 25 cms.
The court of Lady Katherine Duchess of Norfolk, held there on Friday in the Vigil of Saint George the Martyr in the eighteenth year of the Reign of King Henry the sixth after the conquest
