Copeland Manor Court Records
The list shown below shows those Manor Court Records that have survived and are available in the County Record Offices.
The period shown is for guidance only and it must not be taken that the available records cover these years consecutively.

The Manor court records may include the papers from both the Courts Leet & Courts Baron as well as surveys, admittances, rentals & enfranchisements etc and are a valuable source to both the family and local historians.
The Heading “Records Location” refers to the Record Collection held by the County Record Office. In this case almost certainly Whitehaven Record Office
