A fresh, very neat and clean horizontal manorial document. 12” x 16”. A bit weak at the edges and some of the folds, otherwise in excellent condition. The document was too wide to fit onto a transcribed page, so it has been split into two parts, with numbers, e.g. [*1] to indicate which sections in each part belong together.
