Synopsis

This book delves into the fascinating world of medieval Lincolnshire, specifically examining the history of five Gilbertine priories: Gatley, Ormsby, Alvingham, Sixle, and Bullington. The author explores the priories' acquisition of land and property, tracing the origins of their estates through a collection of charters meticulously transcribed from the Exchequer Memoranda Rolls. These charters, dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries, provide a unique glimpse into the complex social and legal landscape of the time. They reveal the intricate relationships between lords and tenants, the evolving role of the Church, and the gradual shift from a predominantly agrarian economy to one that increasingly embraced sheep farming. The author masterfully illuminates the practices and challenges of land ownership, highlighting the significance of written documents in establishing and solidifying claims to property. The book reveals the rich tapestry of medieval life in Lincolnshire, offering valuable insights into the social and economic forces that shaped the region during this critical period.
