Revisiting a Set of 13th-Documents
\nin Latin from Preston in Suffolk<\/h2>\n

With a Winning Competition<\/h3>\n

In our earlier blogpost on this subject, Full Court Preston<\/a>, we showcased 2 single-sheet documents which came from a shared location, from dates there separated across generations, and with or without their original seals. We called them Preston Charters 1<\/strong> and 2<\/strong>, now preserved in a private collection.\u00a0 Charter 2<\/strong> lies at the top of the pile in the image here at the left.<\/p>\n

Now, having had the opportunity to examine the full set of medieval charters from Preston which came as a group into that collection, we can call these two by their present owner’s numbering system (in these cases, Preston Charters 5<\/strong> and 7<\/strong>), as we also announce the winner of our competition to transcribe and translate one or other, or both, of this selected pair.<\/p>\n

Other reports on our website examine single-sheet medieval and later documents with, or without, their original seals.\u00a0 These reports appear<\/p>\n
