New material on Medievalgenealogy.org.uk In the Feet of Fines section, abstracts of fines added 30 December 2016 Berkshire (1272-1307) (269 fines)
Using the Feet of Fines via medievalgenealogy.org.uk online is ideal because:
counties which have been entered (instead of having to search numerous printed volumes, usually county based)
inheritance, etc)
matched to modern versions as far as possible, so to search for Fringford (Oxon) for example will bring up Fines with much earlier spellings as in the original such as ‘de Fryngeford’.
Images of the documents are given where available
