FEET OF FINES FOR ESSEX.
PREFACE.
THE nature of a Fine was explained by Mr. R. E. G Kirk in our first volume
(1899) ; and since then various features of it have been studied in greater detail
by Mr. G. J. Turner in Huntingdonshire Fines (1913), and by Canon C. W. Foster
in the second volume of Lincolnshire Fines (1920). These may be referred to for
general knowledge of the subject, and it seems unnecessary to repeat the
information here. There are, however, some points in the present volume which
are worthy of notice.
The writ of covenant begins to supersede others ; the writ of warranty of
charter, which had been the more popular, is now less used and appears for the
last time here in 1326 (p. 225) and not again for Essex before the reign of
Henry VII. The payment of a sore sparrowhawk as consideration does not
occur after 1314 (p. 159).
The subject matter of the Fine has become simpler and almost stereotyped
in a small number of forms; there is little elaboration of detail except in the
case of settlements, generally indicated by the absence of payment of con-
sideration, which occur in increasing proportion. Manors are named more often,
and when not named can frequently be identified as such.
The sums of money mentioned as consideration are invariably exact numbers
of pounds, marks or shillings, and evidently fictitious. The acreages, however,
and the number of messuages, etc., appear to be still fairly accurate; although
round numbers may be suspected as having been given to make certain of
covering smaller amounts. Thus, the distribution of meadow agrees well with
the known situation of streams, moor and heath are rare, and the scarcity of
woodland in Dengey hundred is confirmed. Alder occurs only in a belt east of
Bardfield, Stebbing and Witham to the coast and Stour.
During the period covered by this volume we have the commencement of
another large series, that of the Notes of Fines, which were the revised drafts
from which the Feet and counterparts were engrossed. They appear to have
been made at earlier dates, but not then thought worth preservation. The
series is imperfect ; but it sometimes happens that a defective Foot can be
supplemented by the Note, and there are a few Notes for which the corresponding
Feet are missing. A facsimile (actual size) of a Note is shown in the frontis-
piece, and its form can be compared with that of the Foot and counterparts of
another Fine shown in the frontispiece to the first volume.
There is also a third large series, that of the Concords of Fines, which are a
still earlier stage in the preparation of the Fine ; but it is not continuous before
the reign of Elizabeth, and not many earlier Concords are preserved The later
Concords are chiefly interesting as containing signatures of the parties.
In the 56 completed years of Henry III. the total number of Fines relating to
Essex is 1,763, giving a yearly average of 31 5. Apart from Notes, the total is
929 and the yearly average 27-3 for the 34 completed years of Edward I., and the
total 1,117 and the yearly average 58 8 for the 19 completed years of Edward II.
In the following reigns the yearly average falls until it reaches a minimum in the
time of the Yorkist kings. It rises again under the Tudors, slowly at first and
then rapidly at the time of the Reformation.
The Court of Common Pleas was at York in the terms
Trin. 26 Mich. 32 Edward I.
Mich, and Hil. 13 Edward II.
Trin. 15 Mich. 17 Edward II.
but otherwise all Fines here calendared were levied at Westminster.
In a few cases the Feet appear to have been wrongly marked, and to refer to
another county. These are :

258 to Cambridgeshire. 430 to Herts. 617 to Bucks.
