About this book
The English Village Community, by Frederic Seebohm, is an essay in economic history, examined in its relations to the manorial and tribal systems and to the common or open field system of husbandry. The text says the Court Leet is therefore the Court of the township, the Court Baron that of the manor.
The text says that in the Court Leet at Michaelmas the jurors of the king elect and present to the lord two constables, six headboroughs (two for each of the three wards), two ale-conners, two leather-searchers and sealers, and a bellman, who is also the watchman and crier of the town. The text says groups of settlers may therefore be regarded as sometimes forming something very much like a free village community upon the public land of the Empire. The text says the portions coloured dark green on the map are described as Green Commons, and those coloured light green as Lammas Meadows.
