Barnoldswick Court Rolls
INTRODUCTION
This transcription of the Barnoldswick Court Rolls was made from a copy taken from the original Rolls which can be found at Sheffield Archives in the Oakes Deeds; and have reference OD 1176.
Overall the legibility of the Rolls is quite good; only a few words cannot be made out; these have been marked thus *****. If anyone is able to decipher any words that I have been unable to; would they please let me know.
A microfilm copy and paper copy of the Rolls can be found within the holdings of the Barnoldswick Local History Society; who kindly funded this project; which can be found at Barnoldswick Library.
