Excerpt from Pedes Finium: Or Fines, Relating to the County of Norfolk, Levied in the King's Court From the Third Year of Richard I. To the End of the Reign of JohnTopographers have, I think, unaccountably neglected the mass of information which the Feet of Fines afford. The labour necessary to carefully go through the unindexed files is no doubt immense, but the results are so valuable that an account of a manor or locality is incomplete indeed without such labour being undertaken. As far as regards Norfolk, Le Neve no doubt supplied Blomefield with notes of most of the more important fines, so our county history is probably more perfect in this respect than any other, but there are many instances in which important topographical and genealogical facts have been passed over. Moreover, at the time Le Neve was working so industriously, very slight interest was taken in families which were not or had not been in a knightly or gentle position, and no notes were taken by him of the names of the small freeholders, many of whose descendants are now of importance in the county.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
