Scope and content
A court leet record book, 25 April 1771-29 December 1806, of the manor of Bishopston, Glamorgan. The volume also contains loose sheets of notes in a 20th century hand relating to some of the records.
The court records are written in what appear to be four different hands. There is some annotation, possibly in the same hand as the loose sheets. There is an index at the back of the volume; it appears that the last page of the index is written in a later hand and is pasted onto the recto of the previous page.
