Reviews:
R. J. Moore-Colyer in Agricultural History Review: 'Michael Edmunds is to be richly commended for this finely transcribed and handsomely produced volume which is a worthy addition to the expanding corpus of printed manorial records. Preceded by an admirable essay by Joanna Martin ... Edmunds' transcription gives us the full text ... while a valuable glossary of English and Latin terms and a comprehensive index of personal and place names will greatly assist local historians.'
Bernard Morris in Gower: 'This new addition to the South Wales Record Society's excellent series of publications ... will make these early documents even more conveniently accessible.'
