The Manor Court

From the 17th Century onwards, there are more records of how the inhabitents of Frodsham lived: their standard of living; social status; trade or profession; their relationship with the Church or the Lord of the Manor and what kind of people they were. For example, the pleas made at Manor Court: A John Smith was presented at the Court Leet and Court Baron of the Manor in 1680, for not cocking his hay properly and was fined 1s. Six months later he was again presented and fined 5s for not maintaining his buildings. which were, of course, leased from the estate.
