The boundaries of the Manor of Yardley

by John Morris Jones, reproduced with permission and with some amendments by Michael Byrne. Copyright remains with the estate of the original author.

This essay was written in 1962, and compared boundaries between 972 and 1962. A copy of a Presentment from 1495, found in 1964, was added as a supplement, but not integrated into the comparison. Notes on boundary changes in 1966 and 1974 have been added. The 1495 document is presented in its entirety: others are present in extracts in the comparison section.
