Spike Gibbs' book uses manorial officeholding to examine political and social change in the late medieval and early modern English village, demonstrating the vitality of manorial structures and the active participation of tenants, creating inequalities within communities.

Format: Hardback
Length: 304 pages
Publication date: 27 July 2023
Publisher: Cambridge University Press


Spike Gibbs employs the study of manorial officeholding, where officials were selected from among tenants to assist in managing the lord's manorial estate, as a lens through which to analyze political and social transformation in the late medieval and early modern English village. By utilizing micro-studies of previously unexplored archival records, the book spans the medieval/early modern divide, examining changes between 1300 and 1650. Through this approach, Gibbs showcases the resilience of manorial structures throughout the medieval and early modern eras, the active and voluntary engagement of tenants in these frameworks, and the ways in which this led to inequalities within communities. This book is part of the Flip it Open Programme and may also be accessible Open Access. For more information, please visit Cambridge Core on our website.
