| Description | Hadleigh manor lies ten miles west of Ipswich in southern Suffolk. From 1279, a reeve accounts for its receipts and expenses, recording accounts for corn, stock, and works on the dorse, and attaching an inventory of the stock and manorial household goods and equipment at year end. By 1324, this official is a serjeant, though the accounts are unchanged, except that the inventory is dropped. By 1405, the manor has been let to farm and a farmer accounts very briefly. There is also an account of a collector of the moneys received from and expended on Hadleigh's courts, also from 1405. |
