The Cheshire Forest Eyre Roll of 1357 (TNA CHES 33/6) is a rich yet underused source that offers detailed insight into the topography, rural economy, forest law, finance, and administration of fourteenth-century Cheshire. This volume contains the records of the Delamere and Mondrum and the Macclesfield eyres and complements The Record Society of Lancashire and Cheshire’s 2015 publication of the Wirral forest eyre.
This volume presents full transcriptions and translations of the forest pleas, alongside calendars of the claims, with one claim - that of Richard Doune - reproduced in full as an example. Together, these records illuminate the operation of forest justice and local society in medieval Cheshire.
