Archival history

GB 0074 DD/0014 1810-1929 Collection 1.14 linear metres Fulham Manor

The Manor of Fulham was held of the Bishop of London from the year 691. It covered all of what is now Hammersmith and Fulham, Acton, Ealing and Finchley.

Donated to Hammersmith and Fulham Archives and Local studies by Messrs Marshal and Co, Solicitors in 1948.

Transferred from Hammersmith and Fulham Archives and Local History Centre in 2015.

Records of Fulham Manor including the papers of the clerks to the homage jury. This collection is complementary to the minute books preserved in DD/0015. All the correspondence in the papers is reflected in the minutes, and some comparable loose papers are also attached to the minutes. The papers do, however, in many instances provide greater detail, including some additional plans.

The decision to take the subject group as the basic unit, although unavoidable both because of the original order and the size of the collection, means that the list is in some ways summary. In particular:

1) The form of documents is not usually given. Most groups are composed primarily of correspondence.

2) The name of the party is only given when one, or occasionally two or three, persons or authorities are involved.

3) The party may or may not be the same person as a party named as the subject of the correspondence.

The original archival order of the collection has been mostly lost, and it may always have been muddled. It would seem that papers, although not placed in files, were grouped on a subject basis, and this has been maintained. The first section, however - papers relating directly to the manor courts - may now include items which were originally filed in such groups.

These records are available for public inspection, although records containing personal information are subject to access restrictions under the UK Data Protection Act, 1998.

Copyright rests with the City of London.
