Coppull

The documents shown below relate to the history of Coppull and are publicly accessible. A key at the foot of the page relates to the Location column.

Where the number in the "Ref" column is highlighted in blue, this indicates that there is a linked page which contains a partial or full transcription of the document.

Many of the dates are derived from the regnal years in the documents (ie "the second year of the reign of Charles the second"), in the case of the Latin deeds these are very difficult to read. The contents and detail of all documents cited below should be independently examined and verified before they are used in any published material.
