The Group held a very successful meeting on 20 September 2008 with the morning devoted to presentations on Manorial Records by Isabel Sullivan and Matthew Piggott, both of Surrey History Centre. During the afternoon we heard fascinating updates on the studies at Cranleigh and Hambledon, with a most interesting first presentation on the studies now in progress at Esher. We are grateful to the staff at Surrey History Centre for not only hosting this meeting but also for setting up a display of many original manorial documents with appropriate transcriptions.
