The Fee tail and the common recovery in medieval England 1176-1502
Fee tails were a basic building block for family landholding from the end of the thirteenth to the beginning of the twentieth century. The classic entail was an interest in land that was inalienable and could only pass at death by inheritance to the lineal heirs of the original grantee. Biancalana’s study describes the development of the fee tail from the late twelfth to the fifteenth century, and the invention, development, and early use of the common recovery, a reliable legal mechanism for the destruction of entails, from 1440 to 1502.

A Dictionary of English Folklore ABEE
‘Folklore’ is notoriously difficult to define, and the term now covers a broader field than it did when invented in 1848, linking many aspects of cultural traditions past and present. It includes whatever is informally communicated, created or done jointly by members of a group; it can circulate through any media (oral, written, or visual); it generally has roots in the past, but is not necessarily very ancient. It has present relevance.

Online version of “Taste of TADS (1)”
This volume contains a small selection from the records of the Tadley and District Society, accumulated since the Society was founded in November 1984.
The selection includes personal memories of members and invited speakers, important aspects of the history of Tadley and adjacent areas, and summary reports of some of the talks. It is intended to show the wide variety of subjects presented to the Society and, it is hoped, to stimulate sufficient interest in the reader to encourage him or her to join the Society at the evening meetings held in St Paul’s Church Hall, Tadley, usually on the third Wednesday of each month.

Founded nearly ten years ago, in November 1984, TADS (Tadley and District Society) local history group continues to publicise the rich past of Tadley and the surrounding area.
