The Ames Foundation in collaboration with the Southampton Records Series has produced an edition in translation of the surviving records of the Common and Piepowder courts of Southampton from the mid-fifteenth century. The paper edition of these records appeared in 2011 as volume 45 of the Southampton Records Series. An online edition will follow on this site. In the meantime, with the kind permission of the mayor and council of Southampton and of the city archivist, we are able to present here images of almost all the documents that appeared in the edition. These images are for private use only. Any other use of the images requires permission. Write Southampton Archives, Civic Centre, Civic Centre Road, Southampton, SO14 7LY UNITED KINGDOM (city.archives@southampton.gov.uk). Permission is also required of the holder of the copyright of the images: Copyright © Tom Olding, 2010.

The numbers on the images correspond roughly to that of the foliation of the documents except that most of the documents in register format were photographed in two-page format, the verso of one folio and the recto of the next.
