That sounds interesting Dawn; <br>
<br>
I am guessing that beating the bounds on the feast of Corpus Christi
(the Thursday after Trinity Sunday) features in the text.� It still
happens; I have seen the procession round St Giles' parish, Oxford,
although I believe that they no longer knock a choirboy's head
against the boundary stone to make the point.<br>
<br>
Can't help with the genre term, but perhaps a look into DCRM(MSS)
will help.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>

<p>Dear collective wisdom, this is my first time trying to apply
dcrm(b) to a manuscript.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I'm looking for a genre term for "manuscript" and I can't
seem to find one in the RBMS controlled vocabularies, or
lcgft. Can I just use lcsh?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I have 3 handwritten leaves (it appears there are some
missing), the text is about village fences and some of the
English traditions around them (like annual circumambulation).</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>No provenance, no author, the date 1865 is mentioned.
Obviously a Level K record.</p>

<p>Any help is much appreciated!<br>
