I am guessing too.
Could it be linked to a local festival? Some manor courts were held twice a
year, one often being about Michaelmas (29 Sept.). However I would have
expected the meeting to have been on the same day of the week, such as the
last Monday before Michaelmas, rather than on a fixed date.

Can anyone suggest to me why Chorley Vestry met every year on 22
September to nominate Surveyors of Highways?(Nominations were sent to
the magistrates). There was no other meeting in the year tied to such a
specific date.
