My wife, who is a Church Historian, may be able to help with Medieval English. Contact me off list if that would be of any use.

Hello Hugh
Thank you for your email
Unfortunately there is nobody within NIEA; Historic Monuments that can help translate the Grimsby’s borough charter of 1201.
Good luck
Emma.

Subject: Medieval English?
Hello All,
I need to "translate" Grimsby's borough charter of 1201 which appears to be in medieval English. Does anyone know where I can get this done fairly quickly without enormous cost? I can make out a few words, but I struggle enough with some people's handwriting in "modern" English so I'm not being very successful on my own.
It's probably the equivalent to 1/2 a page of A4.
Thanks,
Hugh
