Your right about the latin bit Eric, there are some 4 or 5 documents relating to Accrington in the Coucher Book of Kirkstall, when I was translating them, I couldn't find some of the words in any latin dictionary, met a high ranking Catholic, who said some of the words were church Latin, usually found in ancient Roman Catholic Church documents, he interpreted those words for me.
Retlaw.
