	Medieval English urban history - Colchester
		Colchester's first known royal charter was received in 1189 and gave the borough the foundations of self-government.
		In Colchester's case the main rivals were the Abbot of St. John's, a powerful and wealthy ecclesiastic, and John FitzWalter lord of Lexden manor together with his steward (and tenant of Langenhoe manor) Lionel de Bradenham.
		In return the borough recognized the abbey's warren in West Donyland, granted the monks and their tenants freedom from tolls on goods for personal use (goods for purposes of resale, however, were still to be subject to tolls), and agreed to the abbey having pillories and cucking-stools in West Donyland and Greenstead.

	Medieval Colchester: Borough government \| British History Online
		Colchester's charter granted the burgesses the right to elect their bailiffs and a justice to hold the pleas of the Crown in the moot hall, a significant step in the growth of the borough's liberties if it was granted in the 1130s or 1140s, and one which was certainly enjoyed from 1178.
		Colchester's failure to create its own chief officer may suggest a lack of cohesion among the commonalty (possibly related to the absence of a merchant guild or other focus for communal action); alternatively the infrequency of royal intervention in the borough may have meant that the burgesses felt no need for their own officers.
		The charter of 1447 exempted Colchester from the jurisdiction of the admiral.

	Florilegium urbanum - Religion - The fate of heretics
		Memorandum that on 27 October 1428, during the term of John Beche and Robert Selby as bailiffs of the town of Colchester, a certain William Chivelyng tailor of Colchester was, in the church of St. Nicholas, Colchester condemned for heresy before mag.
		Colchester being in the diocese of London, he appears to have been snared only through his visit to Ipswich, where perhaps he was involved in meetings with other heretics.
		The speed with which they fulfilled their duties may owe something to a dispute underway at that time between the Colchester authorities and the abbot of St. John's, one episode in an ongoing battle over jurisdiction, with a series of related documents copied into the borough register, the Chivelyng execution being one.
