Abstract: Abstract At the start of this study, a question was posed. Why did Robert Belle, a merchant of Newcastle upon Tyne, not enrol his £40 debt recognisance with William Stockdale, a London draper, at his home Staple in Newcastle in 1423, but instead journey nearly 500 km in order to register this transaction in the Staple court at Westminster? On the way—depending upon his route—he passed by the busy Staple and Merchant courts of York, Lincoln and Nottingham (all of which lay close to the road now designated the ‘A1’). He also spurned the debt courts of Hull, Boston and Norwich (all of which were accessible via the east coast sea route) on his way to Westminster. This book has sought to answer this question.
