Rod, If you go to the Manorial Documents Register website you can search for the location of the relevant manorial records if they exist: http://www.hmc.gov.uk/mdr/mdr.htm You can search by manor and/or by parish. Since manorial records are often to be found amongst family and estate papers they could be deposited anywhere, no necessarily in a record office in the 'correct' county. They could also be at the PRO or privately owned, in which case there is no automatic right of access.
