Winter, Christine L., "The Portsoken presentments: an analysis of a London ward in the 15th century", Transactions of the London and Middlesex Archaeological Society, 56 (2005), 97-162.

Resum: The Portsoken presentments are the only surviving ward jury returns for any London ward. They span the period 1465-1483, but are not a complete series. Fourteen are for Edward VI's reign; the fifteenth written under Henry VII is very damaged yet indicates a different format and tone from its predecessors. The presentments list the indictments against nuisance in the ward, which fall into three categories: environmental, public, and sexual. While they do not reveal the fines or punishments inflicted on the perpetrators, the presentments provide us with a fascinating glimpse into life in a London ward in the 15th century.
