I found a chancery case, thanks to the much-mourned A2A site. I didn't find all of it, there were lots of bits missing, but I managed to get the gist of it. The case concerned the rightful ownership of one field which had appeared in a will of 1492(?). The case staggered on for 70 years in the ~1800s, three generations of litigants pursuing this tiny field! However, the bits I did find were extremely helpful, with heralds visitations etc. (The final judgment was that they should have half each.)
