Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Charters and Letters Patent: Granted to the Borough
On page 48, line 6, will be found a reference to Nowe Hythe. This means New Hethe, or New Hythe, in contradistinction to Old Hethe (now Old Heath). Nowe was written in the Charter of Edward IV. By a mistake of the scribe, and the error has been copied in subsequent Charters.
Necessarily, many of the words used in the translations are obsolete.
I have added a Glossary giving brief explanations of some of these and other words.

Excerpt from The Charters and Letters Patent: Granted to the Borough
The Charters of Colchester take us back to the year 1189, and prove also that before that date Colchester was a self-contained borough, with its own Courts, with power to appoint its own rulers and justices, with immunity from outside exactions, levies, penalties, and obligations, with freedom from the restrictions of the forest laws which affected other parts of the county and the country, with the cherished liberty of hunting the fox, the hare, and the polecat, and with the immemorial right of the river and the fishery in the Colne and its creeks, from bank to bank, from North Bridge in the middle of the borough to West Ness at the river's mouth about three miles below Brightlingsea. The Charter of 1189 tells us that these rights were then "confirmed" to the Burgesses of the royal borough by their lord the King. Other ancient documents in the great collection of the Borough muniments prove that the town's liberties had been in existence long before 1189, and bad been confirmed by previous Charters. In Saxon times the same rights and immunities no doubt existed, though possibly not defined with pen and ink and parchment, but maintained by tradition and custom. The way in which these rights of Colchester were gradually defined and extended and brought into conformity with the gradually developing life of the country may be traced in the following translations of the twenty-six known Charters of the Borough, which take us by stepping stones, not too far apart, through eight centuries of English history.
The Charters have been treasured with considerable care by the successive rulers of the town.
