Sorry Cashman but I've never heard of a grain court.
Years ago I started a dictionary of all the old words and places in Accrington, that I came across whilst searching thro the Halmote Court Rolls, the Coucher Book of Kirkstall and the Chetham Society Records. Never came across any thing relating to Grain Court. The dictionary runs to about 70 A4 pages in alphabetical order A to Z.
I'l ask you one whats a Zitherator, came across an entry "William the Zitherator", a signature on an old document, and don't cheat by googling it.
Retlaw.
