Place name:

Ewyas Lacy

1535

Description:

Extract from ‘A Collection of Statutes Connected with the General Administration of the Law: Arranged According to the Order of Subjects, with Notes, Volume 4’  (Google eBook, Great Britain, William David Evans, Anthony Hammond, Thomas Colpitts Granger, W. H. Bond, 1836).

 

The images show the section of the Act concerning the Laws to be used in Wales and enabling the annexation of Ewyas Lacy into the County of Hereford, and are taken from Google Books web pages made available for public access.
