Townships In Montgomeryshire
Townships in Montgomeryshire are divisions of the ancient parishes of the county of Montgomery. In 1539 townships were grouped together in Hundreds. The Townships which were recognised were based on the older Welsh divisions of Tref, or plural Trefi, which had formed the Welsh administrative districts of the Commote. Not all of the former ''Tref'' were recognised and some smaller ''trefi'' were amalgamated into larger townships. A township was allocated to a particular parish—that is, one of the ivilparishes of Wales (analogous to civil parishes of England), the predecessors to today's communities of Wales. The townships were recognised as administrative districts, rather than the parishes. Townships in Montgomeryshire The Townships have been mapped by Murray Chapman. The Townships were grouped into Hundreds, and this formed the basis for the Montgomeryshire Court of Great Sessions. The Court met for the first time in 1541, and established the civil and criminal administra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
