The Manor and the Borough

Více o knize

Focusing on English Local Government, this book delves into the Manor and the Parish, exploring how certain exemptions and immunities allowed local inhabitants to assert self-governance and evade broader county authority. It provides an in-depth analysis of specific areas, including Westminster and Welsh boroughs, while discussing the impact of municipal democracies and the municipal revolution on local administration. The historical context enriches the understanding of governance structures and their evolution over time.
