RN #170 Land Tenures North Wales

This notebook contains a reference titled: "A History of Ancient Tenures of Land In North Wales and The Marches", by Alred N. Palmer, and Edward Own, 1910.  It is a wonderful reference for those interested in understand land use in early Welsh culture.  There are also some notes on "The Domesday Book" which is the first recorded attempt to list the land organization as it was conceived in 1066.
