Courts, or
Eyres, were normally held annually in the region, a week after the close of the county court. The
Justice of Chester presided over the courts, and he would spend several days visiting each hundred in the region. On 13 October 1445 he held an Eyre at either
Middlewich or
Northwich for the Buckley and Northwich Hundreds, grouped together for convenience. Annual
tourns were also held by the
High Sheriff of Cheshire; on 26 September one such tourn was held for Bucklow Hundred in
Hale. ==See also==
