Giles book evidence, post 1660
2025-02-06 09:34:32So, Giles was born and wrote the book after the Restoration, therefore his knowledge was in context to whatever was remaining un-spoiled of the London Liberties. And written from the perspective of a Londoner..as there were no Tolls within the city and they had unlimited toll exemption around Britain. It was not from the view of the Kings Peace of the rest of the Nation.... As trespassed on after the restoration 😳
Even if introducing the Tolls, was a reasonable solution ro the state of the roads.... It cannot have been a lawful solution. But as the unpopular shipping tax had not made the nation happy before the civil war.... A general tax on the public for the roads... Might have been unfavourable and it seems the greivance with Cromwell was a perfect revenge strategy and to make an example. And gain support of Londoners who were thus encouraged with their exemptions.

More Websites now appearing with Evidence
2025-02-04 04:45:52A 2015 website has appeared. When a few months ago, google waa showing literally hardly nothing, about the "Kings Peace" and four great roads.
Here, it is Henry Of Huntingdon who is attributed to writings in the 12th century around the basis in the Edward Confessor laws, of the Kings Peace.
As these roads go through London, it must be connected to the London Liberties of Toll free (not just for Londoners) who would be toll free anyway on the Kings Peace as anyone. But their privilege extended to all roads. Not just the Kings routes. Because Travellers from Ireland had free passage on the Watling Street.
There is also now a direct connection Between Henry of Huntingdon touching upon the subject and Oliver Cromwell being from Huntingdon..and after the restoration of the Crown.....and anger at Cromwell (his head being placed on the roof of Westminster Hall for 30 years) 3 years after the restoration and during the revenge ceremonies... A Toll was placed on the Great North Road. Near Cromwells homelands. Against the law of the Kings Peace routes. (Cromwell, his body was dug up against Wealreaf law also) this was before the later tolls became introduced through late 1600s to 1700s where many were placed around London. But not within the City.
The M6 Toll which is also in the Kings Peace route, was being constructed while the 2002 congestion charge was introduced. Both further violations of constitutional law of the ancient liberties.

Woolwich Ferry has always been free
2025-02-02 23:23:10Ive touched upon this before, but not these details..
Ok, so i had not realsed the part about the Woolwich ferry always being free! Ive never used it! Though i have been across the Bridges in London and used the Blackwall Tunnel free also.

The Dulwich was founded by Edward Alleyn a particularly successful Elizabethan actor. He used his career earnings to buy the manor of Dulwich - a substantial plot then well outside London - and also set about establishing a school which he called the College of God's Gift. With no heirs to pass the land on to, in 1619 he set up a charitable bequest which in modified form holds sway over the estate today.
The Dulwich Eatate still owns the freehold to 2.5 squiare miles of southeast London strung out between Denmark Hill and Crystal Palace. It's mostly green, embracing significant parkland, woods, an 18-hole golf course and a large number of sports grounds.
Pass through at this time of year and you'll likely spot lads with bulging bags of cricket kit on their backs with bat and pads protruding. Edward Alleyn's school is now much better known as Dulwich College and independently thriving.
The toll road dates back to 1789 and was built by John Morgan who went by the unlikely title of Lord of the Manor of Penge. 😅 He lived at the top of Sydenham Hill and wanted an access road north across college fields, so they let him, but when the lease expired.
So it seems that this Toll is nothing really to do with the Liberty of London, as beyond it. And it is no toll or tax of existing major routes into London. It was just a result of creating a new road through private land, to make some money. 😏 Likely we can strike off a number of the other tolls from the map, on a similar basis. But i think that Magna Carta would have given Londoners free privilege of passage through this toll, and still should. 🤨

Milestones
2025-02-02 21:55:51The Book on London Liberties and certain acts that touch on Turnpikes, states that no milestone for London could be placed closer than 3 miles from the Location of the Central Post office building.
I thought this was a significant distance when looking at the definition of The City of London. And how far the Old Tolls were from the city centre.
I have measured Dulwich and it is about 5 miles from the centre. Therefore a lot further out than the minimum.distance of the Milestones. So an extra two miles away.
We have the map remember that i added earlier in these updates, which shows all of the old Tolls, which actually were avoidable anyway if someone went a different way in.
I think this is worth mentioning when we get onto the subject of.... What can we legally argue what London IS now?? Would Magna Carta define much more than the Old City Walls? What is the full extent in the latest charter? Can it override Magna Carta? If no size is given ir made in the Edward Confessor laws ? Only its Name. London.
Red circles are the Ancient Tolls.
White central circle is the Post Office building in London.
The inner circle is the 3 mile radius of no milestones. The outer circle is 5 mile radius which mist of the tolls are within. And the cream area in the centre is the Original Liberty of London. But there are no tolls in the wider Liberty Cap shape area unmarked) which is the more modern city boundary.
Dulwich is one of the most furthest away from the centre, though. And the others do look within the 3 miles. I will update this image with the measurements. But there IS a case to make that these were also illegal, like the Toll on the great North Road. Erimine Street, Kings Peace.
