Totmonslow Heritage: A place where disputes were settled and offenders punished

The other really outstanding fact that marks Totmonslow out is connected to its historical role. Around 1200 years ago, it was the place where people from this area gathered. They came together at certain times of the year to settle disputes and carry out justice. These meetings were known as ‘moots’. And then: from about the year 800, England developed a loose system of administration based on areas known as ‘hundreds’.
