Leeds was a manor and township in the large ancient parish of Leeds St Peter, in the Skyrack wapentake of the West Riding of Yorkshire. |
The wapentake passed through it, then the men, then the second torch. |
Where Scandinavian influence was strongest, such as Yorkshire and the Five Boroughs, the equivalent sub-division was the wapentake. |
The sheriff cast a glance first at the justice of the quorum and then at the wapentake. |
You know that I could not help going when the wapentake came for me. |
Wakefield was anciently a market and parish town in the Agbrigg division of the wapentake of Agbrigg and Morley in the West Riding of Yorkshire. |
