BREAMORE LIBERTY

containing the parish of (fn. 1)

Breamore

The parish of Breamore seems to have formed part of the hundred of Fordingbridge (fn. 2) as late as 1570–1, (fn. 3) but in 1620–1 it was returned as a separate liberty, (fn. 4) co-extensive with the parish. (fn. 5) The claim that the parish was a liberty probably arose out of the rights of Breamore Priory.
