| Activity | The Court of Wards and Liveries was a court established in 1540 by Henry VIII with responsibilities for revenue collection under the feudal tenure system. In addition, the Court also had jurisdiction over wardship and livery issues. Though the Court ceased to have a function with the abolition of feudal tenures by the Long Parliament in 1645, it was not formally dissolved until the Statute of Tenures was passed under Charles II in 1660. |
