Thames-Ruin Commissions
Also called the Ruin Commissions
Commissions of the last century called when the upper Thames reach had ceased to be reliable; they settled which parish owed which stretch, which structures could be pulled, and who should pay.
At the table
Several villages hold their charters from them, and several running disputes are appeals against their findings; two haulage paths were assigned to parishes that no longer exist.
