The 1607 Summer Circuit

This map shows the progress of the 1531 Summer Circuit to the extent I have ascertained it. Wales was not yet included,nor were Lancashire, Cheshire, or Durham. The home circuit was tenuous, in that many of the jury verdicts in civil cases were handled at Westminster; presumably the circuit handled the criminal matters mainly. Note that Bristol was not part of any circuit, although Coventry was. I was only able at this point to ascertain the date for Southampton and not the officers in charge.
