What is recorded here
The public map records this plaque for Grey Plaque: The Court of Requests. Its recorded inscription reads: THE COURT OF REQUESTS This Grade Il listed building was erected in 1816, as a Court of Requests, and later extended. The Court of Requests was abolished in 1846, and replaced by a Magistrates Court and a County Court. The latter moved out in 1889. (cont.)
The Court of Requests was an important legal institution in England for the relief of poor plaintiffs who could not afford to bring their cases before ordinary courts; its abolition in 1846 marked a shift towards more accessible justice systems.
