According to Whites 1856 Lincolnshire, Lawress Wapentake was one of the south-western divisions of the parts of Lindsey, in the ''Deanery'' and ''Archdeaconry'' of Stow, and consisting of the East Division and the West Division. At the time of the Domesday survey in 1086, the wapentake of Lawress included Lincoln and some surrounding areas that were separated in the "fifth year of the reign of Edward IV"〔https://books.google.com/books?id=2t8HAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA208&lpg=PA208&dq=%22liberty+of+Lincoln%22&source=bl&ots=gfnKlFKHfi&sig=rxeuSRyV7ppDDORuaCKPQxN1giw&hl=en&sa=X&ei=-MeyVPvVBIL9yQSb9oHACQ&ved=0CCYQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=%22liberty%20of%20Lincoln%22&f=false The History of the County of Lincoln, by Thomas Allen, p. 208.〕 (1465/66) to become the Lincoln Liberty.〔http://domesdaymap.co.uk/search/?geo=lincoln Open Domesday: Lincoln〕 The adjoining wapentake of Langoe also separated parishes; the village of Branston,〔http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TF0267/branston/ Open Domesday: Branston〕 located four Miles south of Lincoln, was formerly the seat of the Liberty of Lincoln.
