Place:Gartree Hundred, Leicestershire, England

the following text is based on an article in Wikipedia

Gartree was one of the hundreds of Leicestershire, England. It was located in the southeast of the county, roughly corresponding to today's Harborough District. The town of Market Harborough was its largest settlement. It gives its name to HMP [Her Majesty's Prison] Gartree, and also to the Gartree electoral division of Leicestershire.

The original meeting place of the hundred, which was used for local administration, justice and taxation, was the Gartree Bush, or "Gartree" (possibly from the Scandinavian word geir or spear), and lies northeast of Kibworth and southwest of Gaulby on the Roman Via Devana, now known as the Gartree Road. This was the open-air meeting place from the tenth century to the eighteenth century where jurors, drawn from the local villages, handed out justice and administered taxes each month. It may have been the site of a prehistoric burial mound, and the site of a previous Anglo Saxon moot place. In 1750, the meeting place was moved to the Bull's Head at Tur Langton.
