Liberty of the Rolls
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Liberty of the Rolls was a Liberty, later a civil parish within the boundaries of Westminster, in Middlesex. Named perhaps for the ancient Rolls House upon Chancery Lane where the rolls of the Court of Chancery of England were kept, or perhaps, like other parishes, its more recent chapel. The site of the house and chapel was later associated with the Public Record Office, and currently occupied by a library of King's College London.
