The Statute of Cambridge 1388 (12 Rich. 2, ch. 7) was a piece of legislation passed in 1388 in England which placed restrictions on the movements of labourers and beggars.[1] Each Hundred became responsible for relieving its own impotent poor. Servants wishing to move out of the district needed a letter from the "good man of the Hundred", or risked being put in the stocks.[2]
