  The liberty of Havering-atte-Bower | British History Online
The manor and liberty of Havering-atte-Bower, in south-west Essex, was conterminous with the ancient parish of Hornchurch.
The liberty of Havering lost its privileged status in 1892, but the whole area which had comprised it was re-united in 1965, when Romford municipal borough and Hornchurch urban district were merged to form the London borough of Havering.
The chief officers of the liberty were the high steward, appointed by the lord of the manor, the deputy steward, the justice of the peace, the coroner, and the high bailiff; the last three were elected in the manor courts.
