Hanes
James George Wood (1843-1928) was a lawyer and antiquary. Among his publications relating to the history of Monmouthshire are The Lordship, Castle & Town of Chepstow, otherwise Striguil (Newport, 1910), and The Manor and Mansion of Moyne's Court ... (Newport, 1914). With regard to his work as a lawyer in Lincoln's Inn, London, it is unclear whether he was employed directly by Messrs Hardy and Page, also in Lincoln's Inn, a firm described as 'record solicitors, record agents and translators of records', or whether he was commissioned by them to act on their behalf when dealing with specific legal cases. What is clear is that Hardy and Page were commissioned by solicitors throughout the country to report on, and prepare transcripts and translations of, records held mainly at the old Public Record Office, now The National Archives (TNA), to support the case for the defence or prosecution, often in cases involving disputed manorial rights.
