Today the Court Leet ceremony derives its name from the historic sessions created as a result of the Charter of 1346.
The original Court Leet was a municipal function, administering the laws of the ancient borough and enrolling Freemen.
Today the Court Leet continues to enrol new Freemen who can now claim their right if there are the son, son-in-law of grandson of a Freemen and are over twenty one years of age. The ceremony is overseen by the Clerk of the Llantrisant Town Trust who is accompanied by his Trustees.
The newly enrolled Freeman receives a parchment and a Freeman’s tie and swears an oath to uphold the fine traditions of his heritage.
