The Lady's Wast ( in 'Forest or Chase of Leicester' )

[AnthonyRYates]

A 1619 Will of an ancestor from Thurlaston ( Edward Turville ) refers to a piece of
land called 'Lady's Wast' in the 'Forest or Chase of Leicester in the County of Leicester'.

Can anybody pinpoint where this land would be on a modern map ? Or provide more
information about it ?

               Thanks , Anthony , Leicester
