The trail was re-reviewed in July 2017 and was updated again in August 2019. This profile is also in badged trails from Anne Humphrey to Gilbert de Clare, Richard de Clare, John de Lacy, Saher de Quincy, Hugh le Bigod and Roger Bigod that were re-reviewed by the Project in June 2020 as part of the trail review from the West Gateways. The trails are outlined in the Magna Carta Trails section of the Gateway's profile.
