The Wales and Berwick Act 1746 (20 Geo. 2. c. 42) was an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain that created a statutory definition of England as including England, Wales and Berwick-upon-Tweed.
The walled garrison town of Berwick changed hands numerous times before the crowns of England and Scotland were united in 1603.
