Behind every brief court entry lies a story of loss, inheritance and faith in early modern England. Every entry matters to someone. Calendars Of Administrations In The Consistory Court Of Lincoln A.D. 1540-1659, edited by C. W. Foster, gathers and organises centuries-old ecclesiastical court records from the heart of sixteenth and seventeenth century Lincoln and its diocese. These meticulously arranged consistory court administrations illuminate the workings of English probate and wills under the Church of England, preserving names, kinship ties, occupations, places and dates that often lie beyond surviving English parish register records. As a historical document collection and dependable probate records reference, this volume opens a vivid window onto everyday lives in Tudor and Stuart England: clergy and labourers, merchants and gentry whose estates passed through the Lincoln consistory court. It is an invaluable resource for family historians and for anyone engaged in Lincolnshire genealogy research or tracing wider strands of Church of England legal history. First issued as part of a classic British archival record series, it remains essential reading for local historians, archivists and serious collectors alike. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for todays and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
