Wills from lower social status shed light on religious, social and
cultural history. Lincolnshire has an extensive archive of
sixteenth-century probate material, preserved in the registers of
the consistory and archdeaconry courts of Lincoln, the peculiar
court of the Dean and Chapter of Lincoln Cathedral, and
thearchdeaconry court of Stow. Unlike the wills proved by the
archiepiscopal probate courts of Canterbury and York, those from
Lincolnshire reflect a population of lower social status. The
overwhelming majority come from the ranks of husbandmen, yeomen, or
tradesmen, rather than the gentry. In this respect the wills offer
a valuable source for the cultural and religious preoccupations of
the 'middling sort' and those lower in the social spectrum on the
eve of the Reformation. Equally, the detailed bequests of property,
livestock and land provide an insight into the material culture and
prosperity of the testators, as well as extensive genealogical and
topographical information of interest to local, regional and family
historians.
