Edition of wills and inventories throws new light on early modern
economic history. This collection of 153 wills and inventories
provides a vivid insight into the socio-economic life of the small
Yorkshire market town of Northallerton during a time of growing
prosperity, when its position on the main road to thenorth also
enabled it to prosper from wider trading links. Trades and
professions represented in the collection include yeomen,
merchants, tallow chandlers, weavers, a maltman, innkeepers and a
wide range of leather workers; the documents collected here provide
a wealth of information regarding their houses and their contents,
lifestyles and standards of living in the late seventeenth and
early eighteenth centuries. The volume also contains an extensive
glossary of obsolete and dialect terms; a substantial introduction,
discussing the history of the town during this period; and
comprehensive notes. Christine M Newman is an Honorary Fellow in
the Department of History, Durham University; Dorothy Edwards
worked in teacher training at Northampton University, and is a
local historian.
