This volume and Volume 57 present the Elizabethan wills and
inventories collected by the Exeter Orphans' Court between 1560 and
c.1602. The court administered the estates of all 'orphans' (the
children of wealthy freemen whose fathers were deceased) within the
city. They form the most important series of documents relating to
the houses, material culture and social history of people living in
Exeter during the latter half of the sixteenth century, including
the number of rooms in their homes, their furniture, clothes and
kitchen equipment, and the pattern of their debts. They are thus an
invaluable resource for anyone interested in everyday life and the
household in Elizabethan England.
