Edition, with full explanatory apparatus, of wills and inventories
from north-east England. Complete editorial team: Joan Briggs, Rita
McGhee, John Smith, Jennifer Tindell, Ann Tumman, Xenia Webster
What was to become the town of Sunderland emerged in the earlier
seventeenth century from two parishes north and south of the river
Wear, Monkwearmouth and Bishopwearmouth, developing from a small
fishing village into a significant east-coast port and industrial
centre; a charter granted by the bishop of Durham in 1630 confirms
its status. This volume comprises its surviving probate documents
from the period 1601-50, containing material relating to some
ninety-one individuals, twelve of them women. The inventories that
accompany most of the wills (and insome cases survive where the
wills do not) detail their household goods, thus constituting a
rich source of information about ways of life and standards of
living in the early seventeenth century. The wills and inventories
are edited here in full in the original spelling, with a glossary,
introduction, notes and an index.
