The Visitation returns of William Wake, Bishop of Lincoln 1705-16,
shed light on the history of over 1200 villages and the people who
lived in them in six counties of England in the early years of the
eighteenth century. Covering Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire,
Bedfordshire, Huntingdonshire, Leicestershire and Lincolnshire,
they contain detailed information about the population, religious
affiliations, schooling, charities, church attendance, and much
besides. Many individuals are named, particularly non-conformist
preachers and those who transgressed church laws or were baptized
as adults. Bishop Wake's Summary of Visitation Returns from the
Diocese of Lincoln 1706-15 is published in two parts. Part 1
contains a comprehensive introduction to Bishop Wake and the
Visitation returns. Documents included in this volume cover
parishes in the Archdeaconries of Stow and Lincoln. Transcriptions
of the summaries of the Visitations in 1706, 1709, and 1712 are
given, together with additional material from the original returns
from those years, and from 1715. This latest addition to the
Records of Social and Economic History series will be a rich source
of information for social historians, local and family historians
of these counties, and church historians.
