Wills are invaluable records of life in the past. They bring us
close to people's attitudes to death, religion, charity, and family
relationships, as well as mentioning property such as land,
livestock, clothes, jewels and furniture. This edition gathers
together all the 122 Cornish wills of personal property that are
known to exist up to the year 1540, plus extracts from a further 66
that refer to Cornwall. They are revealing about saints' cults,
guilds,education, ships, mining, genealogy, and church buildings
and furnishings. They also illustrate the importance of emigration
from Cornwall - especially to Exeter, Oxford, and London. All the
wills are presented in modern English in complete form, and an
Introduction describes how they were administered and what they
contain.
