This volume for 1997 contains transcriptions of all the 266 probate
inventories that could be traced for the parish of Uffculme, Devon,
together with abstracts of the accompanying wills and
administrations which have survived. Added to these are 322 further
abstracts of wills and administrations under the Salisbury
jurisdiction (and now housed at the Wiltshire Record Office in
Trowbridge) which have no surviving inventories. These further
wills and administrations extend to the end of the year 1800 (with
a few in the Dean of Salisbury's list beyond that date). Where
possible, notes are included on related burial and marriage entries
taken from the Parish Registers. The survivalrate of probate
inventories for Devon is poor, as so many perished with the wills
when the Exeter Probate Registry was destroyed in the Blitz in
1942. The Uffculme ones escaped because Uffculme was a Peculiar
Parish in the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Salisbury and were
kept in Salisbury during the war. The publication of this volume
will give an insight into the sort of information the historian may
gain from this type of document as well as providing aspects of
life in Uffculme and farming and woollen cloth-making
