The Parish Chest
The Parish Chest(W.E. Tate) This is the third edition of a classic. It is the standard study of the parochial administration in England. Mr Tate's purpose was to encourage research into local and family history by describing, explaining and illustrating the entire range of civil and ecclesiastical documents that occur in parish archives; traditionally, the 'parish chest'. Many examples of typical records of all kinds are printed, transcribed and related to the conditions and laws that gave rise to them and to the earlier phases of the evolving English society whose relics they are. © Cambridge University Press, 2011 ISBN: 978-1-86077-611-3 Price: £17.99 |
