The Episcopal Registers of Lincoln commence in a series of
Rolls in the year 1209, and are continued in the form of Register
Books from 1290 down to the present time, with the exception of
breaks between 1647 and 1560, and between 1608 and 1660, for
which periods no Registers are known to exist ; it is said that four
volumes were lost in transit from Buckden, when the Palace there
ceased to be a residence of the Bishops of Lincoln.
These Registers, it is scarcely necessary to inform the reader,
comprise the records of every kind of Diocesan business,
and, amongst other things, the Wills and Administrations which
form the subject of the present volume. The entries in the earlier
books, as will be seen from these abstracts, are very meagre,
but the Wills began to be registered in full during the Episcopate
of Bishop Burghersh, and the series then comes down with tolerable
regularity to 1547, when WiUs ceased to be registered in these
books. There are also at Lincoln a large number of early Wills, ranging
from 1283 to 1550, in the Muniment Eoom of the Dean and
Chapter ; and a MS. Register of Lincoln City Wills of the 14th
century has recently been found in the Cathedral Library by the
Rev. A. R. Maddison, the Librarian. These Wills may possibly
be dealt with in a future volume.
The later Wills for the Diocese of Lincoln are of course in the
Lincoln District Registry of the Court of Probate. This Registr}',
established in 1858, exercises the Jurisdiction of the old Consistory
Court of the Bishop, and the Courts of the Archdeacons of Lincoln
and Stow, the Dean and Chapter, the Sub-Dean in the Peculiar of
Kirton-in-Lindsey, and the Prebendaries of New Sleaford, Stow-in-
Lindsey, Louth, Caistor, and Heydour-with- Walton. These Courts,
with the Peculiar of the Manor of Kirkstead, derived from the
Abbey there, make up the entire number of Courts authorised to

PREFACE.
grant probate, mentioned in the Parliamentary Return of Peculiars
for the County of Lincoln. Tattershall is in that Return included
in the Peculiar of Kirkstead, but Wills are extant which were proved
before the Steward of the Manor of Tattershall as a separate Peculiar,
derived no doubt from the College there.
The earliest Wills in the District Registry date from 1507, and
the series is fairly regular down to the present day ; but there are
no Wills for 1619, and none from 1652 to 1660, when all Wills
were proved in London. Mr. Maddison is bringing out a most
interesting volume of the Lincolnshire Wills of the 1 6th century.
With regard to the other component parts of the old Diocese
of Lincoln, the counties of Northampton, Rutland, and Oxford were
taken away in 1541-2, when the Dioceses of Peterborough and
Oxford were formed, — the Archdeaconry of St. Alban's in 1550, —
the counties of Huntingdon, Bedford, Buekiugham, and Leicester in
1837, — and what remained of Hertfordshire in 1845 ; but the post-
Reformation Wills of those counties have always been deposited in
their respective District Registries at Northampton, Peterborough,
Oxford, Bedford, Huntingdon, Hitchin, Aylesbury, and Leicester.
There are also some bundles of Wills belonging to these counties
in the Lincoln District Eegistry.
The following pages are intended to form, not so much a readable
book, as a guide and index to the persons, places and subjects
mentioned in the Wills dealt with, and in this respect it is hoped
the book wUl be useful to antiquaries.
In all cases of doubtful construction the author has, at the
risk of appearing pedantic, given the wording of the original, because
he considers that in all such cases his readers are entitled to form
their own opinion, instead of having that of the author thrust upon
them.

• At one time a regular occasion of change of surname was ordination. It was then
the '* fashion to take away the father's surname (were itnever so much worshipped or ancient)
& give the son for it the name of the town he was borniu." [Hollin3headChron.232.] Thus
William of Wykeham's patronymic had been Longe, & William Waynflete's Barlow, &
these were altogether displaced by their clerical names. The practice fell into disuse soon
after tlie Eeformation. [Hnbback on the Evidence of Succession, 464.]
