Volume 38: Stoke Mandeville Wills and Inventories 1552–1853 (2019), 281pp

edited by Honor Lewington

Transcriptions of probate material concerning 134 people. Stoke Mandeville was a small, agricultural village and most testators had some connection with farming, but there are also wills of four members of the Brudenell family and, at the other end of the social spectrum, the village gravedigger. There is an extensive introduction putting the wills and inventories in context, and indexes of names, places and subjects.
