English Church Courts by Else Churchill
Often described as
the "bawdy courts" or "court of scolds" these records illustrate the moral and
religious constraints that governed communities in the sixteenth, seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries. English family historians are familiar with church
court records relating to wills and marriage licences but much more
information about individuals can be found amongst the records of the church
courts. This talk explains what the records contain and how they can be of
help to genealogists.
