Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of a Suffolk family, the Crisps, over a period of nearly four centuries. The author meticulously records wills and administrations from 1454 to 1800, providing invaluable insights into the social, economic, and religious landscape of the English countryside during the late medieval and early modern periods. The book's detailed transcriptions of wills, complete with original Latin and English translations, reveal the family's changing fortunes, their relationships with their communities, and their beliefs. We see how the Crisps inherited land, purchased property, and left bequests to their children and loved ones. We witness their charitable acts, their commitment to the church, and their participation in local guilds. The wills also illustrate how people navigated complex legal issues, such as inheritance laws and land ownership. Through these records, the author paints a vivid picture of life in Suffolk, revealing the everyday concerns of the Crisps, and their connection to the wider historical forces that shaped their world. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in family history, local history, or the social and religious history of England.
