Behind every will lies a life, a family, and a place in the landscape of Sussex. Every name here once lived. Calendar Of Wills In The Consistory Court Of The Bishop Of Chichester 1482-1800 gathers more than three centuries of wills and probate records from the central ecclesiastical court of the diocese, opening a unique window onto early modern Sussex England and the workings of Church of England wills. Compiled from original ecclesiastical court records by Edward Alexander Fry, this classic calendar arranges English wills abstracts drawn from Chichester diocesan records into an accessible, research-ready tool. Testators, parishes, occupations and dates are traced with precision, giving genealogists, local history researchers and social historians a firm framework for reconstructing Sussex family history and community life. As a genealogy research reference it stands alongside Prerogative Court of Canterbury wills and any English parish records index, providing essential coverage of those whose estates were proved closer to home. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Ideal both as a working tool within a serious genealogical sourcebook collection and as a handsome reference for classic-literature and history lovers, it remains an indispensable guide to the people, places and property that shaped the diocese of Chichester between the late fifteenth and the dawn of the nineteenth century.
