EXCITING LOCAL
PROBATE PROJECT
Where
there's a will there's a way … and thanks to funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, via
the Heritage Centre, a team of volunteers has recently taken part in a
fascinating course to transcribe
local 17th century probate records. Very few of the
surviving wills have been studied before and they contain a wealth of information about
Churchill and Sarsden families and their
homes. When they are transcribed, they will reveal a valuable source
of local history which will be available at the Heritage Centre and
online.
