Devon Parish Taxpayers, 1500-1650: Volume Three : Churchstow to Dunkeswell, Paperback / softback Book

Devon Parish Taxpayers, 1500-1650: Volume Three : Churchstow to Dunkeswell Paperback / softback

Edited by Todd Gray

Part of the Devon and Cornwall Record Society series

Paperback / softback

Description

112 tax lists for Devon for the period from 1500 to 1650. Tax lists are a key means of understanding parish life in the 1500s and early 1600s.

This collection of 112 records for towns and villages such as Crediton and Dartmouth is published here for the first time.

It reveals those individuals who were the bedrock of their societies and helps us in understanding how local society worked in this period.

It is through the study of these documents that we can unravel how differently each parish was organised in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries and see how people took part in parish life. The name lists also provide rich material for family and local historians.
