Synopsis

Unlock the source of London’s early land history

This edition presents the first instalment of abstracts from the Inquisitiones Post Mortem for London, offering direct access to records that shape local and genealogical understanding of property held in chief from 1485 to 1561.

These abstracts, drawn from the Chancery series, provide detailed glimpses into how land passed at the death of tenants in chief, including related trusts, wills, and feudal dues. The material is framed to help readers learn how medieval property rights were recorded, disputed, and settled, with practical notes on wardship, livery, and the Crown’s interests.
  • Primary, reformatted excerpts from original records, focused on London
  • Context on the inquest process and the heritage of feudal rights
  • Rich genealogical and topographical detail for researchers
  • Guidance on tracing property and family connections through time
Ideal for readers of local history, genealogy, and legal history who want a reliable, ready-to-use reference to London’s medieval land records.
