Delve into the parish records of St. Mary Woolnoth and St. Mary Woolchurch Haw.
This volume offers a careful transcription and commentary of the united parishes in London, presenting a blend of parish history and richly detailed church records. You’ll find curated extracts, lists of church officials, and notes that illuminate life in a historic urban parish.
The book combines transcriptions of original registers with explanatory notes and supplementary material. It covers the two parishes, including accounts from churchwardens, inventories of church goods, and a map showing the parishes at distinct dates. It also explains terminology found in the records and provides context about how the men and women of the community lived, worshipped, and were recorded.
What you’ll experience
- verbatim entries from Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials, with emphasis on early parish life
- background notes that explain unfamiliar terms and roles found in the records
- an illustrated reference with a map showing both parishes and a detailed index
Ideal for readers of local history, genealogists tracing family lines, and students of London’s ecclesiastical past.
