Internet resources and links

This is a select list of websites consulted by Manuscripts and Special Collections staff in the research for 'Archdeaconry Resources' in 2004-2005. The websites include resources relating to Nottinghamshire churches and parish histories, and resources relating to church court records and procedures in other parts of the country.

All links were checked in April 2024.

 

Detailed guides to other church court records

• York: guide to the records of the Archbishop of York and the various Peculiar jurisdictions in the Diocese of York, held at the Borthwick Institute for Archives in York. 

Articles relating to church records and research

• Articles by Alan Roberts concerning the history of Appleby Magna, Leicestershire. The series includes 'A 16th Century Scandal', 'Scandalous Wordes in an Appleby Alehouse', and 'An Appleby Penitent', each drawing on records from the Leicester Archdeaconry court.
• The Clergy of the Church of England Database. A collaborative project aiming to create a relational database documenting the careers of all Church of England clergymen between 1540 and 1835. The project is still on-going and does not yet include complete data for all dioceses.
