Excerpt from A Calendar of Wills and Administrations Preserved in the Consistory Court of the Bishop of Worcester, 1451-1600, Vol. 1The ancient diocese of Worcester comprised the counties of Worcester, Gloucester, and the southern half of Warwick. In 1541 the diocese of Gloucester was formed, containing the whole of that county, which reduced the see of Worcester to the county of Worcester and a portion of the southern half of Warwick.It might be thought that the wills previous to 1541 relating to Gloucestershire would be found in Worcester registry, but unfortunately such is not the case, there being comparatively few now in existence relating to that county prior to 1541.Whilst this Preface is being written a further change in the boundaries of the diocese of Worcester is taking place. The new Bishopric of Birmingham is an accomplished fact, and as a con sequence the old See of Worcester will suffer a further diminution of territory.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
