The Churchwardens' Audit and Vestry Order Book of All Saints, Derby, 1465-1689
- Publisher : Derbyshire Record Society
Description:
Derbyshire Record Society Vol. XXXVI. The original manuscript is significant because it preserves one of the most important surviving records of local government, parish life, and social history in late medieval and early modern England, especially for Derby. Although it is a church record, it covers much more than religious matters. The manuscript is one of the most important surviving primary sources for Derby as it shows how the parish functioned as a key unit of local government before the rise of modern municipal administration.
