a rich history in the town that lives on in the minds of the

Records of Church Courts in the north of England A new
resource for local history in our area is about to be
launched (end Sept 2010).The Borthwick Institute at the
University of York holds the records of the church courts in
the north of England. These records have now been analysed
and a searchable database created. The result is that a
mass of information, from every parish in the north, can now
be found very easily by local history researchers.
