Cheltenham medieval wills

Very few medieval wills are known for Cheltenham. Four survive in the PROB11 series at the National Archives, and will be added here as transcription proceeds.

Another 6 copy wills survive at Worcestershire RO. They have been trancribed from microfilm, with the loss of occasional words towards the edge of the image.

Pious bequests are a marked feature of these pre-Reformation wills, and give clues as the contemporary arrangement of the parish church in Cheltenham.
