5 The glebe terriers of Shropshire: part 1 (Abdon to Llanfair Waterdine).
Glebe terriers were detailed descriptions of the economic assets of ecclesiastical livings from the 16th to the 19th century. Every parish was required to compile one at intervals. They include particulars of the parsonage house (a valuable source for vernacular architecture), the incumbent's glebe (with early field-names and sometimes information on the parish's pre-inclosure open fields and commons), his tithes and fees, and local schools and charities. Dr Sylvia Watts has calendared all the extant Shropshire terriers for this edition.Part 2 (Llanyblodwel to Wroxeter), which completes the edition, is published as Volume 6 of the Shropshire Record Series.
Edited by Sylvia Watts (2001). 204 pages, including introduction. Paperback.
