Title: Clerical Poll Taxes of the Diocese of Lincoln 1377 – 1381 by A.K. McHardy. Lincoln Record Society 81

Summary: A.K. McHardy's Clerical Poll Taxes of the Diocese of Lincoln 1377–1381 is both an edition of primary source documents and a scholarly study of the late medieval English clergy. It publishes the surviving clerical poll tax assessments for 1377, 1379, and 1381 from the Diocese of Lincoln, then the largest diocese in England. These records function as an almost complete census of the clergy, listing individual’s parish by parish and including secular clergy, monks, and nuns.

Purpose of the book

McHardy aims to make these rare tax records accessible while demonstrating their value for understanding the medieval Church. The extensive introduction explains:

Although centred on Lincolnshire, the Diocese of Lincoln at this period also included large areas of:

  • Leicestershire
  • Rutland
  • most of Bedfordshire
  • parts of Huntingdonshire
  • parts of Hertfordshire

The volume therefore serves historians across much of eastern and central England.
