Title: The Boston Assembly Minutes 1545 – 1575 by Peter and Jennifer Clark
Summary: The book records the day-to-day government and administration of Boston, Lincolnshire, between 1545 and 1575. Rather than being a conventional narrative history, it presents a calendar of entries from the town's assembly records. These records show how the corporation dealt with the practical running of an important Tudor market and port town. One value of the collection is that it gives historians a close-up view of everyday urban life in Tudor England. Instead of focusing only on monarchs and national politics, the minutes show how national developments, particularly religious and administrative changes affected an individual English town.
The Lincoln Record Society describes the volume as particularly valuable for understanding Boston's economic history, its religious/Puritan activity, local administration, and the relationship between central government and provincial towns
