Gloucestershire Inquisitions Post mortem, Henry III, selective index

Niall C.E.J. O’Brien

In 1903 the British Record Society published the Inquisitions Post Mortem for Gloucestershire, covering the years 1236 to 1300 and edited by Sidney J. Madge.[1] The publication had no index except for a table of contents. This table had a reference number for the inquisition, the name of the person, or the institution concerned, the place of the writ, date of same, regal year, the reference number in the Chancery Series of inquisitions at the Public Record Office and the page number in the Record Society book.

The editor noted that plans were in place in 1903 for an index of names and places once all the inquisitions from the reign of Henry III to Edward III were published. The index below is a selective list that may aid historians and others who are interested in the research of buildings and events rather than following the great and the good.
