The only book of its kind, this indispensable reference tool with its 17,000 entries is designed to facilitate research by giving the names and descriptions of places in England as they existed prior to 1831. Included are the location, ecclesiastical jurisdiction, population, and the date of the earliest entry in the registers of every ancient parish; in other words, genealogical information hitherto impossible to find in any but the rarest sources.
