Zoom Workshop: Heralds Visitations with David Cufley

Please log in from 7.15pm                        

This workshop will look at the Heralds Visitations which were collected and compiled from the 15^th century.

From 1530 at intervals of approx. 30 years the Heralds made tours of the country to examine the claims to have arms and had the right to destroy all unlawful arms and crests.

The visitations continued until c1686.

Although some are suspect many are genealogical records of value (quote by Pauline Saul in ‘Tracing your ancestors. The A-Z Guide’ published by FFHS).

The Harleian Society has printed and published copies of the visitations.

(This is a repeat of the workshop held on 14 December 2022)

Numbers are restricted to enable all participants to ask questions, share knowledge and engage with other members.

Please reserve a place with workshop.booking@nwkfhs.org.uk  including the event, title and date together with your name and membership number.
