Sean Cunningham tells us how the Inquisitions Post-Mortem (IPMs) or
inquests taken after the death of people who were tenants of The
Crown reveal a great deal about land use, local customs, and how
communal memory had an important social function for our English
and Welsh ancestors. This talk looks at how these manuscripts help
to paint a picture of local life and land use during the Medieval
and Early Modern periods.
