The National Archives have made over one million wills from the period 1384 to 1858 available online. These are wills that were proved at the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC).
The following table lists the 43 Sherington people included in this archive. The actual wills can be viewed by going to the National Archives website: www.documentsonline.nationalarchives.gov.uk, follow the links to the Wills section, then search on the village name. You will need to try both 'Sherington' and 'Sherrington' spellings. The National Archives currently charge £3.50 per will.
Also, over 35,000 wills were proved by the Archdeaconery of Buckingham between 1483 and 1858. The table below includes 197 Sherington people included in this archive. The Centre for Buckinghamshire Studies in Aylesbury has a searchable online index, and copies of the wills are available from them for £4.20 plus £1.50 postage and packing.
