Single Women 1580-1660: The Lifestyles of Spinsters, Single Women, Maidservants and Maidens by Stuart Peachey. Published by Stuart Press as part of the Living History Reference Books series. First edition 1998. Copyright Historical Management Associates Ltd. 1998 ISBN 1 85804 113 9
16 page A5 booklet with some illustrations derived from contemporary sources. The information in this booklet is derived almost solely from probate inventories. From a sample of over 600 inventories studied only eleven fall into the category of single women identified in the sub title. In the period concerned when anyone died, if they had possessions, other than freehold property, worth over 5 pounds, an inventory of their possessions was supposed to be made. This was normally done by a small group of friends or relatives who may well have been barely literate and have little practice in producing accounts. Details of all the eleven mentioned above are reproduced in this booklet.
New and unused but with some minor scuffing to the cover, all internal content is clean and unmarked.
