I know that there's one for Norfolk (http://www.archives.norfolk.gov.uk/view/NCC098134) though irts not medieval per se. It probably reflects a rough approximation of medieval boundaries.John**********************************************************************

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and cultureThank you, Rosemary.I'm editing a list of miracles relating to the canonization process for Thomas Cantilupe. Individuals are often identified by place of residence, which is usually placed in a parish, county or diocese. I am trying to confirm that the allocation of, say, a small village, to a particular parish, county or diocese is accurate. Horribly time-consuming, especially for the dioceses with which I'm less familiar.
Such a thing would be a wonderful resource, but putting it together would be a nightmare!

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Hello SueUnless I am well out of date, the short answer to your questions is no. The Canterbury & York Society considered publishing something similar in celebration of our centenary in 2004 but couldn't find enough people well-enough informed to put it together.I think the nearest thing to what you are looking for is the Ordnance Survey's Monastic Britain (1978), which plots the religious houses of Britain on two maps that show diocesan boundaries. For individual dioceses, you may find the old SPCK diocesan histories useful - I think they all have a small map of the diocese. Otherwise, the 'religious' volumes for each county in the Victoria History of the Counties of England often have maps showing archdeaconries and deaneries. Otherwise, you may find the Phillimore Atlas and Index of Parish Registers (1984, 1995) useful. It really relates to post-Reformation parishes, and was created primarily to assist family historians, but the parish boundaries probably didn't change as much as the diocesan ones did.What exactly are you looking for?Rosemary Hayes----- Original Message -----From: [log in to unmask]" href="mailto:[log in to unmask]" target="_blank"> Susan RidyardSent: Thursday, November 17, 2016 3:08 PMSubject: [M-R] Medieval English diocesesmedieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I feel that I must be missing something obvious ...******************************Does anyone know of a resource, print or preferably online, that would give a detailed map or series of maps of English medieval dioceses (c. 1300), preferably showing parish boundaries (if known) and medieval county boundaries? Especially for the southern half of the country?
Thank you!
Sue
