A newly uncovered window onto a critical moment of early Tudor history. 
Thomas Cranmer’s Register records the turbulent change in England between 1533 and 1553. It is a key Reformation document, a window onto key moments in this defining period of history. This edition makes more of the text available than ever before, with transcriptions and introductions that provide a way into the often cryptic sixteenth-century formularies which comprise the text. Startling new evidence for the diocese of Norwich in 1550 sheds new light on the central role Cranmer held in the pace of reform in the English church. Additionally, records of appointments to the diocese of Canterbury, coupled with records from the court of first fruits and tenths, paint a near-complete picture of clerical promotions in the early sixteenth century.
