Nominations for Licenses

Various classes of people needed a license from the Archbishop to practice their calling. These included:


Stipendary Curates [17th - 20th centuries]

Lecturers [17th - 20th centuries]

Schoolmasters [17th - 19th centuries]

Parish Clerks [17th - 19th centuries]

Midwives [17th - 18th centuries]

Surgeons [17th - 18th centuries]


As part of the process for obtaining a license, nominations and letters testimonial were usually required, and these have survived in the diocesan archives held by the Borthwick Institute.
