The brilliant Chris Hoban was on local radio talking about the wills project and playing some songs!
This one is perhaps my favourite: based on the will of London widow Alice Walter, proved September 1665. TNA PROB 11/317/428.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed.
We're going to pause Zooniverse for now while we evaluate if more training is required.
