Wills and Inventories from the Registers of the Commissary of Bury St. Edmunds and the Archdeacon of Sudbury
Prior to the dissolution of monasteries, the town of Bury St. Edmund's being exempt from the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Norwich, within whose diocese it was locally situate, the wills of the burgesses were proved before the Sacrist of the monastery of St. Edmund; but, on the passing the Act 31 Hen. VIII. c. 13, confirming the surrender of religious houses to the king, the town became subject directly to the Bishop. Remaining, however, exempt from the Archdeacon, the episcopal authority was deputed to a Commissary, in whose court the wills of persons deceasing in Bury were proved till the year 1844, when, by an Order in Council issued under the powers of the Act 6 and 7 Will. IV. c.77, the town was declared to form part of the Archdeaconry of Sudbury, which, in 1837, by order in Council, had been taken from the diocese of Norwich and made part of that of Ely." - taken from preface
