The National Archive record of wills shows: 1626 Sentence of Lawrence Stanton Dean of Lincoln; 2 years later there is a will for a Lawrence Stanton gentleman of Caythorpe. What is meant by "Sentence" in this context?

Hi Redroger,

My copy of the Dictionary of Genealogy has the following:-

Sentence  A judgment of an ecclesiastical court regarding a disputed will. Alternatively referred to as 'decree'.

So it looks as though someone disputed the will. Do you have Laurence's date of death/burial?

Thanks for that Janeada; I believe the death was 1626.
