Can be quite tricky, my Essex ones are a bit different and not in the italics like the canterbury etc wills, they are more like lists made locally. Were fun to read!
would there be any with any Wills? Not sure how detailed they would be. I have seen inventories for some of my Essex people down to the last sheep! But none for anyone else.
Many of the papers of the Dukes of Manchester are in Huntingdonshire Archives, though I believe they are currently inaccessible because of a pending move to a new archives building in Ely.
One of my great grandfathers was head gardener at Kimbolton Castle, having been brought there from Tandragee Castle, Co. Armagh, another of the Duke's properties. It's not impossible that some of the records might have got a bit mixed up - it may depend whether a statue was thought to belong to the house and estate, or to be a more personal possession. I think the Tandragee papers are at PRONI, so that may be somewhere to try while waiting for Huntingdonshire items to become available.
