Hi  :)

Here is the one for most English wills 1384 to 1858:

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/

There are also good summaries and links and info about obtaining post-Jan 1858 wills.

it is worth bearing in mind that the wills from the National Archives, are only those that came under the jurisdiction of Prerogative Court of Canterbury.
