Update

The latest volume in the Thoroton Society Record Series, Village Government and Taxation in Later Stuart Nottinghamshire : The Gedling ‘Town Book’ 1664-1714 edited by Edward White was launched on the 15th October 2010. The volume "contains transcripts of the unusually complete financial accounts of the constables, churchwardens and overseers of the poor of Gedling which were recorded in a single manuscript volume called the Town Book'. These provide insight into the actual working of local government at village level at this period, the process of raising both local and national taxation, and farming and village life in general. "

It is intended to publish the DVD edition of the coloured estate maps of William Senior, 1600-1640, as three 'volumes', the first of which will be an introduction and reproductions of the Welbeck atlas; this contains some 70 maps of the Earl of Newcastle's estates, mainly Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Northumberland.  A DVD of the Chatsworth atlas will follow later and the final volume will be a reconstruction of the lost survey information from the Welbeck atlas presented as a conventional publication.

Further progress has been made with editing the estate accounts of the 2nd Duke of Newcastle relating to Welbeck Abbey and Nottingham Castle, etc. during the 1670s and 80s, and the projected history and gazetteer of Lost Churches and Chapels within the county.
