The Sherringtons of England (revised edition): Undoubted Kin
A revised edition following the appointment of Archbishop John Sherrington to Liverpool Diocese.Across the tangled centuries of English history—through Medieval courts, Tudor upheavals, and Reformation trials—the Sherrington family lived, lost, resisted, and remembered. Undoubted Kin unearths their story with a researcher’s rigor and a storyteller’s heart.
Drawing from Probate records, Visitation pedigrees, Chancery files, and long-buried Parish fragments, Alan Briggs reconstructs a lineage not merely of names, but of conviction. Within these pages lie guild merchants, priests, martyrs, and sinners, each shaped by faith, law, and the architecture of survival.
From the silence of Lancaster Castle, where Francis Sherrington and his son John met unjust ends, to the soaring echoes of cathedral choirs, the book becomes a of truth reclaimed, of histories corrected, and of kinship restored.
Meticulously sourced and deeply felt, Undoubted Kin is not just a genealogical study—it’s a memorial in manuscript. It invites descendants, scholars, and curious readers to witness how the past breathes through record, music, and memory.
“There is a history in all men's lives—woven into this blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.”
