Dr. William Wake was consecrated Bishop of Lincoln in 1705 and was succeeded by Dr. Edmund Gibson in 1716. Bishop Wake’s primary Visitation of his diocese took place in May and June 1706 and in preparation for it he addressed, in April 1706, a Letter of Advertisement to the Clergy of the Diocese. In the letter he requested details of each parish in seven questions. Subsequent visitations took place in 1709, 1712 and 1715. Bishop Gibson held his primary Visitation in 1718. His letter included twelve questions. The results of these enquiries was summarised in the Speculum under five headings. The source document is a manuscript book sometimes in English, but mostly in much abbreviated Latin. This material has been translated into English and laid out in a logical manner to enable the information contained therein to be easily accessible.
