I have a PCC will, but wondered if there are other sources around it that could be worth looking for. I tried to find an inventory at Kew to no avail, and it doesn't appear in the death duty register as only the testator's children were beneficiaries.

One thing I wondered was whether the Court kept any separate records relating to the wills proven there, e.g. a calendar of wills showing the value of the estate, more details about the beneficiaries etc? If such documents exist, where can they be viewed?

The Research Guide (http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/research-guides/wills-and-probate-records.htm) has a fair bit of information in para 2.4.1 and 2.6
