I have just downloaded the will of John Wiseman of Great Canfield, who died in 1558, from the National Archives.

I am interested in how he disposed of his estate, particularly ex monastic land in Leicestershire. The will is eight pages long, and is rather difficult to decipher.

Has any one transcribed this will? (A long shot I know) Or are there any tips on transcribing the document?

The will is mentioned in his biography in the History of Parliament, authors Thorpe and Swales 1982. so some one has looked at it in the recent past.

Thanks in advance for any help or comments.
