The University of Nottingham has catalogued a set of Presentment bonds (reports by the church wardens to the archdeacon) spanning much of the 1600s. I'll merely offer one sample (Mansfield, 1598 or 1599, AN/PB/292/9/26)
Wyllyam Pecke for having carnal knowledge of his wife Elizabeth Leevesley before marriage; Robert Parker for the like with Dorothie Ludlame his wife (the common fame is that this Dorothie committed fornication within this twelvemonth with one Thomas, an ostler at the Swan, and also with one Robert Baker, an ostler at Robert Hawlls; and so both these men have braggingly confessed before divers people); Wylliam Morfet for fornication with Agnes Willgouse; Frances Sherston for carnal knowledge with Alice Stones his wife, before marriage; Wyllyam Barloe for not coming to church for twelve months, and yet every day at one alehouse or another; Anne Langeforthe for fornication with [no name given]; Richard Hybbert and his wife for 'bawdry', because on Holy Rood day last one Jo. Bawmeforthe and Loyes' daughter (both well known to all the house, she having another husband and he another wife), lay there all that night together as man and wife, and all the next night also in one bed; the first night Richard Hibbert was not at home but the second he was.
There are many many more.
