Visitation of Leicestershire 1682/1683?
« on: Saturday 13 April 19 11:35 BST (UK) »
Hello
I'm trying to trace this elusive visitation, that being the one of 1682/1683 Leicestershrie. The only visitation I have found and have known of is the Leicestershire Visitation of 1619.
I have seen various mentions of another visitation taken at Market Bosworth in 1682/1683 but have not found this anywhere.

I have seen it mentioned in the private publishing 'The Mounteney Family, A Miscellany compiled by R.H.Mounteney' where discussing the Leicestershire branch of the family and listing the pedigree cites 'From the visitations of 1619 and 1682 (the latter entered by William Mountney, at Market Bosworth, Sept 18th 1682)'
Ive seen Nichols Antiquities mention this visitation when refering to the pedigrees of the Bent family of Cosby and the Cotton family of Dadlington. I cannot find it anywhere, has anyone else seen or have knowledge of this visitation?

It is not listed here https://www.heraldry-online.org.uk/HarleianPublications2.htm so it makes one wonder who did it.

All I have seen referring to this visitation is, as quoted by another researcher 'The Leicestershire Visitation in 1682-83, printed by Nichols, the eighteenth century historian of Leicestershire parishes'
I didn't see this in the Antiquities of Leicestershire publications by Nichols, there are a few pedigrees listed in it but not a full visitation and seeing as it was recorded at Bosworth, this must have been a proper visitation not compiled by Nichols in the late 1700s

I could always ask the College of Arms but even for a query they would most likely charge £300.
