The Diocese of London Consistory Court was responsible for proving wills of those testators with lands in more than one Archdeaconry within the Diocese, and is the middle tier of the hierarchy of courts dealing with probate matters.  Users should be aware that wills of those people with more wealth were generally proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (held at The National Archives), and those with less wealth in local Archdeaconry courts (some held at LMA, and others in appropriate local authority record offices).
