Care work occupies a shadowy place in both histories of medicine and the economy. What was care? How was the labour of care distributed? What social relationships and obligations underpinned it? Who was paid and who wasn’t? Using records of testamentary disputes heard in the early modern English church courts, this paper sheds new light on the mechanics of informal care work.
