在本文中，我们探讨了1614/1615年在英国的“大雪”。通过将教区登记册中的条目与其他档案文件和文学来源相结合，我们可以开始建立一个关于这种极端天气事件及其时间和地理范围、社会影响以及随后在文化记忆中的铭刻的详细画面。当然，这是英格兰天气史上最大和持续时间最长的降雪之一，在一些地方，冰冻之后是洪水，然后是干旱，连续的极端天气使1615年成为一个特别难忘的天气年。
In this paper we explore the ‘Great Snow’ of 1614/1615 in England. By combining entries in parish registers with other archival documents and literary sources, we can begin to build a detailed picture of this extreme weather event and its temporal and geographical extent, societal impacts, and subsequent inscription into the cultural memory. Certainly one of the heaviest and prolonged snowfalls in England's weather history, in some places the freeze was followed by flooding and then drought, and the combination of successive extremes rendered 1615 a particularly memorable weather year.
