Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Little is known about the early life of the great Tudor composer Thomas Tallis, save that his earliest appointments as a professional church musician were in Kent. In the 1920s, however, guided by the published sources then at their disposal, which strongly associated his surname with Leicestershire, a distinguished group of musicologists enthusiastically argued for an East Midlands provenance for the composer, a view that is still promulgated on the internet. More recently, he has been more closely associated with Kent, but the evidence behind the argument in favour of Leicestershire has never been systematically explored. This paper aims to do so by evaluating the rival claims and, in so doing, to introduce new evidence connecting the composer with Kent.
