PREFACE.
AMONG the varied contents of the Public Record
Office, there is a vast quantity of Ancient Deeds, the
great majority of which are entirely unknown to students,
for want of a catalogue. They consist for the most
part of conveyances of land, but there are also agree-
ments, bonds, acquittances, wills, and other documents
concerning private persons, from the twelfth century
to the sixteenth.
Until the concentration of the national archives
during the present reign, these deeds were scattered in
different repositories in the Chapter House at West-
minster, in the offices of the Court of Augmentations
and the Queen's Remembrancer, in the Rolls Chapel,
at the Tower of London, in the State Paper Office, in
the Land Revenue Office, in the Office of the Duchy
of Lancaster, and elsewhere, and they continued scattered
long after their removal to the Public Record Office.
Some have been preserved in the boxes known as the
" County Bags," while others have been labelled as
" Deeds Domestic," " Deeds Undescribed," " Miscellaneous
Deeds," and the like, there being at least three different
sets of " Deeds Various." Very many ancient deeds
were, moreover, discovered in 1886 and the two fol-
lowing years, in huge sacks of Chancery Miscellanea,
while others had been misplaced among the so-called
" Paper Documents," " Royal Letters," " Parliamentary
Petitions," and in other recognised classes. In the
V1 PllEFACE.
absence of any systematic numeration, it was impossible
even for the officers of this Department to form the
roughest estimate of the actual number of the deeds,
and such as had been arranged before 1886 were
arranged according to different methods. Those of one
series had been placed in chronological order, those of
another had been sorted according to counties, and
those of a third alphabetically under the names of
manors and parishes. Thousands were in no order
whatever. Such Calendars or Lists as had been
attempted were in every case imperfect, and in most
cases practically useless.
Some of the deeds relate to the ancient estates of
the Crown, others to monastic lands confiscated in the
middle of the sixteenth century ; some seem to have been
brought into courts of law as evidences of title, others
to have been deposited in the Chancery for enrolment
on the . Close Rolls. If the various parcels had been
preserved intact, the deeds relating to a particular
estate, being thus kept together, it would have been
easy to draw up a general catalogue of them sufficient
for practical purposes. The task, however, of attempting
to replace them in their original order, without any
certain clue, would have been difficult as well as lengthy,
and it has been thought simpler and more satisfactory
to number them consecutively, and to give a brief
description of each document.
The present volume is the first instalment of a
Catalogue of all the Ancient Deeds preserved in the
Public Eecord Office. It deals with
Nos. 1-1819 of the A. series, consisting of deeds of
the Treasury of the Eeceipt of the Exchequer,
formerly preserved in the Chapter House at
Westminster.
PREFACE. Vii
Nos. 1-1798 of the B. series, consisting of deeds
formerly preserved in the Court of Augmentations.
Nos. 1-1780 of the C. series, consisting of deeds of
the Court of Chancery, formerly preserved in the
Tower of London and the Bolls Chapel.
Each series above mentioned will eventually extend
to a very much higher number, and another series is
being formed of deeds of the Queen's Remembrancer's
Department of the Exchequer formerly preserved at
Carlton Ride.
The Catalogue professes to give the general purport
only of every deed described in it. To have inserted
minute particulars about lands and services, and the
names of all the witnesses would no doubt have made
it more satisfactory to some students, but would have
greatly retarded its progress and increased its size,
considerations which could not be overlooked in the
preparation of a scheme for dealing with so vast a
number of documents. Moreover, the legal and historical
value of ordinary conveyances of land is hardly such
as would justify a treatment of them as full as that
accorded to documents relating to public affairs. The
originals can be readily produced in the Search Rooms
of the Public Record Office.
Unless specified as French or English, the ancient
deeds described in this Catalogue are written in Latin.
The names of counties given in them have been printed
in the margin and not in the text, but the names
of counties printed within brackets do not occur in the
documents.
The Catalogue of deeds of the A. series has been
prepared under my superintendence by Mr. E. Salisbury,
B.A., a Junior Clerk in the Public Record Office; that
PREFACE.
of the B. series has been prepared by Mr. G-. F. Hand-
cock, a Senior Clerk; that of the C. series has been
prepared by Mr. C. H. Woodruff, B.C.L., with assist-
ance from Mr. Salisbury. Most of the proof-sheets
were examined by the late Mr. W. D. Selby, and other
officers of the Department have given assistance in
various ways.
The three Indexes have been compiled by Mr. Woodruff.
The first, dealing with the names of places, gives most
of them under their modern form. Field-names have
not been indexed. The second, dealing with the names
of persons, follows the spelling of the Catalogue, without
attempting to bring together particular surnames spelt
in various ways, unless they occur consecutively in
the alphabetical arrangement. Christian names have
been omitted from it, in order to keep the Index within
reasonable limits, but it is hoped that any inconvenience
thus caused will be counterbalanced by the fact that
the references are given to short numbered paragraphs,
and not to large pages full of proper names.
