Administrative / Biographical history

1226 - 1870

Provenance

These documents were the contents of drawer A.16 in College Library. Originally housed in oak boxes measuring on an average 4x6x8 inches, with sliding tops that fit into a groove. In some cases the estate to which the deeds belong has been written on the box. It is this writing that dates the boxes not later than the early part of the seventeenth century.
