These papers form part of the larger Manvers Collection, and were generated in the course of the management of the family's estate business. For details about the Pierrepont family and their estates, see the collection-level description for Manvers. In subject matter and date, they complement other groups of papers in the Manvers Collection. There are many areas of overlap between these groups, which are catalogued separately because of the date and manner of their transfer to the University.

The material is numbered in a straight numerical sequence beginning with Ma 3001, presumably replicating existing numbering at Thoresby Hall.

Custodial History
