Cataloguing note: in all cases several bundles of legal papers, correspondence and deeds have been preserved since their creation; most individual items were endorsed with a simple title often including date presumably by the original clerks to aid identification; at a later date the documents were listed and catalogued and papers individually referenced; often there appears to be considerable overlap between the contents of various bundles which suggests that an original order was not always applied or maintained consistently; for the purposes of this catalogue in most cases no attempt has been made to change the order of bundles as they were originally referenced and listed; original labels or titles have been used with further information in brackets where necessary e.g summaries or extracts of contents
