Scope and Content

This is by far the largest section of

papers from the records of St. Martin.

They comprise several title deeds on

property owned by the Parish Trustees

(with some lease books), rentals,

minutes and accounts, legal papers, and

details of wills including bequests to

the parish.

Note that after the closure of the

church of All Saints and St. Martins,

any properties owned by the parish

charities there were transferred to this

parish. Earlier documents on these may

be found at PAR189 (for All Saints) and

PAR207 (for St. Martin's).

Some other papers relating to the parish

charities and its properties may be

found at PAR211/2/A1/1 and PAR211/4/F1/8.

Many of the medieval deeds in PAR211/13

were transcribed by H.E. Salter in an

appendix to his "The Churchwardens'

Accounts of St. Michael's Church,

Oxford" (Transactions of the Oxfordshire

Archaeological Society Vol. 78 [1933]),

pp.237-274. The catalogue notes the

numbers which Salter gave them; a full

concordance may be found in Appendix

III.
