Collection Info

As with other series shelfmarked MS. Ch. and MS. Rolls, this is an artificial collection created from a range of archival sources, and the provenance of individual items is not always known.

The collection catalogued in 1878 comprised MSS. Ch. Norfolk 1-753 and MSS. Rolls Norfolk 1-99. Turner and Coxe made no attempt to distinguish the sources of the collection, of which the most important were (1) material collected by Thomas Tanner, 1674–1735, and bequeathed by him to the Bodleian (2) material collected by Thomas Martin of Palgrave (1697–1771), subsequently acquired by Richard Gough (1735-1809) and bequeathed by him to the Bodleian. Further research is needed to distinguish the provenance of individual items.

MSS. Ch. Norfolk 754-859 and MSS. Rolls Norfolk 100-104 are later accessions from various sources, including:

  • Ch. Norfolk 764-825: New College leases (see the collection overview for Berkshire for further details)
  • Rolls Norfolk 100-104: presented in 1889 by the executrix of Prof. H. W. Chandler (Summary Catalogue V.904).
