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. Heref. 1-25 and Rolls Heref. 1-39, of unrecorded provenance. A number of items are identifiable as MS. fol. 92 in Thomas Hearne’s collection (see his catalogue, MS. Rawl. D. 1168, pp. 140-143) and were subsequently part of the collection given by Richard Rawlinson to the Bodleian. Related material is in another volume of Hearne's collections, MS. Rawl. Q. a. 1. Many items are clearly strays from the archives of Hereford Cathedral.

MSS. Ch. Heref. 26-74 and Rolls Heref. 40-1 are later accessions from a variety of sources.
