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. Essex 1-257, and MSS. Rolls Essex 1-18. Turner and Coxe identified material from the archives of five religious houses:

  • Tiptree Priory (Ch. 1-27, Rolls 18)
  • Horkesey Priory (Ch. 29-65, Rolls. 16)
  • Stanesgate Priory (Ch. 68-83)
  • Blackmore Priory (Ch. 157-163)
  • Thoby Priory (Ch. 165-8)
These four priories were part of the endowment of Cardinal College and the history of the archives is the same as the other Cardinal College archives described in the collection summary for Oxon. (Oxfordshire).

A further group (Chs. 84-157) is from the archives of Colchester Abbey, comprising charters relating to Wickham Skeith in Suffolk; these are probably the charters listed by Thomas Tanner (Notitia Monastica 122) as being in his possession. Further charters relating to Wickham Skeith are MSS. Ch. Suffolk 1392-1432.

The provenance of Ch. 169-257 and Rolls 1-15 was not recorded and remains to be researched. Ch. 210 belonged to Ralph Thoresby (see the collection overview for Yorkshire)

The main later accession is MSS. Ch. Essex 266b-972, New College leases (see the collection overview for Berkshire)
