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. Cheshire 1-13. The provenance of the documents was not recorded. MS. Ch. Cheshire 1 was part of the collection of Richard Rawlinson (for which see the collection overview for Yorkshire).

MSS. Ch. Cheshire 13-219 are later accessions, many post-1800, including (Ch. Cheshire 65-215): Turner family deeds, for which see New Summary Catalogue II p. 1397.
