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. Berks. 1-172, 250-6, and MS. Rolls Berkshire 1-5 (Ch. 250-6 originally Ch. Appendix 3-9, later renumbered.) Chs. 1-160 were catalogued as belonging to the archive of Wallingford Priory, subsequently part of the endowment of Christ Church; for more details see the collection summary for Oxon. (Oxfordshire). The provenance of other items was not recorded. A group of documents relating to Windsor and the College of St George may be from the collections of Elias Ashmole.
