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. Yorks. 1-344 and MSS. Rolls Yorks. 1-19. The bulk seems to have formed the collection of the Yorkshire antiquarian Ralph Thoresby, briefly described in his Ducatus Leodiensis (1715). This collection passed to Thoresby’s nephew, Thomas Wilson (schoolmaster of Leeds and antiquarian), was acquired from him by Richard Rawlinson, and was given by Rawlinson to the Bodleian.

It is not always possible to identify the provenance of individual items, and Rawlinson also obtained charters from the collections of Thomas Hearne and Peter le Neve. B. J. Enright, 'Richard Rawlinson: collector, antiquary, and topographer' (DPhil thesis, Oxford, 1957), appendix D, lists charters in all the Bodleian collections then identifiable as Rawlinson’s; a few others can be added from Thomas Wilson’s papers and a transcript of some of Wilson’s papers (MS. Top. Yorks. e. 2).

The main later accessions are as follows:

  • Ch. 358-365: papers of the Hussey family (see the collection overview for Lincolnshire), presented in 1920-5 by the trustees of the Marquis of Waterford’s estate (see also New Summary Catalogue nos. 54418-503 and cf. Bodleian Quarterly Record vol. 3 p. 5).
  • Ch. 367-516: part of the collection given by Miss M. Miss Peacock, 1921 (see the collection overview for Lincolnshire)
  • Ch. 549-573: bought from Miss J. Ratcliffe, 1968
