Description

A cartulary compiled by Arthur Gregory, c. 1565-90. Much of the material is derived from his own records, but there is evidence that he had access to other sources; for example, government inquisitions, a volume in the Leigh collection (which has marginal notes in his hand) and the Segrave cartulary, now lost. There is a select list of names on folios 1 to 6, a select index of names, places and subjects on folios 458 to 460, and an index to Stivichall material on folio 30. Besides these aids, Arthur Gregory gives many cross references in his marginal notes. The cartulary is divided into the following main sections
