Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Chester in the Plantagenet and Tudor Reigns An attempt has been made in the following pages to put in a convenient from gleanings from the Collection of Historical Documents relating to the Plantagenet and Tudor Periods, which are preserved in the Muniment Room of the Corporation of the City of Chester. The entire collection, consisting of Charters, Municipal "Books, Letters and Corporation Accounts, and upwards of 1,400 sets of filed documents, may be roughly computed to have in its several divisions more than 200,000 separate writings." An interesting account is given by Mr. Jeaffreson of the mischances which successively befel these valuable documents: how they were drenched with rain owing to the premature unroofing of the building by workmen during some alterations: how, later, in 1861 they were exposed to fire as well as water - the fire which destroyed the old Town Hall, and the water used to put out the conflagration: how, after being removed to the old City Gaol, they ran quite as serious a risk of destruction from damp and neglect, being placed in a room which was neither dry nor properly ventilated, where they lay in moisture and disorder covered with dust and nursing seeds of slow decay, until the Town Council applied to the Deputy Keeper of Records in 1878 for advice and assistance. This application resulted in the excellent and systematic arrangement of these important Records by Mr. Jeaffreson. The documents which have been consulted for the present Work may be classified as follows: - 1. The Collection of Charters. 2. The Mayors Books and the Sheriffs´ Books, which date, respectively, from the reign of Richard II. and Henry V.
