Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Catalogue of Manuscripts and Other Objects in the Museum of the Public Record Office: With Brief Descriptive and Historical Notes The Museum of the Public Record Office occupies the site of a building known originally as the Chapel of the House of the Converts, and afterwards as the Chapel of the Rolls. The House of the Converts was founded by Henry III. in 1232, for the reception of Jews who had embraced the Christian faith, and the Chapel attached to it was begun in the following year. After the expulsion of the Jews from England by Edward I., the office of Keeper of the House of the Converts became almost a sinecure, and it was usually given to the Clerk of Chancery whose duty it was to keep the rolls and other records of that department of the Government. In 1377, Edward III. definitely assigned the House of the Converts to the Keeper of the Rolls of Chancery and his successors, and it remained in their possession until 1837, when it was surrendered to the Crown. All the early Keepers of the Rolls of Chancery were ecclesiastics, but they gradually acquired an equitable jurisdiction as assistants to the Lord Chancellor, and by a silent change made in the reign of Henry VIII., the office of Keeper, or Master, of the Rolls became tenable only by a lawyer.
