Biography or history
Many important deeds and land-charters from the extensive collection of the late W.A. Lindsay esquire C.V.O. K.C. Clarenceux King of Arms, were sold at auction by Messrs Sotheby in February 1927. At the sale I was furtunate to secure lot 59, comprising over a hundred Yorkshire deeds; these I now wish to restore to the county from whence they came and where they will probably be of more use and interest than elsewhere. Such of these deeds as relate to the south-west corner of Yorkshire have been accepted by the Sheffield City Council for use in its reference library; of these deeds, abridged translations have been printed in the second volume of 'Sheffield Manorial Records' (1928); the remaining deeds of lot 59, which relate to other parts of the county, will, through the kindness of the Yorkshire Archaeological Society, be placed in its library at Park Place, Leeds, for the use of its members; translations have also been made of these for the use of students in Sheffield and elsewhere,
they comprise sixty-one miscellaneous documents, bearing date from 1260 to 1491; and the abridged translations are reproduced in the following pages, with some notes and queries to which they give rise.
T. Walter Hall, 2 July 1928
