Excerpt from Diary of the Corporation, Vol. 1: Henry Vi to Elizabeth, 1431 1602
Many of the Account-rolls, as well as other documents, have unfortunately been at some time exposed to damp, which has greatly injured them, and left some in a state almost too tender for handling; but the whole collection is now well cared for. In 1866 a Schedule was made, by the care of a then assistant Town Clerk, Mr. 5. Preston, of the number and nature of the various parcels and volumes; and this (which was very well drawn up) affords a ready means for general reference.
