1. Bromhead MSS. etc., 33 items, 16-1gc., some items in which were
originally part of the Willson collection. Items i/ 1/ 1-22 were in
a hard back folder with the bookplate of the Bromhead family
of Thurlby Hall; the immediate provenance, as usual, is unknown.
There are various extracts relating to mills (i/1/4), the
Cordwainers Guild (1/1/S), being extracts from a book now in
the Lincoln City Library as M.S. 5009, and the Lincoln Parochial
Survey of 1533 (1/ 1/ 12); also here is some correspondence, e.g.
from Humphrey Waldo Sibthorpe to Sir Edward Bromhead in
1826 (I / 1 / 13) remarking on the proposed New Gaol rules. The
MSS. Tenures of Lines. (1/3) has been described before (Report
; this contains hundreds of extracts from the Public
Re!Zd,
concerning military and other tenures of property in
Lincolnshire from the 13- 16c., drawn up in the 1620’s (?), the
excellent index to which is thought to be in the hand of Bishop
Sanderson. Some of the most interesting items are literary. For
example we have (1/5) an ode called Bosworth Field by Sir John
Beaumont, dated 1629, possibly a contemporary copy; other
material includes a Jacobite skit on William and Mary (1/6) and
a translation of Ovid, Metamorphoses Bk.11 by William Thompson,
dedicated to John Bradley, the Deputy Diocesan Registrar,
who might well have owned some of these other items.

among others.
3. Inventories, 2 items, 1620-1683, for neither of which is there
