Brigadier Audland's introductory notes:

1. This list does not include any papers from the Strongroom, Library, etc., only those from the top room.

2. This sorting covers 12 sections as follows:-

WD D/B. Manor of Beetham.

WD D/C & L Manor of Crosthwaite and Lyth.

WD D/D. Wilson family and Dallam Estate papers.

WD D/Ha. Manor of Haverbrack.

WD D/He. Manor of Heversham.

WD D/Ho. Manor of Holme.

WD D/L. Manor of Levens.

WD D/M. Manor of Milnthorpe.

WD D/PR. Manor of Preston Richard.

WD D/S. Manor of Silverdale.

WD D/W. Manor of Witherslack.

WD D/Misc. Miscellaneous.

3. Files, deeds, etc. are numbered consecutively through a Section, preceded by the Section Box No., eg. WD D/B 2/15 = Beetham Box No. 2, File No. 15.

4. It should be noted that in more recent dates, papers of the manors of Heversham and Milnthorpe tend to be interconnected; similarly those of Beetham and Haverbrack.

5. Numbers in round brackets - eg. (161) in WD D/B 2/24 refer to an Index which is incomplete

6. In some cases "Box A (B etc.) "appear: these refer to Tin Boxes in the strongroom which are lettered from "A" to "Z".

PART II

Brigadier Audland's Introductory Notes:

1. This list mainly consists of papers from the Strong Room and from the other Basement Room. It does not include any papers from the Library and elsewhere on the Ground Floor.

2. Sections remain as before, with the following additions:-

WD D/HS & C Heversham School and Charity

WD D/Hu. Hull

WD D/K. Barony of Kendal

WD D/ML. Middleton in Lonsdale

WD D/NK. Nether Kellett

WD D/OH. Old Hutton

WD D/PP. Preston Patrick

WD D/SK. Skelsmergh

WD D/Wa. Warton

3. Previous notes 3, 4 and 5 apply.

4. Note 6 does not apply, since it was found on further examination that the papers were, in many cases, not in the boxes under which they were listed. In any case, the old Index Book at Dallam Tower, (which is by no means complete), being listed alphabetically, does give a general guide as to what is available. The present list gives much fuller information.

NOTE: This list is compiled from notes kindly supplied by Brigadier E G Audland of Ackenthwaite who started searching the Dallam Tower archives to find reference to his own ancestors and ended up sorting and listing them, 1968-1969.
