Additional Manuscripts, Catalogue 45

Records of West Sussex Record Office Additional Manuscripts

INTRODUCTION

This is the forty fifth volume of Additional Manuscripts (Add Mss) to have been catalogued in the West Sussex Record office and it has been compiled, in general, along the lines indicated in the introduction to the first volume in November 1956

The class of Additional Manuscripts embraces all the smaller gifts and deposits of documents received by the West Sussex Record Office, as distinct from the large family and estate collections, such as Goodwood Add Mss; or accumulations from solicitors' offices, such as Oglethorpe and Anderson Add Mss; collections of official bodies, such as Quarter Sessions records; or collections from other bodies, such as the records of the Royal Sussex Regiment, each of which is referred to and quoted by name. The majority of Additional Manuscripts have been deeds of title, though increasingly a healthy balance of a vast range of other original material has been catalogued in these volumes. However the pressure of the sheer weight of material to be catalogued has meant that since volume 29 in March 1983, the catalogues of title deeds, instead of being the detailed calendars that had been prepared until that date, have mainly been summary lists, with the emphasis being placed on the property concerned in the transaction, rather than on the parties involved, or the technicalities of the type of legal conveyance being used. From the thirty sixth volume in November 1987, the accession number of each collection catalogued is given at the head of each separate catalogue

The documents listed in this catalogue range in date from a Court Roll of the Manor of Sullington, 1425 (Add Mss 48,269) to the latest of Douglas Lasseter's log books of his Sussex walks in March 1996 (Add Mss 48,532). As well as the usual deeds of title, there are manorial records, such as those for the manors of St. John's Midhurst, 1559-1585 and Lodsworth, 1581 (Add Mss 48,163-48,164); Sullington, 1425 (Add Mss 48,269); and Selsey, 1843-1923 (Add Mss 48,565-48,567); and maps, including those for farms in Horsham, 1768 (Add Mss 48,149); West Grinstead, 1835 (Add Mss 48,263); Albourne, Durrington, Haywards Heath and Hurstpierpoint, 1679-1873 (Add Mss 48,358-48,363); Broadwater, Billingshurst, Heene and Goring, 1748-1806 (Add Mss 48,403-48,406) and South Mundham, 1637 (Add Mss 48,568). Records of organisations include those of Rusper District Nursing Association, 1919-1961 (Add Mss 48,098-48,103); Chichester Festival Theatre Society, 1990-1994 (Add Mss 48,107-48,110); Storrington and District Horticultural and Handicrafts Society, 1868-1971 (Add Mss 48,156-48,162); Horsham Electrical Association for Women, 1980-1987 (Add Mss 48,167-48,170); Crawley Drama Group, 1950-1960 (Add Mss 48,224-48,226); the National Women's Register (Bognor Group), 1983-1994 (Add Mss 48,414-48,415); the Chichester Winemaking Circle, 1965-1991 (Add Mss 48,416-48,419); Chichester Townswomens' Guild, 1933-1995 (Add Mss 48,442-48,468); the Chichester Camera Club, 1949-1979 (Add Mss 48,472-48,482); and the Worthing Guild of Amateur Winemakers, 1969-1995 (Add Mss 48,802-48,805)
