Custodial history

In 1949, documents relating to the educational foundations of Thomas Peacock and James Sanders (which had been the subject of a relator action in Chancery in 1812), were released by the Public Record Office (where they had formed part of Chancery Masters' Exhibits, C109/34, 35 and 165) to RYE Corporation. When the corporation archive was transferred to ESRO, these documents were listed, with documents from other sources, as RYE 112-116 and possibly 117, without any mention of their provenance.
