This, the eleventh volume of Additional Manuscripts (Add Mss), has, in general, been compiled on the lines indicated in the Introduction to the first, apart from the modification in the detail given for maps, referred to in the Introduction to the fourth

Once again deeds of title predominate but there will also be found correspondence, including some between John Hawkins and Samuel and Daniel Lysons (Add Mss 7542) and two letters written by Eric Gill (Add Mss 7927 and 7928), poems by Oscar Lloyd (Add Mss 7104), diaries, some relating to a tour in France (Add Mss 7236-7238) and some to day-to-day events in Sussex (Add Mss 7462-7517), the working papers of the Selsey Inclosure Commissioners (Add Mss 7216-7219), a pedigree of the Ridge Family (Add Mss 7461) and miscellaneous family papers. The documents range in date from some 12th to 13th century fragments of early service books (Add Mss 7240 and 7241) to a collection of documents, 1948-1965, relating to Lancing Carriage Works (Add Mss 7224-7229)
