Description (What the record is about)
-
The cartulary is an illuminated volume of 337 vellum leaves, formerly located in C 115
Although there are fly-leaves from a later period at both the beginning and end of the volume, and an inquisition of 1532-33 inserted part-way through, there is no charter in the cartulary proper of a date later than the abbacy of John de Gamages (1284-1306). It is therefore likely that the cartulary is a transcript of charters which, a fifteenth-century history of St Peter's tells us, abbot Gamages presented to the monastery as a gift.
The deeds date from c1100 to 1338. Some make mention of the priory at Llanthony.

Custodial history (Describes where and how the record has been held from creation to transfer to The National Archives)
- The cartulary of the abbey of St Peter, Gloucester, was formerly among the deeds and papers belonging to Frances, dowager duchess of Norfolk (1750-1820), whose estate was administered on her behalf by a committee appointed under a commission of lunacy. The provenance of the deeds is not so clear. They were almost certainly kept in a muniment chest of the abbey of St Peter, since a few of them are entered in the cartulary.
-
Publication note(s) (A note of publications related to the record)
