Description (What the record is about)
-
From 1722 to 1875 the letters patent appointing new bishops and archbishops of the Church of England, previously entered in the patent rolls (C 66), were entered separately in the rolls of this series.
For much of the eighteenth century the letters patent appointing customs officers were similarly enrolled in these records. However, from 1760 the patents for customs officers were separated from those of the bishops, until enrolment of them, spasmodic after 1783, petered out in 1797. The bishops' patents continued to be enrolled in this series until 1875 and on the patent rolls thereafter.
