Arrangement
The series is arranged in a chronological series of 143 boxed items. For the reigns of Henry VII, Edward VI and Philip and Mary the draft decrees for the whole reign are contained in one or more boxes. For the period from the beginning of the reign of Elizabeth I to the end of the reign of William III the records of each regnal year are for the most part in separate boxes. for some years they are spread across a number of boxes. Conversely, on a number of occasions the records of two or more consecutive regnal years are contained in the same box. Within each file the documents are largely unsorted.
