Custodial history

This series and E 354 were created out of the collection of deeds, largely evidences of title, accumulated and kept by the Pipe Office. On the abolition of the Pipe Office in 1833 the deeds passed into the custody of the King's Remembrancer before being transferred to the Public Record Office in 1858.
